Accuse Arizona
Coach of Grid
Rule Violation
PHOENIX, Ariz., March 20—(JP)
--Larry Siemering, head coach at
nearby Arizona State College at
Tempe, stood silent today in the
middle • of a. man-size football
scandal.
He , has been accused by Joe
Matesic, an All-Conference line
man at Tempe last fall, of ar
ranging a deception to get around
Border Conference eligibility
rules.
Matesic's charges, made public
in a notarized statement this
week, rocked the state.
A member of Indiana Univer
sity's varsity team in 1950, Matesic
admitted he enrolled at Arizona
State under the name of his broth
er, Andrew, in September, with
out waiting a year as required.
Walt Ruth, Siemering's line
coach who resigned soon after
the Matesic ineligibility case first
was made known in January, con
firmed most of Matesic's , state
ment.
Dr. Grady Gammage, president
of the college, investigated the cir
cumstances when they first were
disclosed. The report of a special
college committee was never
made public.
But Dr. Gammage sai d he
talked it over with the state board
of regents and they approved his
recommendation that Siemering
be given a new contract for 1952-
53.

They crossed swords with the wrong man
wtml they engaged this swashbuckling senior
in combat! At first, he was foiled . by the tricky,
"one-puff" . . . "One-sniff" cigarette mildness tests.
But he parried their thrusts with this gleaming
sword of logic: The only way you can judge
mildness is by steady, smoking. That's the true
test of cigarette mildness!

Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels
as your steady smoke, on a day-after-day,

Santa Clara Coach Bob Ferrick

largely 'upon sophomore center
Herb Schoenstein and freshman
Kenny Sears. when he named his

When Duquesne, the NIT favor

youth and inexperience of his

rebounds, and a sharp-shooting
freshman, Dick Ricketts.
Freshman Jesse Arnelle, tab

athlete to enroll at Penn State
in many years, made the dif

team and a NCAA contender.
Besides Arnelle, the Penn Stale
squad has yearlings Jack Sherry

among the first eight players
and three other freshmen.
