Avery Brundage, president of the National Amateur Athletic Union and Olympic boss,,•has no tified colleges that "any athlete who is subsidized to play football or any other sport will not be eligible" for the U.S. teams in Olympic Games in Helsinki. In a later interview, however, Brundage said that athletes re ceiying financial aid on the same basis as other deserving students in the form of grants-in-aid or legitimate scholarships would not be affected. Lion Soccer Captain Ron Cole man, who along with Kurt Klaus received and accepted invitations for the Olympic tryouts Dec. 6 and 7 in• Philadelphia, and Coach Bill Jeffrey expressed beliefs last night that the proposal would not affect the state boaters. Klaus was not available for comment. Coleman said that he and Klaus had received the chance to try out through the efforts of the United States Soccer Football Association, and that this body would probably regulate their positions rather than the NAAU. Brundage, who defined subsid ization as "so-called scholarships, payments or anything of value to play football or other sports," found himself under attack from several quarters. Athletic Director Al Masters of Stanford led the verbal attack on Brundage. A 'former member of the U.S. Olympics selections com mittees, Masters said, "If Mr. Brundage goes through with this, I don't think we'll have much of a track and field squad in the next Olympic Games." Stanford's big worry is the sta (Continued on page eight) AIM Starts Fund Drive for Victims Of Gentzel Fire The Association of Independent Men's program for the solicitation of funds for the victims of the Gentzel Building fire has been set in motion, according to John Laubach, president Laubach has requested all Nit tany-Pollock and West Dorm floor presidents to contact the men. of their floors for donations.
