U. Athletes Would Bar Anti-Negro Teams New York, May 11.-(CNA). -The campaign to end Negro dis– crimination in the field of athletics received a forward push this week when the Undergraduate Board of Athletic Control of New York University adopted a resolution op– posing the formation of teams on any othe rbasis than that of ability. The move was understood to have been inspired by persistent demands of the student body to call off a football game scheduled for next season with the University of Mis– soun. The action against the Missouri– ans grew out of the refusal of that University to allow a Negro hurd– ler on the University of Wisconsin track team to participate in a re– cent match between the two schools. The resolution urged the N.Y. U. schedule-makers to take cogniz– anze of the opposing team's atti– tude on sports, and to "refuse to schedule matches with schools that do not have as their sole criterion for play, the ability of the individ– ual players." Commenting on the action taken by the Control Board, Lawrence Charry, a member of the body, de– clared: "If I, as a member of the Board, have anything to say, teams like Missouri would never appear on our schedules again." • • • • To the Shadow: I wasn't very much compliment– ed, but I can't get mad.
