Stew- aft, conference executive secretary, Who said thW matter and the ques tion of penalties for violation of the rule on financial aid to athletes vjould be the major topics of dis cussion at the annual spring meet- Last January 1 four confer- fnce Schools had teams in bowl games, bringing the demand from some quarters that there be biliiuit placed on such partici- plttott. : There were reports, that the fac- ujltjy committee might not restrict the number of teams hut accomp lish the objective by reducing the financial haul for the participants \ lilihis Would be done by cutting in ipll members of the Conference on the money the participating team rpceivhd. Stlgwart has made recommend ations regarding control of fin- jancial aid to athletes. The rule [now in effect limits such aid to tuition, books, room, hoard and laundry and bans all outside help.
