Top Coast Team
To Get Bowl Bid
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A
bunch of big fat question marks
pop into view as the Pacific Coast
Conference settles down to the
bulk of its circuit schedule. The
biggest, of course, is the Rose
Bowl.
Intersectional contests don’t
count in Rose Bowl bids, and those
have taken up the bulk of the
schedule so far. Most of the Coast
teqms have yet to meet each other.
Eight of the nine outfits tangle
with Conference rivals Saturday.
USC hosts California, Washington
travels to Stanford, Washington
State and Idaho tangle in their an
nual 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 Rose
Bowl would be the Uclans if the
rules would let them repeat their
