AILYIBLE
by pros holmes, sports co-editor
THE ANSWER to the age-old female cry, "We want to play with
the varsity athletes"-meaning of course they desire that girls be
allowed to compete in intercollegiate athletics-seems to have been
found in what appears to be a very favorable and practical solution.
There is a petition before the Board in Control of Intercollegiate
Athletics requesting that another team be added to the list of varsity
sports.
The new sport, or rather the would-be new VARSITY sport,
has .been referred to in the petition as "necking." This sport, of.
course, is not new, it has already established itself firmly among
sports' lovers in America.
That is one of the reasons why there is a strong feeling that this
petition will receive the approval of the BCIA. A long training period,
expensive equipment, a large coaching staff, difficulty in making up,
a schedule, and the other similar problems which usually plague a
varsity sport also would seem to be nonexistent in this activity.
STILL ANOTHER favorable feature about the Necking team is that
it would give an equal opportunity to every person, regardless of
height, weight, or muscle power. The team would also, of course,
provide athletic diversion for twice as many people as does the
ordinary varsity sport, since both men and women would be included.
Anticipating the BCIA'c unanimous approval of this petition,
scouts were making the rounds of local practice fields over J-Hop
weekend. Chief Scout, Pucker-up McCoy, was bursting with
enthusiasm over the prospects he had seen around the campus.
"Some of those girls," he cried, wiping the lipstick from his
forehead, "could take care of anything any other school has to offer.
I'm limp. Why if we could get some of them to work on Army's
football team next fall that game ud be a pushover for us."
OTHER REPORTS were just as favorable and enthusiastic. One
young lass, taking advantage of the opportunity to do some scout-
ing on her own, could only stare glassy-eyed into space and sigh,
"field hockey was never like this!"
Everything seems ready to go. The talent is plentiful. Equipment
Is available: local merchants report that they have well over 5000
tubes of lipstick and nearly twice that many cartons of Kleenex, with
more on the way. Practice fields, though poorly lighted in many cases,
appear to be adequate, and the Athletic Office has been flooded with
requests to schedule the team. All that's holding things up in the
official sanction by the BCIA and the appointment of the coach.
Great Sporting Event Ends

Records Full
As ManyMae
By VAN DUZER
The greatest sporting event of
the half-century took place last
weekend.
It completely overshadowed such
feats as Michigan's 33-1 hockey
victory over Michigan Tech, Fon-
ley Chuckville's shot-put heave of
61' 12", and the basketball team's
rout of Purdue 29-26.
* * *
THE SCENE of this event, log-
ically enough, was the Sports'
Building, and was of such scope
that it required two nights to han-
dle the contestants.
More than 4000 sports en-
thusiasts participated in the
gala spectacle, and as a con-
sequence the results are not yet
tabulated.
Early calculations would seem
to indicate that a number of rec-
ords, (or was it record numbers),
had been set and many others
made or topped, This assumption
was strictly unofficial, however, as
The Daily went to press. Official
sanction of these marks is not
anticipated, but The Daily will
pass on any relevant statistics as
soon as they are received.

NEW YORK-A&P-A poll of
big league managers and execu-
tives taken by the Coldwater
Chronicle indicates there is a bet-'
ter than even chance for the legal[
revival of spitball pitching in the
Majors this year.-
Those in favor claimed it would
end arguments over whether pit-'
chers are using spitters despite
the ban. Opponents maintained it
would hamper hitters, who need
help as it is, but the idea was!
oooh-poohed.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - A&P -
Frank Leahy, Notre Dame foot-

his team would be "lucky to win
one game this season. We lose
23 men from the 1949 squad in-

WASHINGTON- A&P -Amer-
ica's universities were told today
to "get out of big time collegiate
football" if they can't comply with
the "sanity code." President Karl
E. Leib of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association said, in an
interview, that many schools are
"under the mistaken impression
they must have a big time foot-3
ball team."
"The failure of any school to
meet the code's requirements can
be laid directly at the university
president's door because in reality+
he alone is responsible," Leib con-+
tinued.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - A&P -
Pres. Felix Ruthwhen of the Uni-
