Lifting Of Frosh Bur

To Be Scheduled
BY GAIL FOWLER,


PORTLAND, Greg, March 23.-
Physical fitness first and athletics
second.
That probably will be the new goal
of the Pacific Coast Conference as
the outcome of meetings OF graduate
managers and faculty representatives
which got down to serious business
today.
Where heretofore King Football
has held the throne in the collegiate
athletic setup, under the new dis
pensation to be adopted by the Con-
ference football will play second
fiddle to the wider objective of physi-
cal fitness for all.
Faculty men and graduate man
ayers held a joint meeting yesterday
at which the agenda of the current
meeting was drawn up.
Atherton's Job Threatened.
Commissioner Edwin Atherton said
principal items to be discussed would
include revocation of the freshman
rule which bars first year men from
varsity competition; revision of other
rules, including the residence rule,
which might be affected by wartime
demands; and changes in schedules
to include games with service teams.
Atherton also will request the
faculty men to clarity his future
status. His present contract expires
December 81, 1912 He receives
$4,000 salary and $4,000 for office
operation from the 5000 the Con-
ference receives from Rose Bowl
receipts. Should there be no Rose
Bowl game this year, Conference
officials will have to figure where to
get the money for Atherton's Office,
or suspend its operations.
Some quarters said the Army's
ban on crowds of more than 5000
would be soft-pedaled or completely
sidestepped by the Conference.
Coaches Grade Officials.
Others said, however, that the
Conference, later in the summer,
might lay a comprehensive program
before military authorities which in
effect would offer widespread
physical fitness setup in the college
in exchange for military concessions
on the size of crowds.
Coaches concluded their sessions
here yesterday, but many of them
planned to remain to watch the
progress of the Conferences "Su-
preme Court"-the faculty men.
Principal item of business disposed
of by coaches was the grading of
some 200 football officials who may
figure in this falls grid contests.
Effect of the projected 3-year
"speedup" program of education
which some educators present said
very likely would be put into effect
at the four California schools-Cal-
ifornia. u c. L. A, University OF
Southern California and Stanford
also will come up for study.
