The Old Days-
Sports Was Fun!
By JOHN KILGO
Remember the good old days
when sports were fun?
This Is a new generation,
very aware, and things have
changed.
So far this year, we’re had
a couple of bloody fights on
the basketball court, Tbe
first one featured Marquette
and South Carolina. Players
squared off and began beating
on one another. Law enforce
ment officials wearingGame-
cock red coats ran onto the
floor to act as peacemakers.
Sports Illustrated treated tbe
fight as something humorous.
Round Two came at Minn
esota. Two Ohio State play
ers were mauled, seriously
injured. Luke Witte of tbe
Buckeyes bad bis head stomp
ed while lying almost uncon
scious on the floor. Two play
ers, both black, were sus
pended for the remainder of
the season. I thought that was
minor punishment for damage
done. But now it’s in federal
court. Boys will be boys, you
know. Sports Illustrated told
us this was a very serious
incident and shouldn’t be taken
lighUy.
Duane Thomas runs a toot-
ball with great skill tor tbe
Dallas Cowboys. He called
bis coach a plastic man, tbe
team’s general manager a
liar, and then refused to talk
to anyone. Beautiful scene.
Basketball players quit at
Duke. They hate to do It, be
cause tbey love tbe Univer
sity, but only If they play
shoot and run basketball.
Tbe winter Olympics can’t
get underway until Avery
Brundage, a millionaire,
makes several Iron - fisted
rulings. "Ought to drop tbe
winter Olympics," Mr. Brun
dage says,
Dave Hill, Ured of playing
golf, picks his golf bUI up,
throws It out of a sandtrap,
and says, "Take that, baby."
ABC brings In Howard Cos
ell to do Monday night foot
ball. Cosell is to tell It like
it Is. He goes the whole sea
son and doesn’t say a damn
thing tbat makes any differ
ence.
Jim McDaniels, who report
edly signed a $3 million con
tract to shoot basketballs tor
the Carolina Cougars, flies to
Los Angeles, jumps the team.
“People expect too much of
me," Big Mac says.
For a man who has a list of
demands as long as McDan
iels, he sure Is a sensitive
sort.

THE POllS • • •
BY PETE PRITCHIE
Hashington, D.C.~ Bowie
Kuhn is, of course, at least
partly right in his criticism
of a recent poll, paid for by
pro football, which showed
football to have replaced
baseball as the nation's
number-one sport.
The poll was conducted
during the football season
and at the time of year when
baseball interest is at its
lowest. Kuhn says if a poll
is taken during the peak of
the baseball season, say
during the World Series, re
sults would be different.
It’s true, of course, that
baseball outdraws all the
pro sports and it is almost
unquestionably true that
more millions follow base
ball in the newspapers—
even though they never at
tend games—than statistics
can Indicate.
And recent World Series
ratings show a greater sports
audience than has ever been
indicated for any other
sporting event in history.
So there are two sides to
polIs.lt might, therefore, be
a good idea for the Commis
sioner of baseball to conduct
his own this spring or sum
mer, when baseball is in
full flower and football out
of season.
The results would surely
be different but one never
theless suspects that the
violence and brutality in
football, as in boxing, give
it a certain type Roman Col-
liseum atmosphere and at
traction that baseball will
never have, and shouldn’t
have.
Glaring
The faults of others are
like the headlights on an
automobile. TTiey only seem
more glaring than our own.

no demonstratloDS in Char

be that the Cougars can go to

N.C. State Is being invest

Congress doodles around
with tbe proposed merger of
tbe two professional basket
ball leagues.
Georgia Tech fires Bud

Congress told me the under

ise.
A father, angered because
a Little League won’t let his
boy participate (tbe father

wouldn’t help keep up tbe
field), takes the case to fed
eral court.
It’s all becoming terribly
boring. People are going to
soon Ure of It. They will
soon seek their esc^ In a
sailboat, or at a flshi^ bole,
or on the golf courst. When
the ball goes up the stands
will be empty.
There will be no more-mU-
llon-dollar contracts.
And I’d like to see wbat
court the jocks could take that
one to.
