UPl-The athletic world is as blue as their famous sky-hued uniforms for the powerful Bruins of UCLA, who were thrown for a $95,000 loss and benched for three years Saturday by the Pacific Coast Conference.

Champions in football, basketball and track, -the Bruins also were crowned champions of the penalty circuit, lifting the title that had been Washington's for two weeks. The conference put Washington on probation for two years for letting alumni slip money td athletes under the table. UCLA drew a three-year term. Neither school can win a title or play in a post-season game until its sentence is up. The terms start before school reopens next fall.

Specifically, UCLA was charged with condoning the payments of $40 per month to its own athletes and some still in junior college. It was accused of refusing to cooperate with the commissioners of the conference Victor 0. Schmidt in his sleuthing activities. It was accused of permitting two clubs to deal with athletes in violation of the conference code. The Young Men's Club of West-wood and the Bruin Bench were outlawed until they can be reorganized to the satisfaction of the conference.

All alumni of UCLA were denied the privilege of transporting prospective students to the campus. An outright fine of $15,000 was assessed against the school because its chancellor Dr. Raymond B. Allen denied Schmidt "the opportunity to conduct an investigation of the financial aid given to athletes." The rest of the approximately $95,000 will be in lost Rose Bowl and television receipts, while the school is on probation.

Housing Bill Debate Underway WASHINGTON MFt-The Senate starts debate today on a multi-billion-dollar housing bill that would give the administration many things it asked for, and some it didn't. No one has yet reduced the cost of the omnibus housing bill to any specific over-all dollar total. It leans heavily toward the provision of better housing for the poor and the aged. One provision for a huge low rental public housing program for low-income families 135,000 units a year for three years-was headed for a fight.

Its sponsors have added a provision which would let the President boost the total to 200,000 units a year, or cut it to 50,000 units. THE ADMINISTRATION has asked authorization for 35,000 units' a year for two years. Sen. Capehart administration floor manager for the bill, has announced he will seek to have the total reduced to that level. The measure also calls for a pioneering program to build 75,000 additional low-rent public housing units of special design to house elderly persons of small means.

Construction would proceed at a rate of 15,000 units a year, beginning in midsummer. The homes would provide dwelling space without, stairs and with special-type fixtures designed for convenience and safety of elderly occupants. President Eisenhower had recommended a program of such housing to be designed for persons 65 or older. The bill also would provide more liberal credit terms for the sale of homes for persons 60 or older by allowing FHA insurance of up to 100 per cent of loans, 40-year mortgages, and purchase of the homes with only $200 down payment.

Base, Pelican AC, El Cerrito, 1. Dragons to Play Troy Tomorrow By BOB ARMBRUSTER Petaluma's baseballers jump from the frying pan into the fire tomorrow afternoon when they meet the league leading Sonoma Dragons in their Valley of the Moon lair, The last time the club met the locals were victims of a no-run, no hit affair in dropping a 3-0 decision to the Section 2 leaders. Since that time the Dragons have gone on a winningt rampage while the Trojans have tasted the fruits of victory only once during the current campaign, that win coming in their opening game against the Analy Tigers. Dave Brooks, smallish right hander, will attempt to stop the head long rush of the Sonomans toward a league title. Brooks holds the only win the locals have and hurled a credible game when the Trojans lost their first meeting against Sonoma.

Ron Jenkins will probably be held in readiness should anything happen to Brooks early in the game as the Sonoma club has a reputation of being one of the hardest hitting aggregations in the league and with the advantage of their home grounds will be out to impress their fans. The balance of the Trojan lineup will be as usual although Coach Raleigh Ellisen could make some last minute changes to get some more batting power for his hard pressed charges. Game time will be at 3:30 p. 21. 1956 was executed by Barney Barnett of the locals in robbing Scardac-cove of an extra base hit.
