Bowl Games
NEW YORK, Dec. 10 ---:(21")
With all the cries of over-empha
sis and commercialism in ..olle
giate sports, there has been talk
—and some action—that the post
season bowl games be stricken
from the football schedules.
The Big Seven conference, in
a far-reaching move, has banned
all' post-season athletic contests
effective next year.
This action, however, was in
sharp contrast to the results of
a .poll by the Associated Press
of over 100 of the nation's sports
writers and sportscasters on the
subject. By a margin of approxi
mately 4-to-1, their opinion was
that bowl games are harmless
and should be retained.
Almost - all those who favored
retention of these games sug
gested that some sort of restric
tions be placed upon them, how
ever.
Many thought the number of
bowls be limited to a select few
such as the Rose, Cotton, Sugar
and Orange Bowls, for example.
sophomore; Andy Swingle, a
sophomore; and Mac Hummel, a
junior.
Inexperience
With Rubino and Barr b.o th
missing, Speidel will have two
more inexperienced men at 177
and the heavyweight positions.
Hud Sampson, a junior; Harold
Chamberlain, a junior; and Dick
McFeeley, a sophomore; are the
177-pound contenders.
Lynn Elingworth, a senior;
Dick Cripps, a senior; Joe Pas
carella, a sophomore; Jim Esh
bach, a freshman; and Herbert
Horikawa, a freshman, are the
leadixt contenders for the heavy
weight berth.
