WE _SPAT, INEOVMPIt 4 , 1951 The. Lion's- Lair The action of Avery Brundage, president of the National Ama teur Athletic Union, barring "subsidized college athletes, even those with scholarships" from, the 1952 U.S. Olympic teams has American sports fans fighting mad. It seems that Mr. Brundage has taken it on himself to solve the entire subsidy problem by taking it out on the United State's chances of winning .the 1952 Olympics. By Brundage's statement, "any one who is given any scholarship, Payments, or anything of value" to play sports is barred from the International games as far as-com peting for the U.S. is concerned. In 1912, after Jim Thorpe had put on a one man show for the U.S. in the Olympics, the NAAU declared Thorpe ineligible because he accepted money while playing semi-pro baseball, and forced him to give back all the trophies he had won. • Following the action . of the NAAU in Thorpe's " case and adding Brundage's new ruling, it would seem that no one whoa has ever played or competed in college, now and in the past, under' an atfiletic scholarship , will be allowed to compete in the Olympics. , Since' the NAAU took Thorpe's trophies from him after it was found out he had played ball for money, why Penn State Places Six Gridders On 'Big Three' All-Star Team Penn State placed six men on the District Big Three All-Star team selected by the Pittsburgh Press.

COLLEGE AVE. `OPPOSITE OLD MAIN" 'By ERNIE MOORE . Collegian Sports Editor shouldn't, following Brundage's statement, all former college athletes be declared ineligible because they received scholar ship help in the past. After all. we would certainly think a free college education comes under • "anything of value." But will this policy of barring all former athletes who have re ceived scholarships be in effect with the new ruling on scholar ships. If it doesn't go into effect, the NAAU will- be violating the principle it used to declare Thrope ineligible. Using the same ."logic," all for mer U.S. trophy winners who competed in college under schol arships, should be made to give back all the Olympic awards they won and all records they might have broken stricken from the books. Mr. Brundage, you've stuck your foot in your mouth. Now grit your -teeth and hold on.

IF YOU'RE AN AVERAGE SMOKER THE RIGHT ANSWER IS OVER 200! in the final round to take a close decision from Pi Kappa Phi's Robert Wylie. Both men, although dead-tired, but game to the core, put on a near-sensational final round. Their first two rounds of perpetual motion gone, the little men stood toe-to-toe, give and take, for the last two minutes. Baffa!s quick stopping of Earl Hall, Sigma Phi Alpha was one of the two shortened scraps of the six bouts. Hall ,was barely out of his corner when Baffa opened up. Referee Eddie Sulkowski, with Hall back in his corner, put a halt to the contest at that point, a 1951 record time.
