The main reason tliat there has been a “sanity code” set up is to keep the members within bounds of reason if not within bounds of tiie Association’s rulings. The main prob lem tlie N. C. A. A. has to deal with is much aid the atlilete cuii receive during his college participation. iSome colleges ai’e paying their athletes sums beyond the general pub lic's imagination. Other colleges are just paying a little bit. Hardly any college fails to offer a man, along with free tuition and no fees, tree room and board. This latter takes the form of meals in the college refectory and a room in the dormitory, to a grocery account and a houae for the athlete and his family. Cer tain NCAA schools 1 know of have some athletes receiving free room, board, tuition, fees, laundry, books, “personal maintenance fees” and an automobile. True, the colleges don’t supply all these luxuries, but the contributions are made by associated agencies such as the Alumni club^ the “Win-em-all Association,” and the “Can’t Wiu-Get Moving” societies. Several weeks ago the NCAA had on the guilty list, mem bers it was going to banish from membership because oi tfaeir breaking the rules, but these dissident members have been dealth with quite leniently since those dealing out the punish ment are just as guilty as those being p\inished. Justice is often tempered by a guilty conscience. The non-conformists simply said, “yes, we give aid to athletes under no other guise than that they deserve it.” The NCAA said, “You are violating the rules and you should be dropped from member ship.” There could not be mustered enough votes to drop the rebels, however. The NCAA is now in a peculiar spot. It is advocating a plat form which its members overtly admire and appreciate but which these same inconspicuously violate. ^ “A good program, but impractical” when it comes to at tracting the best athletes to a college and keeping them satis fied and in the spirit to give their all to “dear old Siwash” and fill those huge grandstands and pay those coaches salaries. By virtue of the lack of athletic revenue, and more by virtue of genius, belief in athletics as being justified only as an educa tional instrument, the OIAA, SWAC and SIAA and MWAC are adherents of the sanity code and every other code except the fresh man rules w’liich in itself is a farcical attachment and substitute for profes-slonal form team. The entire NCAA would do more to stay with in its own rules by following the rules of these major conferences. Smith’s Bulls Beat Morgan State College CHARLOTTE The (iolden Bulls of Johnson (J. Smith University had to fight desperately last .Saturday night before scoring a 53 to 47 CIAA victoiy over Morgan State Col lege’s tight defense quintet. Wliile the sliot-niaking and teamwork was not exactly top drawer in tlui inital period, the JUilis came to life in the second half in a manner that was most l)lea.sing to the highly-pratisan crowd of about 1,5(K) fans. The visitors were o\it in fornt by 27- If) at tlie intermission period. Shots by IJalph and Howland Taylor increased the margin tc^ 31-1!) as the final chapter got under way. William Jones of the home forces and Eugene Kedd nmtched baskets as the ac tion (juickened. Taylor’s side set gave Morgan a 37-21 spread and it looked like curtains for Cal vin Irvin’s high-scoring outfit. At this point, however, William Perry, and W’^illiam McCollough •start clicking with their shots and whittled the lead to 32-27 after eight minutes of torrid ac tion. Smith gained its first lead of the i)erio(l at the 13 minute mark when McCullough broke through the Bears’ defense, stole the ball, and succeeded with an easy lay-up. After that it was strictly a Smith night as the Bulls won going away. Jones, the Bulls’ freshman aee, scored 18 points from his center position for top honors, while McCullough and Hargett were registering 12 and 10, re spectively. The l().sers’ attack was paced by Toni Howard, w'ho had 12, S'a>3’ and Taylor, who manufactured 10 each. Smith was outseored from the floor, 20-18 but mad® good on 15 of 20 foul tos.ses w'hile Mor gan was converting seven of 11. That was the deciding factor.

Shaw Bears Win Over Howard University lULEIGH Spotting the Howard Bisons a big lead in the opening minutes, the Shaw Bears caught up with th(‘ fast Capital City bunch and distanced them 5(i-4H in a thrill- |)a(‘ked contest Monday njgtht in Si)aulding Gymnasium. For the fir.st sixteen minutes of the game, Frank Booth and Thomas Harris aceo^nited for all the vis itors’ scores, Booth racking up Hand Harris 8 to give the Bisons the lead at 19-14. The turn oi the tide came when Horace Burton, big Bear guartl, went into the lineup. Burton slowed down the dead- accurate Booth and paired with Elliott Artis, Shaw center, for the biggest share iu wearing down the Bison advantage. Art is drove in to hook one at 19;00 and the Bear were ahead for the first time 26-25. John Hobbs made gotnl a lavup to end the half 28-25. In the si'coud half Walter (Roxboro) Robinson, Shaw cen ter, led the bond)ar(lment for the Bears to give t^oach Wilson’s lads a 4!)-39 advantage after IS minutes. Five minutes later tiie visitors were back in contention at 51-48. The goal sunk at 18 ;00 by Frank Booth was the last tally for Coach Eddie Jackson’s boys from W’a.shington. James Mincey mmle good on a free toss for Shaw; Horace Burton con nected on two; and Johnny llobbs went in for a snowbird to give the Bears their 8 point lead at the final whistle. Walter Itobin.son was high scorer for the Bears with 18 points; Elliott Artis was run ner-up with 11. Frank Booth \\a« Howard’s scoring leadfer with 12 points and Harris was second with 12. The Shaw Bears, overtaken by the- West Virginia State (luintct in the last four minutes, lost to the Yellow Jackets 47-37 Saturday night before a record throng in Spaulding Gym nasium. It was the first loss for the locals this season on their home court and broke an 11 liome-game winning streak. The Bears had things their way (luring tlu' first half. They Jumiu'd to an early lead and were aiicad 18-3 after seven min utes. The locals still had a 14 jioiut lead as the half ended 29- 15. ! In the s>coml half, Earl Lloyd, w ho was high scorer for the vis itors, began to connect With four miinites to go, the Yellow .iiickets knotted the score at 36- all and then went ahead when Joe (iilliam sneaked iu for a lay- uji. The Bears founl the Jacket tlefensc impregnable thereafter, while the visitors ea.sed the time away with cl»ssy ball handling in the forecourt. Eagles End Second With Pair Of Wins RALEIGH Eight boxing bouts were pre- .seuted in the Triangular Boxing Meet stiiged Saturday afternoon in Shaw University’s Spaulding Gymnasiiuu. The teams of Vir ginia State College, St. Augus tine’s, and Shaw were repre,sent- ed in the competition, iln the opening bout, Er*i^ Lytheott, Shaw', 117, won a split decisimi over* Tom Reid, Vir ginia State, 115. Thurman Cal- vine, Shaw, 132, ,s(!ored a TKO over June Carter, St Augus tine’s. 130, in the third. Wilbur Wallace, Virginia State, 145, won by a split decision over Charles Slocum, St. Aug., 145. Clarence Hunter, Shaw, 154, got the unanimous decision over Brady Mixon, Virginia State, 159. A TKO in the third was 8eorel by Alvin Davis, Virginia State, 162, over Charles Mosee, St. Aug., 160, Talmadge Artis, Shaw', 174, split-decisioiu'd Ruby McGoines, Va. State, 165. George Singfield, Shaw, 175, won a uiuiiiimous decision over Alex Morris, St. Aug., 160. An exhibiton bout was fought between Jame.s Brown, St. Aug., 184, and Robert Overton, Saint Aug., 203. The referee was Johnny Wint«!*s; judges were Dr. J. B. Davis and Wiley Lath am. Howard’s Bisons, who had started a late .drive for a tourn- mcnt berth, fell behind 9-3 in the first minutes of their game with the Tar Heels and wc're never in the ruiniing there after while Morgan, with nothing to lose but the game itself, lost just that in a display punehless offen,sive tactics which nuitehed a highly porous defetise. Neither contest w'as similar to its predeccsor last month, when the Eagles barely edged the Bisons and Bears during an im portant road trip. The final games, therefore, for .statistic- mindel fans, were important in terms of what the Eagles’ trio of high-scoring stringmen would lo. In both games, Ernest War- li(‘k, a Hickory eager, burned the nu’.shes for 25 points. Harry “Trees” Taylor, the somewhat fabulous 6’6” center from Gary, Ind., dunked in eight points a- gainst Howard au(l 21 against Morgan. W’^illiam Young, from Kan.siis Cit.v, Mo., collected nine j>oints in the How'ard contest and six in the Morgan tilt.
