PCC Bowl Bid May Be Settled In Heavy Action By THf ASSOCIATED PRESS ' A bunch of big fat question marks pop into view as the Pa cific Coast Conference settles down to the bulk of its circuit schedule. The biggest, of course. is the Rose BowL Intersectional contests d on't count in Rose Bowl bids, and those have taken up the bulk of the schedule, so far. Most of tho Coast teams have yet to meet each other. Eight of the nine outfits tangle with Coast rivals Saturday,. USC hosts California, Washington trav els to Stanford, Washington State and Idaho tangle in their annual battle at Pullman, and mighty UCLA visits Oregon State. Oregon and independent San Jose State knock heads on the Ducks' home grounds. Logical choice for the Rase Bowl would be the Uclans if the rules would let them repeat their New Years' Day visit of 1954. They are undefeated and lead the circuit in six of 10 statistical cate gories. Cal, Huskies Clot USC seems to be the first elig ible choice, with a perfect con ference record of two victories, But California and Washington, both v,:Ui 1-1 histories, are possi bilities. Wednesday's practice sessions didn't seem to indicate much ex cept gloomy rain up north and sunny confidence in California. Rain was the outlook for guest UCLA at Oregon State, but it's not expected to hamper the Bruins bowl-'om-over ground attack. South of the rain belt, Coach Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf, had rare praise for his inexperienced Cali fornia team. "I n pleased with the advance we've made in defense and I've noted an improvement in our b'ockine," he said. And the further south you go, the sunnier it gets. Led by tackle Ed Fouch and end Leon Clarke, the USC varsity consistently smashed the California attack as displayed by the reserves.

The council scolded the school for holding what it said were try outs of 11 prospective basketball players under the direction of head coach Art McLarney. Athletic Director Ed Fiene de scribed the sessions last April as "not exactly tryouts," but said "it's certainly not going to hap pen again." "We had taken corrective ac tion prior to the council's inquiry and gave them complete coopera tion." Fiene said. "So therefore it is almost a closed incident." Portland University was one of four schools cited in the NO A A report Wednesday. Western Illinois State College also was reprimand ed. The University of Miami (Fla.) and City College of New York were suspended for one year. 2,000-WinnerMark Beaten By Shoemaker SAN BRUNO, Calif.
