NCAA Ponders Limited Football Telecasts; Crimson Unaffected

Telecasts of college football games moved one step nearer obscurity Tuesday with the announcement of an N.C.C.A. plan which would prohibit more than one video appearance per season for each school.

This plan--which must be approved by two-thirds of the N.C.A.A. membership--would probably have little effect here, even if adopted. Only one game--Dartmouth--was telecast last season.

According to the new scheme, one game would be telecast nationally each Saturday. The games would be distributed widely in respect to their points of origin.

Under the proposal, no college would be required to televise, and sponsors must be "organizations of high standards." This, the N.C.A.A. Television Committee said, "apparently excludes beer and liquor advertisers."
