Washington State Quintet Edges Idaho Vandals 73-70 By UNITED PRESS The University of Idaho Van dals, now parked firmly in the Pacific Coast conference basket ball .basement, have definitely seen better days. On the opening week end of conference play, the Vandals caused quite a sensation by play ing the champion UCLA Bruins right down to the buzzer in a pair of hair-raisers. They lost each game by a single point, one in double-overtime and they haven't been able to win one since. Tuesday night, the Vandals were rapped for their fifth straight defeat by Washington State as the Cougars came up with their first conference vic tory, 73-70.

All-Coast center at UCLA whose football career in the Pacific Coast conference ended with his junior year un der a conference ban, has writ ten the University of Miami, Fla., to determine if he might have a year of eligibility there. Matheny is one of more than a half-dozen UCLA players who lost a season's eligibility under a PCC penalty for receiving "under the table" financial aid. Matheny was a junior last sea son and under the ruling, has completed his eligibility in the conference. Several UCLA players banned by the PCC have written to var ious schools around the country to see if they could get in any more playing time. Eyes Canadian Offer "If I can't make such a trans fer and play, then I'll consider an offer from Canadian foot ball." Matheny said Tuesday. The husky center said he also had written Oklahom and Tex as. He said Coach Bud Wilkin son of Oklahoma answered him saying Oklahoma was forced, as a "member of the Big Seven con ference to respect and abide by the PCC ruling. Neither Miami nor Texas has answered yet, Matheny said. UCLA Athletic Director Wil bur Johns said he doubted whether any school belonging to the NCAA would grant a year's eligibility to a player who had lost it by action of a conference member of the NCAA. Miami belongs to the NCAA, Johns pointed out. SUMMER TAN ROMPS Hialeah. Fla. U.R1 Summer Tan. who B in training for the Hialeah park meeting, apparent ly can't wait for his next race. Mrs. John W.

Fresno State came up with its first win of the year to shatter San Jose liopes for a firm hold on the CftA ndmber two spot. With the sccie tied at 75-75, Gil Egeland mined a layup that would have iceil the game from the Spartans with 50 seconds remaining.

The Gaels ran up a 36-12 flead in 10 minutes and substituted freely through out the game. Art Aragon Indicted by Grand Jury Los Angeles (U.R) Welter weight boxer Art (Golden Boy) Aragon, indicted by the Los Angeles county grand jury on charges of conspiring to "fix" a fight, said today his trial would give him a chance to be "publicly exonerated." Aragon, charged with con spiring to "fix" a bout in San Antonio, Tex., last Dec. 18, sur rendered himself an hour after his indictment Tuesday and was released on SI. 000 bail. He has termed the charges as "ridicu lous." Alleged Conspiracy The indictment was returned here because the alleged con spiracy in which Aragon's op ponent. Dick Goldstein, charged he was to get S500 to "take a dive" originated in Los Angeles. Aragon backed out of the fight of the alleged "fix" and declared he did not intend to go through with it. Both Aragon and Goldstein were suspended by the Texas commission, with Aragon's suspension being for an indefinite period.

' Incorrect Score Will Disqualify Amateur Golfer New York U.R The U.S. Golf association today reversed the ruling it made in two cham pionships last year and restored its old penalty of automatic dis qualification for a player posting a wrong score. Jackie Burk-e of Kiamesha Lake, N.Y., Gil Cavanaugh of Cedarville, N.Y., and Betsy Rawls of ' Spartanburg, ' .C, were permitted to remain in USGA tournaments in 1956 aft er they had accidentally posted incorrect scores for a hole. In its new ruling, the USGA said: "The penalty of disqualifica tion may be waived or modified only under the most extraordi-! nary circumstances. Rule 38-2 makes the competitor solely re sponsible for the correctness of the score recorded for each hole. It is a simple matter to dis-; charge this responsibility and ! the penalty, although severe, j can easily be avoided." !
