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

Proposes
meeting next Tuesday to recon
sider fines and penalties against
schools charged with violating
the conference codes.
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 con
ference found in the cases of
UCLA, Southern California,
Washington and California cer
tain aid was not handled by the

schools but either by outside
booster groups or athletic of
ficials personally.
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,

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.

Tiger Owner
Choice Due
On Monday
Detroit (U.R) The new
owner of the Detroit Tigers will
be selected next Monday by the
club's board of directors, but the
decision is merely a formality.
. Three of the Tigers' six direc
tors President Walter O.
(Spike) Briggs, Secretary and
Business Manager' Harry Sisson
and Treasuner Charles T. Fisher
made up an executive com
mittee which was handed the
task of screening eight multimillion-dollar
bids and recom
mending which one should be
accepted.
They made their decision
Thursday, and since they com
prise half of the director mem
bership, their recommendation
is expected to be approved by
the board without a hitch.
Pared To Eight
Even before the committee
met to single out which bid it
felt should be accepted, the field
had been pared down from eight
syndicates to four.
Those four are headed by Bill
Veeck, the former executive of
the Cleveland Indians and St.
Louis Browns; Toronto sports
man Jack Kent Cooke; Holly
wood movie producer Robert
Goldstein and Fred Knorr, Dear
