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.
In California Basketball as
sociation play, the Fresno State
Bulldogs defeated San Jose
State, 79-75 in overtime, to drop
the Spartans back into third
place. Second place St. Mary's
mauled Sacramento State, 91
49. in a non-conference game.
Close To Wire
The Washington Slate-Idaho
game was a close one right down
to the wire. The Cougars led at
halftime, 37-36. and the Vandals
tied it up in the final minutes,
64-64, but Larry Beck came up

Los Angeles (U.R) ' Jim
Matheny. 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.

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 miss gave the
Bulldogs an opportunity to do
the damage in the overtime per

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.
Brenner Offered
Post at Salem
Salem (U.R) Bill Brenner,
who finished out last season as
manager of the Seattle Rainiers
of the Pacific Coast league, has
been offered the managerial job
of the Salem Senators of the
Northwest league.
Brenner was one of 10 appli
cants for the Salem Vacancy,
created when Hugh Luby left
to become manager at Eugene.
A spokesman for a stockholders
committee said Brenner was ex
pected to announce his decision
from Seattle soon. . '
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." !

times sweeter than the conven- i
tional varieties of the cane or j
beet sugar.
