(AP Wire- photo) Experiment Stations Receive 3 Grants Totaling $6,189 BY HAROLD V. RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer The colleges now are embroiled in another argument with profes sional football over telecasting games on Friday nights and Sat urdays. The junior colleges and high schools also have been drawn into it. The reason the colleges are mak ing a pitch is because they know that if pro football is televised on Friday nights and Saturday after noon and night, it will cut deeply into their revenue; also will hurt the junior colleges and high schools. Some say most of the col leges will have to give up football. Pro football wants to televise in these periods on several premises. One is that the colleges haven’t any right to tell the people what television they are to receive and the people are entitled to see the pro football games on TV. The other is based on the claim that pro football needs the Friday and Saturday telecasts because in early season there is a conflict with baseball. It seems some pro clubs use baseball stadiums and it’s October before baseball gets out of the way. colleges: If pro football is so con cerned with giving the people what they want in television why is there a blackout locally, thus forc ing the fans to pay their way into the parks? Another question is: If pro foot ball has a conflict in the use of stadiums with baseball why doesn’t it build its own stadiums ? Pro football is prospering enough to have its own facilities. The story of the controversy is involved. Anyway, in 1961 pro football got a bill passed in con gress exempting it from the anti trust law as pertains to package television. In other words the pro clubs could band together and sell their television in a package. That’s what led to the staggering sums pro football now receives from TV. But the colleges weren’t in a shell. They said OK, if pro foot ball was to get this then they’d like to be protected against pro football television in the areas where college teams were playing. Thus it was decided that the law would prohibit package TV on Fri day nights and Saturdays. However, pro football could tele vise in those periods if it was an individual agreement — one club made a deal for itself. But since pro football wanted to televise under the package ar rangement, the colleges didn’t think there would be any desire for individual agreements. However, last fall there came an announcement that a sponsor had obtained to televise four or five pro games on Friday nights with individual agreements — these games outside the package deal for televising on Sunday. The National Football League said it had nothing to do with it but since it claimed that the NFL was bound to know about it be cause its own teams were involved and were planning to play league games on those Friday night dates. However, the colleges put up such a howl that the NFL an nounced it would not permit its clubs to carry out the project. There now is a bill in congress that would exempt professional sports—football, baseball, basket ball and hockey—from provisions of the anti-trust laws as applied to any contract, agreement, rule, course of conduct or other activity. In other words, there could be a common draft between the two professional leagues and the play er would have no choice of whom he was to play with or how much he was to receive. If he was draft ed by a certain club he would have to play with that club or not play at all. The colleges, who hadn’t thought to get the high schools and junior colleges in the ban against package television on Friday nights and Saturdays, jumped in with a re quest for an amendment to this bill that would prohibit pro sports from televising on Fridays and Saturdays even individually, which it can still do. And the high schools and junior colleges were included. The colleges and high schools think that if pro football is to be exempt from the anti-trust laws, then they should be protected against invasion of their field, es pecially since pro football has said it will televise on Fridays and Sat urdays under the individual agree ment plan. Young Farmers To Assemble Here About 300 members of the State Association of Young Farmers will gather here July 25 for their an nual field day.
