Separate northern and southern division scheduling will not apply in football and basketball. In dividing the conference into two divisions, schedules will be more like those prior to 1967 when baseball was conducted on such a level. Schools within a division would meet each other in weekend action.

The 1972 wrestling championships will be hosted by Washington, track finals will be at Stanford, and the baseball playoffs between the northern and southern division champions will be played May 19-20 under a schedule adopted by the directors.

Lance Rentzel more confident DALLAS (AP) Former Dallas Cowboys flanker Lance Rentzel. in an interview with Bob St. John of the Dallas Morning News, said Monday, "I'm more confident in my future than ever before." Rentzel, who was traded to Los Angeles in exchange for tight end Billy Truax and wide receiver Wendell Tucker, said his probation on a guilty plea of indecent exposure has "forced me to take a long hard look at myself. "And I can't tell you how much better a man I am for it.

It may be the best thing that has happened as far as I'm concerned. How many people are forced to stop and take a look at themselves honestly in their lifetimes? I've got a much better perspective on myself. I know how lucky I am to have things that maybe I took a little for granted before Rentzel was charged last November with exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl. He pleaded guilty to the charge in April. FREE CAR WASH With Gas Fill Up 2 LOCATIONS 15th and HEMLOCK i nnpnri.

1 SEATTLE (AP) Pacific-8 Conference athletic directors voted Monday to limit grants in aid and to return to separate northern and southern division scheduling in most sports. During their annual meeting that ended here Monday, the directors voted to limit grants in aid to 35 per year in football and six in basketball. Bob Sprenger, conference publicity director, said schools could only store a few unawarded scholarships per year. Big Ten directors seek boss IOWA CITY, (AP) A Big Ten search committee started hunting Tuesday for "the best available man in the country" as successor to conference Commissioner William R. (Bill) Reed, who died last week at 55.

The league faculty representatives, opening a regular spring session with athletic directors Monday, named a five-man search committee and simultaneously appointed as interim commissioner, John Dewey, Reed's assistant the past decade. Dewey, primarily the Big Ten's sleuth against financial aid violations, immediately requested to be eliminated as a candidate for the permanent commissioner's job. The conference athletic leaders, although reluctant to show disrer-pectful haste in replacing Reed, designated a screening committee of three faculty representatives and two athletic directors, stressing that there was no immediate deadline for picking a new commissioner. Marcus Plante of Michigan, faculty spokesman, said the committee would consult the directors for a qualified nominee who then would be recommended to the Council of Ten school presidents for final consideration. "The ultimate choice is not restricted to anybody in the Big Ten," said Plante.

"We will try to get the best man available in the country. There is no time limit placed on the selection." Plante conceded the choice could be made before the conference's no-agenda summer meeting at Petoskey, Mich. Aug. 9-12.

West German withdraws; shot nerves By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS West Germany's Robert Huebner, citing frayed nerves, withdrew from the World Chess Championships Monday before the scheduled eighth game of his quarter-final elimination match against Russian Grandmaster Tigran Petrosian. Huebner, beaten by Petrosian in 40 moves Sunday after their first six games of the 10-game series at Seville, Spain, ended in draws, said his nerves were too disturbed for him to continue with any chance of success. In Monday's other quarter-final action in Moscow, Soviet Grandmasters Viktor Korchnoi and Yefim Geller played to a draw after 27 moves of the sixth game of their series. Korchnoi holds a lead over his countryman.

A total of 784 survivors of the local eliminations Monday and Tuesday will join 80 exempt players in the June 7-8 sectional qualifying competition.

In the sectionals, the field will be trimmed further in the battle for starting spots in the Open, to be played June 17-20 at the Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa. Of the record 4,349 entries, only 150 will tee off at Ardmore and the odds are stacked against any of the nonex-empt golfers making the starting field. Wall fired a two-under-par 140 for 36 holes at Dallas, where John Schlee, 144, and Bob Dickson, 149, were among other established pros qualifying. Gardner Dickinson, however, failed to appear at his scheduled tee time. Also among the 38 Dallas qualifiers, with a 154 total, was Ben Crenshaw of Austin, who tied for the low amateur score in last year's Open.

Pros Dwain Knight and Bob Brue, and 22-year-old amateur Jim Masserio turned in five-under 139s at Albuquerque, N.M., Racine, and Pittsburgh, respectively, to lead their fields. NFL owners in cleanup sessions NEW YORK (AP) National Football League owners began meeting here Tuesday in Operation Clean-up, seeking to finish the work left over from their earlier meetings this spring. One of the items scheduled to be discussed was negotiations with the players. Tex Schramm of the Dallas Cowboys, head of the owners' negotiating committee, was scheduled to report on the status of negotiations. Talks between the owners and the players have been stalled since the Players' Association filed an unfair labor practices grievance against the owners with the National Labor Relations Board.

The owners also are scheduled to wrestle with a revised procedure for breaking ties to determine post-season playoff spots and consider possible rules changes involving penalties on plays where there is a change of possession. In considering the breaking of ties for playoff spots the owners will be looking for additional competitive factors to break such ties in order to make the coin flip procedure as remote as possible. The rules change being considered involves a change of possession in which each team commits a foul after the ball has changed hands but while the play still is being concluded. Under current rules, the play is nullified with the penalties offsetting each other. There is a strong feeling that if the change of possession precedes the penalties the team getting the ball should be allowed to keep it.

ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) -Mike Bonallack, the kind of reticent Englishman who never admits the sun is shining until he sees it, vowed today his British team would win back the Walker Cup from the United States this week for the first time since 1938.

"We've got such a good team, all 10 of them, that I don't know who to play and who to leave out," said the 37-year-old British amateur champion and captain. "We are at least even in the betting and I would put it just a little above that." On the record this was a long shot. The British and American amateur golf teams square away Wednesday in a two-day tussle of foursomes and singles matches 24 altogether in the golden jubilee of the unique competition. Great Britain wants altitude for pretraining LONDON (AP) If athletes used to low altitudes perform poorly at high elevations, it figures those trained at a high level will do better at lower heights, right? That's what Great Britain thinks, anyway. So the British Olympic Association is trying to raise $36,000 to send 140 athletes to St.

Moritz for three weeks' training in the Swiss Alps for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. A number of other nations Russia, East Germany, Italy, Belgium and The Netherlands have the same idea. But some British track and field officials oppose the plan, as do a pair of Britain's marathon medalist hopes, Ron Hill and Don Faircloth. The plan is designed to avert a repeat of the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games where performances were generally below-par in the city. The athletes swimmers, boxers, wrestlers and others as well as runners would train about 6,000 feet above sea level, then head for the games about a week later in Munich.

A number of British administrators feel their athletes should have a chance to undergo the same kind of preparation as those of other countries. But Sandy Duncan, British delegate to the International Olympic Committee, is against it and some officials have asked the IOC to ban the practice. Dr. Raymond Owen, official doctor for the BOA, attended a symposium last year on altitude training and said tests showed that runners working out for three weeks at high elevations ran on an average of 11 seconds faster than those trained at sea level.

Four golfers were forced into a playoff round after finishing regulation play tied at 150. The winners were Ron Coleman, Sequim and Don Scott of Seattle.

Al Mundel of Seattle was eliminated when he bogied the first hole and George Holland bogied the fourth. Art Wall a veteran of the professional golf circuit, led the advance of The Americans hava won 22 times and lost only once in the biennial battle played on both sides of the water. This time the United States sent here a remarkable combination of age and youth that looks good enough to give a bookmaker the willies. "I don't care about the odds," said Bonallack, who has beaten the top Americans himself a half dozen times. "We can, and I think we will, get the cup back." John Winters, of Tulsa, the non-playing American captain, countered this brave talk with the comment that "we can adapt ourselves to these conditions even though seven of our team never have seen them." The conditions he was talking about involved rain and cold descending on the fickle St.
