NCAA convention grants freshmen four years of eligibility
The 1968 NCAA session ended with freshmen allowed to compete at varsity level in all sports except football and basketball, granting four years of eligibility. Eastern schools won a modified academic rule, and James H. Weaver of the ACC was elected to the NCAA executive committee. The council also allowed Olympic participation without penalties and clarified the rule applies to the current 1967-68 freshman class. John Pont named major college coach of the year. Cecil Moore named small college coach of the year.

Red Carpet Treatment For New Lion Coach
NEW YORK UP I franking Navarro has won his first battle at Columbia University. Navarro accepted the post of head coach of football at Columbia on a three year contract with a formal pact, the first such offer in the century of Lions teams. He may choose up to six assistants and will have greater leeway in recruiting athletes. Navarro, 37, formerly Williams College head coach, averaged 28-11-1 in five years at Williams, including 7-0-1 last season. He succeeds Aldo Donielli, who resigned after 11 years.

Attitash Ski Area in Bartlett New Hampshire limits weekend skiers to 450, issuing numbered cards for reservations. Midweek skiing requires no reservation. The program, started three years ago, aims to prevent crowding and shorten lift lines, while expanding to add trails and lifts. The resort plans a 7,000 foot monorail and more double chair lifts as part of a larger expansion. The North Slope location runs from before Thanksgiving to late April with a long season.
