TWAVE MIDrORD (OREGOIO MAIL TRIBUTE Wednesday. July II. 1956 Meeting of PCC Pexies Sought To Lift Gridder Ineligibilities Log Angeles XI.Rj University of Southern California President Fred D. Fagg Jr., today urged that a meeting of Pacific Coast Conference presidents be called within two weeks to lift all foot ball ineligibility actions against athletes pending formation of a new PCC code on aid to players. Fagg Tuesday requested that the meeting be called in a tele gram to President Robert Gor don Sproul of California, chair man of the president's council. The request came as many Southern Californians demanded that both USC and UCLA with draw from the conference. The Trojans were slapped over the weekend with fines of $63,400 and loss of a year's eligi bility for 42 football players as well as being banned from post season bowl games for two years. Earlier UCLA also was handed stiff penalties for alleged "under the table" payments to athletes. Directives Not Followed Fajg charged in the telegram that the action of the faculty representatives in a meeting at Berkeley didn't follow the direc tives of the presidents. He said the college presidents at their June 18 meeting had told the fac ulty representatives to review their penalties against PCC schools 'with a view towards correcting any possible in equalities. When informed of the request, Chancellor Raymond B. Allen of UCLA declared: "I fully en dorse and strongly concur Jn the sentiments expressed in Dr. Fang's telegram." The PCC's action against USC and UCLA has caused feelings to run high in the Los Angeles area and one newspaper, the Herald Express, rah a ballot asking readers to vote on whether the two schools should remain or withdraw from the conference. The paper reported that the bal loting was 200 to 1 in favor of withdrawal on earlv returns.

Use Tribune Want Ads By john Mcdonald United Press Sports Writer Two slim percentage points separated the league-leading Se attle Rainiers and the homer happy Los Angeles Angels to day after last-place Vancouver put on their mightiest display of power of the season to shave a game off the Rainiers lead Tuesday night. The lowly Mounties blasted 17 hits and Bob Harrison scat tered nine blows to coast in with a 13-0 shutout. Seattle's loss, coupled with the Angels come from behirid 6-3 win over Port land moved the Cherubs a game in front in the win column. But the Rainiers have lost one less game and lead by .606 to .604. The Mounties got their runs in two big clusters, six in the sixth frame and five in the eighth when Ron Jackson blast ed a three run homer. Jackson also poked two doubles to lead the Vancouver attack, along with Jim Pisoni who homered and singled to drive in four runs. Jackson's blast, a mighty poke, shot over the wall in dead cen ter field, 450 feet from the plate.

Two-run homers by George Freese and Jim Bolger were the margin in the Los Angeles win. the Angels sixth in a row over the Beavers and their eighth in 11 meetings between the two clubs. Both roundtrippers came in the eighth frame when Port land held a brief 3-2 edge. Home runs accounted for all the Beaver runs, with Catcher Sam Calderone hitting a solo shot in the second inning and Luis Marquez getting his 12th of the year in the sixth with Frank Carswell, who had singled, aboard. Veteran Max Surkont went all the way for San Francisco to pick up his second win against two defeats. Big Max gave up 10 hits and was in frequent trouble but three Seal double plays got him out of jams. First Sacker Larry DiPippo figured in four of the Seal runs, scoring three times and doubling in a fourth run, while Gordie Wind horn hit a bases empty homer for the Seals in the fifth. Stars Hold Ground Joe Duhem's two run homer was the big blow in Hollywood's win as the Stars stayed within knocking distance, seven games off the pace. The Padres tied it up in the eighth on two unearned runs, but Hollywood came back to score on singles by Gene Freese and R. C. Stevens, a sacrifice bunt by Duhem and Roman Mejias' sacrifice fly. Eddie Kazak booted Dick Smith's smash to third to allow Stevens to score with an insurance run in the same frame. Reliever Fred Green got the win, his fifth against four de feats.

United Press Sports Writer Melbourne, Australia U.R)- Although expenses in some cases paid to traveling athletes have been very high, John Landy gained the impression that "there is no professionalism in athletics in America." Landy's comments on profes sionalism were among several subjects the champion miler dis cussed in a survey of his recent American tour. He said the Wes Santee case has stirred up a great deal of controversy in the United States, and many people feel he was Homers By Stan, Willie Please Boyer (Editor's note: Third base man Ken Boyer of the St. Louis Cardinals rapped out three hits and contributed two glittering plays afield to em erge as one of th estandouts in the National league's 7-3 victory over the American league in the All-Star game Tuesday. In the following dis patch he tells in his own words how it felt.) By KEN BOYER As Told To The United Press Washington (U.R) Every ball player likes his base hits and I'm no exception, but the two biggest kicks I got were the home runs hit by Willie Mays and Stan Musial. Our skipper, Walt Alston, says Willie May's fourth inning homer is the blow that gave US' our start. I was on first base at the time, and man, I'll tell you that ball sure looked good disappear ing into the left field seats. I was in the on-deck circle when Stan connected in the sev enth. I had a hunch it was going all the way when it left his bat. He and I are flying back to St. Louis tonight and that homer of his is going to make the trip real pleasant. You like-to talk about those things. Me? Well I was tickled pink even to be voted into the All- Star game. The rest was all gravy. I'm glad my three singles had a small part in the National league's victory and I imagine the only thing that will ever make 'me feel ' any happier is playing in a World Series with the Cardinals. Sort of Lucky About those two plays I made in the field, well, in the first inning when I made a diving catch on Harvey Kuenn's liner, I was playing in quite a bit be cause I was half-looking for. a bunt. So I was sort of lucky to grab the ball. Kuenn's probably a little mad at me because of that stop I made on him again in the fifth. I know how he feels about los ing a base hit. There was only one disap pointment in the game as far as I was concerned. I'd heard so much about Herb Score of Cleve land that I was looking forward to hitting against him. I never got the chance, though. Oh, well, you can't have everything. victimized. They are quick to point out, Landy said, that Rus sia has solved the problem eas ily enough. i "There you can't be declared a professional since there is no such thing as a professional sportsman. All sportsmen and women there are aided by the state," he said. The Victorian schoolteacher added "The concept of amateur ism must be very elastic to in clude at one and the same time, the Australian athlete who pays his own fare to the Australian national championships and the Russian who draws an officer's pay but spends his time in train ing camps." Other Observations Some of Landy's other obser vations: t Australia: "Most Americans don't know a great deal about our country apart from capital cities and our general position on the globe Olympic visitors: "Most Amer icans won't come just to see the games. They'll want to have a look at Australia and meet its people." Accommodations: "Bill eting Americans in private Melbourne homes is splendid idea. Ameri cans will like our home life though our hotels, apart from a select few, won't be able to give them the first class service they expect." New York: "The great concen tration of people, wealth, and buildings on Manhattan island fascinated me. But I would agree with the general dictum that 'It's a nice place to visit, but that I wouldn't like to live there.' " Running tracks: "I found the tracks at Fresno and Los Ange les fast but hard, better for sprinting than for distance run ning. But one gets used to them in time."

Plans call for spreading 27, 000 pounds of powdered roten one throughout the lake and 550 gallons of liquid rotenone in the marshland areas and tributaries. Thirty game commission em-1 ployees will carry out the treat-! ment using two of the barge type j spreaders, similar to those used j in the Diamond lake treatment, j and eight outboard motor boats. ; Primary reason for the roten-1 one treatment is to remove the carp which have infested the lake, although all fish, including j game fish, will be killed by the i chemical. No other forms of I aquatic life will suffer ill effects j nor is the chemical harmful to j humans. I The rotenone does not affect i the edibility of the fish killed, j and persons are invited, to pick j them up for use if they so desire, i No attempt will be made to bar 1 boats from the lake during the j treatment operations. ; Plans for the second phase of ! the rehabilitation that of re stocking the lake have not been j completed to date. The feasibil-i ity of restocking with salmon- j oids and warm-water species is ' under careful study by the com-; mission. j OUTDOOR HEARING?
