Too Much Aid Cincinnati coaches were ac cused of offering aid exceeding that permitted by the university and NCAA rules. The NCAA also alleged that Cincinnati con ducted tryouts for players, that work at off-campus jobs pro vided athletics was not per formed. The University of Dayton, Bethune-Cookman College and Virginia Union University were reprimanded.

(International) Salem Licks Eugene 13-3 By UNITED PRESS The Northwest League, a new baseball circuit, opened play last night but some old, familiar names highlighted the evening's play. John Conant, veteran Western International league hurler, tossed four-hit ball as the Spo kane Indians topped Eewiston 51 at Lewiston. Conant also helped out with a run-scoring sacrifice fly and a one-run single in the eighth. At Salem, the Salem Senators had things easy in notching a 13-3 decision over Eugene. Dapper Homers Salem got two runs in the third without the benefit of a base hit and added seven more in the fourth on six walks and two errors. The Senators got three more in the sixth on two singles and two doubles and add ed a final marker in the eighth. Cliff Dapper, Eugene manager, homered in the fourth with the sacks empty.

The Bears got the eventual winning run in the fifth on two walks and a single after tallying four runs in the 'third. Jim Telfer Has ABC Second Spot Fort Wayne, Ind. (U.R) Jim Telfer, 19-year-old Wayne Uni versity student, went into second place in the all events standings in the American Bowling Con gress last night with a total of 1964 pins. i- Telfer's score is just 29 less than all-events leader Fred Bu jack, also of Detroit. - A squad of boosters and one open division squad also took to the lanes. A Pontiac, Mich., team, Sam Benson's, turned in the best effort, a 2,812 team effort. But the figure was far short of the 3,000 pins needed to crash the first ten. Meanwhile, Brad Lewis, Ash land, Ohio, last year's all-events champion, had to be content with a 1,746 all-events total. He rolled a series of 552, 576 and 618. Pfeiffer's Beer of Detroit con tinued as the team leader with a 3,136,total, a figure which prob ably will stand up for the dura-; tion of the tourney. FIRST RAIN.

University of Oklahoma Presi- .Tribune Art Larsen Says USLTA Too Hasty Florence, Italy (U.R) For mer U.S. tennis champion, Art Larson hoped today that his sus pension would be lifted in time to J el him play in the Rome ten nis championships, and hie re ceived strong backing from Ita lian tennis officials.

Larsen said the reports were "greatly exaggerated" and said he thought the USLTA acted "hastily" in suspending him be fore checking with the Itlaian Tennis Federation. Larsen's hope of quick rein statement was backed by Enrico Piccardi, secretary of the Italian Tennis federation, and by offi cials of the Genoa tournament. Chapman Geared In Tourney Bid Pinehurst, N.C. (U.R) Dick Chapman, who has won the U.S. and British amateur golf cham pionships but never the North and South tournament on his home course here, seemed geared for an all-out bid for the elusive title today as th tour ney entered its second round. The lanky Chapman played some of the best golf seen in Tuesday's first round of match play as he. ousted Frank Mea cham of Roanoke Rapids, N.C, 7 and 6. Chapman showed the keen ness of his game by firing a two-under-par 34 on the first nine, and then parring the next three holes to close out the match.

Hard snow flurries fell from the second throughout the fourth innings, helping the pitchers but making conditions tought for batters. The sky cleared for the last part of the game. Ernie Tyler or Duane Sides will be the Medford tosser to morrow afternoon. Gene Parent is the likely Ashland choice.
