Blackmail Charged In State Meeting Los Angeles a? A state as-1 chance of getting a measure sembly subcommittee investigat- passed allowing his seniors to ing intercollegiate athletics to- plav football. day launched into the second session of a three-day hearing in the wake of charges that a Pa cific Coast Conference school used "blackmail" to keep other conference schools from voting to allow ineligible seniors at UCLA to play. UCLA Coach Henry (Red) Sanders charged Monday in the opening day of the hearing that he was told at the conference meeting last year in Spokane that there was no Arizona Gridiron Hopes Rest Upon Attack of Future Tuscon. Ariz. 'IP Univer sity of Arizona's hopes for a winning season rest on a hand ful of standout veterans and an "offense of the future" that may be as daring as any in the na tion. Ed Doherty, the new coach, who by nature shies away from optimism, figures that lack of both depth and speed are major problems to be solved if the Wildcats are to improve on their 1956 record of four wins and six losses. Wildcat fans couldn't believe their eyes when the Arizona footballers displayed the Doher version of the "slot-T" in spring practice. The quarterback handled the ball at least twice on some plays while others involved blind pitches and complex lateral pass es. Doherty says, however, that he has to "cut back" on offen sive maneuvers at least for the start of the season because of inadequate reserves. The Wildcats actually have fairly good backfield depth compared to a scarcity of line talent beyond the first string That number one unit is anch ored by All-Border conference guard Ed Brown, a senior, and Marty Hurd, who shifted to cen ter from guard. Hurd is a 220- pounder. The Schedule: Sept. 21 Brigham .Young; Sept. 28 at Missouri: Oct. 12 at Colorado; Oct. 19 New Mex ico; Oct. 26 Texas Tech; Nov. 2 West Texas State; Nov. 9 Hardin-Simmons; Nov. 16 Tex as Western; Nov. 23 Marquette; Nov. 30 At Arizona (Tempe) State. 'e went to the meeting hopeful of being allowed to play our seniors at least in half the games as was the case in 1956," Sanders said. '"But anoth er coach told me before the ses sions that his school would have to vote against the seniors or have support of the round-robin schedule withdrawn. I regard that as plain blackmail." Sanders didn't identify the coach or the school assertedly applying the pressure. Nine seniors of the 1957 UCLA team were declared in eligible by the PCC for accept ing illegal financial aid. The con ference originally had taken a year's eligibility away from all UCLA players for three years but last season allowed seniors to play in five games. Assemblyman Frank Bo nelli (D-Huntlngton Park) asked Sanders if UCLA could continue in intercollegiate athletics with PCC membership. Sanders re plied: "I don't see how the confer ence itself can continue as things are now. We have existed the past couple of years in a cli mate of jealousy, intrigue and venom. The PCC must abolish its arjehaic code or abandon football." The subcommittee will con clude the hearing Wednesday. Bonelli, chairman of the group called the hearing to obtain in formation on whether formation of a California intercollegiate athletic commission would bene fit California schools. Beaver Head Leaves Club Portland, Ore. OP) William Posedel resigned Monday as the manager of the Portland Beav ers.
