The Northern California Football
Writers’ association voted 17-3 for
a playoff. The Southern Califor- j
nia Football Writers’ association
urged that the game be played in
the Rose Bowl at Pasadena Novem

as the Bowl choice in a 21-6 vote.
Northwest newspapers have ad
vocated the game, and Victor O.
Schmidt, Conference Commission

against such a playoff.
Jeff Cravath, Coach of the South

expect a playoff, and predicted CaS
ifornia and Northwestern would
wind up in the Rose Bowl.
