LOT Of Questions
About Top Bids

DETROIT. July II R.-Spike
Briggs was due back in town
today. certain to face a lot of
questioning about the four top
bids for the Tigers American
League franchise.
The Tigers president, while in
Washington for the All-Star
game, submitted four bids-all
in the $5-million bracket-to
Will Harridge. American League
president, and Ford Prick, base
ball commissioner.
Briggs had said before leaving
Detroit that it would take at
least a week before the bids were
ready for examination by Har-
ridge and Prick.
One published report was that
a syndicate headed by Fred
Knorr, Detroit radio executive,
has the inside track on the bid
ding. Eight groups entered bids
for the Tigers and Briggs Stadi-
UNI. Knorr's group bid SIS mil
lion.
The highest bid was sub
mitted by syndicate headed by
Bill Veeck, former owner of the
Cleveland Indians and st. Louis
Browns. His bid amounted to
S5,250,000. The others in the
four turned over to Harridge
and Prick:
Jack Cooke, owner of the To-
ronto Maple Leafs of the Inter-
national League, $5,180,000;
Robert Goldstein. Hollywood
movie producer and associates,
$5,05O,OOO.
Briggs is close personal
friend Of Knorr and a stock
holder in Knorr's firm, the
Knorr Broadcasting Co. He has
said the club will not necessarily
go to the highest bidder.
Trustees of the estate of the
late Walter o. Briggs, who
owned the club before his son
and daughters inherited it in
1852, will select the new owners
after hearing from Harridge
and Prick.

Southern Cal, UCLA Join Carr
To Seek Removal of Bans Ev+o

LOS ANGELES, July IL tP).-
Southern California and UCLA
have Joined forces aimed at sus-
pending athletic eligibility bans
imposed by the Pacific Coast
Conference and at drafting a
new athletic purity code.
DR.. Fred C. Fagg, president of
the University of Southern Cali
fornia, started the move yester-
day in a sharply worded tele-
gram to DR.. Robert Gordon
Sproul, chairman of the Presi-
dents Council of the Pee. He
suggested that the presidents
meet within two weeks and
agree to suspend all pending
bans against athletes. He pro-
posed that the presidents draft
a new code governing athletic
scholarships and that punish
ment for past violations be pat
termed from the new code.
Shortly after DR.. Fagg's tele-
gram was made public. DR.. Ray
mond B. Allen, chancellor of
UCLA who is answerable to Pres
ident Sproul, issued this brief
statement: Il fully indorse and
strongly concur in the sentiments
expressed in President Fagg's
telegram
Faulty Interpretation
Faculty representatives have
imposed fines and athletic eligi-
bility bans against Southern CAL
ifornia, UCLA and Washington
UCLA was banned from playing
in hte Rose Bowl football game
for three years and Southern
California and Washington for
two years.
DR.. Fagg told DR.. Sproul he
believes that every friend OF
higher education will join me in
demanding that we clarity this
situation without delay. and to
do less than our utmost at this
time will do irreparable injury to
the athletes who represent us
and irreparable injury also to
