TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1955 Grid Conference Under Dudley Is 'News' to College Athletic Director Ernest B. McCoy said last night that the Col lege has not been approached in any way in regard to the newly proposed Northeastern Conference. The conference, under plans formulated by Bud Dudley, athletic director of Villanova College, would be a ten-team football league, with each member flaying seven or eight teams within the. ranks. Dudley named Penn State, along with Villanova, -Rutgers, Boston University, Boston Col lege, Syracuse, Holy Cross,'Col gate, Temple and Fordham as possible members. i “We have not been approached by anyone,” McCoy said, “and I would not be in a position to dis cuss it (the proposed conference) until the matter was .discussed with the Athletic Advisory Board and the Board of Trustees.” Assistant Athletic Director Har old R. Gilbert said that school officials knew nothing about the league. He termed the proposal as “wishful thinking by other in stitutions.” “The Pennsylvania State Col lege would be open to thoughts of a league if it was for its better ment,” he said, ‘‘but I am not in terested in this particular league proposal.” Both McCoy and Gilbert first heard about the proposal through wire service releases Friday night and ' Saturday. Neither they or x Head Football Coach Rip Engle were contacted by Dudley. . Supreme Court Rules Baseball Is a Sport WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (A I )—Baseball won a major victory to day when the Supreme Court ruled for the second time that, in the eyes, of federal law, the game is a sport and not an interstate business. This means that baseball cannot be challenged in the courts as an illegal monopoly and that the game’s controversial reserve clause will stay on the books un less Congress does something about it Rep. Keating (R-NY), chairman of the monopoly subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee, said in the wake of the decision that he knows of ho legislation in the works to put baseball under the antitrust laws or to exempt it specifici'ally. He said, however, -it was pos sible the Supreme Court decision might lead to the introduction of a bill that would clarify how Con gress stands on the issue. The monopoly subcommittee studied the question extensively two years ago, but took no action. Chief Justice Warren read to day’s brief opinion, to which two justices dissented. It was a “per cuhiam” decision, that is, one is sued by the court rather than ov er the signature of an individual justice. Apparently the court split 7-2 on the question. Justice Burton got out a vigor ous dissent, in which Justice Reed concurred. The majority decision held that there is no reason to overturn the Supreme Court ruling of 1922, written by the late Just ice Holmes, in whichh it was decid ed unanimously that baseball is not subject to the nation’s anti trust laws. “We think,” Waren said, “that if there are evils in this field which now warrant application to it of the antitrust laws, it should be by legislation.” The court’s decision, Warren continued, was made “without re examination of the underlying is sues” and on the authority of the 1922 ruling that “Congress had no intention of including the busi ness of baseball within' the scope of the federal antitrust laws.” Baseball men, from Commis sioner Ford Frick on down, re ported themselves as highly pleased with the decision. Three cases were before the high court in appeals on behalf of George Toolson, a former farm player for the New York Yankees; Walter J. Kowalski, a former Brooklyn farm player, and Jack Corbett, former owner of an Elj Wernermen— (Continued from page six) struck the East coast over the weekend.

John Chillrud crossed the finish line in eighth place with a time of 27:44. The seventh and final Nittany runner was Ed Steel. His clocking of 28:05 was good enough for 12th place. _ Seventh place went to J. En right of George Eastment’s newly crowned metropolitan' intercol legiate cross-country squad. The- results: 1.

In appealing to the Supreme Court, the three argued that base ball’s reserve clause violates the Constitution. Today’s decision did not decide that question one way or the oth er. It was to the effect only that baseball is" not subject to the anti trust laws. The reserve clause is a provi sion written into all baseball con tracts to bind players to the clubs which “own” them. Their baseball services are completely controlled by the clubs which hold their con tracts. Attorneys arguing for the over throw of the 1922 decision con tended this clause puts baseball players in a position “equal to slavery.” Notre Dame Tops AP Poll; W.

Penn State’s ’ endeavor to get back into the scoring column was halted when Franz intercepted a Rados pass. Three plays later, Rados returned the gesture by intercepting Franz’ pass. Rados brought the pigskin from his own 49 to Fordham’s 45. With fourth down and one yard to igo for a first down, Rados made two on a sneak play. The follow ing play. saw Younker take an in side reverse from Rados. He twist ed and turned beautifully past Fordham’s secondaries to score. To make sure he would reach the goal line on his 35-yard run, Younker leaped a few yards from the chalk mark, landing on one foot then rolling into the end zone. Garrity’s third conversion was good.
