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.
Sproul said that USC has
(adopted a program which "paral
lels ours."

Crater Crunches Viks
In Football Finale
Central Point Crater high
jumped off to an early lead and
was never seriously endangered
Saturday night as it wound up
its 1957 grid campaign with a
38 to 13 non-league verdict over
Myrtle Creek.
It was the fourth victory of
the season for the Comets who
tied and lost three over the
route. The losses all were in the
A-l Southern Oregon confer
ence. Crater held quarterly leads
of 13 to 0, 25 to 7 and 31 to 13.
It had a 25 to 0 margin before
the Vikings crossed the goal for
the first time.
A fumble recovery was turned
into a 36-yard drive for the
Comets' first touchdown. Seven
plays were required and a pass,
Wayne Allen to Jerry Kime took
care of the last four yards. Bob
Fowler ran over the extra point.
Gossett Scores
A 68-yard push got the next
TD with Lee Gossett scoring
from two yards out. An Allen
to Kime aerial covered 30 of the
yards and Gossett had one gain
of 16 yards. In the second quar
ter Crater moved 56 yards to
the goal with Kerman Bennett
slipping over left tackle and
rambling 32 yards to the end
zone after Allen had picked up
13 on a keeper.
Dennis Pfaff passed to Roscoe
Day for 20 yards and the fourth
touchdown. Crater had moved
within scoring distance when
Allen romped for 24 yards from
fake punt formation.
Myrtle Creek scored in the
second quarter on a 57-yard
campaign. Ten plays were used
with a Jim Murray to Eddie
Cearley pass going for 25 yards.
Murray crossed on a keeper from
four yards out and Wes David
son kicked the bonus.
Cearley Runs 45
Crater marched 63 yards off
the second half kick-off. The
Allen to Kime pass combination
connected for a 44-yard gain.
Gossett scored on a one yard
plunge. Cearley ran 45 yards
on a punt return for the MC sec
ond half TD.
Bennett returned a Viking
punt 63 yards to the MC 12 in
the fourth quarter, Allen hurl
ed to Fowler for a touchdown
and Allen kicked the conversion.
Crater was knocking at the door
as the game ended.
The Comets led in total net
yardage with 399 on 267 rush
ing and 132 passing. Myrtle
Creek rushed for 99 and passed
for 82 for 181 net.
Van Shines
For LA Pros
Los Angeles (IP) An elated
Sid Gillman credited both the
offensive and defensive Los An
geles Ram lines today for their
stirring 37-24 win over the San
Francisco Forty Niners but
agreed the individual praise be
longed to Norm Van Brocklin.
"Both of our teams did a great
job." Gillman said, "and it was
our greatest defensive game, but
the Old Dutchman was hot."
Before an astounding crowd of
102,365 at Memorial Coliseum
Saturday, Dutch threw two
touchdown passes to Bob Boyd
and hit on a total of 14 out of
23 tosses for 224 yards.
The attendance figures sur
passed the previous NFL record
of 93,751 set by the Rams here
in 1953 against the Detroit Lions
and also eclipsed the pro foot
ball record of 95,985 for a Rams
Washington Redskin exhibition
game here in 1951.

First downs were 15 for Cra
ter and 12 for the Vikings.
Only 18 players made the
trip to Central Point for the
Vikings.

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

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. RUSSIAN WINS TITLE
Teheran, Iran (IP) Victor Bu
shuev scored Russia's third

Sunday when he won the light

Sifford Cops
Golf Toga at
Long Beach
By HAL WOOD
Long Beach, Calif. (IP) A V
new putter and a putting lesson
from a feminine golfer today
had Charles Sifford of Philadel
phia in the records as the first
Negro in history ever to win a
major golf tournament in the
United States.
Sifford, a 34-year-old profes
sional who sporadically follows
the golfing trail, beat the tal
ented Eric Monti in a play-off
for the $11,500 Long Beach Open
championship Sunday before
6,000 fans.
Sifford fired a seven-under-par
64 on the final round to
catch the 36-hole leaders and win
the 54-hole tourney with a 10-under-par
203. 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.
