Coast Colleges Vote
|ToConiinue Rose Bowl
Football Classic
By the Assoeieted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23-
The Pacific Coast Conference ef-
fectively killed talk about de-
emphasis of athletics by voting
to continue with the annual Rose
Bowl football classic.
The decision of the faculty rep
resentatives Of the nine Pee
members to go ahead with the
31-year-old daddy Of all the bowls
was unanimous.
Preceding it were rumors that
the Pee college presidents had
determined to take the pressure
off intercollegiate athletics and
that the Rose Bowl would be first
to go. But the presidents talked
it over and passed the decision to
the faculty representatives.
The decision was announced at
the end of yesterdays meetings by
Prof. H. P. Everest Of the Univer-
sity Of Washington, chairman OF
the faculty representatives Press
Committee.
Everest also announced that the
conference would seek a new Rose
Bowl agreement with the Big Ten.
It was reported the Pee wants
each conference to pick its bowl
team on the same basis. Under
the 5-year pact just expired. the
Pee annually sent its champion
to five straight defeats-while the
Big Ten prohibited any OF its
members going to the bowl oftener
than every third year.
OF increasing pressure on in
tercollegiate athletics" including
post-season games, Everest said:
while the conference recog-
nized that post-season games do
present problems, its opinion is
that in view of existing circum-
stances surrounding the compete

conference would be not justified
in discontinuing its participation
in the Rose Bowl" :
For discussion today is the pos
sible return of a World War II
rule which would permit fresh
man participation in varsity atf1-
