nH IlRcAR ERAIKY

New York, NOV. 9s--IuP)--The tieup between the Pacific Coast and western Conferences, and the rec sultant ssaub of Army. makes it evi. dent today that the time may be ripe for one of the major PCC cole leees to 90 independent and become the Notre Dame of the Far West.
 The logical one-if any-would be either Southern California or UCLA, two who were ready and willing but voted unable to do battle with the Cadets. Tf one withdrew the other still would represent los Angeles. a key point, in the Pacific Coast Con- ference.
 Neither use or UCt.A is to be castlgated in the deal which will keep Army's powerhouse Idle at West Point on New Years Day while the Blg Nine champion faces the PCC host. The Trojans and the nFzalns Aosh wanted to play Army lose or draw. and with little hopes ut winning.
 naa Tine e Do It
 But the preponoefance of power and NCAA preGsure-put through the inter conference deal for this Jan. 1.
 Back uf the whole deal. of course is the NCCAA hope of tying up the bowls and eliminating the football factories which maEes colleges noth- ing but small buildings beside sta- diHms. They simply picked a bad time to do t.
 Army was undefsAted the past two years but there was a war on and the citizenry wouldn't hold still for e oruss-ceuntSy trip for future of- fieers studying the arts of exter- imitation. But with the war over. and Navv6 Rose Bowl precedent of iU2s when it tied Washington at Pasadena, there was no reason why the Cadets couldn't have gone.
 Army was all set to make the trip.
 Then came the signing of the five-year pact which ties up the Rose Bowl with the Big Nine. AS one observer reported. the Western Conference once was as pure as the 0flb&u euON-bat Fl kAde AA AAtcl. VII the nod from the official throne room the Mid-Western Conference leaped into post-seas0n competition. and there's no dOubting that 1t insisted on it immediately or Army would be heading West.
 win Not Have Best Always
 Southern California is welded to the Big Nine or an opponent the latter selects for the next five years And while the Big Nine plays as good football as you'll find in the there's no doubt seasons will come when a dog fight leaves q poor rep- fesentatiye for the granddady of the bowls.
 Therefore, 1t would seem about time that use or UCLA. two schools ready to meet all corners, abandon such as Montana and Idaho, and dig up intersectiOnal rivals which will put the POO ln the shade.
 Army, on the other hand, can- not be commanded for it's attitude. The Cadets and the Army brass

 who played on that club know Don was a flne llne-baeker and that we had a strong defensive unit. But in the public mind. our ie5-pound line and ieO-pound backlleld are as4 sociated more with slick. swift oe- fensive maneuvers than with iron curtain defense.
 I fumbled on the Princeton a. yard line, when we were leading, 6 Co o. The Princeton ieft end scooped up the ball and raced down field, with three hlockers guarding him from behind, and nothing but chalk lines ahead of hizn.
 Miller was the first player to re- act. He started pursuit and rapidly closed in on the fleeing Tigers. To try to go through the three block CTS would have meant immediate elimination.
 So Don circled the closely-knit little group and got in front of the ball-carrier. But capable blockers still remained between Miller and the bail-carrler. At the Princeton 30-yard line, Clem Grove. our end and captain the following year, was 10 yards behind the pack, and he was no faster than the Princeton end with the bah.
 But once Miller got situated be- tween the Princeton men and the goal, he was able to slow them down. He back-pedaled. feinted, faked. and maneuvered Ike . good farm dog, rounding up the cOws. Finally Grove vas able to slip Up. unnotieed, and stop the bAll-carfier from behind.
 Notre Dame went on to c l2 to c victory.

The time is here for one of that trio to step out and take over the top bowl spot. The best of two con- ferences such as the PCL and Big Nine-cant hope to hold dead lock on national interest in a private year-in and year-out dogtight at Pasadena.
 Certainly it is time for one of the Pacific powers to start throwing around its weight nationally.

 Army is a four-touchdown favor ite to whip the Niddies and mark mp ies third straight undefeated season. However, Notre Dame tied Army two weeks ago, and the Ca- dets' three.year record would show 27 victories and a tie in 28 games.
