PROVIDENCE, RI (/Pt The
National Boxing Association last
night withdrew recognition of Ar

champion because he failed to de

six months period.
Anthony Maceioni, NBA presi

said "Moore should make up his
mind whether to continue as a
light heavyweight or give up his
clown and campaign for the hea
vyweight title. It isn't fair to
Johnson and other contenders."
He said the NBA executive
committee at its Dec. 12 meetinf
in Indianapolis, Ind , unanimous

This is an open letter to the burly fan with the barroom

pert by the way—called for his
scalp.
He didn't. and you don't, con
sider the fact that State was
playing competition way over
its head for the financial help
it was getting. The same is true
this year and will be true next
year too, but we hear rumors
that things will get better.
No, you don't know these things
and are too ignorant to consider
such factoff
You don't realize that players
like Jerry West: Oscar Robeitson
and Darral Imhoff are probably
being paid to go to school.
But the Paul Sweetlands. the
John Phillipses, and Jake True
bloods are not They're here' for
the fun of the game and they give
100 per cent all the time against
,the likes of Purdue, North Caro
!lina State, West Virginia, Temple
and such.
No sir, don't blame Paul
Sweetland, John Egli or anyone
on the basketball team, blame
the athlet i c administration.
They're the ones who have pro.
Portioned the money from the
Levi Lamb fund (the athletic
aid program).
You don't realize that football,
not basketball, pays the bills
around here and that's your an
swer why the basketball here isn't
as good as it is at West Virginia,
Purdue, or North Carolina State.
But football pays many of the
hills at places like North Carolina
State, West Virginia and Purdue,
and their basketball teams man
age to do fairly well
But you must keep in mind
that our athletic administration
has ideals. It takes pride in help
ing every team, all nine. Foot
ball is king and next comes
track. After that it's be thank
ful for what you get.
Now you're asking why our
gymnastics and wrestling teams
do so well. They get the same fi
inancial help as basketball. But
'there isn't as much competition
among other major schools in
gymnastics and wrestling.
So Mr. Fan, the next time you
,come into Rec 'Hall for a basket
ball game—there's only one left
now try to remember a few of
these things and try to remember
that the Paul Sweetlands are just
students like you.
Then try to remember that the
