the season of 11 victories and
two defeats. That mark com

for the Tornado playing under
the tutelage of John Kovenz.
Rainy weather earlier this sea
son prevented a chance for a
comparison between the Axemen
and the Tornado. Medford went
to Eugene for a twinbill. . The
Eugene club was told after a

tussles were out. It appeared
Saturday that the games could
be played but the Axemen could
not be rounded up. . ' ''

Victoria, B.C. XUR) The Pa

Coast Loop Returned
Closer To Amateurism
Br BILL McFARLAND
Victoria, B.C. U.R) The Pa
cific Coast Conference winds up
an historic meeting today on a
note it has, by force, returned
the game of football closer to
amateurism in the PCC. .
Only minor matters were left
on the agenda.
In the past five days the con
ference has:
1. Crushed high and mighty
UCLA's athletic program for
three years because it was taint
ed by unauthorized payments of
financial aid to athletes.
2. Put a clamp on athletic
"tramps" by making it impos
sible for an athlete at one mem
ber school to transfer to another
just for the sake of sports com
petition. All eligibility for ath
letic competition is lost by the
transfer athlete unless he proves
the reason for the transfer was
for academic betterment.
3. Put the onus on off-campus
booster clubs, unless the affili
ated university or college has
control over such clubs that help
recruit of athletes or provide fi
nancial aid to them.
Minor Action
Other actions were taken but
were minor by comparison.
One of the conference's most
powerful, officials said of the
meeting: "The steps we have
taken are in the right direction.
Other PCC Schools Pay
Higher Say UCLA Players
Los Angeles U.R) The Uni
versity of California at Los An
geles faces a dismal outlook for
the 1956 football season as a re
sult of a Pacific Coast confer
ence ruling penalizing every
member of the squad a year's
eligibility.
The PCC's action came Mon
day, less than three days after
it put the school on a three-year
probation. UCLA stands to lose
11 of 17'lettermen due'back next
fall .unless they can prove they
haven't received illegal finan
cial aid.
The latest action drew sharp
criticism from both players and
alumni at UCLA. v ,
Hardiman Cureton, UCLA's
senior All-American, accused
the University of Southern Cali
fornia of paying the highest
prices to get athletes on . the
coast.
"If I were a member of the
UCLA coaching staff, I would

We're going to make athletics

through." .
A number of Coast Conference
coaches voiced opinions that the
Coast Conference is moving to
wards making the PCC a "sec
ond Ivy League" which has dras
tically de-emphasized big time
sports, particularly football.
The conference, it was re
vealed, may not be at the end of
the line in its quest of erasing
evils in athletics at member
schools.
Conference spokesman,. Dr.
Glen Seaborg of the University
of California, and Commissioner
Victor O. Schmidt said they
would pursue all reoorts of ath
letic misconduct with relation to
the conference code, including
anything an athlete, a coach or
even parents of players and oth
ers may wish to reveal. It ap
peared possible more severe pen
alties such as ' those : handed
UCLA at this meeting and Wash
ington at a special meeting in
San Francisco earlier this month
may be forthcoming if evidence
warrants.

cial meetings could be called in

necessary.
be in favor of spilling the beans
about other schools," he said.
"We get peanuts compared to
what SC pays those guys."
The Bruins star end Ronnie
Loudd declared that he was of
fered far more to attend other
schools on the coast than the
Bruins gave him.
"I refused trips, transporta
tion and large expense money to
visit schools up and down the
coast," Loudd said. "California
offered me $1600 cash to attend
and $50 over and above the al
lotted $75 permitted by the con
ference." Included in the players who
might be lost are such standouts
as passing sensation - Ronnie
Knox, blocking back Don Shin-
nick, halfback Gerry McDou-

fullback Bruce Ballard, ends
Tom Adams and Pete O'Garro,
