I Believe
By Tom Henderson
Big Ten faculty representatives gathered in Chicago
Thursday for their "routine March business
but their topic is the most
a ' 1 .. in

Three Illinois coaches
block because of an illegal $21,000 athletic aid fund which
has resulted in an ultimatum by league athletic direc
tors ordering their dismissal or Illinois' expulsion from
the conference.
Illinois President Dr. David D. Henrv annealed the c
tion as "too harsh" and
and alumni has revealed an
stand.
During the next few days these Big Ten administra
tors must decide whether to uphold the ultimatum of their
athletic directors or to grant the leniency sought by Dr.
Henry.
On the surface it would
by the Big Ten athletic directors is a giant step to
ward cleaning its own house. But is it?
Is the harsh punishment

of three coaches' careers?
Are Big Ten athletic directors actually following then-
conference's "de-emphasis of athletics" policy by making
the Illinois slush fund appear to be a mortal sin that no
other Big Ten school would consider? Or is the judge
ment leveled at Illinois' coaches merely an attempt to
make the NCAA believe so?
How many more flush
other, are there among the
many more in the Big Ten? The
Our guess would be over half.
How about the grant-in-aid scholarships which re
quire athletes to work for the
(tuition and books? The type of work involved usually con
sists of nothing more than winding the coliseum's elec
tric clocks once a day.
i
Such aid has NCAA approval, but isn't there a pretty
thin line between this and handing the money to the ath
letes outright?
We are not suggesting that we condone the slush fund
discovered at Illinois, but we do believe that the penalty
levied is indeed "too harsh."
Before Big Ten faculty representatives reach a deci
sion, we urge them to ask themselves these questions and
answer them honestly.
For in their hands are the careers of three coaches.
Are they merely sacrifices to keep the Big Ten from furth
er scandal?
There is precedent for a more tempered punishment
than recommended unanimously by the directors.
Iowa was suspended from the conference for a nine
month period in 1929 for irregular athletic practices and
Indiana barely escaped a similar punishment in 1957 by
suspending the guilty coach for one year, an act which
the Big Ten considered satisfactory.
Illinois, however, has already taken such action, but
this time it did not satisfy the conference athletic direc
tors. ;

Conference Track Meet . . .
Nation's Best In
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This
is the second of a four-part
series on this weekend's
Big Eight indoor track and
field championships March
3 and 4 in Kansas City.)
Areturnlng national
champion heads both the
440 and 600 lineups and
paces a relay team at this
year's Big Eight Conference
indoor championships Fri
day and Saturday in Kan
sas City.
Oklahoma's Bill Calhoun,
who shared the Indoor 440
championship at last year's
NCAA meet, and Iowa
State's Steve Carson, winner
of this season's Track and
Field Federation 600 cham
pionships, give the events
the golden look.
Chances are there will
not be a stride-for-stride
matching situation between
the two since Calhoun likes
to specialize in the quarter,
and Carson in the 600. In
addition, conference legisla
tion prohibits an individual
from entering both events.
Thus the two will be tak
ing on whatever the con
ference has to offer, which
could be plenty for both.
Calhoun, for the most
part, has been working at
over-distance events so far
as he preps for the quar
ter, where he wants to
make an all-out effort to
get Don Payne's 48-flat con
ference record. It was
Payne who beat Calhoun
here last year on the way
to that mark. Calhoun came
bark later to tie tbe form
er K-Stater at the NCAA.
The times when Calhoun
has gone to the quarter
this winter, be has sparkled.
Re ripped off a :48.1 early,
the second-best indoor quar
ter on the Big Eight books,
and found the range for a
:48.4.
Pre-Meet Edge
This gives him the pre
meet edge over Missouri's
Bob Kneile (:49.1), Frank
Lewis :49.5), and Steve
Haniburton (:49.7), Iowa
State's Rex Harvey (:49.6),
Kansas' Ben Olison (:49.7),
ton, Jim Shields, and Jim
Hardwick. Indoor and out
door placers back from las
year include Kansas'
Dwight Peck and Steve As
hurst, Nebraska's Dennis
Walker, and Kansas State's
Kerry Fairchild.
Outstanding competition
for Carson in the 600 isn't
hard to find. Even though

tion champion for the dis
tance, he doesn't show the
best time in the Conference
heading into the meet
That top belongs to Ted
NyUel of Missouri, who had
a 1:10.3 on Illinois' big
track the same night Car
son won Us title in Madi
son Square Garden. Stick
ing his nose into the battle
is Jim Shields of Oklahoma,
who has a 1:11.2 best. Then
come Nebraska's highly
touted sophomore Hugh Mc
Govera and Kansas' Peck.
Hardwick is a contender,
too.
It will, according to Car
son, take a great time to
beat him, though, pointing
out that he twice has been
the national 600 champion,
but never the Big Eight
winner for the event. He
wants this one. "I'm aim
ing for 1:08.8," says Car
son, as he looks at the
world-record listing of 1:09.0
for the event
The closing event of the
meet the mile-relay might
create one of the wildest
scrambles in Conference
history, the result of which
could be a new league rec
ord as well as a new all
time indoor best.
3:16.3 Relay
Oklahoma, with Calhoun,
Melton, Shields, and Hid 6
wick, has sped to a 3:16.3
indoors. This is the same
team which last year passed
the baton for a 3:68.5 clock
ing outdoors, the best ever
by a Big Eight unit
Missouri shows a 3:16.4
low from its crew of Lewis,
Nykiel, Halliburton, and
Kneile.
Closing in en these two
is Kansas with Dick Born
kessel, Ashnrst Peck, and
Oh" son combining for a best
f 3:19 J. Nebraska could
put together a top unit of
McGovern, Clifton Forbes,
sophomore sprinting ace
from Jamaica, Walker, and
either Larry Liss or John
Simmons and also slip to
record leveL
Striking out to tbe front
of the sprint-hurdling crops
is Kansan Lee Adams, a
junior college transfer from
Bakersfield Calif., and the
latest to become a Big
Eight world record bolder.
Golds Record
Although Adams holds the
record :06.6 for the 60-yard
low hurdles, this event has
turned out to be one of tbe
most balanced, and loaded,
on this year's card.
Before Adams made his
sweep, another Kansan,
George Byers, and Nebras
ka's Ray Harvey held a
share of the former world
record for the event.
Once this year and one
more time as a freshman,
Byers hit :06.7 in the event
and appeared to have the
best chance at this stage
Intramural
Swimming
Changed
The intramural swimming
meet schedule has been
changed because of con
flicts on the use of the pool,
according to the office of
Joel Meier, intramural di
rector. Preliminaries will be held
April 3, 4 and 6 and finals
will be Monday, April 10,
at 6:30 p.m.
Prelims in the 200-yard
medley relay and the 200
yard and 50-yard freestyle
will be April 3 at 6:30 p.m.
April 4 at 4:30 p.m., 100
yard individual medley,
100-yard butterfly, 100-yard
freestyle and diving pre
liminaries will be held.
The 100-yard backstroke,
100-yard breaststroke and
200-yard free style relay
prelims win be April 6 at
4:30 p.m.
The finals will include the
six best performers in each
division of each event and
will be run in two heats.

Tigers Go Like Coleman;
Huskers Dump Missouri
As goes Ron Coleman,
goes Missouri.
He went great guns the
first half against Nebraska
.Big 8
of the season to knock off
the old record shared by
some 20 individuals.
It was last year that Har
vey tied the mark in the
Big Eight indoor. It was
also last year that Harvey
swept to both the hurdle
titles at the indoor.
It is the same length as
the barrier event for the
sprinters, but his race is
just beyond, involving a
little more finesse when it
comes to clearing the slats.
Like its shorter brother,
though, it is loaded this
year, too.
Byers and Harvey are
the class in 60-yard high
hurdles, according to times.
Just a week ago, Byers,
who holds the Auditorium
record for the high school
hign hurdles, fled to a :07.2,
the second fastest time in
the Big Eight record book.
Already there, as a re
sult of his record run over
the highs at last year's Big
Eight indoor, was Harvey.
This year, the Husker ace
shows a :07.4 as his best,
but that is still better than
his top effort going into last
year's meet
Right between these two
with a :07.3 is Adams, who
at 5-9 has been called too
short to run the highs.
Checking in with a :07.4
might be the darkhorse of
the group, Colorado's Mark
Keller.

Tuesday night, and so did
Missouri.
But the second half was
a different story as both
Coleman and the Tigers
fizzled and the Huskers took
an 80-73 decision at Col
umbia. Coleman racked up 25
points in a first half that
found the Tigers upset
bound with a 41-34 lead. But
a defensively different
Husker team came back
from the intermission and
held Coleman to five points
in the second period.
While the Cornhuskers
contained Coleman, a ten
acious press cramped the
whole Tiger offensive 0 u t
put and Nebraska moved to
as much as a 16-point lead
before coach Joe Cipriano
sent in reserves.
Stuart Lantz was high
scorer for the Huskers
with 23, while Tom Baack
got 19 and Nate Branch put
in 16.
Branch and Baack spaced
their scoring to keep the
Huskers moving throughout
the game. Branch got 12 of
his in the first half while

Nebraska had built up

Whatever the coach said
must have taken affect on
Coleman and Tom Johnson,

Nebraska stayed a jump
