General MacArthur ordered the ECAC to rescind its ban on college athletes competing in AAU meets. He said the ECAC action against AAU events violates a joint NCAA AAU agreement and should allow normal activities to resume. The dispute centers on the AAU championships in St. Louis June 12 and 22 used for U.S. team selection for Moscow.
