Comeuppance

Kentucky's burly Basketball Coach Adolph ("The Baron") Rupp, blistered by Manhattan's Judge Saul S. Streit in an expose of the evils of professionalized college sport (TIME, May 12), had another comeuppance last week. The National Collegiate Athletic Association, using Judge Streit's files, decided that Rupp had another comeuppance last week. The National Collegiate Athletic Association, using Judge Streit's files, decided that Rupp had 1) knowingly used ineligible players, and 2) condoned cash payments to his stars. Forthwith the N.C.A.A. cracked down, barred Kentucky's basketball team from intercollegiate N.C.A.A. play for one year. Kentucky accepted the ban, but had a sassy answer for the N.C.A.A.: a vote of confidence in Rupp, who stays on as Kentucky's coach.
