The Pa cific Coast Conference will hold a special meeting this summer to consider possible violations of its athletic code. H. P. Everest, of the Univer sity of Washington and PCC spokesman, said faculty repre sentatives had too many other topics. on their agenda to give the subject a complete airing at the annual spring meeting. They decided yesterday, be fore adjourning the spring meet ing, to take up the subject of vio lations at a special meeting to be held in San Francisco, prob ably in the next six weeks. Everest said there are some 60 possible violations of the code up for consideration. He said there will be no announcement of the findings until after the special session. Eligibility Restored ' In other actions yesterday, the PCC representatives restored eligibility to five athletes and named several standing commit tees to work on various matters. Duane Asplund, a 6 foot, 7 inch basketball center at Univer sity of California, was granted another year of eligibility. He played a total of six minutes in two pre-season games last year before being injured. The PCC also granted waivers on a year's eligibility to Charles' R. Butt, UC trackman; Don A. Dorland, University of Washington basketball player; Don Hickman, USC football player; and Fred Robinson, Washington football player.

Don Heivcombe Pitches, Bats Brooklynites to 6-2 Triumph By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Big Don Newcombe of Brook lyn has fallen into the most mis erable kind of rut imaginable he keeps winning games but los ing money. No one is hitting the huge, righthanded fastballer much on the mound these days but he sure is getting belted hard in the pocketbook. Take his six-hit 6-2 victory over Pittsburgh Thursday, for ex ample. Newcombe figured he had put in a pretty profitable day. After all, he tripled home two runs in the ninth and even stole home standing up to nail down his seventh victory without a loss. Upon returning to his hotel however, he learned he had been fined $40 for arguing with um pire Frank Secory last Tuesday night. Of course, that fine doesn't compare with the $400 one taken out of his last salary check for refusing to pitch bat ting practice earlier this month, but every little bit hurts. Newcombe, who hopes he'll get all that money back, and then some, in the form of a World Series cut, enabled the pace-setting Dodgers to retain their six-game lead over the ram paging Cubs, who beat the Car dinals, 3-0. Seven in Eight The victory, turned in by vet eran Howie Pollet, marked the Cubs' seventh in their last eight games.
