BIG TEN TO GETPROPOSAL | ON ATHLETICS | Badgers Want ‘Open Sub- sidies” — Scholar- ship Advanced MADISON, Wis., Dec. 5—Formed | approval of an athletic scholarship an, described by its author, Prof. Robert L. Reynolds, as “open sub- ation of college and university athletes,” is to be discussed by the stern conference faculty com- ber 5. D*usum to solicit the Big Ten recognition came after the Uni- versity of Wisconsin faculty ap- proved the plan “in principle” and authorized Dr. Glenn Frank, presi- dent of the university, to prepare for its inauguration. Professor Reynolds and a fac- ulty committee of nine sponsor the plan as one “giving athletes equal- ity of educational opportunity.” The plan consists of these two main propositions: 1. Establishment of -n “in- ; stitute” providing a free week course in the studies and sports of the university, ad- mitting high school graduates whose scholastic and athletic records are outstanding. 2. Selection of candidates for 4-year scholarships at the close of the institute session late each summer. Institute di- rectors would grade the stu- dents on their showing in stud- ies and sports. The tentative plan is to grant each winner of a scholarship $400 a year with the requirement that he re-establish his standing at the end of two years through main- tenance of a scholastic average better than 15 grade points per credit during these freshmen and sophomore years. Candidates wrmld G- not be obliged to enter into any,| athletic activity during these two years. Professor Reynolds estimates that about 100 Wisconsin high or pre- | paratory school graduates would be admitted to the first institute He says scholarship and adminis-| trative funds would be subseribed by school and other friends of the university would collect and super- vise disbursement of the money. “We hope that the Big Ten committee will join us in a frank discussion of this problem and that our proposal for open sub- sidization of college and uni- versity athletes will be recog- nized as justifiable and sound.” Professor Reyonlds says. Wisconsin University athletic of- ficials, headed by Director Has A. Stuhldreher, disclaim any cu-d- it for criginattng the proposal, | but Stuhldreher, Dr. chairman of the athletic council and others have agreed with the faculty in approving its purp(w‘\; The gist of the plan: has been known for some time, but there been little comment regarding it from Big Ten concerefence schools.| ber meeting.
