Those who favored em phasis included spring practice, the two-platoon system, and post seas on games on their list, while those opposing would have abolished all that and more. Television brought a problem. Did it help or hurt gate receipts? At the end of the year the decision seemed largely to be that it hurt The Pacific Coast Conference was placed in a unique spot: on record against TV, their Rose Bowl- was nevertheless scheduled to be tele vised nationally. The big scandal at West Point not only ruined the Black Knights' team, but it added fuel to the flames . engulfing football. Some 33 players, including the son of the coach, ' were dismissed for cheating. ' The ' prognosticates got a hlg boost when they picked Tennessee as the pre-season number-one team, and had the Vols end up right there when the leaves had fallen.' A lot of people got hurt In foot ball, and one Incident created quite a bit of trouble, Pictures seemed to reveal that Johnny Bright.. bril liant Drake halfback who also was a Negro,' was deliberately slugged in a game with Oklahoma A & M, collecting a broken jaw. When the Missouri Valley Conference refused to take action, Drake and Bradley quit the league. One new twist that reflected the howl about commercialism took place at Denver U. when a 24-year-old guard collected "back salary" from the school because he had been sidelined by an injury and missed a week of practice. Dick Kabmaier of Princeton was hailed as Hie best In the nation. He led the country in total yards gained,. getting 1,827, and he also completed 77 passes out of 123 attempted.
