involve the NCAA. What the legal outcome of both of these situations will be, no editor can pre dict. However, judging from the reaction of football fans during the last season, it seems safe to assume that most football fans prefer a broadened television program ming of gridiron contests. We have never been able to understand the objection to television of football games, both professional and amateur, in areas where the teams involved do not normally draw any considerable number of fans. For example, we can see no objection to the televising of the Pennsylvania-Army game in the South, Midwest and West. Nor can we see any logical objection to the televis ing of the Michigan State-Notre Dame game in the East, South, Southwest or Far West, likewise, we see no objection to the tele vising of the Georgia-Georgia Tech game anywhere in the Southeast. It is to be hoped that the televising of football will be broadened. The present limitations seem severe and certainly pre vent millions of fans from witnessing the best games of the year—fans who would not be able to watch the game from the stands under any circumstances.
