HCAA PLACES OKLAHOMA OH
FOR TOO YEARS; CINCINNATI
Chicago (U.R) The university
of Oklahoma, one of the nation's
football giants, was on two years
probation today .as the National
Collegiate Athletic association
handed out some of the stiffest
infraction penalties on record.
The University of Cincinnati
was handed a one-year suspen
sion but that included a ban on
Its team participating in nation
al championships.
Three other smaller universi
ties were reprimanded by the
NCAA.
Oklahoma was accused of of
fering prospective student-athletes
"cost free education" after
their eligibity had expired, of
paying medical expenses for
wives and children of athletes
and with providing other fringe
benefits, in the form of cash,
clothes and even the cost of a
rented automobile.
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.
Bethune-Cookman College and
Virginia Urrion were penalized
for playing in the Tropical Bowl
football game at Jacksonville,

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.
Ted Edmunds of Yakima, a
19-game winner in the WIL last
year, got off on the right foot
as he pitched Yakima to a 5-4
verdict over Wenatchee in Yaki
ma's home opener.' 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-;

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.
The 30-year-old Larsen of San
Leandro; Calif., who resigned as
U S. champion in 1950, was tem
porarily suspended by the U.S.
Lawn Tennis Association on
Monday because of reports
reaching the United States that

at a ball boy during a tourna
ment last week in Genoa.
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.

In Tourney Bid
Pinehurst, N.C. (U.R) Dick

pionships but never the North

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. To
day the Pinehurst star was
matched against Pat Foy Brady
of Reidsville, N.C.

If Cleveland's mother pitchers

brilliance of Bob Lemon, the
Indians not only would be a
good bet to win the pennant
again but they might top their
record 1954 total of 111 vic
tories. .
Lemon , with four straight
victories, is off to the finest
start of his 10-year pitching ca
reer with the Indians, ut unless
some of their other heralded
hurlers get in the groove shortly,
there may be trouble ahead.

Black Tornado whipped Ashland
6 to 1 yesterday in a Southern
Oregon Conference and district
baseball fracas at Ashland.
The win put Medford even
with Grants Pass in conference
standings. Each is unbeaten in
four games. Medford will be out
to pull ahead of GP in the games
won column Thursday when it
has its fourth and final brush in
the circuit with Ashland. The
scuffle will be on the Tornado's
diamond at 3:30 p.m.
Medford got its runs in the
second, fourth, fifth and sev
enth stanzas and the Grizzlies
picked up their lone tally in the
concluding frame.
For a singleton in the second
panel for Medford, Paul Eckel
and Larry Gober got on base on
errors and Jim Owsley walked.
Then Ed McCuliough brought
Eckel home with a squeeze bunt.
McCuliough also batted in a lone
marker in the fourth inning.
After Gober singled and Owsley
walked, Terry King advanced
them with a sacrifice. Gober
raced home after the catch of
McCullough's long fly.
In the fifth stanza, Frank Rec
tor, who has just joined the
squad, got a base on balls and
stole second. Dick McLaughlin
got on base on an error. He at
tempted to swipe second and was
caught but the play enabled Rec
tor to tally. Loren Jacobs then
singled. He went to second base
when Pitcher Mark Fitch threw
past first base on a pick-off try.
Eckel hit safely to score Jacobs.
For the final two runs in the
seventh for the Tornado, Jacobs
walked, Eckel tripled to left
field and Gober smacked a line
single to the left pasture.
For Ashland in the seventh,
Jack Eberhart singled and moved
ahead on Lance Locke's ground
out. Jack Lake got on base on an
error on which Eberhart scored.
McCuliough, pitching for Med

walk a man but was charged
with one wild pitch. He whiffed
