SPORTS
SLANTS
By PAP
At least one change in the inter
collegiate football rules comes out
of Chick Meehan’s Saturday night
football forum at the Hotel Penn
sylvania in New York each year.
The weekly get together is always
interesting. Coaches, officials and
sport swrlters drift in and discuss
the highlights g)f the aftei/ioon as
well as the coming gridiron battles.
The charm of the affair is its in
formality.
It all started years ago when
Meean. now head football coach at
Manhattan college, took over the
post of head coach at his alma ma
ter, Syracuse. Chick succeeded Buck
O’Neill at Syracuse and, naturally,
followed many of the precedent^
which O’Neill had inaugurated. One
of these was to take a seat on
Saturday nights in the lobby of the
Onondaga hotel. There Chick would
sit each evening following a game
tq ' receive either the congratulsv
tions or the criticism of the local
fans.
Later, when Meehan transferred I
his coaching activities to New j
York university, he selected the!
Hotel Pennsylvania as the spot to!
do his lobby-sitting. At first only {
a few friends dropped in to discuss
the happenings of the afternoon,!
but before long the gatherings in-j
creased to such numbers that the |
manager of the hotel suggested'
that it might be a good idea if the j
informal meetings were held in one
of the rooms where a measure of
privacy could be insured.
Meetings Put On Air
Visiting coaches and officials
thought the idea good and welcom- j
ed the opportunity to get togeth-1
er and discuss problems which I
arose at games. It w as a part of I
the trip to New York to which!
they all looked forward. It gave;
the coaches an opportunity to meet |
and know the sports writers. Toj
the writers it meant a veritable |
gold mine of material for columns.
The best thin? about the forum
is that it has n |ver changed in the
slightest from its original character
and purpose. Once Chick Meehan,
genial host that he always is,
thought it might add to the eve
ning’s enjoyment to serve refresh
ments. The idea was quickly dis
couraged—it Just wasn’t that sort
of party The group preferred to
hold meetings in the most informal
manner, without the slightest ef
fort on the part of anyone to or
VIRGINIANS TAKE
PLAN WITH SALT
RICHMOND, Va.. Nov. 1«.—f/P)—
The "Rlfhmond Collegian," stud
ent newspaper at the University of
Richmond, in an editorial attack on
the Southern conference's Graham
plan advocated "open and approved
financial aid” for athletes “on a
basis similar to service scholarships
Expressing itself as In hearty
agreement with the statement of
the University of Virginia's “College
ropics" that “football players are
doing as much for their schools as
those students who are serving as
laboratory instructors," The Col
legian said it had seen "actual
’ases where the enrollment of a
school has increased with the im
provement of athletics at the In
stitution.”
“Dr. Graham will fight for his
plan to the last ditch,” the paper
eontlnued. “He could be expected
to do nothing else. His proof of the
success of the plan lies in his two
schools—N. C. State and the Uni
versity of North Carolina. Both
schools have compiled excellent rec
ards. Dr. Graham points to his
schools as examples—we marvel and
raise our left eyebrows.”
The "Graham plan” adopted by
the Southern conference last year
bars athletes from any scholarships
not open to competition by all other
students, requires reports of any
autside financial aid received by
athletes and bans a number of other
practices which have been charged
to various schools by opponents of
what they term “commercialised”
and “professional” college athletics.
ganize or plan entertainment.
That's how it has been ever since.
Reports of the meetings spread
rapidly and after persistent de
mands Chick Meehan agreed to put
part of the meeting on the air.
The Manhattan coach reviews the
afternoon's games for a few mo
ments, and then the microphone is
taken around the room where bits
of conversation between coaches,
officials and writers are picked up.
They AU Come
In the course of the season just
about every football coach who
brings his team to New York or
anywhere within a radius of 100
miles or so puts in an appearance
at Meehan's forum. Lou Little, Mai
Stevens, Benny Friedman and Jim
Crowley of the local group of
coaches are regular attenders.
From out of town have come Jock
Sutherland, Elmer Layden, Gar
Davidson. Fritz Crisler, Ducky Pond,
Harvey Harmon, Noble Kizer, Andy
Kerr. Vic Hanson, Earl Blaik, Carl
Snavely, Oil Dobie. Hunk Ander

Tony Manero
World’s Eyes
By DILLON GRAHAM
PINEHUR8T, Nov. 16.—OP)—HI*
I golfing compatriots turned the
pressure on little Tony Manero to
day.
All the. U7 contenders lined up for
the tee-off under a strain as they
sought low scores in the qualifying
rounds of the national P. O. A. golf
championship, but the real pres
sure was on the slender Italian with
the Jaunty black mustache whose
"hot" streak won the last Ameri
can open.
Unnoticed as the battle of Bal
tusrol began in June, Tony set a
record pace to win with the lowest
total In History. The darkest of
dark horses came through.
Now the Oreensboro pro has to
show the boys his win was no fluke,
that he belongs In the front ranks
for keeps.
••I’ve tried to bring myself to a
peak for this tournament, mentally
and physically." he observed today.
“I’m satisfied with my game now
and I believe I’ll do well."
Manero has never gotten past
the quarter-finals of this competi
tion. called the toughest In the
worl dby the proa, but he's prepar
ed to produce this year.
Tony was called for 1:10 p. m.
paired with Paul Runyan of White
Plains, N. Y, and Leo Mallory or
Noroton. Conn.
Today the big field looked over the
18 holes of Plnehurat’s noted No. 3
layout. Another 18 holes Is slated
tomorrow with the low 63 scorer,
joining Johnny Revolts in the
opening match play competition
Wednesday. As defending cham
pion. Revolts does not have to en
ter the qualifying rounds.
In addition to Revolt*, there
were five other former titleholdars
seeking the crown again. They were
