Weems Baskin
Baskin
to referee
NCAA meet
Weems 0. Baskin, Jr., ad
ministrative assistant to the
director of athletics at USC and
former Gamecock head track
coach, has been named referee of
track events for the 1971 NCAA
'Track and Field Championships
scheduled for June 17-19 in Seattle,
Wash.
The selection of Baskin, a former
president of the National
Collegiare Track Coaches
Association, was announced by
Joseph L. Kearney, director of
sports programs at the University
of Washington, host institution for
the 1971 NCAA meet.
"We feel that Weems is highly
qualified to act as referee of track
events. It is an important function
in the overall success of the meet,"
Kearney said.
Paul Dietzel, Carolina director
of athletics said "we are very
honored" by the selection of
Baskin. who retired from active
-coaching in 1969 after a career
spanning more than 40 years. In 20
seasons at USC, Baskin's* teams
compiled 90 wins against only 47
losses in dual meet competition.
He is a member of the Helms
Hall of Fame for Track and Field
and a former chairman of the
NCAA track and field rules
committee.
A native of Carrolton, Ga.,
Baskin is a 1927 graduate of
Aithurn University where he was
NCAA high hurdles champion his
senior year. He was national AAUJ
indoor hurdles champion in 1928
and ra~n for the New York Athletic
Club for two years. A knee injury
prevented him from qualifying for
the 1 9221 Olympic games but he was
chosen as an alternate and ac
companied the U. S. Team to
Amsterdam.
Haskin was instrumental in the
founding of the NCAA indoor meet,
run each winter in Detroit, and is
also the founder of the Carolina
-State-Record Relays, for the last
nine years run at Carolina the first
Saturday in April.
The USC all-weather track is
named the Weems Baskin Track in
his honor.

rhe Memphis GM then sighted the ruling by Judge
Ferguson that left no college player unprotected. ""After
the ruling that the four year rule was Invalid, our league
took this ruling,, right or wrong,. as the law of the land, be it
valid or invalid. After Judge Ferguson's decision, we felt
the signing was perfectly legal."t
Although Cavagnaro has exercised his right in signing
Neumann, he nevertheless feels that if such practices
continue, the game may meet a sudden death. "This sort of
thing is definitely not favorable. It will ruin the spawning
grounds for athletes in all professional sports."'
It is become increasingly obvious that perhaps the only
way to reach a workable solution for the two leagues to
merge. "Had the two leagues been together, we definitely
would not have proceeded in this manner," he revealed.
rhen, Cavagnaro followed with a comment that exem
plifies the feelings among the three organizations.
"Im tired of this 'holler than thou' attitude that the
NCAA and the N BA are taking. What nobody knows is that
Johnny Neumann received two firm offers from the NBA.
He got himself legal council, and that makes him a pro.
Naturally, the whole thing is being called another
renegade trick by the ABA.
"'Let's look at this in terms of dollars and cents. It's
cheaper for us to have a boy sign and play on scholarship
at college. And then the NCAA says tht their playe have
never received any extra payments. The NCAA wants to

rhis problem seems to have been present since the in
ception of the ABA. Recall that it all started three or four
years ago when the Denver Rockets grabbed Spencer
Haywood, the Olympic star and All-America from college.
So how does the originator look at the situation? Though
Alex Hannaum was not the Rocket GM at that time, he can
otter some interesting insight.
"When Spencer Haywood signed with the Rockets, the
