COAST conference
ADOPTS RULES THAT
MAY NOT STAY PUT
Split Over Resolution Dividing
Football Receipts Evenly
Pasadena Game Shelved as
Poor Business.

Seattle, WASH, Dec. s.-The Pacific
coast conference made history Sat-
urday in its annual session and
PASSED legislation which may cause
a general cancellation of games in the
future on the part of the colleges sit
uated in larger cities, If an attempt is
made to force these colleges to live up
to the resolutions.
The conference, overriding the Uni
versity of Washington and the Uni
vcrsity of California, passed the reso-
luton giving each football eleven an
equal division of the net receipts. which
would hit California and Washington
hardest.
Graduate Manager Meinest and Dean
Priest of Washington, supported by
California, interposed vigorous objec-
ton on the ground that the overhead
expense in a large city is much more
eats up the profits. Meinest stated
that California and Stanford, would
schedule games with Washington un-
der the old system of the home eleven
raying the expenses of the visiting
team and taking the net receipts, while
Washington and Oregon have q con-
tract for next year.
RAP At PASADENA
Meinest states that Washington
state will also probably schedule games
with Washington which would leave
the University of Oregon and the Ore
gon agricultural college the only in
stitutions which would hold for the
old order. Meinest stated that Wash
ington would not live up to the rule
even though it had to go to the middle
west and schedule games with such
colleges as Nebraska.
The annual New Years day game nj
Pasadena has probably passed into
history, for the conference yesterday
PASSED a resolution to the effect that
the coast champion in football would
lie named by the conference and that
the champion team would schedule Its
own intersectional game with the
champion of the east, playing it at its
own college, at any of the large cities
adjacent to the winning college, or
would accept the Pasadena engage
ment if the financial consideration
would merit. In the past the Pasadena
tournament of roses committee has
paid the expenses of the two teams
ard pocketed the net profits. Members
OF the conference say that the roses at
Pasadena are paper roses and that the
football scheme Is purely a money
making proposition for the Pasadena
people.
DIR. Angel of Stanford was elected
president of the coast conference and
DIR. Lynch of California was named
secretary. The next session will be
held in San Francisco Dec. 4. 1920.
ALTERNATING SCHEDULES
The scheduling of games has beer
revised SO that each college will have
its traditional game, California against
Stanford. the Oregon Aggies agains,
Oregon and Washington State against
Washington. This, it is thought, will
eliminate the bringing of California
team north for big game for the clos.
ing of the season. l. will also NEAR
that Stanford will be seen in Seattle
on alternate years with California, IL
is said by the delegates.
The hammer throw was eliminated
from the conference but may be KEEP
IN dual meets at the option of the
colleges.
Oregon was reprimanded for play.
ing three freshmen in the Thanksgiv.
ing game against the Multnomah club
and was put on probation for two
years. If another rule is broken in thai
time the three freshmen will be barred
from competition in their senior year
