Colleagues in the teaching industry, who often have tagged coaches and athletes mental midgets, are apt to find a discipline anchor in athletics which will the besieged campuses. It is natural that violent forces exploit athletics. This is an area where they can get the most j notoriety. It is reasonable to suppose, too, that administrators and instructors can find their strongest campus ally in athletics. There Is one basic factor involved. Administrators must support coaches. Because, the only way a coach survives is through discipline. The only way an individual athlete excels is The only way a team excels through is through collective discipline. Take the right to demand discipline away from a coach and he may as well fold his tent and steal away into the night. He cannot produce an individual or team winner without discipline. Support a coach in his quest for discipline and he caiv help return law and order to our campuses. boro to get some extra homework for the 69 tournament which begins Thursday.

(UPI) Arnold Palmer didnt want his army to get the idea that he might be a bit more concerned than lfsual about this years Masters, he should have done a better job of disguising it.

While Lew Alcindor was the automatic first pick by the Milwaukee Bucks, the Phoenix Suns had to debate a while before finally deciding Neal Walk to select of Florida as the second pick. Walk is not a cinch to become a star in the NBA, but the Suns figure he is the best big man available with Alcindor gone and decided to gamble on him. Walk was the nations fourth leading rebounder and averaged 24 points a game. A former Alcindor teammate, Lucius Allen, was the third pick by the Seattle SuperSonics. Allen played on two national title teams at UCLA with Alcindor but opener. dropped out of school last season.

Violence, though, is the wrong tool. Our youth is going through sort of a revolution. But it has happened before in this country. Part of the generation gap is caused from adult refusal to adjust . . . refusal to communicate on any but adult terms. Much of the problem, however, has arisen because parents and educators have forgotten too much about the thing which makes athletics tick discipline. are Toddys students, and student-athletemore independent a little more rebellious . . . I suppose a little more sophisticated . . . and much better educated. That calls for certain adjustments. , ... s, But just like the youth of yesterday, they want to know how far they can go. Theyll go as far as they are permitted. And, deep in their hearts, most of them want to be told when they must stop. By VITO STELLINO UPI Sports Writer Ted Williams opened baselongest season finally by tipping his hat and now the balls question is whether he can go through a whole season of watching the Washington Senators play without flipping his lid. Williams, whose refusal to tip his hat to the fans was a symbol of his stormy but splendid career with the Boston Red Sox, acknowledged the cheers of the Washington crowd in the traditional e ceremonies of the President Richard M. Nixon makes pitching debut in This is where a student-athlet- e has an advantage over other students. He is told where to stop. his poor It may be his personal appearance or his campus behavior. But study habits eventually, most coaches will say: Its time for you to conform to those principles which give our squad a proper image. Like Wyoming football coach Lloyd Eaton says: We expect to apply some discipline to freshmen and sophomores. But by the time they get to be upperclassmen we expect them to conform comThere is no room on our pletely by squad for a young man who cannot apply by time he is a junior. More from Eaton: America is known as a melting pot We have all types and kinds of people. At no time can we as Americans say we are not going to deal with other Americans because their philosophies or thinking differs from ours. If we cant learn this in school, where are we going to learn it? ... ... self-discipli- ne Last Discipline Fortress the Washington fans to root for except Frank Howards Presidential opener by tipping his hat. istrators. homrookies, hit ers in the third to boost the and two Washinglead to ton errors let in four unearned runs in the fourth. back-to-bac- k 0 That opener and the tradiLeague opener where the sec- Mel Stottlemyre wp, all the way for the Yanks AD;galn the win even though he wasnt too effective and Was tagged for 14 hits. baseball Reds lost to the kicked off the first major league season of 24 teams and four divisions.

The Atlanta Braves had their home opener and rallied for two runs in the ninth to beat the San Francisco Giants 5-- The rest of the clubs join the action today with five games in each league including the first game for Montreal at New York, San Diego hosting Houston, Seattle at California and Kansas City hosting Minnesota. Coach L&Dell Andersen of Utah State: We must prepare for the future in light of hasty, wrong decisions made in the past when militant movements caught so many by surprise. It is easy to say, now, they were wrong decisions. Under the same circumstances, though, we might have reacted the same way. Important thing, now, is that we profit by mistakes . . . meet problems with judicious logic and firm resolution . . . and support each other as coaches and administrators. 1 Coach Chuck Mills of Utah State: sWe, as coaches, often see a young man in a more honest light than his family, his advisors or academic instructors. We demand discipline, but try not to be unyielding. In football, setbacks and successes are faced week to week; day to day; hour to hour, play to piay. Many people in our educational system tend to overlook, or belittle, fact that athletics is a practical application to test qualities of loyally, dedication and commitment of the individual. I think the day approaches when educators will view athetics, not as extracurricular, but conjunctive to education.
