Princeton's director of athletics last night minimized the importance of a recent attack on the Tigers' football policy made in the book "The Truth About Big Time Football" by Richard I. Miller.
Miller listed Princeton as one of the 18 colleges most deserving censure for hypocritical recruiting policies and financial support of athletes, according to an Associated Press review of the book. The AP quoted Miller as saying that these colleges "are dedicated to the single objective of winning."
Princeton was the only college in the northeast which came in for criticism by name in the book. Policies of other Ivy League schools were not specifically condemned.
Blames Associated Press
Kenneth Fairman, director of athletics at Princeton, laid the blame for the popular misunderstanding of the book's charge squarely on the Associated Press. He called the AP dispatch "middle of the week space filler."
