(U.R) Hopes were rekindled at UCLA and University of Washington today that their financial penalties, Rose Bowl bans and player eligi bility losses may be reduced. The prospects were raised after Pacific Coast Conference college presidents, in session here Monday, told faculty repre sentatives to review completely their recent decision, In view of possible inequities. Washington was fined the equivalent of $52,000 and banned from the Rose Bowl for two years, and UCLA was fined $95,000, banned from the bowl for three years and players found taking money "under the table" were deprived of a year of eligibility. Inequities Possible "We don't know what the fac ulty representatives will find," said Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul, president of the University of California and chairman of the college leaders' group. "And we don't know if they will revise the penalties upward or down ward or if they will leave them as they are. "But there has been consider able talk that due to the fact the penalties were levied at differ ent times, there may be some Inequalities." With that in mind, the presi dents ordered the faculty repre sentatives to have their review work completed by Sept. 1, 1956. The college executives made their decision after a six-hour session on the University of Cal ifornia campus. They also ruled that in the future all monies raised by alum ni or booster groups for use in athletics must be turned over to the college for administration. "As a result of this meeting," Dr. Sproul said "we expect better enforcement of the rules. The presidents will pay more atten tion to athletic control in the fu ture. After all, the ultimate re- Grants Pass Wins in RV Play Sunday ROGUE VALLEY LEAGl'E Grants Pass Ashland - Cheney Colts Cave Juction Butte Falls Camp White Eagle Point - L. Prt 0 1.000 0 1.000 1 MO 2 .500 2 MO 2 300 4 .000 4 .000 The Rogue Valley league came out of Sunday games with a four team tie for second place, the leaders still leading and the trailers still trailing. Grants Pass went to Ashland and ruined the afternoon for the home team with a 13 run splurge in the fifth inning, the only in ning in which GP scored. Ash land got one in the second, one in the fifth and three in the sixth, but took the defeat 13 to 5. Drews and Harbor pitched for the winners. Berg, Colley, and Montgomery for the losers. At Eagle Point, visiting Glen dale handed its hosts a 6 to 1 de feat. Glendale pitched Miller and Eagle Point used Branum and Boren on the mound. Camp White was beaten by Butte Falls 6 to 4 and the Che ney Colts were mastered by Cave Junction 10 to 5. Next Sunday, Eagle Point will be at Ashland: the Cheney Colts at Grants Pass; Glendale at Camp White; and Butte Falls at Cave Junction. Machen Gets 14th Victory San Francisco (U.R Sharp- shooting Eddie Machen chalked up his 14th victory in as many professional fights Monday night when he stopped Sgt. Matt Jackson in the fourth round of a scheduled 10-round right at San Francisco Garden. Referee Freddy Apostoli halt ed the fight in 2:51 of the fourth shortly after Jackson had fal len to the canvas for the third time and his corner threw in the towel. Machen, of Redding. Calif., weighed 196. and Jackson, of Van Nuys, Calif., weighed 183. It was the 11th time that Machen has stopped an opponent. Machen. who will meet Nino Valdes next month in a national ly televised match, also dropped Jackson in the second and third rounds, with the bell saving his opponent each time. Jackson's third and final trip came in the fourth after Machen spun completely around after missing a left uppercut but then connected with a soft right to the face.

Dr. Sproul said the decision for the presidents to control the funds was the strongest one ever taken by the conference. Unanimous Findings "I will add that not one single school has even considered the possibility of withdrawing from the conference," he said. "And no man left our meeting feeling he had been gipped." On the subject of penalties al ready assessed against UCLA and Washington, a statement from the group pointed out that the "penalties should not only be equitable, but also commen surate with the vinlation some of which have been very ser ious." From this it was taken to be lieve there was little chance for the penalties against the two schools to be lowered to any ap preciable extent. All school chiefs with the ex ception of Dr. Meredith Wilson of the University of Oregon were in attendance, and the findings by the group was unanimous. The college presidents did not discuss charges of illegal activ ity in regard to payments to ath letes at University of California and Southern California. Faculty representatives will take these charges under consideration at a meeting here July 7-8. IPODffiTS NEW COLLEGIATE RECORD With mouth agape and muscles straining, towering Ken Bantum of Manhattan heaves the shot to a new national intercollegiate record of 60 feet, V2 inch during the 1956 NCAA track and field meet at the University of California in Berkeley. Previous intercollegiate record of 58 feet, IV inches was made by world record holder Perry O'Brien in 1953. OBnens new world record is 61 feet, four inches. Coach Says Morrow Is Best Sprinter of Era By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (U.R) The best sprinter of modern times, says Brutus Hamilton, 1952 U.S. Olmypic track and field coach, is Bobby Morrow, the power man from Abilene Christian. Morrow is the best sprinter of this generation," said Hamil ton after watching the Texan whip such formidable foes as Dave Sime of Duke, Bobby Whilden of Texas, Mike Agos- tini of Fresno State. Dick Blair of Kansas and Leamon King of California in the NCAA champ ionships. What impressed Hamilton wasn't so much the fact that Morrow won, but the way he did it Led Field From Start The powerfully-built, 190 pounder just took one step off the starting blocks and it was such a strong one that he was in front of the rest of the field right away. He didn't get a bet ter start than the rest just stronger. Many had thought that Sime would beat Morrow but they hadn't counted on an important item called "experience" figur ing in the final results. This was especially true in the 200-meter race, where the Duke sophomore Szuzina, Cotton Fight to Draw New York (U.R) Middle weight Franz Szuzina of Ger many, who was held to his "un lucky 13th" draw in his U.S. debut Monday night, hoped .to day he would get better than an even break in his next fight, July 10, at Milwaukee. The stocky carpenter from Bremen declared angrily through an interpreter he could not understand how the officials gave him only a drow with Charley Cotton of Toledo, Ohio, in their TV 10-rounder at St. Nicholas Arena. Cotton, favors at 9-8, said, "I thought I won decisively. They must have given him points for holding. Cotton weighed 156VA pounds. the heaviest of his career, and was a heavy favorite. Sime pull ed up wih a groin injury. It was only the second time that Sime had run around a Curve (the first timp wac the. rfnv before) and he showed lack of experience. Jaw Muscles Relax "There's an art to running around a curve at full speed," Morrow pointed out later. "You need to practice it. You have to lean into the curve, swing your right arm across the body and cross your right leg to avoid falling off balance. Coming off the bend, I straighten up, relax until I can feel my jaw muscles loose, then drive to the wire." . In most U.S. meets, the 220 yard dash is run on a straight away. But with the Olympics coming up, the NCAA always runs the 200-meter race around a curve because that's the way they do it in international com petition. After his sad showing in the 200 in which he had to pull up after about 100 meters, the dis couraged Sime said that he might forget track entirely and devote his time to baseball. He claims baseball is his "first love" and there are reports that some major league scouts are talking in terms of a bonus that might run between $25,000 and $50,000. House Votes Reduce Plane Fare for Clergy Washington OI.R) The House voted Monday to let the big airlines carry clergymen at reduced fares. Trains and inter state buses already may do so.

One will be tied for sec ond with the Studs and the other tied for first with Drain after their scheduled game at North Bend tomorrow evening.

In actual play, this is the record: Medford has won one (Grants Pass) and lost one (Roseburg); Grants Pass has won two (Myrtle Creek and Roseburg) and lost one (Medford); Roseburg has won one (Medford) and lost one (Grants Pass). Because Myrtle Creek dis banded after its first game, the early Grants Pass victory over it has been stricken from the record, leaving GP at one win and one loss.
