NCAA Urges Cont College Football Crosby Charity Golf Tourney Opens Today PEBBLE BEACH, Jan. 8. (AP)—Professional stars, top-notch amateurs and celebrities from the entertainment and sports world team up here tomorrow for the first round of the annual $10,000 pro-amateur golf tournament sponsored by Bing Crosby. Bing pays all the bills and gives the profits to worthy causes. "Million dollar" cast will be chopping divots during the three-day 54-hole event. More than a hundred two-man teams, professional paired with amateur, will play a round each over the three scenic courses in this resort area—Cypress point, Monterey Peninsula Country club and Pebble Beach. After today's and Saturday's rounds, the field will be trimmed to the low 60 teams for Sunday's final 18 over famed Pebble Beach, a par 72 test that has been the site of many national tournaments. Crooner Crosby hasn't made plans to play in his personal undertaking which has potted some WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (AP)—Carl Snavely, unemployed president of the American Football Coaches Association, criticized college leaders tonight for making the coach the scapegoat of the game's abuses. Snavely also deplored the insecurity of the profession and said jealousies and backbiting had cut down many of the games' top mentors before their prime. In an address prepared for delivery to the Coach of the Year dinner honoring Michigan State's Clarence Biggie Munn, Snavely referred to the continuing fight against overemphasis and professionalism in football. "Too often," he declared; "the coach has been designated as the cause when actually he has been the victim." "He knows more about football problems than anyone else. But as a rule he is not consulted and does not take part in the reform programs." Coach of the Year Munn, who led Michigan State through an unbeaten season to the mythical national championship, was named Coach of the Year in a poll conducted by the New York-Scripps-Howard newspapers. He received a plaque at a din Coach of the Year Munn, who led Michigan State through an unbeaten season to the mythical national championship, was named Coach of the Year in a poll conducted by the New York-Scripps-Howard newspapers. He received a plaque at a dinner attended by hundreds of his cohorts. The plaque was presented by Vice President-elect Richard M. Nixon, who used the occasion to put in a strong plug for post-season ball games. In receiving the trophy Munn gave credit to his football team which he said achieved its record because of remarkable speed. "We weren't large physically but our team's speed made up for it," Munn said. "Modern football is becoming more and more a game of mobility and so our speed stood us in good stead." It was Snavely, former head coach at North Carolina, however, who provided the fireworks at the 18th annual Coach of the Year dinner. Disappointing Season Snavely, himself a one-time Coach of the Year at Cornell, resigned at North Carolina recently after a disappointing season of two victories and six defeats. He was offered faculty status at reduced salary but is reported looking for another position. There was a touch of disillusionment in his words as the silver haired veteran told the gathering that "no matter how many problems there may be they arise from fundamental causes." He listed these as: 1. desire to win; 2. desire and demand for profits over and above the amount required for football; 3. attempts by many schools to play out of their class; 4. difference in academic standards and mistrust among the educational institutions. "Now what is the position of the coach?" Snavely asked. "The answer is brutally simple. His course is dictated by the policies of his college and he is powerless to wield much if any influence over them." Pro Footballers Train for Big Battle Sunday LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8 (CP)—professional football's hardest warriors disdained dribbles today and went about their work. Ballman Cagers Still Undefeated Ballman's TVers remained undefeated in the Orange County Basketball League when they trounced Huntington Beach Flockert's Mill 75-51 played in the AUHS gym.

Webster 0 HE FLIES THROUGH THE AIR — The City suspense is terrific as Bob Skillman nears the canvas after being belted by Lawrence Jones in Golden Gloves bout in New York Scoring in College Base Soar Under New Rulin NEW YORK, Jan. 8 (CP)—The scoring is going up, up rules. Checking into its books, the NCAA's service buys teams were averaging over 80 points a game at this time than 50 to be scored against them. This year, through games of Jan 6, the service buys George Washington and Navy, have averaged more than Oklahoma A & M's perennially strong defensive outfit, was holding its foes to less than 50 points a game. Foul Rules Responsible The new rules on fouls are chiefly responsible for the upsurge in point-making. The "one-and-one" rule on free throws whereby if you miss the first shot you get a second chance, the two free throws for each foul in the final three minutes, and the no waiving of free throws have kitted the scores. George Washington, with a scoring average of 92.3 points for eight games, took over first place from Navy's undefeated array. The Middes have a 90.1 average, followed by Louisiana State, 86.1; La Salle, 84.8; and Vanderbilt 83.6. On defense it's the Oklahoma Aggies with 49.6; Tulane, 51; Idaho 51.5; San Jose State, and Maryland, 53.6 each Toledo, the defensive leader a week ago with a 48.6 mark, fell to sixth with 53.7. NIAGARA FIRST When it comes to accuracy from the floor, Niagara is first. The upstate New York school has a 44.5 per cent average in field goal attempts. Loyola of Chicago tops the foul shooting brigades with a 76 per cent average. William & Mary has the best all-around mark—41.5 per cent from the floor and 73.7 from the free throw line.

Jan. 8 UP—The television committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association hoisted a red flag of caution today against unrestricted TV broadcasts of football games and urged a continuation of curbs similar to those of 1952. Stay-at-home TV fans raised loud wails last year over the NCAA policy of permitting only one college grid game to be telecast each week. Committee chairman Bob Hall of Yale told newsmen he believes the group's final report allows room for some relaxation of the much-criticized 1952 program.

All square after two sessions in Los Angeles before cancels NCAA policy of permitting only one college grid game to be telecast each week. Committee chairman Bob Hall of Yale told newsmen he believes the group's final report allows room for some relaxation of the much-criticized 1952 program. Would Protect Colleges Hall said it might permit almost unlimited television of games in some areas where it could be done without hurting other colleges. While cautioning against the danger of unlimited television, Hall's committee specifically recommended that proper supervision could be achieved by: 1. A national TV plan which recognizes regional problems and distinctions. 2. Continuation of the rule allowing only one network appearance of any team during the season. 3. Delevopment of a pay-as-you see system. The committee recommended in general that the NCAA chart a policy in the middle course of moderation, avoiding the extremes of a complete ban on unlimited telecasting. The actual NCAA program to be put into effect next fall with regard to the thorny TV problem was not presented at the current convention here instead, the report submitted by Hall's committee today will be used as the basis for a program to be decided by mail vote of the NCAA's 400 college members. Approve 1952 Plan The committee's 39-page report said in effect that the committee still believes the 1952 TV control plan was good. It recommended that the new TV committee to be appointed at the end of the convention, should follow a similar course but left plenty of loopholes where changes could be made. NCAA members and other interested parties got their first chance to criticize during a roundtable meeting this afternoon. Representatives of the television industry were offered the opportunity to present their views. The committee's formal resolution calling for the establishment of a 1953 control program and requiring the colleges to refrain from making any TV commitments before the program is established probably will be acted upon at tomorrow's NCAA business session. Notre Dame to Fight Ed Krause, Notre Dame athletic director, has said he will carry the fight to the convention floor for unlimited football television Notre Dame, Pennsylvania and a few other schools have maintained that the NCAA has no right to dictate which colleges shall or shall not telesee games.

Active Duty Bound He enlisted several years ago in a Marine officers training program and will go on active duty at the end of this year. The world champion athlete said he hoped to participate in track and field for many more years. One of his aims is to make the next U.S. Olympic team as a discus thrower or high hurdler so he can make the trip to Australia, site of the 1956 games. In the year-end poll, Mathias received 64 first place votes and 249 points on a 3-2-1 basis.

Frank O'Gara, who has been handling the details here in the absence of promoter-star Jack Kramer, was swamped with calls and the Garden boxoffice was doing terrific business selling tickets ranging from $1.50 to $7.50. While O'Gara wouldn't commit himself there was a strong possibility that both of the shows would sell out to daily crowds of 15,000 and gates of $50,000.
