NCAA Clashes With Irish On TV Control CHICAGO, May 26 (JP) —Notre Dame, a bitter foe of controlled football telecasts, and the NCAA clashed head-on today at a broad casters convention. Both gave their opposite views on the NCAA’s “Game-of-the- Week” program for college foot ball before the National Assn, of Radio and Television Broadcast ers (NARTB) convention. Walter Byers, executive secre tary of the NCAA, said the tele vising of games involving such nationally known schools as No tre ' Dame “tremendously hurt” game attendance at many of the NCAA’s 425 member schools. But the Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, executive vice president of Notre Dame, said the NCAA’s present control policy is “reactionary, so cialistic, artificial and of doubtful legality.” The NCAA plan provides for telecasting what it feels is the top game of the week selected by its television committee, originating from different sections of the country each week. Byers said careful NCAA Re search' showed national televising of big games hurt attendance and “the most forceful statistic of all can be found in the' fact that member schools voted against un controlled television.” * He said that Notre Dame voted against the contrpl plan because it “has seen no evidence of the im pact on attendance at Notre Dame:”
