Big Ten Meets On y Rose Bowl Plans A J Chicago, Feb'. 24.—(UP)—Big Ten athletic directors and faculty met jointly today ‘.o, determine the basis for nego tiatlons with the Pacific Coast. Conference’ to renew the recently expired interconference Rose Bwl agreement. Dn the final day of the annua! l>p>|ng meeting, it was likely the |Big T’en would appoint a four man ; < omrnittee to meet with Pacific representatives next week to discuss the r enew: ‘l. i Then the 1 joint session might determine ! whut demands the Big Ten will have. | A Pacific Coast Conference , decision Thursday to renew the agreement left th'eleagnea exactly .1 as they were last May. when committees from each conference met f»t Madison, Wis., to dlscusa the terms for renewal. ' However, the Big Ten wants to retain its clause prohibiting . any member from playing more than ohce in three years, while it was- understood the Pacific Coast *buld IJke to see the Big Ten champion annually or at worst a provision that no Big Ten team (an compete more than once in t,wo years. f . There was little likelihood of : an- Ultimatum from cither conference as both would prefer to continue the five year arrangment, even though the Pacific Coast lost all five games under the init-l !al agreement. But there was a basis for negotiation. i Other subjects which will come liefore the joint directors-repres- • ciitatives meeting were the freshman rule, television, and a policy cn financial aid and recruiting of athletes. The Pacific Coast' Conference yesterday waived its rule to permit; freshmen to play on iptercolUgiate games next fall and there after and the Big Ten probably yflil follow suit before the current riieeting ends'. Ai committee of directors Paul Ijrechler, lowa, Guy Mackey, Purand Paul “Pooch" Harrell Indiana, made a recommendation yesterday to the directors on the subject of financial aid and recruiting, but the suggestion was not Made public pending final action by the joint meeting. 'A policy oh television, clearing the ;-way for live video oh all sports but football, \ was approved by the but again- tW policy needs concurrence Kyi? the representatives.
