MAY LOSE POST-Phil Dick ens, above, of University of Indiana, may be the first prominent football coach to lose his job in 1960 as the result of the school's new re cruiting scandal.

The NCAA council announc ed in Atlanta, Ga., that it had placed Indiana on probation for four years for violating football recruiting rules. The action means that In diana cannot participate in any NCAA-sanctioned televi sion, post-season or special events during the probation ary period. The NCAA said the new in fractions involved six foot ball players. Five of the viol ations, it said, occurred in 1958 when Indiana was on a one-year probation as a re sult of similar offenses. The sixth violation was in 1959, the NCAA said. Infractions committee chair man George H. Young of Wis consin reported that four of the six violations involved representatives of alumni of Indiana who offered excessive aid to prospective football prospects. None of the players ever enrolled at Indiana. t .: 4 it , ,MJi SPORTS Medford, Crater Clash on Friday SOUTHERN OREGON CONFERENCE STANDINGS W. L. Pet.

The 22-year-old kid brother of the New York Giants' Lin don Crow indicated after he signed Wednesday that play ing college football was get ting just too expensive. Family Responsibilities "My decision to play pro fessional football was not an easy one to make," Crow said. "Only because of growing family responsibilities do I find it necessary to take ad vantage of a professional op portunity. Crow, married ana tne father of a seven-months-old boy, was the number eight draft selection of the Chicago Cardinals in 1959. He also had been California Coach Marv Levy's choice to operate as a halfback this coming season Coach John Kovenz said that Bob Qulnney may be at third base, Dick Ragsdale at shortstop and Ray Stewart at second base. Cal Dean, regu lar shortstop, and Ray Kono pasek, regular second sacker, are with the high school choir which left today for concerts at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Willamette univer sity in Salem and North Eu gene High school. The choir may return prior to game time but Kovenz said that, even so, the two regular infielders probably would not start against the Comets. He pointed to the fatiguing trip. Ragsdale has been at third base as a regular lately after duty in the outfield. Quinney has seen duty in the outfield, at first base and on the pitch ing mound. Stewart is an in field reservist. Kovenz indicated that the Tornado pitching choice for the Crater game is between Jerry Anderson and Herb Wheeler with the one not starting Friday to be the selec tion for the league game at Ashland on Saturday. Bill An- horn is the pick of Comet Coach Bill Piche to hurl against the Tornado. Other league action this week will have Ashland at Klamath Falls on Friday and Grants Pass at Klamath on Saturday. Medford's Satur day appearance at Ashland will be for a twlnbill. Crater will have a single non-league fuss at Yreka, Calif., on Sat urday. In the SO circuit, Medford seeks to keep a spotless rec ord and Klamath to keep in close contention for the dia dem. Crater, Ashland and Grants Pass strive to improve on their records.
