Southern California Appeal Turned Down New Orleans - (UP& - The NCAA made plans today to appoint a "select committee" to study possibilities of a na tional letter of intent and all phases 67 the recruiting and financial aid program of U.S. colleges. The NCAA council, which voted to form the committee at its annual three-day spring meeting in New Orleans, will pick members for the commit tee from college presidents, faculty and athletic directors. The national letter of in tent has many proponents, said Walter Byers, NCAA ex ecutive director. He reported most of the Southeastern con ference coaches are strong ad vocates of it. "Many people think such a letter of intent would elim inate last-minute recruiting," Byers said. Proponents of the national letter of intent believe it would prevent one school from signing an athlete, only to have another school lure him away. Byers said the study of re cruiting and financial aid did not mean anything was wrong with present rules and regula tions governing those matters. New Orleans-(UPD-The Uni versity of Southern California and Georgia State Teachers College have felt the sting of NCAA disciplines, and other schools charged with athletic infractions may be dealt with today. . The 18-member policy-di recting NCAA council, which ends its three-day spring meet ing in New Orleans today, Tuesday rejected "USC's ap peal to have NCAA-imposed penalties reduced. The Cali fornia school was charged last Jan. 7 with illegal re cruiting practices while it al ready was on two-year proba tion for illegal aid to athletes. Georgia State Teachers, which resigned last March while the NCAA infractions ommittee was investigating the school, is charged with permitting two athletes to play inter-collegjate basket ball after they had signed pro fessional baseball contracts. Walter Byers, NCAA execu tive director, said member in stitutions would be advised of Georgia State's failure to abide by NCAA rules and urged not to compete against teams from that college. Dr. Norman Topping, USC president, received the NCAA ruling with "a deep sense of disappointment." USC has been placed on two-year probation and barred from participation in all NCAA championship events for the first year of the pro bation. It also is outlawed from appearing in any televi sion events which are NCAA controlled. Byers said the council to day is studying other cases received 'from the infractions committee. The schools in volved have not been named, but he reported cases are pending against 16 other col lege or universities.

Kentucky Derby Entries Dwindle Following Trial Races Held on Tuesday By RAY AYRES Louisville, Ky.- (UPD -What once looked like a record field for the 85th running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday shaped up with only 16 start ers today following victories by Open View and First Land ing in divisions of the Derby Trial Tuesday. Open View raced to a head victory in the first section of the split stakes while First Landing scored by a full length in the second, discour aging several of the horses which chased them home. Out came Cain Hoy Stable's Hoist Away, Bernmattar, jointly owned by G. M. Holt singer and Doug Davis Jr., and Llangollen Farm's Mosby, who finished sixth, seventh and eighth behind Open View. And after Master Palynclj trailed First Landing in the second section trainer Elmer Kalensky picked up from the jockeys' quarters the silks of owners Ben Hatskin and Sam Sair. Steno Bill, the only horse Master Palynch beat, never was considered a Derby starter. In addition to Open View and First Landing, that left Silver Spoon, Easy Spur, Sword Dancer, Tomy Lee, Finnegan, Troilus, Our Dad, Atoll, Royal Orbit, Dunce, The Chosen One, John Bruce, Rico Tesio and Quantrell still in America's glamor race First Landing's clocking of 1:36 1-5 in the Trial failed to match the 1:35 3-5 of Open View - third fastest in the history of the race. Neverthe less First Landing loomed as probable favorite for the Rose Run, although he may be bet ter than 2-1 at post time. Tomy Lee loomed as second choice behind First Landing with Sword Dancer third. But the betting was expected to be widespread for John Bruce and Our Dad were full of run in the stretch in one section of the Trial while Finnegan and Rico Tesio made big moves in the straight-away in the other.
