This will mark the final step in the

cal properties Of the Congressional

Stripped Of some financial details,

members, including life members, be
retained on the club roster.
The McLachlen plan provides that
each member of the club, except

mately $4,000 from the present
membership, to be used to make re-

CHICAGO, Dec. THE faculty
representatives of the Western Con-
ference had a chance today to speak
their piece on post-season football
games.
The report of the Faculty Com
mittee was due on whether the
Western Conference should join
hands with the Pacific Coast Con-
ference in making the annual Rose
Bowl game a closed affair between
the two groups.
But the word already had got
around that the post-season pro-
posal probably would be rejected in
rather emphatic terms by the pro-
fessors who determine athletic pol
icy in the conference. Faculty
groups at Wisconsin, Purdue and
Minnesota already have announced
their opposition to any bowl COM
petition.
This question of Rose Bowl tie
up was the topic of informal discus
sion yesterday in the opening of the
annual winter meeting. but the alb
sense of Francis A. Schmidt, Ohio
State football coach, stole the con-
versational spotlight.
