Actually, the NCAA has been making laws concerning the con-1 duct of athletics for more than a decade.• • This Year it is proposed to in corporate in the NCAA constitu tion a statement of policy that NCAA legislation shall apply to "basic athletic issues such as ad missions, financial aid, eligibility and recruiting" and that member colleges are obliged to observe the rules. This merely spells out what has been in effect, resulting in penal ties to about 100 colleges since 1952. A half dozen institutions still are on probation; mainly for violations concerning recruiting and financial aid. Proposed legislation is expected to stiffen the rules by applying a "pre-registration" law which would forbid a college to approach an athlete who has signed a cer tificate saying he intends to en ter another. A national transfer rule and several other lesser laws also are. on the docket. Also up for discussion are var ious questions of premature sign ing of college athletes by profes sional football and baseball clubs. The week of meetings opens today with committee sessions of the American Association of Col lege Baseball Coaches, one of eight associated groups that meet at the same time as the NCAA. The NCAA Executive Commit tee and Council meet Saturday and Sunday to prepare for the general sessions next week.

The veteran Penn State coach ends his one-year term as presi dent of the coaches' association at the group's annual meeting this weekend in Pittsburgh. "We have the best rules possi ble for college football right now," Engle said Yesterday. "I think the rules committee feels we have a great game too." "There will be a lot of propo sals,' the coach of Penn State's Liberty Bowl champions said. He explained that proposals of fered this' weekend- would be ex amined by the NCAA rules com mittee in Miami, Fla., next Fri day. Asked about the "wild card" substitution rule which was ini tiated this year, Engle said, "I think. the wild card worked out. very well. "But as far as a major change goes, I don't think the coaches as a group have any gripes about the rules. "This is only one man's opin ion," Engle emphasized. "I am not speaking for the coaches associa tion. I've drawn my conclusions from opinions I've been getting from coaches all over the coun try." SALE MEN'S STORE STATE COLLEGE PAGE SEVEN
