EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Expediency Charged by UW Official Seattle (U.R) Former Foot ball Coach Johnny Cherberg and two University of Washington officials reacted with surprise and indignation today upon learning of the series of penal ties the Pacific Coast Conference had levied on the university. H. P. (Dick) Everest, vice-president of the university, said the PCC acted on "expediency, not facts" in assessing the penalties, which include a two-year proba tion and the equivalent of a $53,000 fine. "Apparently they felt that with all the publicity on Uni versity of Washington football, some drastic action had to be taken," said Everest. "But they made no consideration of facts, and rather acted only on exped iency." ' No Sense The university vice-president said the conference's decision "just doesn't make sense." "It went so far that it took it completely beyond the bounds of reason," he said. Washington's faculty repre sentative to the conference, Prof. Donald Wollett, said in San Francisco last night that he was "surprised at the severity" of the penalties. "I expected some type of dis ciplinary action," Wollett said, "but I did not expect it to be so severe. I did not expect an ac tion that would penalize the Other sports in our athletic pro gram for something that had to do only with the football team." Cherberg said it was "highly .unfair" of the conference "to place what little stigma they did on the Evergreen Educational Foundation."

Although still in sixth place after a miserable start, Manager Tommy Holmes' club has won six of its last seven games and four of those triumphs were posted by Werle and Valdes without any help from the bull pen. Portland captured a twin bill from Seattle yesterday as south paw Werle (4-2) went the route in the opener for a 6-4 win and Valdes (4-1) hung up his second shutout of the year by blanking the Suds in the nightcap, 7-0. A few days before this joint performance, Werle subdued first place Los Angeles 7-1 on May 1 and Valdes completed the one-two combination the follow ing night by handcuffing the Cherubs, 3-1. Mounlies, Angels Idle Portland was the only club to sweep yesterday's double head ers. Sacramento and San Fran cisco divided as did San Diego and Hollywood. Vancouver's Sunday blue law kept the Moun ties and Los Angeles idle until tonight's single game which winds up their current series there. Sacramento dug deeper into second place by splitting with San Francisco. The Solons took Monday, May 7, 1958 the opener, 7-3 and the Seals won the second game, 1-0, in the last inning when Bob DiPietri looped a base-loaded pinch hit. The blow gave southpaw Bill Henry the win while Cloyd Boyer, down on option from Kansas City, took the loss. Padres Break Tie Hollywood took the opener from San Diego, 5-4, and the Padres won the nightcap by snapping a 5-5 tie in the seventh frame to win, 7-5. Luis Marquez was the big gun at bat for Portland, getting five hits in the two games. He drove in three runs in the second game. Ed Mickelson and Tommy Saffell had four hits each in the twin bill. Valdes scattered four hits in notching his shutout while Werle gave up 11 blows in the first game.- LINESCORES: . (1st Garnet Seattle 003 000 001 4 11 1 Portland 001 202 Olx 6 13 0 Fracchia.

LONG United Press Sports Writer The Salem Senators undoubt- ly heaved a sigh of relief today as they left Yakima for Wenai- chee and what they hope is a more hospitable reception. Salem was cruising along in first place Friday when the Sen- ators blew into Yakima. But after three straight losses to the Bears, Salem had dropped all the way to fourth. Herm Lewis and Dick Neal provided the extra base power yesterday as they led Yakima to a 4-3 victory over the Senators, Lewis hammered a two-run honv er over the centerfield wall in the first inning, and Neal came through in the next inning with a two-run double. The second game of a scheduled double' header was rained out. Saturday Sweep Yakima took both ends of a Saturday twin bill from Salem. 5-1 and 3-2. The week end sweep left the Bears in a vir tual tie vith Lewiston for first place. Yakima trails Lewiston by only .012 percentage points, Lewiston swept two games from Eugene yesterday, 10-8 and 3-2. Joe Riney and Gene Klinger both homered for the Broncs in the first game, while Bill Girdley hammered the ball out of the park in the ninth with two on for Eugene. Linfield Leads Northwest Loop Bv UNITED PRESS A full schedule awaits the Northwest Conference this week as the six-team circuit nears the wire in i pennant drive. But finally the league goes into a week with a clear-cut leader. Linfield and Pacific, who have shared the top rung throughout most of the campaign, finally put a game between them as Linfield dumped Lewis and Clark 11-2 at McMinnville Saturday and Pa cific lost to Whitman 6-4 at For est Grove. In the other conference game Saturday, Willamette scored an 8-4 win over College of Idaho. Butler Leading Little in Final Larry Butler holds a 1-up lead on Bol Little in their match for the spring golf handicap cham pionship of Rogue Valley Coun try club. The two played the first 18 holes of their 36-hole match on Saturday. Final 18. is slated sometime this week. Hank Herman took the first flight prize with a 3 and 2 win over Ed Nichols. Forrest Casey won the second flight with a 5 and 4 decision over Monte Stram. Brad Broyles and Lee Flink have yet to play in the third flight finale. Pancho Gonzales 'Natural' Tennis Player; Driver in 'Drag' Races Pancho Gonzales, who comes to Medford on May 28 with the Jack Kramer tennis tour, is a natural born player who didn't even have to practice to beat the best in his school when he first took to the courts. Gonzales' parents emigrated from Mexico and settled in Los Angeles where he was born. While still a small boy, his moth er gave him a cheap racquet and it was then that Gonzales, born Richard Alonzo, found his call ing. So great was his love for the game that it interfered with his formal education. He spent many hours on the courts, a pastime which was occasionally inter rupted by the truant officer. His distaste for learning caused him to be barred from the Southern California Tennis Association. In the late stages of World War II. he served in the Navy and when he came out, he was restored to good standing in the tennis association. 'Drag' Race Driver Although Gonzales has a tre mendous interest in "drag" rac es and is a champion driver, Promoter Kramer has ordered PANCHO GONZALES Natural Born Tennis Player McLoughlin Meet Victor McLoughlin junior high of Medford picked up second place in four of the seven events it won Saturday in a ninth grade dual meet here with Klamath Falls, 64 to 55.

Terry Hamilton won the 70-yard high hurdles for the Bulldogs and knotted with Bob Drace of Klamath Falls in the high jump. Only a bad spill kept Hamil ton from beating out his team mate, Fred Funston, for first in the low hurdles. Hamilton col lided with his last hurdle and turned a complete flip, landing on his neck. Funston's time in the racn was :14.8. Other victors for the Bulldogs were Gerry Lyons :08.3 in the 75-yard dash, Rick Sheffers 9-6 in the pole vault and Ron Reich 1:35.2 in the 660-yard run.

The Black Tornado plays at Grants Pass on Tuesday and the Cavemen come here on Friday. Victory in both contests is a virtual must for the Medford team if it is to stay in the race for the pennant. Grants Pass will assure itself a tie in the final regular season standing by defeating the Tornado just once. Triumph in both games with Medford will give the Cavemen the toga. If Medford can drop the cur rent league leaders twice, it will go on top in the circuit and dis trict chase. Such a lead would have to be preserved by trim ming Klamath Falls at least once on May 19.

MEDFORD Black Tornado reported that the choice of pitcher for the GP appearance tomorrow will de pend on tonight's workout. Ex cept ior some jayvee action, Tor nado players have had no game since April 28. Squad Game Wet weather prevented action with the University of Oregon Frosh on Friday. Games with Eugene high on Saturday could have been played but Eugene's players could not be rounded up after once being told the double bill was off. Medford players men had a squad tussle on a University of Oregon field. Ashland, all but out of the race in the conference, goes to Klamath Falls for two games Friday. Klamath is out of the running but could have a spoiler role. Ashland plays Crater at Cen tral Point Tuesday afternoon. The Grizzlies had to go n extra inning early in the season for a one-run win over Crater. The Comets likely will have Fred Herrmann on the mound. Coach Clarence Mellbye is keeping Herrmann-in tune with all the work possible in preparation for district and state play-off ac tion. State play-offs are so ar ranged this year that it's pos sible for a team to. go all the way with its strongest pitcher. Washington .
