Los Angeles newspapers were del

Trojan athletic director Hunter

the objections of his school and U.

Statement
1--WE did everything in our power
to make it possible for the United
States Military Academy's great
football team to play in the Rose
Bowl game, recognizing from the
outset the strong public interest in
seeing the unbeaten Army team in
this traditional New Years clas-
SIC" Hunter said.
Hunter, who is also chairman of
the conference Rose Bowl commit
tee, said the Pacific Coast Confer
ence members were sympathetic
at first to the desires Of the two
Los Angeles schools.
The Trojan athletic director and
UCLA officials were not opposed
to the contract between the Western
Conference and the Big Nine, Hun
ter said, but merely wanted the
agreements effective date post
poned a year.
Representatives of the Big Nine
stated, however, that they had no
authority to make the arrangement
effective other than for the game
of January /, 1947, and that if the
postponement occurred it would
be necessary for them to return to
their Conference for further &C
ton, with considerable doubt as
to the outcome"
With that situation existing, Hun
ter said, the Pacific Coast Confer
ence members decided it was ad-
Wis able to enter into the agreement
with the game of Jan. l, 1947. The
vote was six to two. The two Local
Universities, mindful of the views
Of Southern California football
fans, voted to the end against start
ing the agreement at once.
Il regret very much it was made
impossible for the Army to be the
Eastern Representative in the 1947
Rose Bowl game, although l am
fully ap%preciative of the advan-
tages of the arrangement now COM
pleted with the Western Confer
ence," Hunter said.
Indignation over the by-passing Of
Army was mounting in Los Angels,
with fans repeatedly threatening to
boycott clubs and remain away
from the New Years Day Classic.
Sports editors of every Los An
geles paper condemned the agree
ment as a slight to the Army and
ran columns of comment from fans
who agreed with them.
