Troubled PCC Opens
Important
SAN FRANCISCO (ft - The Pa
cific Coast Conference con
fronted with imminent breakup
started grappling again Friday
with the problem of how and how
much to help football players and
other athletes maintain themselves
in college.
A special conference meeting of
faculty representatives and ath
letic directors will hear a -report
from a committee instructed Dec.
5 to draft a new liberalized aid-to-athletes
code.
Eight days after the committee
study was ordered, California,
UCLA and Southern California an
nounced on Dec. 13 that they were
quitting the 42-year-old athletic
league. One of their key disagree
ments with other members was
over financial aid to athletes.
The conference has been torn
by argument over the issue since
19a6 when probation penalties
were imposed on Washington,
UCLA and Southern California for
unauthorized payments to football
players. California drew a lesser
penalty for a recruiting violation
by its then coach, Pappy Waldorf.
By a 6-3 vote, the December
conference meeting instructed the
committee to pin down in specifics
this general proposal:
Spencer Addi
Batting Punch
To Glove Play
PHOENIX, Ariz. (UP) Daryl
Spencer, one of the game's great
glove men, came trotting off the
field grinning from ear to ear.
He had just completed his
greatest day in history at bat
two home runs and two singles in
five times at the plate against an
assortment of Chicago. Cub pitch
ers. Spencer is facing some stiff
competition at shortstop with the
San Francisco Giants this year
from young Andre Rodgers and
the pressure is on.
"But I took a batting lesson
from Lefty O Doul the other day,"
smiled Daryl. "I had been stand
Ing with my . feet too close to
gether.
"Lefty was of the belief that If
I opened my stance and stood
with my left foot back about six
Inches that it would improve my
hatting average. I tried It out for
the first time today.
"What a day. My gosh, I'm go
ing to give this new stance the
full test. As of now I'm batting
.800 with it. And you can't beat
that."
At 28, Spencer has been the reg
ular Giant shortstop for three
years. But his batting average al-
ways has been on the - anemic
side. In 1953 it was .208. After
two years in the service, he came
back to hit .221 In 1956 and tipped
that to .249 in 148 games last
year.
His top output of runs-batted-in
for a single year in the majors
was 56. But in this game he
knocked in three tallies with his
four blows as his team scored a
13-2 triumph.
"With this new stance I seem
to set a better look at the ball."
he reasoned.- It t funny I never
tried this before. Had to have
O Doul show me.
"I'm batting .M0-but I'll teU
you right now that I hope my reg
ular season hitting improves to
the point where I'm batting .289
and I'll' be happy. If this new
stance will put 40 or 50 points on
my average 1 11 nave no worries.

Confab
Allow member schools to pro
vide tuition and board and room
to athletes working a prescribed
number of hours on campus Jobs,
Such aid wuld be allowed only
to athletes maintaining a 2.2 (C
plus) grade average in credit
hours required toward graduation.
The PCC code now allows
schools to give athletes their tui
tion and opportunity to earn J100
month on campus Jobs. The
regular wage rate is $2 an hour
but athletes can be paid $4 an hour
in their sport season.
The athletic ' aid committee,
headed by Donald Wollett of Wash
ington, is reported to have failed
to agree on an aid plan draft in
a two day session at Seattle last
weekend.
Instead the committee is ex
pected to present three alternative
proposals for conference discus
sion and action.
One Is understood to suggest
that each member school decide.
a . basis of need, whether to
give a full free ride tuition,
fees, room, board, and laundry
Without requiring any work.
The two alternatives would re
quire campus Job work.
These five possibly would car
ry on with a free ride system if
it proves impossible to make a
compromise which would induce
California. UCLA, .Southern Cali
fornia and Stanford to remain in
the league.
Southern California, ucla and
California have declared they will
leave the PCC July 1. 1959.
Both California and Stanford
have declared against any finan
cial aid favoring athletes over
other students. Stanford declares
it does not pay the $4 an hour
double wage during an athlete's
sports season now allowed.

who connected on 50 per cent of
his field goal attempts during the
regular season, suffered a facial
fracture during the victory and
was pronounced definitely out.
HARNEY ALSO OUT
Coach John Castellan! said the
odds were a thousand to one that
Saunders would be Joined on the
bench by team captain Jim Har
ney who has not recovered from
a wrenched back.
"Harney probably couldn't help
us anyway," Castellani said. "He
hasn't had any practice for five
days. But the boys are still confi
dent and have more incentive to
score an upset now that they have
lost two players.
Elgin Baylor, who scored 26
points against Wyoming, became
nauseated during the contest but
it was only temporary.
"He's ready to go as usual."
Castellani said of the nation's No.

eight men now and I might fly
down a couple of reserves who
stayed behind in Seattle."
The third ranked Dons ' went
through Thursday's practice with
Mike Farmer looking more like
his old self. He had been under
par in his last two games be
cause of a virus but appeared
improved. Stopping Baylor will
be one of his big assignments.- He
has done It before.

California, which has had four
days of rest since beating Oregon
siate in a piayott for tne NCAA
bid, also was pronounced In. good
shape. The Bears meet an Idaho
State team that had a tough time
putting down Arizona State of
Tempe in the closing moments
Wednesday. The final score was
72-68 with the Sun Devils closing
alarmingly fast in the last five
minutes.
Coach John Grayson of Idaho
State said his team also . was
ready. Joe Germaine filled in well
for the ineligible Lloyd Harris at

lied 16 points.
