In The Slush,
At the University of Illinois, wher thp "iiich-fiinrt
scandal is playing havoc with the school's Big Ten
standing and three of its major coaches, a vital lesson
for intercollegiate athletics is unfolding.
Because the school admitted giving athletes illegal
aid from a $21,000 fund, Big Ten directors have or
dered the Champaign-Urbana institution to fire the
head football coach, the basketball coach and his as
sistant, or show cause why the school's Big Ten mem
bership should not be severed. '
The punishment itself is severe, for it could result
in any or all of the following:
the termination of a 70-year membership in good
standing with the Big Ten;
the firing of football coach Pete Elliott, only the
school's third grid coach in 50 years;
the firing of basketball coach Harry Combes and
his assistant, Howard Braun, both of whom have head
can remember basketba11 ProSra longer than many
Pressure; $21,000 Worth?
It is too difficult to determine just how much of the
reasoning behind the illegal fund was based on the
constant pressure to win.
Even if the Fighting Illini are willing to admit that
alumni pressure and the pressure of big-time athletics
today were partly behind the shady handing out of from
$15 to $50 per month to athletes, still the school's over
all record would indicate something else.
Neither in football nor basketball has Illinois built
a powerhouse, and basketball Coaches Combes and
Braun have not tasted a Big Ten title since 1951 16
years ago. ,
Still, the school has always maintained a respec
table if mediocre winning way, and no one has de
manded that the axe be taken to a coach's head be
cause he couldn't win big.
Ironically, Illinois President David Henry, who turn
ed in the school for the rules infraction, is now yell
ing foul, climbing that the penalty imposed by the lea
gue is too severe.
After all, Henry maintains, the school has put the
three coaches on a one-year probation, and has for
bidden them to see prospective recruits. In addition,
a number of athletes, including several cage stars,
have been dropped from the team.
That is, Illinois maintains, enough.
'Other Days, Other Fields'
But the school's own punishment is far fr,om
enough. There may not be enough ' punishment for a
school that willfully violates the NCAA and Big Ten
rules, that willfully slips money under the table to ath
letes who already enjoy a paid education, that will
fully contributes dishonesty to the lives of developing
young men.
True, the fact that Illinois' 70 years as a Big Ten
member in good standing may be terminated, or that
three coaches may be looking for work elsewhere,
seems rather a stiff slap on the wrist.
But there is an even greater rule the school has
violated. . . a rule of life.
General Douglas MacArthur once said, "Upon the
fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that, on
other days and on other fields, will bear the fruits of
victory." His words . are so clear in their mean
ing that the United States Military Academy at West
Point enshrined them forever, carving them into Mich
ie football Satdium.
Illinois chose to ignore the words. Instead, the
school chose to keep athletes happy by violating rules
and slipping them shady money. Easy money. ,
It may make only one Illinois athlete think that
there must be an easy way to make it today. ... an
easy way to riches and "someone to always be there
with a little extra, whether it be honest or not.
But if Illinois' action makes just one athlete feel
that way, no punishment can be too severe.

The clean, crackling sound
of a bat and the constant chat
ter of a baseball team have
pervaded the Carolina dia
mond for the past three weeks
as the UNC baseballers have
prepared for the 1967 season.
Although inclement weather
has hindered workouts some
what, the Tar Heels of Coach
Walter Rabb have practiced
batting, fielding, and pitching
since the middle of last month.
This year's squad will be
hard-pressed to repeat the
record of last season's outfit
which traveled to the College
World Series in Omaha, Neb.
- Nine lettermen have been
lost from the 1966 team includ
ing all three starting pitchers.
Nine lettermen return, howh
ever, to give UNC strong hit
ting and defensive strength.

Nine lettermen have been
lost from the 1966 team in
cluding, all three starting
pitchers. Nine lettermen re
turn, however, to give UNC
strong hitting and defensive
strength.
Assistant coach Bill Barr
said the Tar Heels have per
formed well in practice thus
far. "We haven't had many
good days to work," he said,
"but we've looked real good
on the days we have gotten
out.
"Pitching will be our strong
point. Our pitching is untried
but we have some good boys
coming up off last year's
freshman team and some hold
overs who will help out.
"At this stage of the game,
the pitchers have all looked
real good. The infield will be
strong and the ojutfield should
be good, too.

The Planetarium Wrestling
Club, an unofficial extension
of the UNC wrestling pro
gram, didn't do as well as
expected this weekend in At

Southern Open Tournament,
taking only two fourth
places individually.
The Planetarium Wrestlers
"are unofficial representatives
of the University because of
a Carolina policy that unP

The Club was formed in
1954 under th motto, "See
the stars on the mat," so
that UNC wrestlers could
compete in the state AAU
tournament.
This year only two of the
nine wrestlers who Dartici

ships will rest with twelve
swimmers who leave today for
the three-day meet at Yale
University.
The Yale squad, which leads
the nation in individual rank
ings, will defend the Eastern
title it won last year against
the strong squads of Army,
Navy, UNC, and nearly 40 oth
er teams. Last year UNC took
fourth behind Yale, Army and
Navy.
second.
VPI won the tournament,
with Appalachian in second
place.
UNC wrestling coach Sam
Barnes views the wrestlers'
participation as "a good ex
ample of the amateur spirit
around here," since the paid
their own expenses.
Part of the team was flown
to Atlanta by the father of a
participant but the rest had
to provide their own trans
portation. Last year the Planetarium
Wrestlers placed fourth in the
Southern Open.
They regularly compete in
the State AAU Tournament,
the Wilkes Colleges Invita
tional, and Norfolk AAU
Tournament.
They chose to wrestle under
the name "Planetarium" in
order to be identified with the
University even while they
receive no financial support.
They will travel to Greens
boro Friday and Saturday for
their last organized activity
this season in the North
