UCLA Seeks Break From Conference By SCOTT BAILLIE United Pres Sports Writer Berkeley. Calif. W UCLA today sought to break out of the strict Pacific Coast confer ence and Cyril Nigg, Bruin alumni president, said he. was "strongly hopeful" his school will get the green light. "We're strongly hopeful that the board of regents will vote to let us move out of the con ference," Nigg said on the eve of the meeting. "However, I can't say what will happen. We expect President Robert Gordon Sproul to make some kind of proposal but we don't know what it is." The Bruins and the University of California, although worlds apart in football policies, belong to the same statewide institu tion which is governed by one board of regents. Trouble Started Threats of a bolt date back to last summer when the confer ence gridiron scandals broke and UCLA was among four member schools penalized for infractions In the Bruins' case, it included being barred from the Rose Bowl until July of 1959. The latest drive for UCLA to clear out started last month after the PCC refused to allow penalized seniors to play half their games this autumn as was the case with last fall's four year men. The Bruins also bare ly escaped being expelled from the conference, staying in by a vote of 5-4. Nigg proposed the secession which will be studied today. In the meantime, California also is reported to want out, not because of strict athletic code but because the austere Bears feel it is not rigid enough. Lack of Action Chancellor Clark Kerr of the mother campus recently said that Cal might leave the PCC since the conference had not taken any "constructive" action toward clearing up the reasons for past difficulties. Kerr favors greater responsi bility on the institutions, which would have to furnish athletes job records upon request, among other things. Nigg's resolution was sched uled to be discussed by the re gents' Education Policy Commit tee Thursday before it was sub mitted to the full board today. The session was cloaked in secrecy and Sproul unavailable for comment. Last Ditch Effort For Jim Norris New York OP) Defense at torneys were making a last-ditch fight today to prevent Jim Nor ris and partner Arthur Wirtz from being forced out of Madi son Square Garden. In the final session of the boxing-monopoly hearing, they were trying to change the mind of Federal Judge Sylvester Ryan, who apparently believes the remedy to the monopoly is to make Norris and Wirtz dispose of their stock in the Garden Corp. Kenneth C. Royall, former sec retary of war and now head of the defense lawyers, claims such a divestiture would be a "cruel, retroactive punishment" for bus inessmen who thought their con duct of boxing strictly legal until Ryan found them guilty of mo nopoly in March. The monopoly verdict applied only to their con duct of title fights. Must Be Divorce At Friday's session the judge indicated he vould force Norris and Wirtz, controlling stock holders, to dispose of their Gar den holdings "because I person ally feel there must be a divorce ment of Norris, Wirtz and Madi son Square Garden." Norris is president of the Gar den Corp.; Wirtz. a director. The Garden Corp. owns the Interna '. tional Boxing Club ot New YorK. morris and v lriz aiso coniroi me ' Chicago Stadium and its IBC of Illinois. USED WARDEN'S NAME Marquette, Mich.
