Sea the Cycle-tone . , . plus many, many Conference Not Considering Split OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 10 T The Pacific Coast conference never has entertained the idea of splitting into Northern and South ern divisions for the football sea son, or dropping Montana and Idaho from the schedule. II. P. (Dick) Everest, confer ence president, quieted both ru mors yesterday and labelled them "street corner talk." He said neither Idea ever had been discussed by conference officials. Several California sports writ ers and commentators have ad vocated dividing the circuit on the theory that northern schools do not otfer enough competition to Stanford, California, UCLA and Southern California. But Everest, the University of Washington faculty representa tive to the conference, said such a plan Is the last thing the Cali fornia member schools want. He pointed out that although the Cal ifornia "Big Four" won every game this season against the north, Oregon was co-champion last year and Oregon State fin ished second in 1SH7.
