Ward May Be Ruled
Pro by Golf Group
San Francisco (U.R) Hand
some Harvey Ward's status as
an amateur golfer is in doubt.
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.
