SPORTS NCAA Takes In Pioneers As Members The • ·c '-A has ~('C('pted the Un VC'r y of San Diego as an actl\ c rnemb~r. effective Sept. 1. it w a anrounced to- day by Fr. J Walshr Murray, SDU athletic di e<'lor. The school had been an as- sociate 1'1ember pending com- pletion of requirements for full membership. Father Mur. ray said the last hurdle the Pioneers had to overcome was the rPquirement that schools seeking membership must have completed five rears of rompetition with . -CAA schools. San Diego U. began com- peting in football in 1956. "Our athletic program i~ geared to the NCAA bylaws.' Father Murray said, "and we already have several NCAA schools on our sc1'edule so the full membership will not change ou program greatly. 'The • CAA permits us to start f o o t b a I I practice as much as l\\o weeks before srhool opens. The efore we will begin practice Aug. 28."
