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.

probations at the conclusion of

Jerry Donovan
Hired by Giants
San Francisco TP Horace
Stoneham moved into his second
day of residency in San Fran
cisco today with new and fast-
moving plans for the future oi
the Giants.
Stoneham was expected to ex
plain plans at an afternoon
press conference.
Stoneham set the pace Tues
day when he:
T r a d e d his Minneapolis
American association franchise
to the Boston Red Sox for the
San Francisco Seals franchise in
the Pacific Coast league.
Hired Jerry Donovan, for
the past two years president of
the Seals in the Red Sox chain,
to work for him in an undis
closed capacity.
Tickets Sought
Received a bundle of 600
season ticket applications from
the Seals headquarters.
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."

Raiders Gird
For OTI Tilt
On Saturday
Ashland Southern Oregon
college football Red Raiders re-
turn to the home turf of Fuller
field this Saturday night for Ore
gon Collegiate conference action.
They battle the Oregon Techni
cal institute Owls who now hold
down first position in the OCC.
Saturday contention will mark
renewal of one of the hottest ri
valries in the Oregon small col
lege loop. Coach Al Akins of the
Raiders said he expects one of
the toughest loop frays of the
1957 campaign. The skirmish
with the Owls could prove the
decider in the chase for the OCC
title.
Oregon Tech firmed its grip on
the loop lead last week end with
a 19 to 6 win over Eastern Ore
gon college while Southern Ore
gon bowed into the race by nos
ing Portland State college. This
Saturday the Raiders will aim to
even the score for a 27 to 20 set
back at the hands of the Owls in
1956.
Akins Pleased
The Raiders resumed drills
yesterday to prep for OTI. South
ern Oregon's crew, like many
through the country, is having
its trials with illnesses flu and
colds.
Although the Raiders could
make their passing attack click
against Portland State on the
Lincoln high mud flat. Coach
Akins stated that he was pleased
with SOC's overall performance
in the conference opener.
Southern Oregon's defense was
its strong point as it held the
Vikings for downs on five oc
casions. The Raiders dominated
the statistic table by running up
203 yards to 114 for PSC. Ron
Maurer, slashing, crashing full
back, paced the SOC offense
with 116 yards in 16 yard and
the 58-yard slog for the Raider
touchdown.

Heath, 44, resigned last week
as field manager after serving
two seasons with the Solons. He
managed the Seals from 1952
through 1955.
Clyde Perkins, executive vice
president of the Beavers who
announced the appointment, said
he believed the combination gen
eral manager-manager job was
a new trend in baseball.
Heath comes to Portland at a
time when the future of the
PCL is in doubt because of the
transfer west of the New York
Giants to San Francisco and
Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Ang
eles. He takes over the manager's
job formerly held by Bill Pose
del, who resigned after the Bea
vers finished last in the 1957
season. As general manager,
Heath replaces Joe Ziegler.

Vacation Results
Memphis, Tenn. (IP) The
Rev. 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. "Finally,
he just sent us checks for our
plane tickets."

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.
