Conference at Portland Resulted
in Victory for Idaho

In the election of officers at the
Northwest conference of college ath-
Ietics, Idaho captured the plum at the
meeting held in Portland which prac-
tically closed it's deliberations last
night. NJ F. Angel, faculty repre-
sentative of Idaho and chairman of
the athletic committee, was named the
president Of the conference for the
ensuing year. J. F. Boiler of W. S..
c. was reelected secretary. Mr..
Angel returned home this morning
and announces that despite the ex-
pected disruption of the conference
in which it was rumOred that Idaho
and Whitman were to be dropped,
that the meeting turned out harmon
iously and with much satisfaction to
Idaho. Coach Rademacher remained
at Portland today to- complete the
schedule on basketball and baseball
One of the important Developments
of the session was the organization OF
the Pacific coast intercollegiate con-
ference, which was formed with GER
tain agreements so that the three
colleges west of the Cascades could
cooperate with California colleges.
An agreement signed by the faculty
representatives of O. A. c., Univer-
sity of Oregon and University of
Washington, of interest locally and
vital to Idaho was given out by Pres
ident Angel today for the first time
and is printed below.
Probably one. of the most import
ant rules adopted by the conference
was that each member will not be en-
titled to more than three representa-
tives, one must be a faculty mem
Der, and the faculty member must
cast the vote of the institution and
it shall be final. The conference abol-
ished the preseason training camps
and such training shall start uniform
ly in all colleges and on their own
campus. Scouting was absolutely
abolished The Freshman rule will
remain as before, except that the col
1eges west of the Cascades may elm
mate first-year men in games with
California colleges. The football
schedules adopted we're published in
the Satr-Mirror last night.
