A few years ago, it was an honor to be named to an
All-American football team, but now it seems to be more
of a bother than anything else,
At least that's the impression conveyed by a Sunday
Times article by Howard Tuckner, one of the top sports
writers in the business.
Tuckner questioned the members of the Look All-American team
about their views on football and the answers he received should
make a few athletic directors and coaches blush.
For example, Duke end Tee Moorman is such a realist that
Faulkner finishes a poor second.
"College football is a business," Moorman told Tuckner.
"After you find out the cold facts, the fun wears off."
Mark Manders, an lowa guard, was the mouthpiece for the
married players.
Manders felt that a football player does a job for the school
he represents and for this he should be compensated.
The Hawkeye star said that married players were not treated
fairly and should get better expense accounts.
He explained that right now he only receives $B7 a month for
room and board—the same amount given to a single player.
The All-Americans, such as Manders and• Moorman, are brought
to New York at the expense of Look and they receive room, board,
$4O in expense money and a wrist watch for the three-day trip.
"nut some of the players apparently feel that as All-Ameri
cans they should receive a bit more than wrist watches and $40,"
Tuckner wrote.
Tuckner spoke to a Look representative who told him that
some of the players were in New York to get everything they pos
sibly could at the magazine's 'expense.
"They've been taken care of in college and they expect to be
taken care of now. It's not their fault. It's the system," the repre
sentative told Tuckner.
These are just a few examples. The Times has more if you care
to read them. If you're a football fan you should, because the article
serve's as an inside look at the heroes and the "system" we deify on
autumn weekends.
While the Look. All-Americans were being wined and dined
around New York, the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference
(ECAC) was winding up its 24th annual convention in the same city.
The most important issue before the convention was a pro
posal to ban red-shirting.
Red shining is the practice of holding a player out of compe
tition for a year (usually his sophomore year) so he will have an
extra year of athletic eligibility.
While he is being "held out." the player actually practices with
the varsity arid picks up experience.
The debate on red shirting lasted quite a while but in the end
the ECAC proposal—to limit eligibility to four consecutive years
rather than five—was beaten, 51-27.
We're happy to repOrt that Penn State, represented by Athletic
Director Ernest B. McCoy, voted for the new proposal even though
it was soundly defeated.
The reason the new ruling didn't pass was that too many mem
bers obviously felt that the proposal would impose extra hardships
on colleges that didn't red shirt but had solid reasons for maintain
ing a five-year plan.
_
In addition fo Penn State, Pitt and Syracuse also voted for the
new proposal.
Once and awhile it's refreshing to see the big schools taking
steps in the right direction to make the "system" a little better.

84-78
Penn State basketball coach
John Egli isn't alibing, he's
stating pure fact when he tells
you that the Lions lost to
Wake Forest Saturday by just
a few inches.
The final score at Charlotte,
N.C., was 84-78 and Len Chap
pell's inches made the difference.
The 6-8 Chappell, still recover
ing from a knee operation, gath
ered in 13 rebounds, just enough
to help the Deacons control the
game.
"Wake Forest definitely won
the game with superior board
strength," Egli said. "They had
38 rebounds to our 25."
Nevertheless, State, a 69-46
loser to Duke Friday night, treat
ed the fans in the Charlotte Coli
seum to an exciting show.
Down four, 42-38, at the half,
the Lions opened up at the out
set of the final period and scored
five quick points to take a 43-42
lead over the favored Deacons.
As the crowd caught its breath,
Chappell broke through for a
spinning right, hander, to give
Wake Forest the lead, 44-43.
Two more quick buckets by
little Alley Hart and 6-6 Billy
Hull gave the Deacs a five-point
lead and the Lions had a tough
time trying to get even again.
They finally did tie it at
73 with 3:10 left.
