Governor PCC Presidents Meet Tuesday By ED CAPPS Sacramento, Calif. (U.R) Gov. Goodwin J. Knight has suggested that California's major universities pull out of the Pa cific Coast conference and form a state sports conference of their own. The governor, obviously lred by recent disciplinary actions in the PCC. said the "whole ivory tower business raises the hackles cn my red-blooded American neck." "I am wondering if it might not be a good plan to consider the forming of a California con ference, leaving out the two uni versities in Washington and the two in Oregon and the one in Idaho," he added. Meanwhile, PCC officials in Los Angeles submitted a full re port of its disciplinary action against west coast schools to the NCAA, governing body of inter collegiate athletics. And President Robert Gordon Sproul of the University of Cali fornia, and chairman of the PCC's council of presidents, an nounced that conference presi dents have agreed to a special Now is the time to buy.

Knight said that the fact that the University of California at Berkeley apparently has accept ed the conference penalties with out a struggle complicates the situation "very badly." However, he admitted that as governor he has no power to re verse . Sproul'3 acceptance of fines against the University of California and UCLA, and has "absolutely no jurisdiction over the PCC." Report Requested PCC Commissioner Victor O. Schmidt said the NCAA has re quested, a report on penalties assessed against UCLA and Washington, but will also re ceive reports on California and Southern California, which were penalized later. NCAA regulations call for all aid to athletes to be administer ed by the university.

The governor had no crticism of the boosters clubs. "These present-day booster clubs have been composed of all the community leaders with whom the professors fraternize and the community leaders from whom they as); school financial support," Knight said. "I played rugby football at Stanford when the game was much smaller and the public in terest much less," he added. "However, I can assure you that if some prominent alumnus had approached me with an offer of modest assistance in my tuition or expenses, I would have told them that this promi nent alumnus was a man of character and standing in the community and that this pro position had the tacit approval of those in authority." And Another Thing ... Attacking another conference order of recent years, Knight said the rule that prohibits a school going to the Rose Bowl two successive years is "un realistic and unsportsmanlike." Last Sunday PCC faculty rep resentatives fined Southern Cali fornia the equivalent of $63,400 and barred the Trojans from the Rose Bowl for two years, and fined California $25,000 and placed the school on a year's probation. Last May, the group fined UCLA the equivalent of $93,000 and barred the Bruins from the Rose Bowl for three years. All Bruin teams were barred from winning a conference champion ship or participating in division conference or NCAA champion ship events. Washington was fined the equivalent of $52,000, barred from the Rose Bowl for ' two years, and its teams were also barred from championship play, Athletic sources said that the NCAA normally accepts deci- PUTS ANY NEW TIRE ON YOUR CAR mdtSn Jill IN TUBELESS ! Medfoi Sports Bulletins Sacramento. Calif. (U.R) Got. Goodwin J. Knight said today he believed the Hose Bowl pact between ths Big Ten and Pacific Coast Con ferences should be scrapped unless they agree to send their best team to the New Year's classic. Chuck Taylor Takes Issue With Knight Stanford, Calif. (U.R) Stan ford football coach Chuck Tay lor today defended the present composition of the Pacific Coast conference in taking issue with Gov. Goodwin J. Knight's "break of the conference" suggestion. Knight, taking note of the heavy penalties levied against the two Southern California members of the conference, UCLA and USC, for violation of the PCC code, said Thursday night he believed a new confer ence should be formed. He pro posed a new conference made up exclusively of California schools. "I don't think a California only conference would be feas ible," Taylor said. "And regardless of what the final outcome of the PCC prob lems will be, I feel sure the con ference will be able to field a representative team for the Rose Bowl game." Tigers, Pointers Score Pee Wee League Triumphs Central Point and Medford Tigers strengthened their re spective holds on No. 1 and No. 2 spots in the pee wee baseball loop yesterday. A three-run third inning made the difference in a 4 to 1 CP win over Eagle Point. The Tigers went an extra inning for the one run which was the margin of difference in a 3 to 2 nod over the Medford Wildcats. Lee Vincent drove in two runs with a three-bagger for Central Point in the . third. Alvarez, pitching a four-hitter for CP, fanned 12 batters and walked none. Geren and Weidman, com bining for a three-hit game, whiffed eight Central Point bat ters and walked seven. The Wildcats were a big threat in their tussle although pitcher Jerry Piland of the Tigers held them to one hit, a single by Steve Isaacs in the second inning. A single, a stolen base and a fielder's option were used by the Tigers in the sixth inning to get the winning run. Ashland took its first win and handed Central Point its second loss Wednesday in the intermedi ate league. Five runs in the first inning did the trick. Two hits, including a three-baser, four walks and an error were used. SHORT SCORES: Pee Wee Gaines R H E Medford Tigers 3 6 2 Medford Wildcats 2 11 PHand and Quinney; Glines and L. Scruggs.
