Even though the "seven-sinners" managed to "beat the rap", on the expulsion count, they are now . faced with being barred from participating in any NCAA events. This, in fact, reaches the coal of the "Puritists" at the New j - fy T -J Alt if m: fj York meeting when they wanted to expel them. The most they could do would be barring them from the NCAA sponsored com petition. This competition includes the basketball, truck, basebull and all other tournaments'. For not com- I plying with these rules as set forth by the "sanity code," they i are denied the privileges offered the other schools. These schools, associated with the NCAA, have set up their code a code which every school should be morally bound. This is a basic law of society, but so ciety changes its laws with the times. These schools have "blasted' with almost infamous words the chargea levied on them by their associates. The Kev. Francis X. McGuire, president of Vilianova which is one of the "seven-sinners", called Ihe action taken at the January meeting "a subterfuge." The point is very well taken but there must be some kind of code to keep schools from enter ing into an "auction'' for the outstanding high school athletes. By offering these rewards", the schools are doing away with the old "college try". Instead of looking at their favorite school, athletes will be looking for the fattest pocketbook. Oklahoma last Monday entertain Colorado. Nebraska will be seeking re venge for the earlier defeat pasted on the Cornhuskeis at Colorado.
