San Francisco (U.R) Pacific
Coast conference leaders, digging
deep into code violations, spent
seven hours Saturday discussing
Universtiy of Southern Califor
nia activities but failed to reach
any decision.
Faculty representatives resum
ed their discussions Saturday
night in their special two-day
session at the Sir Francis Drake
hotel. They will study charges
that USC has a "slush fund"
comparable to the one which
prompted the PCC to ban Wash
ington and UCLA from the Rose
Bowl.
Dr. Glenn Seaborg of Califor
nia, spokesman for the group,
said so far only Southern Cali
fornia was discussed at the meet
ing. "But California and Washing
ton State violations also will be
considered before we conclude
this meeting Sunday," he said.
Washington State s entry into
the violations derby came as
something of a surprise. Seaborg
said that Emmett Moore, WSC
faculty representative, had off
ered evidence against his own
school.
Seaborg also said Stanford's
report of minor violations had
not been received and therefore
would not be considered at this
meeting.
He said he was not certain a
review of previous disciplinary
actions requested by member col
lege presidents would be made
at this time.
In past actions by the faculty
representatives UCLA was fined
the equivalent of $95,000 and
banned from the Rose Bowl for
three years and Washington was
fined the equivalent of $52,000

Porterhouse strengthened h i t
hold on the sprinting champion

in the $27,300 Lakes and Flow

The Llangollen farm star con
queror of Swaps earlier in the
meeting, found the six furlong
distance to his lining as he clos
ed with a rush to nail Scent and
Moolah Bux in the stretch and
pull away by a length and a
quarter.
The time of 1:09 flat was just
a fifth of a second off the track
record and Porterhouse accom
plished his easy win with top
weight of 124 pounds.
Scent and Moolah Bux raced
as the entry of Monaghan farms
and Trainer Hurst Philpot as
they finished second and third.
Spring Count was fourth, while
the well-regarded Cyclotron
was fifth in the seven-horse
field.
Porterhouse was sent off an

crowd of 45,000 racing fans and
he returned $5.40, 3.10 and 3.10.
The Entry returned $3.30 and

PCC Commissioner Victor O.

which was invoked by promoter
Cal Eaton of the Los Angeles
Olympic auditorium. Over that
period, Frye had not been al
lowed to go past the dressing
room door at Eaton's fight club.
It also was Eaton, and Match
maker Babe McCoy, who sought
permission to schedule the Rob-inson-Aragon
bout. The commis
sion had witheld approval last
week, citing the difference be
tween the boxers' weights. But
today it voted flatly that such
a fight would be a mismatch.
"Aragon is ranked fifth among
the welterweights by Ring mag
azine and seventh by the Na
tional Boxing Association," Buc
ciarelli said before moving that
the request be turned down. The
vote was unanimous.
Jules Covey, a former mem
ber of the commission who now
is Eaton's counsel, argued for
about an hour and 10 minutes
on behalf of the bout.
"Every match should be judg
ed on its own merits," Covey
said. "You can't apply the same
slide rule to all contests."
Aragon, who listened from the
spectator's row, at first said he
had -o comment but then went
befoe the commission and de
clared, "Ray Robinson accepted
my challenge and I'm certain
I could have beaten him and
maybe knocked him out."

In Charges
Los Angeles (U.R) Jockey
Eddie Arcaro has been accused
by his stepmother of conspiring
with his father to cheat her of
community property.
Mrs. Edna Arcaro charged on
Friday in a divorce suit against
her husband, Pacquale, that he
took premarital savings, her
home and other property and
put them in the name of the vet
eran jockey.
Mrs. Arcaro also accused her
husband of taking $1900 of her
savings to pay back alimony to
a former wife besides borrow
ing $1500 from her to spend on
himself. She said he coerced her
into selling her home and used
$10,000 she obtained for his own
purposes.
The couple was married Nov.
17, 1949, in Bromley, Ky., and
separated last Jan. 5. Her suit
asked for a court order to re

Miss Fry thus became the 13th

Homer Spree
Helps Reds
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Ted Kluszewski's on a torrid
home run binge that's giving the
already power-laden Cincinnati
Redlegs an added wallop in their
battle to hold first place in the
tightly-bunched National league
race.
The 230-pound first - baseman
got off to a slow start al
though his teammates hardly
seemed to miss him but he's
hammered out seven homers in
his last six games to prove once
again he's the- "big stick" of the
Redleg club. In those six games,
Big Klu has driven in 14 runs
and hit .375.
Kluszewski kept the Redlegs
in first place Friday night when
he walloped a three-run homer
in the fifth inning that carried
them to a 6-4 victory over the
St. Louis Cardinals and enabled
him to tie Ernie Banks of the
Chicago Cubs for the National
league lead at 21 each.
Miss Fry won the first set
with two service breaks and
then ran up a 5-0 lead in the
second set to gain her easy victory-
A blazing sun bathed a cap
