PCC Votes to Increase Athlete Requirements; Penalties Upheld r San Francisco (U R) The Pacific Coast Conierence, appar ently ignoring its recent poor Rose Bowl record, voted Thurs day to increase the scholastic re quirements for athletes. The conference fathers, com posed of presidents,. faculty rep resentatives and athletic direct ors of the nine member schools, voted to require a "C" grade average for athletes and to in crease the number of units they must carry in the off-season. Additionally the representa tives at the winter meeting voted unanimously to uphold penal ties already levied against four member schools for permitting excessive financial aid to ath letes. However, at the first session of the two-day winter meeting the fathers considered only four points of a new 10-point code proposed by the presidents' council last month and. made no announcements on changes in the regulations to permit addi tional financial aid to athletes. Proposed Cod The proposed code offered in creased money aid for athletes but proposed more stringent pun ishment for offenders. The group approved unani mouly a change that called for athletes to maintain a "C" grade average for approximately 28 semester or 42 quarter units be tween seasons of competition and in 12 units while competing. The code provision previously did not ' mention a specified (trade average and required only the taking of 24 semester or 36 quarterly units between seasons. The requirement on 12 units dur- ing the competitive seasons has not changed.

Lakers Fail To Escape League Cellar By united press A last minute basket by George Yardley of the Fort Wayne Pis tons proved the stumbling block for the Minneapolis Lakers' ef forts to escape the Western Di vision cellar in the National Bas ketball Assn. The Lakers, who could have vacated the basement with a vic tory at Fort Wayne Thursday night, led by as much as 19 points during the second quarter but blew that margin by the end of the third quarter. With 25 sec onds remaining, the blond, bald ing Yardley scored from under neath the ; basket to give Fort Wayne a 104-102 victory. Yardley had 33 points to lead the Pistons and Bob Houbregs added 22, while Clyde Lovellette tallied 24 for the Lakers. In other games Thursday night, the New York Knickerbockers successfully defended third place in the East against the Syracuse Nationals, 126-111, and the Phila delphia Warriors rallied to nip St. Louis, 82-81, in a twin bill at Madison Square Garden. LC Rated for Hoop Crown Portland (U.R) The North west Conference kicks off its 1957 basketball campaign this week end with Lewis and Clark rating the edge as the biggest title threat in the loop. Defending champion College of Idaho, without the services of talented R. C. Owens, appears to be down considerably this year and last year's two runner ups, Linfield and Pacific, have lacked consistent scoring ability in pre season tilts. Lewis and Clark, 8-4 for the pre-season schedule, lacks only one man from last year's club. Also receiving mention as a possible contender, is Willam ette, fifth in the six-team field a year ago and 5-3 so far this year. The Bearcats boast a vet eran lineup like the . Pioneers. Pacific. 2-6, this far in the year, get the first chance to knock off the Pioneers. They meet in a league opener Satur day. The rest of the field waits until the following Friday be fore risking a counting loss. Linfield holds a 5-4 mark to date, better than College of Idaho's humble 2-6 or Whit man's 2-4 effort thus far into the season. Is That So? 'Editor's Note: Upon two preced ing Fridays. Ranger Burns presented Dr. Irving- Benzelsdorf's copyrighted article In The Saturday Review on the effects H-bombs may possibly--have on our weather. Today, he re ports the reaeUon of three West' Coast scientists to these articles.) "Maybe; but we dont think so!" was the reaction of three Scientists to Dr. Irving Bengels dorf's suggestion that radio-active fallout of nuclear explosions possibly may be accenting the severity of our weather. Arnold Court, University of California lecturer in geogra phy, , went to some length to point out that the weather of the past decade has not been so "unusual." "Last winter's extreme rains in northern California, to which Dr. Bengelsdorf alludes, do not fall outside the range of extreme variations we've had in the past." . Early Records Referring to early meteorolog ical records. Court said: "Long before there was any H-bomb fallout, floods in these same areas were so bad in 1861 that one could sail a boat from Sac ramento to Madera over the Central valley. Much worse than last winter's floods'. "And speaking of weather re versals (which Dr. Bengelsdorf did) old timers refer to the year 1816 as the year without a sum mer. "So, on the basis of unseasona ble weather and weather rever sals, I would object to Dr. Ben gelsdorf's fundamental premise." However, Court admitted: "Dr. Bengelsdorf's basic point is sound in saying that the explo sions of H-bombs with their ra dioactive fallout might possibly have an effect. But who knows? "Certainly it is true that we live in a universe which is in delicate balance," he stated. "A slight change in some factors may cause other changes. Carbon Dioxide "For example, the burning of coal and oil has increased t'.ie amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by two or three times. And man has done other things to increase or decrease certain natural factors: he has deforested some areas and plant ed others. He has drained lakes and swamps and dammed wa ters and created new lakes. "If a fly lights -on a cable of the . Golden Gate bridge the bridge will sag ever so slightly, whether it's measureable or not. And so, I'd say, the real question is whether the effects of the H bomb are as great in influencing the weather as is claimed by Dr. Bengelsdorf." Two Stanford university scien tists. Dr. W. A. Perkins of the Aerosol laboratory of the Stan ford Chemistry department, and F. S.

Parker, whose Lions, lost-the Western Division title to the Chicago Bears by a half-game, received nine votes in balloting by 23 sports writers who cover ed the 1956 campaign in the various league cities. Jim Lee Howell, who guided the New York Giants to their first Eastern Division title in 10 years and their first league championship in 18, was runner up with six votes. Joe Kuharich, who kept the Washington Redskins in the Eastern race until the final week of the season, was third in the voting with five ballots. Ray Richards of the Chicago Cardinals drew four votes and the other went to Paddy DrlscolL who guided the Chicago Bears to the Western Division crown in his first season as the team's head coach. The Lions compiled a' 9-3 rec ord last season after finishing last in 1955 with a 3-9 mark. After the poor 1955 season, which followed the 56-10 thump ing Detroit took from the Cleve land Browns in the 1954 cham pionship game, many observers picked Parker's club to finish in the cellar again in 1936. But the 1956 Lions, relying on the defensive strength that has made Parker one of pro football's most successful coach es, were in the thick of the West- The first U.S. automobile road race was between Chicago and Libertyville in 1895, a 100 mile round trip course. y EUGiNE BURNS . Rsmftr-NarvraHit of the American Meteorological society, - pointed out that Dr. Bengelsdorf's article states that his discussion was "frankly spec ulative" . . . "but unfortunate ly," they added, "the articles give the impression that there is a reasonable probability that a relationship exists be tween unusual weather phenom ena and nuclear explosions . . ." Then they stated that they are in agreement with a report from a group of meteorologists as signed by the National Academy of Science to study this problem and this report concluded with the statement: "Although it is impossible to prove that nuclear explosions have or have not influenced the weather, it is believed that such an effect is unlikely."
