The two teams battled through eight scoreless innings, but the Cadets took full advantage of five Decatur errors in the second extra inning, plus two bases on balls, to tally five times.

The Jacxets launched their rally when Kelly drew a walk and Kirkpatrick was hit by a pitched ball. Ballard and Wefat then popped out, both to the shortstop, but Shraluka doubled and Wolfe and Baxter drove out singles for the three runs .before the inning ended when Moses grounded out.

UCLA Players Lose Year Os Eligibility VICTORIA. B. C. UNS) — UCLA’s hopes of maintaining football supremacy on the Pacific coast were wrecked today by disciplinary action because of illegal payments to athletes by alumni groups. Athletic directors and faculty representatives from Pacific Coast Conference schools, meeting in Victoria, decreed Monday that all football players loat a year of eligibility unless they can prove they did not accept “under-the-table” payments from alumni groups. This means that Ronnie Knox, tailback sUr and other seniors, were through with football al UCLA unless they can meet the conditions set forth by .the conference greybeards. The "fine" of a year of eligibility was the second installment of penalties against UCLA. On Saturday, the conference fined the Westwood school 315,400 sad deprived L’CLA of an estimated 378,004 it would receive as its share of Rose Bowl receipts during the next three years. The Bruins were placed on probation for the three-year period, meaning their teams cannot claim a championship sh any sports during that time. Star Is Bitter I U)S ANGELES UNS) *- American guard Hardiman Cureton of UCLA charged angrily Monday that the University of Southern California pays the highest football subsidies In the Pacific Coast Conference. Cureton, obviously bitter at the stiff penalties handed his former teammates by the conference, declared: “We get peanuts compared to what those guys at USC are getting. Besides, there’s not a school in the conference that does not subsidize above the code limit one way or another.” Cureton, who will play next season for Toronto iij the Canadian Professional League, said: “If 1 were a member of the UCLA coaching staff, I’d be in favor of going in and spilling the beans. That’s what Red Sanders and his assistants ought to do. I don't know why they should stand by and have our athletic program wrecked while the wreckers use the qppprtdnity to feather their ( own neats.” S* , I - Cureton, who said he was sought! by USC, California and Stanford t before enrolling at UCLA, claimed | Southern California pays a foot-' ball player “anywhere from 350 to $l5O in addition to the permitted 175." He also charged some USC football players get automobiles and other rewards. The former Bruin star said: v "I knbw a wingback at SC who gets his |75 plus a >l5O a month ; deal and the Trojans also got his I [wife a job for 3300 a month."
