Tuei., June 13, 1950 Secret Ideas For Financial Aid To Athletes Due At PCC Meeting By JACK HEW1NS VICTORIA, B. C, June li-tP) At least two ideas on a new pro gram for financial aid to athletes both secret were ready for presen tation at today's meeting of the Tacific Coast conference. Neither sponsor would disclose the details of his plan, but it was known that Leo Harris, Oregon athletic director, was ready with one he considered "workable and enforceable." The other was to be presented by conference President H. P. Everest of Washington. One suggested an amendment to the conference code which has found considerable support. It would permit a maximum yearly sum for athletes rather than a monthly limit. Under this plan a youth would not have to work at a campus job while his sport is in season. TV Problem Present The problem of television con tinued to bob up in lobby conver sation, but delegates said it had not yet been discussed in meet ings. However, it began to appear that member schools are unlikely to present a united front against R-V. One school representative said it was evident that television has "arrived," and that It is advisable to work out some program satis factory to the colleges, fans and WE'RE NUTS . . . about our customers, we baby their cars, make sure to lubricate everything real careful . . .we're just nuts about (jiving you top notch service. Be a customer, won't you? ROGERS SHELL SERVICE on Melrose Rood ot South entrance to Veterans Hospital. industry. Another said television deserves its chance just as radio had its opportunity to prove its value. It was doubtful, however, that any decision would be reached be fore Wednesday's final session. Also hanging fire is PCC policy on its Kose Bowl pact with the Big Ten, which may never be disclosed at this meeting. It may be saved for the conference com mittee's confab June 21 with the Big Ten committee at Madison, Wis. The date and site of the dis cussions were confirmed yesterday. Hoop Playoff Agreed The conference agreed yesterday to a proposal by the NCAA for establishment of an eight-team western regional basketball play off. Six conferences, the Pacific Coast among them, would send champions. Two other teams would come from among the western non conference schools. It was felt among the delegates, informally, that this all but assured a tourney berth to one of the strong San Fran cisco Bay area independents. The conference turned down the applications of three athletes for relaxation of eligibility rules but upheld the pleas of four others. Footballer George Morgan of UCLA, basketball player George Key of Idaho and crewman Wilbur Lowe of Washington sought and lost waiver of the transfer rule in their cases. More successful in the same quest were Robert Wilkie, Oregon trackman; Robert L. Baham, Cali fornia footballer; Frank Gifford, USC football player; and John T. Lewis of California. Basketball referees had their pay raised $10 a game for regular con ference and intersectional tilts, making it $50. The Tidewater Associated Oil company again obtained (he broad cast rights for conference football and basketball games. -INSURANCE-AUTO LIFE AUTO FIRE State Farm Mutual Insurance 0. L "e S. C.

Mel Krause May Appear On Mound By CHUCK McDONALD The contest should be one of the best baseball performances that Roseburg fans will see on the home diamond this season. The Eugene club is loaded with talent from the University of Oregon varsity base ball team, supplemented by other outstanding players from the Eu gene area. Krause Expected Two familiar faces to Roseburg baseball fans should be on hand when the Eugene club faces the un defeated Chiefs. The Chiefs' 1949 star pitcher, Mel Krause, is ex pected to be on hand for the game. Krause has signed to pitch for the Eugene club in the state semi-pro tournament but it is not known if he will be with the Millers for the Wednesday night game. Another old name to appear on the Eugene club's roster is Ted Wilson. Wilson played with the Chiefs in 1949. He is a former Cascade league player and now coaches at La Grande. Wilson also helps Don Kirsch with the coach ing chores of the Eugene team. Kirich Formed Turn The Eugene lineup is strong in some positions and weak in others. Kirsch, the well - known baseball coach at the University of Oregon, formed the team with the idea of giving his college players addition al experience in semi-pro compe tition. All players with the excep tion of Wilson and Kirsch will play for the Ducks next spring. The Eugene club's infield is com posed of Phil Settecase on first, Kirsch on second, Ray Coley, short stop, and Nick Schmer on third. Settecase is said to be a good field er but weak hitter. Kirsch plays almost flawless ball at second and is a heavy hitter. He is also very fast on the bases and stole three bases in a recent game with Bend. Coley works well with Kirsch at shortstop but is a weak hitter. Schmer is a reserve infielder from the Duck varsity and an excellent hitter. Outfielders Named In the outfield, Kirsch will Mart Jim Livesay in left field, Wilson in center field and Dick Salter in right field. Livesay and Wilson are ter rific hitters as well as good out fielders. Jack Smith, a letterman at the Duck institution, will start in the catcher's spot. Smith is a fair hit ter and plays smart ball behind the plate.. Kirsch will bring three and pos sibly four, pitchers for the Rose burg game. Big DeWayne "Swede Johnson will probably draw the starting assignment on the hill it Krause doesn't make the trip. Johnson is probably better known for his football ability than his baseball playing. Johnson played four years of football at the uni versity, including the Cotton Bowl game of 1949. Pitched Shutout Johnson's big claim to fame as a pitcher was a shutout victory over the University of Idaho in the spring of 1948. Johnson has always been a little wild but has an ex cellent curve ball. , Curt Barclay is the second pitch er on the team. Barclay played freshman ball at the Duck institu tion this spring but Kirsch hopes to make him the Wcbfoots' number one or two hurler next spring. Don Seigmund rounds out the Eugene pitching staff. Seigmund is a veteran of Eugene high school's runnerup team for state honors this year. He is lefthanded and an ex cellent hitter. Earl Sargent, the Chiefs mana ger, is fearful of the Eugene club and has named Bus Sporer to start on the hill for the Chiefs. Sporer has four straight wins this season. Johnny Wyrostek of the Cincin nati Reds led the American asso ciation in hatting with a mark of .358 in 1944. 6 AMS0ePe' III 1 M V I, ?

C, June 13 (Pi ll win De Stanford first and Idaho last in the Pacific Coast conference football race next fall. That's the belief of conference coaches as expressed in a poll tak en yesterday at the conference meeting. The Indians garnered four first place votes and finished with 67 of 72 possible points. USC and Cali fornia each cornered two first place ballots with the Trojans pick ing up 62 points and California 60. After that it was Washington, UCLA, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State and Idaho. At least that's what they said. Maxim-Robinson Tiff Tentatively Slated CHICAGO, June 3 (.VU- Light heavyweight champion Joey Max im and welterweight king Ray Rob inson may get together in a title bout if money matters and clear ance can be worked out. Ted Brenner, former matchmak er for the International Boxing club's St. Nicholas arena in New York, has offered Maxim $25,000 to defend his crown dr the privi lege of 40 percent of the net gate. The bout may be staged either in Brooklyn's Ebbcts field or in Jer sey City's Roesevelt stadium. Yankees Show More Respect To Tiger Club By JACK HAND 'Associated Pres. SporLwriltrl Seriously disturbed by Detroit's solid strength, the New York Yan kees remained hopeful today of making a major deal before the Thursday midnight deadline. The world champions have more respect than ever for the Tigers after watching them bounce back from two Yankee stadium defeats to win the finale and. then sweep three straight at Boston. Many of the Yanks now regard the Tigers instead of the Red Sox as "the team to beat." Boston lost plenty of prestige by dropping four in a row after rolling up that 28- 4 record scord on St'. Louis last week. Pitching is the big Yankee pro blem. It's the same story in Bos ton. The difference is that New York owns excess talent that could. help other clubs. Stirnwtiss Included In that category go second base man George Stirnweiss, catcher Ralph Houk or Gus Niarhos. pitch er Don Johnson and an outfielder. The Yankee pitching situation is desperate. Johnson, sidelined by a skjn ailment, remained in New York when the club headed west. That left Casey Stengel with seven pitchers, including Joe Page ana Duane Pillette. The latter just re called from Kansas City. Page, troubled by a sinus condition,- has pitched only one inning since June 3. A look at the June records em phasizes Detroit's sizzling pace. Although they still trail tne Yanks bv a half game in the won and lost columns they're out front by ,002 in percentage point. Since they left Briggs stadium, the Tigers have won 10 and lost two. It is well known that Detroit is a superior road team. Now they dig in at home for 16 games, start ing with three against the Phil adelphia A's. ' Sox To Cleveland The Red Sox. wmning only six of 11 at Fenway park against the west, ventures into the badlands where they have failed so miser ably in the past, f irst slop lor the Sox, now a fading third, is Cleveland. Then comes Detroit. The Yanks break in easy with three at Chicago and four at St. Louis before riding into Cleveland and Detroit r- ' eir 13-game jaunt. Thay took 8 3 at the stadium against the rn teams. Despite the telephone number scores at Boston, the St. Louis Browns won 7 of 12 in the east. Now they open at home against Washington. With Branch Rickey still scout ing the circuit for pitching help, Brooklyn comes home to play 16 games at Ebbets field, trailing St. Louis by two full games. .Eddie Dyer's Cardinals piled up an 8-3 record at Sportsman's park. Now they face a long tough 17 game road trip, opening in Phil adelphia tonight. The New York Giants were the sensations of the league until they hit St. Louis and dropped a three game series. Now they come home to the Polo grounds where they have played poorly all season, to open against Pittsburgh. In the west, Leo Durocher's boys stepped Despite a better-than-,500 record of 5-4 in the west, the Philadelphia Phils lost ground in the race. They went away second by lVi games and came home third by 2W. First team in is St. Louis. Chicago righted itself above the .500 mark after a dip below dur ing the Giant series an'1 now is lied for fourth place. The Cubs are the real surprises of the lea gue, only six games off tne pact. Brooklyn is their first stop. Boston got off to a terrific road start in Pittsburgh but tailcu off and came home tied for fourth with the Cubs after winning five and losing seven to the west. The Braves get a chance to recoup with Cincinnati leading the invas ion for three games. All games will be played under arcs tonight,-including a twilight night doubleheadcr at St. Louis. in the lowest price field!

Resident Near Wrigley Field Watches Home Runs Smash House Windows (By Th AiociUd praul Leo Billops has the misfortune of living in a two story white frame house that stands just beyond the left field wall of he Wrigley Field ballpark in Los Angeles. For the past 25 years, every home run king in the Pacific Coast league has left his mark onthe Billops domicile. And the real swat ters say you haven't arrived until you've hit the celebrated white house on 41st place. It's an apartment house. Four families live there. They never turn their backs toward the win dows, half a dozen or so of which are broken each season. A Baseball Fan Billops is a baseball fan as, of course, he'd have to be. "Yes. I go to the games now and then," he relates, "but it's pretty easy just to sit out here on the porch and see for free." And dodge base balls. "Why, one time Andy Pafko hit one through the upstairs window," Mr. Billops recalls, "and do you know what that ball did? It sailed right into bed with a man who was sleeping at the time. Yes sir, right into bed with the man." The Angels come back home to night to do battle with the resur gent Seattle Rainiers.

Yet no matter who busts the windows, the Angels have to pay at $5 per pane, yuiie a bite wnen the other side is doing the (lug ging. Elsewhere around the circuit, the league leading Hollywood stars move in on last place Sacramento and the slumping San Diego Padres entertain third place Oakland. Hol lywood now leads San Diego by a fat five games following their ser ies last week in which the Padres dropped all but one contest. Fourth place Portland invades San Francisco in the other opener.
