HITS BIG TEN BAN Meek Says Games Will Suffer "SECOND-STRING" rank is predicted for Big Ten football, which "de-emphasized" its position in the sport by prohibiting telecasts, John S. Meek, president of John Meek Industries and Scott Radio Labs., charged in Chicago last week. After an analysis of the 1950 season's TV schedule, Mr. Meek said: "Now the Eastern and Southern schools which have been trying for years to get public attention from the Western Conference will find the job is easy. Millions of Americans every Saturday will watch these schools play and become fans, while relegating Big Ten games to reports on scoreboards." He also foresees talented high school football players gradually being attracted to "schools with the biggest public support, and the Big Ten will lose the supply of talent it has always gotten," he said. "The Big Ten will find that staying away from television will leave it farther behind the parade than it could ever be by having its games telecast. Its action in banning TV is like the towns that discouraged the automobile years ago — they suffered while the automobile's progress went on unabated." He concluded by saying: "Big Ten officials, like all of us, will learn that television is here to stay, and we must find the best ways to make use of it instead of trying to pretend it doesn't exist." Plan TV Outlet GIFFORD PHILLIPS, president of KGHF Pueblo, Col., and TV applicant at Denver, last week announced he has authorized the KGHF management to begin engineering studies in preparation for filing for a new TV station in that city.
