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

St. Louis, 82-81, in a twin bill at

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."

New York 4U.R) Buddy
Parker, whose Detroit Lions fin

winding up last in 1955, today
was named 'National Football
League "Coach of the Year" in
the annual United Press poll.
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

pionship game, many observers
picked Parker's club to finish

give the impression that there

that a relationship exists be

Then they stated that they are
in agreement with a report from
a group of meteorologists as

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."

It was only a few months ago
that Carter was appointed the
PGA tournament bureau chief.
Then the other night he present
ed a program of strict super
vision for the professionals to
follow. They liked it so much
that they agreed to give him
czar-like powers to enforce it.
The program called for s sched
ule of fines, including $100 for
breaking a golf club in anger,
$500 for failure of a player to
defend his championship, etc.
"They gave me the power to
enforce the fines and told me I
can ban any one not paying the
fines," says Carter, "so I guess !
they like the idea. i
"Some of the people think we !
may be taking the color out of
the golf game by fining fellows
for breaking clubs or swearing.
But there always will be color
in golf.
Plenty of Color

anything like that to have color.

moment he joins the tour."
Carter wants to handle the
PGA tour as if it were a big
business corporation which it
is. The men will play for $1,
150,000 in 1957 the biggest pot
in history.
"We are in the entertainment
