Amateur rules take blast from Kell

“If every illegal sex act was
policed properly, 75 per cent of
the population would be in jail.
The same goes for amateurs.
There are very, very few real
amateurs left in any sport.”
Kelly is formulating a plan to
prevent a major defection of ath
letes from the AAU. One way,
he says, “is by realizing that our
amateur rules are archaic.”
He admits he’s heard that
many track and field stars may
leave the AAU after this year’s
Olympic Games. He knows they
are frustrated by what Kelly
calls “the old guard” of the AAU
and he understands their feelings
because he was an amateur row
ing champion years ago.
“I’m working on a manifesto
for athletes,” he says, “and I
hope to get a lot of signatures
on it from the athletes.
“Is a college athlete, who gets
a scholarship worth thousands of
dollars, a pro? Is a track coach
a pro? And what if that track
coach is classified by his school
as a ‘teacher’? Now we’re just
talking semantics.”
Kelly, himself, violated the
rules of amateurism in 1947
after winning the Henley Re
gatta.
“They presented me with a
solid silver replica of my racing
shell. It was worth at least $1,-
500 but I didn’t hock it or melt
it down so it wasn’t really worth
that much in cash. But techni
cally, from that day on, I was a
pro,” he said.
Kelly says many of the AAU’s
old guard—“and a lot of them
aren’t really old, they just think
that way” may change their
minds soon. Kelly urges athletes
not to bolt his organization.

SMU’s Red and Blue Game
scheduled for Saturday night
SMU will hold its final spring
scrimmage, the annual Red and
Blue Game Saturday, in Texas
Stadium. It will begin at 7:30
p.m. and will be played under
regular game conditions.
Coach Hayden Fry will pit his
number one unit against the
number two’s with the remainder
of the squad to be divided
equally.
“I have been pleased with the
spring so far,” Fry said. “I am
especially happy about our de
fense. We should have a strong
defense in 1972 but our offense
will have to improve since we
have so many young players.
“Our main concern is the depth
in the offensive line and the
quarterback position, where we
have four untested players fight
ing for a starting spot. We have
good battles going on at tight
end, center, runningback and
quarterback. But all these, ex
cept runningback, involve play
ers who don’t have much game
experience. Overall, I have to be
optimistic.”
Two top players, Robert Po-
pelka and Avin Maxson, have al
ready been picked on the pre-
season All-America team by
Gridiron, a national football pub
lication.
Popelka, a second team All-
America pick last season is
named on the first team. Max-
son, who led the league in rush
ing last season as a sophomore,
was named on the second unit.

Confused about the Governor's race? More than
a score of major newspapers across the state
have endorsed Ben Barnes for Governor. These
newspapers have the capability to analyze what
is going on, and to separate campaign claims
from fact. Here, in part, is what just a few of them
have to say:
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“Mr. Barnes epitomizes the emerging Texas. He
knows whence we have come and whither we
must go, and-he is better qualified than any other
candidate to lead us in the proper direction.”
san angelo Standard-Times
“The taint of scandal is on Texas Government —
but that taint does not extend to the Lieutenant
Governor. . . despite the fact that he has probably
been, investigated by political opponents more
closely than any other Texas official. Of all the
candidates, he seems uniquely equipped to give
Texas the superlative leadership the time
demands . . .”
HOUSTON CHRONICLE
“Ben Barnes repeatedly has sought legislative
reforms. He is a man who can bring dignity and
effectiveness to the Governor’s office and credit
to the State of Texas.”
Cfje &Mene importer
“One stands out among them all as the best quali
fied and best suited for these times. Ben Barnes
can bring Texas toward a new day in the future
that can be as bright and distinguished as the
present is discouraging and disheartening.”

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
THE DAUAS TIMES HER4LD
“Lt. Governor Ben Barnes has amply proved his
leadership qualities and capabilities, forged in the
crucible of legislative fire. He has the knowledge,
the experience and the ability to lead Texas out
of the dismal morass of scandals and petty
bickering in which it now finds itself.”
Dallas piormirg
“Ben Barnes, more than any other candidate,
has the youth, the vigor, the talent and knowledge-
ability to lead the state in the critical 1970s. He
is not a status quo man. He dreams and builds
for a better Texas.”
THESE NEWSPAPERS HAVE THOROUGHLY INVESTI
GATED AND CONSIDERED ALL THE CANDIDATES.
