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

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.

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.

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

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

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."
