Hull Replys By PAUIqI.EVINE Collegian Sports Editor It has often been suggested that an !objective analysis of ' any controversy present bbth sides of the argument. However, some problems don't lend themselves so easily. to such.a dissehtion. The late Henry Luce once ciLtestionedi the in trying to voice "both" sides of an issue. If there are two - sides, he mused; why not threl, four or one hundred sides to any: argument. i - The recent suspensions of five Penn State gymnasts from iriternatijonal competition by the Amateur Athletic Union is an !excellent example of , a multi-sided polyliroblerr4 The incident by itself appears to have a singular meaning but when taken in per4iective with ;the entireldilemma of American amateur sports, a confusing web of contradictions clouds the issue. More is involved than merely banning five Penn State gymnasts from international:competi tion. More is involved than the___United States' chances in the Pan-AmeriCan and Olympic Games. The significance of the suspensions is hidden in an infinity of organizations,l abbreviations and red tape. Problems arise in frying to find one guilty party to blame. The overlapping and some times questionable activities of the __AAU, NCAA, FIG and lAAF merely tend to Cloud the issue. - Yesterday, in a telephope jconversatkon with The Daily collegian, Col. Donald Hull, dxecutive director of the AAU, explained his side of the con troversy. Hull would not accept the Penn State conten tion that the suspensions were unjustified because the Cologne meet was merely an interdollegiate match between "sister" institutions. "Not only were there competitors from three different countries on the German team' but ifs questionable whether either ptorhaug he Nor wegian and one of the Japanese gymnasts are even students at the University,” Hull said. 'Besides that, the Cologne contingent was a touring, inter national team and whenever a foreign; team is involved, it represents international corilpetition -whether the participants are students, Plc, mili tary, boy scouts, or whatever." Col. Hull responded to allegations .hat the AAU is simply interested in the money involved in amateur sports: "A careful search Of the facts will never show the AAU as a money-grabber." The AAU collects only two and a half per cent of the net income of its sanctioned events barely enough to cover organizational costs." Questioned about the exact functio4 of the AAU, Hull provided an analogy and a pun. "The AAU acts as an inspector," he said. "Much in. the same way the government inspects and stamps meat, the AAU will inspect and sanc tion meets." Hull had praise for one of Penn State's sus pended gymnasts, two-time NCAA all-around champion Steve Cohen, but couldn't agree with Cohen 's reasoning concerning his retirement from competition. After learning of the suspensions, Cohen had expressed his discouragement with the • AAU. "Even if I were not going to medical School, I would be reluctant to try out for the Olympic team because of the small-minded way in which the AAU treats our best athletes," Cohen had said. "Sieve Cohen is a fine gymnast and a fine young man; but ,he reminds me of someone who won't drive, a car because the police won'tilet him drive through red lights." Hull said. "Of course, in due time, hepuld be reinstated if he would apply to the AAU and would show that he cad follow the rules." Concerning the entire NCAA-AAU conflict, Hull expressed hope that the NCAA would step forward with - a constructive plan. "All we ever hear is how much power we have and how the NCAA wants an equal voice." Hull said. If they would simply ask for specific, duties, we would turn the power over to them." 00000000000000000000000000p00000p00000000000 SADLY ,ENouGH Our Business Is.

That cry will hopefully spur on the Penn State base ball team today as it takes the road for the first time in 11 games. The Lions last played away' from Beaver Field' in the season opener April 1, an 8-7 extra-inning loss at Gettysburg. State travels to Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y. today to play a: single contest with the Red Raiders. • tplgate has had troubles all season, mainly with that scourge of early: spring baseball, the weather. The Red Raiders have had six contests cancelled! for a varie,y of reasons, ranging from gold to rain fo six inches of snow. Happily for both teams. ' however, the weatherman has given the "go ahead" for ;today's game: Colgate Inconsisteni, Iriconsistent play has also troubled Colgate coach "Red" O'Hora.

Number seven man Dick John son is now number five. Number six man Rusty Washburn has slipped to the seventh position. A sophomore, Frank Guise, has sque'ezed captain Sam Wray right out of the starting lineup, and is presently holding down the number six slot. As the season has progressed the individual golfers' games have shown considerable improvement. The wind has continued as a factor this year, but in the West Vir ginia match,• the Lions gave proof that they know hoW to cope with it. gatiging their clubs to adapt to the fickle gusts. A marked change can also be seen on the greens consider ing the' Lions have regained the putting touch that had eluded them at the out-set of the season. Scott Yard Paced Linxmen As Easterns approach (May 6-C on the Penn State course), the Lions strongest man appears to be Scott Yard, the medalist in the first five contests, although team pace setter Dave Hambly - has played well lately (shooting a 72 in the wind tunnel last Saturday). Jim Geiger has been consistently in the low to middle 70's all season. Colorful Ernie Saniga, number four, has shown spurts of top-notch golf, especially when he's been behind. Coach Boyle and his team will not play another home match until the, Easterns. Today they are in Syracuse and tomorrow travel to Colgate. Boyle said he has little infor mation on the two upstate New York teams and does not know what to expect from them. Professional Athletes Forming Laobr Union PHILADELPHIA (AP) A drive to organize all pro fessional athletes into an independent labor union is rapid ly reaching the stage where it will be presented to the National Labor Relations Board for certification, The As sociated Press learned yesterday. The union 'probably to be identified as the National Players Association would include players from major league baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball AssociatiOn and possibly the National Hockey League. The embryo American Basketball League would be included if it. getS off the ground. The movement to gather all athletes into one group is being spearheaded by Bernie Parrish. a former defensive ,star with the Cleveland Browns and once the head of the 'NFL Players Association. Parrish has been quietly moving about the country enlisting athletes from all walks of sports. A reliable source told The Associated Press that many major league baseball players felt lit was a good step, and that the NBA was ready to come into the fold. The idea is 'so well thought of among labor sources that several major unions, including the International Team sters, have offered to finance the organizing drive. One union offered between $50,000 and SlOO,OOO merely to be allowed to talk to the men planning the movement. - . The source said all labor unions have been turned down however. because the athletes believe they have the brainpower within their own ranks—accountants and law yers—to run the players' union. Negro athletes, who in many instances feel they have not as yet attained !their full status in the athletic world have expressed great interest in the idea. Jimmy Brown, the retired great fullback of the Cleveland Browns, re portedly is in back of the plan. Fite. . riop ' Starting for Colgate today will be Ted Deekman-2b. the leading hitter at .377: Ray M:—catcher. an All-East linebacker last fall, who is hitting 316: Tom Wilson —lb; Ed Ryan-3b; Paul Bradley—ss: John Reid-i-lf; Ron Burtgm—cf, and Charley Cipolli—rf. The likely starting pitcher is Larry Chase; a right bander with an 0-1 record. This line-up has compiled a 282 team batting average while winning five games and dropping six. Colgate counts a 3-2 victory over Buffalo, and split double headers with Lafayette, and Notre Dame in some - earlier =action this season. The Buffalo game was high-lighted by the first Colgate triple play in O'Hora's 25 years of coaching. Medlar OK's Lineup Penn State coach Chuck Medlar will go with the .-same lineup he has used since the winning streak. began last Thursday against Indiana. Medlar is con fident that the team can win today but notes cautiously, "We always have trouble in New York." Slated'to start on the mound today is Denny, Lingenfelter, The junior righty has a record of 2-2. beating Temple 1-0 on a three hitter, and getting his second win in the 10-2 romp over Rutgers last Saturday. Lingenfelter was touched for a - sgllosl - - I - loss in the Gettystiurg game. where he relived for Jim Allgyer s and also to-A a defeat against Miler by a 4-2 margin. 'The Lion hitters have broken out of a prolonged,slump in ',the last week and the team now has three men above•the .300 mark. ;Gary Kanaskie geads the way with a .355 average. He is followea by Dave Fore at : . TPI and Shorty Stoner who is hitting exactly .330...Kanaikie leads all hitters with seven RBIs. Twin Bill At Syracuse. Following today's game the Lions move to Syracuse for a Saturday tl3, in bill against the Orangemen. Allgyer will start the first game with Frank Spaziani going in the second tilt. Allgyer holds 1-1 record, losing to Temple and downing Rutgers 4-2 in his last starting assignment. Allgyer got off to a vary bad start but has rounded into form and is now showing the stuff that made him a ;six game winner as a sophomore last year. Spazicni held Rider, top team in the district, to two runs but took an un deserved loss When the Lions scored only once. He is a strong, fast pitcher, and with any support at the plate he.poses a definite threat.
