BILL CURRIE Mi I SB i v.y Mouth of the South SDS Vs. Sports Athletic brass hats across the spectrum of collegiate sports are bracing themselves for what they feel certain will be an all out assault on college athletics by militant students this fall. According to the schedule of national protests, sponsored by the Students for a Democratic Society, the time is now ripe for a rape at sports. The major projects of the SDS began with strikes and protests over the ages of non-academic employes of colleges and uni versities. Then came attacks on the curriculum and administra tions, the ROTC programs and industrial recruiting on campuses in behalf of American business manufacturing for the war effort in Vietnam. Now it is time to hit sports. It is expected that the militants will strike from two directions. First, they will attempt to convince the black athlete that he is being exploited, and should renounce any participation in intercollegiate athletics as an evidence of his disapproval of whatever it is popular to disapprove at the time it all hits. If black athletes are not readily convinced by persuasion, they will be coerced and threatened as they have been many times already. The threat of being ostracized in the militant black and ultra left wing white communities is a hard line for a black ball player trying to live in two worlds. But if this sort of social threat fails to move him then there may well be threats on his life and the lives of his family. These things have happened in the past. With so many talented black athletes participating in college sports, if their numbers could be turned against the programs it would be a serious challenge indeed. Second, the attack is expected to appeal to all students in that most college athletic programs are financed in part, at least, by student fees. It will be pointed out that in many cases students are not able to get tickets to certain events. Why then, it will be argued, not tear down the whole rotten, capitalistic system? Many sore heads will buy this, completely unwilling to face the economic facts of life as they relate to sports. It is also expected that there will be protest marches and de monstrations in an attempt to prevent many athletic contests, and if possible, complete revolt in the player ranks to eliminate the authority of the coach. Firm administrators who act like men instead of rabbits can stop all this before it starts--but they won’t, because there aren’t any of tha^tjrged wjio will believe what is about to happen.

'They have several talented boys this season who didn’t play for them last season. Their team is greatly improved over last year and I think they’re going to be in the thick of things this sea son.” Clinton banged out 18 hits and Newberry had 13 in the game which lasted three hours, 10 minutes. “Our pitching wasn’t up to par and we made too many mental errors in the field,” Owens said.

A notice ofthis change has been posted at each pool. If anyone has misplaced their card, new ones may be secured at the YMCA.
