THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1951 ROSEBOWL QUESTION UP AGAIN LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25 — ® — Pasadena’s Tournament of Rose Association may seek the support of the Deep South if the Pacific Coast Conference votes next month to abandon its tieup with the Rose Bowl football game. Paul Zimmerman, sports editor of the Los Angeles Times, said to- day that he has learned from “most responsible sources” that there is a grave danger that the PCC will quit the New Year’s classic. He said four northwest member. of the conference — Idaho, Wash- ington State, Oregon and Oregon ! State — were in favor of junking the Rose Bowl pact at a meeting in Riverside, Calif., this month California, too, is * on the game, Zimmerman added, and UCLA and Stanford are likely to’ support Cal. Washington, he said his sources inform him, may support the California schoels. Southern California favors contin- ued support of the Rose Bowl. Rube Samuelson, sports editor of the Pasadena StarNews, said the tournament committee is “most op- timistic that it will continue in partnership with the Pacific Coast Conference.” He added that the committee has explored the consequences of the PCC withdrawal, that it sent emi 5 i saries to the NCAA meeting in Dal- | las, sounded out representatives of various southern schools and re- ceived ample assurance that they are interested, as always, in the Rose Bowl game. Purely Speculation SEATTLE, Jan. 25 — ® — Last year’s president of the Pacific Coast Conference says a report that the conference may abandon Rose Bow. commitments is “purely specula- tion.” H. P. Everest, University of Wash- ington faculty representative, the matter is still under considera tion and will be discussed again at a meeting in February. The report the Coast Conference may abandon Rose Bowl commit- ments was published by the Los Angeles Times. Orlando J. Hollis of the Univers- ity of Oregon succeeded Everest a president of the conference thi year. BASEBALL MANAGERS WORRIED CINCINNATI, Jan. 25 — B — Commissioner A.B.(Happy) Chand- ler's quiet pledge that basebal! “would do anything the government asks it to do” broke .sharply I night into a furor over the sug- gested drafting of athletes. Chandler’s remark at his annual dinner for newsmen was a repeat of what he has doggedly emphasized before — that the national game is at the government’s command and is willing to do anything the government calls upon it to do. The commissioner, who termed baseball “the cleanest sport in the world,” noted that the game with- stood the problems of World War II; and said that he believed it would also come through the present na- tional emergency. He admitted that baseball “might be facing quite a prob’em,” however. Chandler’s declaration came even as major league club pwners were thumbing worriedly tHrough their rosters to see which of their players may have to go into service. Their fretting stems from the statement by Secretary of Defense George Marshall that 4-F athletes may be taken into the ‘Armed Forces for non-combat duty. Most major leaguers are home free as far as service is concerned, unless the government boosts the draft age and also starts to gather in married men and veterans. Only about 40 per cent of the Big Time players are in the 19-to-25 draft age class. Most of them have already seen military service and a huge majority are married.

The man who quit as coach at Ohio State last month summed it all up with one sentence: “You can’t take 19 years of experience and what-not and throw them out the window.” Fesler's unexpected appointment as Gopher coach rocked Big Ten followers with surprise. He was of- fered and accepted a three-year contract at the annual salary of $14,000, $1,500 more than received by Bernie Bierman, the man he succeeds. Fesler resigned as head coach at Ohio State Dec. 9. He said his health couldn’t stand the strain of trying to win every game. His tedm had won six Western Conference games and lost three. He took a high salaried job as a real estate salesman for John W. Galbreath in Columbus. Galbreath has been Ohio State’s No. 1 talent angel. The appointment was as much a surprise in Minneapolis as Fesler's intentions were a secret in Colum- bus.
