On 2-Year Probation By HAL WOOD San Franciaco U.F9 Officials t University of Washington co operated in furnishing some of the evidence that finally result ed in Husky athletics being placed on a two-year probation by the Pacific Coast Conference and given 'the equivalent of $53,000 fine. Commissioner Victor O Schmidt said today that he fail ed to get any cooperation, how ever, out of the Greater Wash ington Advertising fund the so- called "slush fund" that helped pay salaries to athletes at the school. The university and I both ask ed the Greater Washington Ad vertising fund for a list of the names of athletes they had been giving money," said Schmidt. "But they refused to help us.' As a result the organization which received about $28,000 last summer to help finance Husky athletes, has been banned from further connection with the school. In a far-reaching decision, faculty representatives in a two- day session here over the week end: No Bowl Receipts 1. Banned Washington from the Rose Bowl for two years and eliminated the school from a split of the Rose Bowl re ceipts. Last year each school received approximately $26,700 as its share of the net receipts thus in two years the total fund loss would be around the $53,000 mark. 2. Made the school ineligible for listing or consideration as divisional or conference cham pion in any sport, regardless of what the actual record might be, 3. Ruled that Washington may not participate in any NCAA sponsored event. These would be national championship NCAA basketball, track and field and baseball. 4. Banned the school from ap pearing on any national-televi sion program from its home grounds. 5. Banned all contact between tha alumnus R. C. (Torchy) Tor rance in charga of the Greater Washington Advertising Fund and prospective students. . Warned that if the "situa tion" wasn't cleaned up at the end of tha two-year probation- Women's Golf Ladies' day golf this Thurs day at Rogue Valley Country club will see first 18-hole RV women's trophy medal play along with a throw out tourney.

Another Breach Schmidt said that is was the University of Washington that discovered another breach of ethics the Evergreen Educa tional foundation. This group, contrary to the conference rules lent money to athletes. Under the rules, these funds must be administered by the school. The university officials have the complete list of names of the students receiving these loans and these athletes will be ineligible to compete until such time as the loans have been fully repaid. All the loans were to football players. "The university is going to turn these names over to the conference," said Schmidt. "Pro fessor Donald Wollett, the Wash ington faculty representative on the PCC, took action himself to declare these athletes ineligible. The school became involved in the "slush fund" when it was revealed that school representa tives know about the fund. These included head football Coach Johnny Cherberg and Athletic Director Harvey Cassill, both of whom have severed their con nections. The probationary period starts Aug. 1, this year and ends July 1, 1358. The August date was set this year to allow Washing ton men to compete in the Olym pic games trials. FAIRINGS: I.Irs.

(U.R) Bar rel-chested Mike Souchak and Tommy Bolt, champion and runner-up in the rich Colonial Na tional Invitation Golf tourna ment, led a highly favored U.S. team against the Canadians to day in the fifth annual Interna tional PGA matches. And, if the host American squad follows the pace its mem bers set in the Colonial medal play affair, all signs pointed to ward a fifth straight walk-over victory over their Canadian PGA . cousins. For, with Souchak's powerful par 280 and Bolt's 281 also-ran figure, the aggregate medal score of the six Americans who competed was 47 strokes better than that of the Canadians. Only Stan Leonard, from Le Chute, Ont., was able to make any appreciable inroads into the fat prize package. Leonard closed with a 286 tying George Bayer of Cincin nati, Ohio, for fourth. - - Gardner Dickinson Jr., of Pan ama City, Fla., was third with 285, while Ben Hogan of Fort Worth, Jimmy Demaret of Ki- amesha Lake, N.Y., Bo Wininger of Oklahoma City and Peter Thomsom of Melbourne, ' Aus tralia had 287s.

Southern Oregon's baseball twinbill with Oregon Tech was also postpon ed. BOUT POSSIBLE IN JUNE New York (U.R) Cus D'Ama- to, cautious manager of sensa tional young Floyd Patterson, said today the heavyweight con tenders' fight with Tommy (Hur ricane) Jackson at Madison Square Garden is "all set as far as we are concerned." He said he believed the bout would be staged on June 13 or 20. "We want it just as soon as possible," he declared. "And we want the winner to be recognized as champion, now that Rocky Mar ciano has retired." An average telephone pole came from a tree at least 60 years old. Top-speed relief fee our stomach, jras, mad indigestion 0T 10 swings is a winding carpet of needles umbrellaed with vine- maples, firs and maybe cedar, It got its start generations ago, when the wild animals first got the careless habit of letting their tracks lie around. In a hundred seasons or so the tracks became a flock of paths going in the same general direction. Pretty soon moccasined Indians "hove into sight" and followed up the example of the deer, bear and cougar and now it s a moun tain trail. It winds eighteen miles to my cedar-shake cabin. Every young sapling, regard less of color, size or sex, wants to be a fir when it grows up and poke its crown into high heaven and, if a snowslide comes tear ing down the mountainside, be able to stand its ground. And stand right there and keep on talking to God. A cotton tail," so I've heard the owl say, "is just one scared bunch of soft fur which jumps provokingly under thorny sal mon-berry brush and wildrose bushes." A mountain is Mt. Hood. She reaches her white cone 12,000 feet and more into high heaven. She's so grand that she doesn't need man-inade sounds to get her ideas across; she uses wind and snow and sunshine, and now and then an avalanche or two when her thoughts' get too pon derous and unwieldy. A mountain lake is sky blue and green and indigo. It lies around and dreams and smiles at the world in good sunshine. The sky is mirrored in it, and the lake sees, its image reflected above that's why it smiles. When the weather is roiled, it's powerfully black and mean. . " 7 Boots are your life. They're just naturally your whole outfit. It's hard to beat a caulked eight inch logger boot with a spring heel, laced up with thin leather strings. A pack-horse is the meanest punishment ever devised to in flict upon mortal man. An aver age cayuse can, let's say, get his saddle bags off in 15 seconds, and his whole harness off in an abbreviated minute. Rainbow trout are the smart est concoction of slyness, speed and gameness that was ever toss ed together. He sure got what he was driving for. When they're in action, they are silver light ning; when they're at rest, they wiggle a fin now and again just to be an the swim of things. They're so indifferent that they don't give a hang if a million flies go by when they're not in the exact mood for feeding. If you want incentive to your direction and sheer velocity to your locomotion, get organized with a hornet. One alone can unsling a yard of stinger in a split second. I've heard tell mud is good but I've never stopped to try. Twilight is the hush hour of nature, between a starlit sky and a woods full of light. Some times it lasts but a minute.
