Sees Conclusion Os Rose Bowl Pact WASHINGTON UP — The end of the Big Ten’s Rose Row! pact with the Pacific) Coast conference and a new program of regional telecasts of football games Were foreseen today by Dr. John A. Hannah, president of Michigan State College. Br. Hannah, in a copyrighted interyiew with “U. S. News and World ftehort,” a weekly news magazine, said it was his opinion that the Big Ten's contract to play ih the Rose Bowl game will not be renewed, when it expires n,ext yeai. He replied, “I think they think about as I )do?’. when asked if he believed presidents in the Pacific Coast Conference would be receptive to eliminating the Rose Bowl. Dr. Hannah, who is chairman of a special committee of educators that investigated college said some sort of television control of college football games is needed. “But." he said, “it is pretty hard to answer the criticism of present system) of televising ofle ggme each week on a nationwide basis. “I have a- notion that in the end’ we are going to have regional TV games,’’, he said. “Instead of one game that maybe little interest to many areas being telecast clear across the country, there will be raiddiewestern games for the midwest, an eastern game for the east, etc. And then some provision may be for sharing the revenue. ’ Dr. Hannah also said the college basketball “point*-shaving” scandal would never have occurred “if we had kept intercollegiate basketball on the campuses where it belonged.” Pair Freed After Serving 20 Years Served Many Years : For Slaying In 1933 J.A GRANGE.
