Press Sports Writer The NCAA and National AAU are mixed irt a power fight. The NCA A wants to take over the direction, of amateur athletics and the A.A U, which has been handling it For 75 years, doesn’t want someboicly usurping its place in national axid world spoils. The main thing involved is stronger reptresentation for the NCAA, but it can’t get it, so the NCAA is organizing federations in track and 13 eld, basketball and gymnastics. Four times the two organizations have met in an attempt to straight en out their differences. All have failed. At first blush most people thought the NCAA would take over. But a closer look at the situation leaves one with the idea that the AAU will continue to be the power of amateur athletics. To understand the situation it needs to be pointed out that each country has an organization that furnishes athletes for the Olym pics, the Pan American Games and other regional spectacles. There are world federations for each sport carried on the schedule of the Olympics. But the overall controlling body is the Inteimational Olympic Com mittee of which Avery Brundage, that great apostle of amateurism, is president. Brundage was presi dent of the National AAU for sev en terms before becoming head of the Olympic committee. The International Amateur Ath letic Federation controls track and field. The other day this organiza tion said it would recognize only the AAU as the governing body for amateur athletics in the United States. The president of the In ternational Gymnastics Federation has taken the same course. All other federations are expected by the AAU to follow suit. Thus, the NCAA, which has brought colleges and high schools under its banner (except the NAIA of 460 small colleges) won’t have anywhere to send the athletes. There’s still another point that the NCAA now has to consider. In the past the AAU has done nothing about the athletic scholar ship business and the collegians, who were getting their keep and an education in exchange for their participation in athletics, were al lowed to participate. Rules Tightened But the rules of the Olympic Committee, promulgated for 1962, say these athletes no longer will be considered amateurs. This is looked upon by the leaders of am ateur sports as being paid to par ticipate. Thus, the NCAA couldn’t qualify for the job of being the amateur j sports body in the United Stsl unless it used only the collep; i Head-Knocking Starts Soon Passers-by around Kyle Field will begin to they begin workouts for the upcoming sea- see the 1962 Aggie football team in the son.

WOOD Special to The Battalion ‘‘Scientists know more technical information about outer space than they know about the earth on which they live,” a program di rector of the Mohole Project said this week. Dr. William Benson, Assistant Program Director for the Earth Sciences of the National Science Foundation, was the guest lecturer at the NSF summer lecture pro gram here on campus. His lecture was “Mohole Project, Phase I.” Mohole is a project co-sponsoi’ed by the National Academy of Sci ence and the National Science Foundation, to drill down to the layer of the ear-th which separates the mantle or intermediate layer from the outer or crust of the earth. Dr. Benson emphasized that the project was not a stunt by the oil industry, but that it was an all-out effort by scientists and engineers of this nation to learn more about the three dimensions of the earth. Only Theories Before Benson said that until 1956 only the vague ideas and theories of individual persons were known on how to study and reach the inner layer of the earth. It was at this time that the co-sponsoring organ izations decided to join with the ®il industiy and pool their efforts. Research people from all over the nation have given their ideas and time to make the Mohole Proj ect a success so far. Each problem in the operation has been a new one and in most cases turned out to be a project in itself. Since Mohole was something new and had never been tried before, almost all of the equipment used on the project was especially de signed for the problems which they might meet. Water Presents Problem Dr. Benson explained that the Mohole test drillings were made in 12,000-foot-deep water because the earth’s crust is the thinnest under the ocean. This made drill ing relatively easier and less ex pensive. Drilling in deep water for the first time thus far has been the basis for most of the problems that have confronted the project. Ben son explained how large outboard motors on the drilling ship kept it stationary over the hole while drilling was going on. He also explained how the main stresses and strains on the long string of free hanging drill pipe were relieved. Dr. Benson com pared the long string of rotating drill pipe to a piano wire stretched eight stories supported only at the top. Two major problems, re-entry in to a hole and heat increases, still remain to be solved. Progress Made Project Mohole has thus far given much information. Many previously questionable answers to certain problems have now been proven by the data gained from the project. Two outstanding an swers gained were in the history «nd evolution of the ocean basins, and hydrographic information of the Pacific Ocean. Future Mohole test drilling sites depend upon several things, Ben son explained. Heat coming from the center of region of the earth and the type of sediments, soft or hai’d, will make a big difference. The main Mohole will probably be drilled either in the area north of Puerto Rico or in an area east of the Hawaiian Islands. Early Start Wanted The starting date of the main Mohole drilling is hoped to be within the next two years, but the contract has just been let for the second phase; therefore, it might very well be three years, Benson said. Benson used color slides and mo vies to illustrate the techniques and problems which have con fronted the Mohole Project. Approximately 200 students, fac ulty members, and guests attended the lecture. BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES . tt per word F>ie day - .
