0 n O O o feoT !EDFORD (OREGON) FCC May com Commissioner's Office Br SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco (TP) Victor O. Schmidt, commissioner of the warring Pacific Coast conference whose investigation last year led to heavy penalties against UCLA seemed destined today to be stripped of much power. The presidents council of the PCC Sunday indicated that it would go along with four parts of a five-point program which California and UCLA, its branch, wants the group to adopt. This includes leaving the detection of sjthletic code violations up to each of the nine member insti tutions rather than by a commis sion's probe, which now is the case. That is a key function of the commissioner's office. Schmidt rowed with the Bruins during an investigation in March of 1956 when they would not let him on campus to quiz certain athletes. And in addition to being barred from the Rose Bowl for three years, UCLA was fined $15,000 by the conference for barring Schmidt. "The commissioner's duties might or might not be changed," said Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul, who is president of California and chairman of the council. "This will require further dis cussion." Program Considered Point five in the CAL-UCLA program, calling for schools to schedule as many games as they desire outside the PCC, was tak en under advisement. "The council approved in gen O eral the first four points and agreed that decisions to imple ment them should be consider ed by the PCC at the Dec. 1-5 meeting here," Sproul said. "But tha presidents decided that there iiust be further discussions on the round robin before any state ment can be made." UCLA and Southern Californ ia, who were barred from the Rose Bowl for varying periods (along with Washington during the disclosures of 1956, are anx ious to junk the conference slate (80 they can card more intersec tional foes.

United Press Sports Writer Three of post-season football's choicest plums-both berths in the Rose Bowl and the host bid to the Cotton Bowl-may be picked next Saturday but the first bowl bid already has gone to Okla homa. The Big Eight championship and the Orange Bowl berth that goes with it both were nailed down by Oklahoma on Saturday with its 39-14 romp over Mis souri the Sooners' 47th straight win in a record streak and 64th straight league victory. Ohio State, a 20-7 victor over Purdue, can nail down the Big Ten title by beating Iowa this week for one Rose Bowl spot and the other will go to Oregon if it can whip Southern California. Texas A&M, the nation's No. 1 team with a 19-6 win over South ern Methodist on Saturday night, can officially clinch the South west Conference crown and the host bid to the Cotton Bowl by beating Rice.

PGA Considers Titular Match Long Beach, Calif. RH The national convention of the Pro fessional Golfer's Association got under way here today with three major issues on the agenda. Most important appeared to be a conjroversy raging over whether the match-play PGA championship should be changed to a 72-hole medal affair, or retained as is. Loss of money on the tournament has caused many to propose that it bejehanged to a medal event. However, strong op position is expected to arise. There also is talk of setting up disciplinary action committees to take charge of men who "step out of bounds" and damage the PGA's reputation. Another thing under consider ation is the style for selection of the Ryder Cup committee. Due to the loss to the British team this year, this has come under heavy fire and strong action may be taken to revamp the point system. The meeting will last through Friday, with 80 delegates and about 70 other professionals par ticipating.

Monti tanked a 10-foot putt on the last hole to gain a tie then lost to a birdie on the third play-off hole. "It all came with a change in putters," said Sifford. '"After I three-putt a flock of greens in a tournament two weeks ago, I de cided to change putters. Then Thelma Cowans, the Women's National Negro champion, gave me a putting lesson. It paid off for me this time." For second place, Monti got $1100. There was a six-way tie for third between Al Besselink.
