NCAA Decision Puts Troy in Penalty Box
By CARL SAW YER Daily Trojan Sports Writer
Did the two-year probation period dealt to SC's athletic teams by the NCAA sound the death knell of Trojan athletics?
At a glance, the two-year penalty handed down by the powerful NCAA was merely a seconding of a motion by the Pacific Coast Conference earlier in the year, but now that the national body has backed the PCC mandate, lt calls for closer examination.
As stated in the dispatch from the Policy Council of the NCAA gathered in Detroit. SC is on trial until July 1, 1958 and lor the period until July 1, 1957, no Trojan athlete will be eligible to compete in any national collegiate event.
SC was handed the probation because, the council said,
the SC educational foundation “provided student-athletes of the university with monthly cash allowances.” Payments ranged, the council said, from $10 to $75 per month.
The Detroit decision sent down the drain all chances oi Troy’s powerful track squad recapturing the NCAA track crown which it has won so often. The chances of SC’s potent baseball and tennis squads were also sent on a speedy journey in the same direction.
Should the Trojans capture the football, water polo, skiing, baseball, basketball, tennis or gymnastic championship, it won't mean a thing in the NCAA record book.
For two years that is.
It was assumed when news of the probation arrived that any chance SC had of leaving the Pacific Coast Conference and becoming an independent athletic power in
less than a two year period was also given free passage down the tubes.
SC may have jumped to a wrong conclusion. If Troy has been negotiating to drop out of the PCC as reported in some circles, why should officials stop working toward that goal?
The NCAA did not: (1) declare that SC, UCLA, Cal, Washington or any other penalized school could not form a new conference or go independent when the penalties were meted out.
(2) Prohibit unpenalized NCAA members from signing game agreements with SC should Troy relinquish its membership in the PCC.
In short, Tommy Trojan has been ushered into the penalty box and he won’t be eligible for parole until July 1, 1958, but the magistrate who put him there, the NCAA in
this case, did not say Tommy could not step out of the sweat box in 1958 wearing a new suit of armor.
True, SC will suffer the misfortunes of a two-year probationary period, but that ends July 1, 1958. It is to be expected that the flow of outstanding athletes to SC will slow to a trickle as compared to former years.
Troy may find the going somewhat tougher in the future when this fact begins to be felt, but all is not lost.
When 1958 arrives, SC can be in several positions. SC can be in a new conference as it is violently hoped by some; SC can be a successful independent athletic power rated among the top teams in the country; SC can remain in the PCC and continue to be among the consistent winners; or SC can drop from the national sport scene and be forgotten by its many friends and graduates throughout the world.

Doll, Devil, Drunk Tell of Hoffmann’
A smashed life-size doll . . . the devil reincarnated . . . a mad witch doctor ... a deluded alcoholic—all are parts of the magic in “Tales of Hoffmann” to be presented by the School of Music this Friday, Saturday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Bovard Auditorium.
The deluded alcoholic

is a
poet. Hoffmann, the leading character, enacted by John Maloy and Howard Southerland respectively on different nights. Hoffmann's life has been ruined In villains who snatch every happiness away from him. These villains, all played by French Tickner, are actually personifications of Hoffmann’s ewn genius which is destroying him.
Living Doll
Hoffmann tells the story of his three loves to a group of students in a tavern. The first concerns Olympia, a mechanical doll, built by a mad scientist, whose eyes were supplied by Ooppelius, a dealer in human eyes. Hoffmann thinks the doll is a real person and falls in love because Coppelius has given him
Cooper Says New Records Near in Sports
Man under normal circumstances generates one half horsepower ol energy and, at times, is capable of generating from 10 to 20 HP for a fraction of a second.
This is one of the elements of “The Measure of Man” described by Dr. John M. Cooper. SC professor of physical education, who spoke at the Faculty Club luncheon meeting on campus yesterday.
The ability to work without “fuel” for long periods of time, muscle power capable of moving 4000 pounds, and the ability to run 25 miles an hour were among other "measuies of man" taken up by Dr. Cooper.
“We are often apt to underrate man's potential because we are more ignorant of man than ol any other creature," Dr. Cooper said in telling of the lack of experimentation in man's capabilities.
There are just a few athletic activities in which the energy maximum is being approached, according to Dr. Cooper. He believes that with new techniques and devices, the javelin throw can surpass present records by 300 feet, the broad jump can go to 28 feet, and the pole vault to 16. He also feels a punter can kick the entire length of the gridiron and the mile can be run in 3:50.
One of the more important i reasons that man eventually will be able to set these new records Is that interest has been built ! up through publicity, the efforts of other nations’ athletes, and earlier teaching and experience in schools.
“Desire is one of the few remaining frontiers,” Dr. Cooper said.
Dr. Cooper listed several qualities of today’s outstanding athletic performers. He included willingness and eagerness to seek new ideas, the realization that they are just beginning to perform well and that others may beat them, desire for experimentation, and a fierce desire to win.
“Today’s great performers are practical physicists and mathematicians who know how the laws of motion can work to their advantage,’' he said.

Coppelius and the mad scientist argue over the ownership of Olympia until Coppelius, in a siege of anger, smashes the doll to bits as Hoffmann's glasses break.
Olympia is played by Meg Seno and Valerie Sasino; Coppelius. by French Tickner: the mad ; scientist, by Carl Schultz.
Hoffmann relates his second story to the students. It takes place in Venice at the home of Giulietta. She is under a spell cast by Dappertutto. the devil reincarnated, and is commissioned to steal the soul of Hoffmann in amagic mirror.
Console a Gondola Hoffmann falls in love with Giulietta and her lover challenges him to a duel. Hoffmann kills him but loses Giulietta when she sails awav in a gondola with a hunchback who has captured her.
The role of Giulietta is interpreted by Marion Oles and Suz-zanne Russian; that of the lov- , er, by James Gibbons; and the hunchback, by Ray Arbizu.
The third-love of Hoffmann is Antonia, the daughter of a re- | cluse violin-maker. Her eccentric father who wishes to shut her I from everyone save himself, has 1 fled with her to Munich so that she will not fall in love with Hoffmann.
Killing Voice Antonia has a magic illness that will kill her if she uses her voice to sing. She promises her father that she will never sing.’ Dr. Miracle, the villain, appears and says that he will treat Antonia's illness. Then follows a scene in which he puts Antonia under his power.
Hoffmann has followed them to Munich, hears about her and decides to go away for a while to be alone. Antonia believes that he has left her forever and that love is “all in vain.”
Under the power of Dr. Miracle she feels that she must sing. She tries to escape but he appears to bar every exit and compels her to sing. She does so and dies.
LIVE DOLL—is the part' portrayed by Meg Seno in the upcoming campus production of "Tales of Hoffmann." Seen with her in a scene from the play are John Maloy, who plays Hoffmann, and James Coday as the mad scientist.

12 Stalinists Lose Spots As Hungary Red Bosses
From I'nited Pres*
VIENNA — Sov iet -backed Hungarian Premier Janos Kadar fired 12 Stalinists from top Hungarian Communist Party posts yesterday in a desperate attempt to win favor of his anti-Soviet countrymen.
A communique broadcast by Budapest Radio said the Stalinists wvre ousted because thev “participated in crimes committed by Matyas Rakosi," former party boss who was fired last summer and who has been blamed by the party for ’‘blunders" which led to the current Hungarian revolt.
The purg^ was the biggest in Hungary since the Communists seized power in 1947. It alerted
the entire structure of the party hierarchy and virtually completed “de-Stalinization” of its leadors.

Trojans Urged Oregon Coeds To Appear at Webfoot Rally
according to Mary Laird, president of Amazons.	^
A public address system will be used on the field to give a play-by-play account of the game. In addition, the Spurs will lead a rooting section for the Squires, the Amazons a section for the Knights.
Tickets, which can be purchased from any member of the sponsoring service groups, are still on sale for 25 cents each, j Dave Ger«hensen, chairman of the project, urges students to buy the tickets even if they are j unable to attend. ‘‘We’ve got j twice as many kids to buy presents for this year,” he said, “and this benefits a very worthy i cause.”
Spurs have been publicizing the event all week to the living I groups on campus hoping to arouse enthusiasm for the game. A large turnout —- larger than last year’s 500—is expected, but with more orphans to take care of this year than ever before,

Predict Wet Field For Oregon Game
Trojans will have their last chance to send their team off at a morning rally when the squad leaves SC tomorrow at 9 a.m. for Oregon.
Dann Angelolf and his “big four” will lead students in a farewell rally in front of the PE building as the Trojan squad boards busses en route to the airport for their flight to Portland.
Last year the Trojans lost to a northern school on a rain-soaked soggy field. According to weather reports from up north it has been raining for several days and the game will be played under the same adverse weather conditions.
Dann Angeloff, head cheer leader,. sai(t yesterday, ‘‘This is the game that will be instrumental in our attitudes toward the coming UCLA and Notre Dame games but let s take one gr me at a time and get by Oregon first. It is alwavs tough for a California team that isn't used to playing in rain to play under these conditions as was shown in last year’s Washington and Minnesota games. So this is the rally where we should really get behind our Trojans.”
Last year the hero of the game was Jon Arnett, who scored four touchdowns and led the Trojans to 42-15 win. This year Arnett will not be able to play but he will be going along as a student “coach” and to help the team's morale.
Angeloff wished to thank the student body for the support they have given the team.
