UCLA Faces Eligibility Blow In PCC Ruling
The Pacific Coast Conference docked UCLA 1955 football players one year of eligibility except those proving they received no improper funds. The ruling targets the entire 1956 seniors and may force shifts in which players sit out. Coach Red Sanders noted possible fielding issues, while the mercy clause hinges on disclosure of nonpermissible aid. Arizona river angling permits and MLB stars Duke Snider and Gil Hodges are also referenced.
