o - ;CISHT WEDFORD (OREGON) ndiana, West Virginia Slapped ifilh Year of Probation by NCAA Xansas City TP Indiana &tiA West Virginia, the latest 38"ools to run afoul of new "gct toujh"' National Collegiate Ath letic association policies, today f-de clear they consider their 0-year probations a major Indiana Athletic Director jfrank E. Allen reacted to the NCAA penalty by comparing his team to a stricken fighter, "floor ed twice," but "still with a chance to win." Allen said other jirhools have come back '"to win"' ,nd "this Indiana will do." The Hoosiers' first blow was the suspension of its new foot ball coach, Phil Dickens, last July. The former Tennessee grid star transferred from Wyoming in January. Dickens' suspension followed the revelation of illeg al offers of vacation transporta tion money and "incidental ex penses" allowances of S50 a month to about a dozen pros pective athletes. The suspension, effected by the university, was the result of Big Ten pressure. Findings Czlled "Unjust" At Morgantown, W. Va., uni versity President Irvin Stewart said he felt the probation, im posed following findings of the NCAA's infractions committee, ftas "unjust." Stewart said the violation, in volving a fabled Kentucky prep basketball player, did not com prise an infraction in his op inion since a person not con nected with the university did certain things without the knowledge of the university. He said further that West Virginia declined to accept the prospec tive athlete, identified as Kelly Coleman. The youth would now have been a second-year student. Coleman who shattered virtu ally all Kentucky high school scoring records, was not accept ed because of low scholastic marks.

The Minneapolis-San Francis co swap was for the franchises and territories, only, with the Giants tossing in a bundle of cash. The Giants will transfer their Minneapolis players to Seal contracts, and the Red Sox will take their Seal farm-hands to Minneapolis. "We hope to operate the Seals at some new site in the Pacific Coast league," said Stoneham. "I don't know the city yet, but we will go where- ever the PCL wants us to." meeting here, said Indiana's vi olation was considered "far greater." The body, however, charged that a West Virginia "friend and booster" offered and gave aid to the athlete "with the knowledge" of a university representative in contradiction to Stewart's com ment. The NCAA said the aid was in the form of the use of an automobile and gasoline credit card during the spring and sum mer of 1956 and periodic gifts including cash. The probation does not rule the schools out of any events, but serves as a warning. NCAA Executive Director Walter Byers, in revealing the probations, said the action meant both schools' athletic programs will be under "close scrutiny." The NCAA will review the pro bations prior to the expiration date of Oct. 15, 1958. Byers said unless Indiana and West Vir ginia operate under complete accordance with NCAA regula tions, the council would recom mend expulsion."

James Elder and his fam ily got an all-expense vacation in California from a man who didn't take the Methodist min ister's advice. Elder, his wife and two chil dren were flown to Hollywood as guests of the Randy Wood family. The Woods and the Elders became friends some years back when Elder was pastor of First Methodist Church in Gallatin, Tenn. "Randy and I were fishing buddies," Elder said. "One day he asked me what I thought about an idea he had for selling records by advertising over WLAC (Nashville, Tenn.) radio station. He could get some spot announcements for S30 each." Elder recalled telling Wood that "I thought it was 'opera tion rat-hole.'" Elder said Wood was the "only member of my congrega tion who ever asked my busi ness advice. "I gave it to him. he ignored it, and became a millionaire." "I now confine my advice to religious matters," Elder added. The minister said Wood ig nored his advice and "went ahead with his idea and built up the largest mail order record business in the country." Wood headed Dot Records. He sold it some months ago to Paramount Pictures for an esti mated $3,000,000 and was held on to run the firm. Wood sent plane tickets for Mr. and Mrs. Elder, and their children, Ronnie, 18, and Alice, 10. "He had been asking us for a long time to come out and visit them," Elder said.

Railway Snowsheds Fast Disappearing Sacramento, Calif. (IP) The smoke-blackened snowshed, a familiar sight to the western rail road traveler, is giving way to modern methods. The sheds were erected over i the major portion of 41 miles of I Southern Pacific track extending along a tortuous course through ; the Blue Canyon of the High Sierra. The dirty wooden structures : cut on ine traveler s view ior most of his trip, but they kept him from being snowbound. In their time they were regarded as an engineering marvel. Their construction was begun in the spring of 1868 when six to eight feet of snow was still along the right-of-way. It took 2,500 workmen and 900 tons of bolts and spikes to finish the job, one of the great pioneer building feats. Oldtime railroaders will tell you that the marooning of the city of San Francisco in 1952 could not have happened had the old sheds been in their place. Now construction crews are replacing the ancient, sooty shel ters with prefabricated concrete and only five miles of the wood en sheds remain. - In another decade "the Sierra snow galleries" may become just another part of railroad history along with other traditions of the gas light era.
