Big Nine To Send Team To Bowl Classic I Berkeley. Cal.. Nov 20—(UP) The Pacific coast conference and the western conference- the na Hon's two top-ranking intereollegi ate leagues - signed a five-year agreement today to match their teams In the Rose Bowl starting Jan. 1. 1947. The pact blasted Army's hopes of entering thia New Year's tottrna ment of roses and still left In doubt the identity of both the big nine and west coast entrants. The western conference choice apparently lay la-tween lllifioie, currently leading the big nine conference, and Michigan, which still has an outside chance to win the title in the conference's final games Saturday. The University of California at law Angeles and Southern California will meet Saturday to determine the tournament’s far western competitor. The pad. reached after nearly 24 hours of debate between commis stoners and faculty representatives of the two conferences, covered these points for conducting the na tion's No 1 howl classic through Jan. 1. 1951: 1. Each conference la to designate its own representative, and presumably its championship football team. 2. For the first three years the western conference will select one of Its own member teams. 3. For the fourth and fifth year* the western conference will lie at liberty to nominate a competitor from outside its own league, but the selected team will lie subject to the approval and invitation of the Pacific coaet conference. If the two groups fail to agree on an outside nominee, then the western conference will send a member team. Officials of the two conferences, who Itegan their meeting at 10 a.m. yesterday, quickly came to an agreement on most points of the tentative agreement offered by the big nine. But the western conference wanted the whole pact to be effective next New Year's day, and there were elements of the Pacific coast delegation who favored holding off for a year so that Army'rt mighty, unbeaten eleven could be Invited. The big nine, however, remained adamant on making the pact effective Immediately and at 12:45 a.m. this morning the agreement was signed. The two conferences set up an interim committee to draw up an agreement covering the conduct of the game. Commissioners Victor O Schmidt of the Pacific coast conference and Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson of the big nine were named to this group, which also will include other representatives of IsotH circuit* and a tournament of roses representative, who will act only in an advisory capacity. The group was expected to determine how the game will l>e held, how much practice the competing teams will be allowed and probably how the gate receipts will be divided. 0 Ex-Detroit Hurler In Decatur On Business Tommy Bridge.-!, ex-Detrolt hurling ace, has been in Decatur the past few days conferring with Don Stump and other local bowling enthusiasts.

Red Blaik Is Named Coach Os The Week i New York. Nov. 20 — (t’P) — IB* may not Im the greatest threeyear coaching record In college annals. but It will do until a better i t.ne comes along. Ills boys have gone 27 straight games without a defeat, they have muds 168 touchdowns and 1.158 pointa to 141 for the combined opposition. That's an average of 429 points per game a* against the less than a touchdown figure of 53 points for the opposition. Back in 1941 when they gave him his job. he looked over the prospects un<l *ald: *'l don't know what we’re up against here. I have no idea of what sort of material we may have, but somehow we'll muddle through. I think we have a few young fellow* uround who like to play footi ball.” How well hl* boy* "like to play” under him wa» never better demon *trated than last Saturday when 1 suffering a natural let-down from | the hardest game any of them ever had played, he rallied them to one of their most Impressive victories, a 34 to 7 triumph over another powerhouse, the Pennsylvania Quakers. He's the t'nited Press coach of the week, Earl Henry <R»d) Blaik of those daxhfn'-crashin' Cadet* of the the Army military academy. Given a good taste of dust and dirt of Yankee stadium when they fought nobly to the historic 0 to 0 standoff with Notre Dame, his boy* arose to crush a Pennsylvania team that had been pointing for them.

But Blaik with military flnnnes* and a "man to man'' understanding, kept his boys keyed up for three years to meet teams that would have regarded their seaaona a* a complete auccess hud they been able to lieat Army by one point.

Then as in every* game but ope In the three long year* Irnfore, Army began to roll. And through It all was discernible, the operations of the brilliant tactician. Blaik. Along with giving America one of its greatest college football teams of all time. Blaik played a big part In keeping the sport alive during the war years. Coming to West Point with a record of only 12 defeats in 70 games at Dartmouth from 1934 through 1940, Blaik had little more than time to settle down before the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor. Sentiment was strong for scrapping tbe sport, but he interceded in the wsr department, speaking dramatically of the game's morale value and its importance for training men for combat. 0 Evansville To Play Post-Season Game Evanevllle, Ind .
