These "all" teams that are littering newspapers the past two
weeks, along with the national "teamratings, are beginning to be
come the great American farce.
There's the All-American, the All-State, All-Conference, All-
East, All-West, All-South, All-North, Little All-American, All-
District, etc. We're now waiting for the "All-Subsidized" team
to make its appearance.
In yesterday's dailies, we ran
across the Associated Press story
/listing "the top teams in th e
/nation." They have a novel way
of picking these teams. They
have first place votes, s,e co nd

Baseball's Reserve Clause
Survives Another Attack
CINCINNATI, Dec. 5 —(1P)--
Baeball's reserve clause survived
another test today when U.S. Dis
trict Judge John H. Druffel dis
missed two cases attacking it.
He based his action on the
opinion of Chief Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes, who in 1922 held
that baseball is a sport and not a
commodity in trade or commerce.
Therefore, Judge Druffel said,
he had not jurisdiction to hear
the suits of Walter J. Kowalsky;
New York City, and Jack Corbett
of Los Angeles.
He added, however, that he dis
missed the action with the under
standing that an appeal would be
taken to the Court of Appeals,
'sixth district.
Kowalsky, the baseball property
of the Brooklyn Dodgers, asked
for $154,000 damages, charging
that use of the reserve clause by
the officials kept him from ad
vancing in his profession.
Corbett sued for $150,000 on the
ground that he was compelled to
release several players from his
El Paso club because they left the
Mexican League to join it in vio
lation of the clause.
The reserve clause binds a play-

7 Point Plan. for Colleges
Will Go Before ECAC
NEW YORK, 'Dec. 5-011—A seven-point plan for "restoration
•
I and maintenance of academic athletics," somewhat more severe
than the defunct NCAA Sanity Code, will be presented to the
Eastern College Athletic Conference at its annual meeting next week.
If the plan, offered by Asa S. Bushnell, ECAC commissioner
and president of the National Association of Collegiate Commis
sioners, is approved by the ECAC,
it probably will be proposed to
the National Collegiate A.A. in
January.
Bushnell proposes a s eve n
point program to combat profes
sionalism, subsidization and aca
demic deficiency and a four-point
"honor system" to make these
proposals effective.
President Responsible
The plan calls for the elimina
tion of all recruiting of athletes,
special subsidies for them or
grants-in-aid which are not based
on proven need. It also would re
quire normal standards of admis
sion and progress toward a • de
gree.
As a means of enforcing his
seven points, Bushnell proposes
to make college presidents per
sonally responsible for upholding
the code, with a roll call by the
NCAA at intervals of about six
months, to receive assurance.
Seven Points
Any institution found not fully
in compliance would be ineligible
for NCAA. competition and in
eligible to schedule events with
colleges in good standing. An ath
lete who received special con
sideration would be permanently
ineligible for athletics.
The seven points outlined by
Bushnell are•
1. Rigid admissions standard
