Ward and his employer, wealthy San Francisco auto deal er Ed Lowery, have both denied that Lowery ever paid "under the table" expense money to the nation's top non-professional golfer. But the United " States Golf association . took, a different view. Stuart Heatley,' member of the USGA's executive board, said the rule is clear regarding expenses paid amateurs. The ruckus started when Low ery, charged with evading state income taxes, told a grand jury that "I paid all the expenses" when he took Ward to Ontario, Canada and Detroit to play in amateur events. Payment Wat Reward Grand jury testimony also dis closed an $11,000 loan by Low ery to the golf champion. "I didn't do anything illegal," said Lowery, himself a former board member of the USGA. "I paid Harvie's expenses, but that was a reward for the fine work he did for me in the auto business." "Sure I borrowed the $11,000 but it was only a loan,". snapped Ward. "Furthermore, part of it has been paid back and I'm still paying on it." Red - faced, and -near tears, Ward denied that he ever had received expense money from the wealthy auto dealer, then in the same breath, admitted he played in the Walker Cup matches "as Lowery's guest." However, he said, part of the expenses were paid by the USGA. Heatley said "there isno ques tion that if expenses were taken care of by Lowery as an em ployer, Harvie has breached his amateur standing. The rule is clear."

PCC Penalties May Be Eased For Schools Lbs Angeles-JtU-R)- The Paci fic Coast conference commis sioner's office revealed today that the conference will consid er "easing" the eligibility ruling penalties against UCLA and Southern California football players at its spring meeting in Spokane, Wash., May 19-23. The PCC last spring penalized all UCLA and SC football play ers of the schools' 1955 varsity and freshman squads a year's eligibility for accepting under-the-table, payments from boost er clubs. The ruling bars all junior members of the 1956 squads from further play. In its agenda for the Spokane meeting the PCC disclosed that among the items up for consid eration was "a suggestion that a half-season of eligibility be re stored to those various student athletes who had been penalized a full season of eligibility for involvement in programs of un authorized aid." The conference last summer took similar action to modify the edict in order to permit sen iors to play a half season. How ever, no mention was made of the juniors who under the rul ing used up their eligibility dur ing the 1956 season.
