Controversy Over Umpire Call Divides Cubs Reds
In Chicago, Vern Benson disputed an umpire Stan Landes call on a fair ball in the fourth inning of the Cubs 4-3 win over Cincinnati. Ernie Banks contributed a homer and the deciding hit came with two strikes on Billy Williams.

Monday’s fights list Tomy Mamarelli versus Gobe Lo Marco in Atlantic City and nearby Newark bouts noted.

Financial Problems Seen In College Athletics
CHICAGO AP A national NCAA report warns of a developing financial crisis in college athletics. Marcus Plant of Michigan says new ways to finance expanding activities are needed as costs rise and facilities demand grows. The 10 year record shows strained finances with limited gate income and ceiling on ticket prices. Plant notes no immediate fixes but cites potential cost cutting like smaller squads and possible government or college revenue support. The survey will be sent to administrators and filed with Humphrey and Congress.
