Athletic Scholarships Draw -
Defense From High Officials
By The Associated Press
An attack on athletic scholar
ships by the president of Yale Uni
versity drew sharp rebuttal Wed
nesday from a number of college
athletic officials.
In a speech Monday, Dr. A.
Whitney Griswold, the Yale presi
dent, criticized athletic scholar
ships as “one of the greatest ed
ucational swindles ever perpetrat
ed on American youth.”
Dr. Griswold said “its aim is
not the education of American
youth, but the entertainment of its
elders. . .Not the welfare of the
athlete but the pleasure of the*
spectator.”
Yale is a member of the Ivy
League, which prohibits athletic
scholarships.
O. B. Williams, chairman of the
University of Texas’ Athletic
Council and president of the South
west Conference, termed the schol-
Engineer Victory, One Tie
Sets Corps Baseball Rolling
Corps baseball, 1959, got started
with a bang last night as the two
Air Force league teams ended their
contest in a tie while the Engineer
battalion dumped the Composite
outfit in Army play.
The whole thing was kicked off
in style as Col. Charles E. Gregory,
professor of air science, and Col.
Frank L. Elder, professor of mili
tary science and tactics, teamed to
throw out the first ball. They en
joyed their antics so much, in fact,
that they threw sevei’al.
In the Air Force opener, the 2nd
Group put together five walks and
a single to score two runs just be
fore the time limit was up and tie
the Band, 2-2. The game will be
entered in the records as a tie ac
cording to rules.
Bobby Lindsay $nd Paul Thur
man shared mound duties for the
victors, giving up five hits and
striking out six. Bill Huckaby
went the distance for the Band,
allowing the lone single and fan
ning eight.
The Engineers chased across
four runs in the third frame to
down the Composite nine, 4-1. Da
vid Rogerson went all the way on
the hill for the victory, while Cul
len Allen took the defeat.
Marked with enthusiasm, the two
games tonight promised big things
for the Corps baseball leagues this
season, the third time it is in op
eration. The two 8-team leagues
have a full schedule ahead of them,
with the regular season due to end
shortly after Easter.
Tonight’s games will see the 2nd
Battalion, 1st Regiment, take on
the Army Civilians (civilian dormi
tory team) at 7:30, while the 1st
Group meets the Air Force Civili
ans at 9:15. Both games will again
be played in Travis Park.
arships “a fine thing.”
Asked for comment on Dr. Gris
wold’s statement, Williams said:
“All I can say is that it is one
man’s opinion and it certainly isn’t
mine. Athletic" scholarships here
have enabled students to get an
education when they might not
have gotten one otherwise, and I
can’t see whei'e there is any swin
dle connected with that.”
Earl Sneed, dean of the Univer
sity of Oklahoma Law School and
chairman of the Big Eight con
ference, also cited the increased op
portunity for an education provid
ed by such scholarships.
Kermit Bud Laabs, commissioner
of the Frontier Conference in the
Southwest, was more blunt: “A
swindle, my eye,” he answered. “If
athletic scholarships are a swindle
why not use the same yardstick in
measuring the value of scholar
ships awarded for other activities ?
“Some 90 percent of those
granted athletic scholarships fin
ish their college education, and
many have gone on to become out
standing leaders in their fields of
endeavox - .”
Commissioner E. L. (Dick) Rom
ney of the Mountain States Sky
line Conference, commented:
“I doubt that the representatives
of many of our educational insti
tutions feel that our present rules
in respect fo aid to athletes, whicn
includes athletic scholarships, is
perfect and without weaknesses.
But the program does include many
favorable features, and should be
in effect until something better is
offered. It is above board and
leaves no doubt in the student ath
lete’s mind as to what he may ex
pect.”
INTRAMURALS
Class B Intramural handball win
ner for 1959 is A Infantry. The
unit took two out of three games
from A Quartermaster last night
to cinch the title.
Teams of Miers and Rowden,
Paul and Schepps took their games
with Walton and Gabriel, Gardner
and McGaughty in that order'. The
Infantry team of Monteer and
Moreland lost the final game to
Lewis and Brothers of Quartermas
ter, but the other two were in the
bag.
The gi'ound-pounder crew took
on Squadron 9 in the quarter finals
and A Composite in the semifinals
on their way to the crown.
Before dropping the last game,
the ’Masters had downed Squadron
6 to give them a place in the quar
terfinals. There they had dropped
Squadron 18, giving them the fi
nals position.
This is the last of the sports
that were started in the fall.
