July 25 UP With the question of radio broadcasting of football sames aDDsrentlr the ore- dominating Issue, athletic heads of tbe Pacific Coast conference open their three day convention here this morning. Report of a sub-committee on the much discussed problem was expect- ed to be referred to the convention today. While the contents hss not been disclosed. It Is understood that broadcasting will be allowed to con tinue despite action of several col' lege conferences against It. The report of Jonathan A. Butler" speclsl Investigator of the conference also will be submitted during the meeting. Butler has been making a survey of athletic conditions in the colleges of the Pacific coast for more than a year. After the report has been weighed the convention will de-' clde whether Butter will be retained as athletic supervisor of tbe group. There also was the possibility that the conference will take action on a proposal that it disregard the "dead ball" rule passed by the nstlonal committee last winter. In which It wss decided that when any part of the ball carrier's body but his feet touched the ground, where he is In an opponent's grasp or not, the ball shall be declared dead and the play stopped. Football schedules for the 1933 sea-' son also will be tentatively drawn up st the meeting. Tile national colleglste athletic as sociation also will meet here July 28 and 20.

Domestic wheat markets developed a considerably firmer tone during the week under the Influence of hot, dry weather, which threatened crop dam age In spring wheat producing areas and a slightly firmer situation in world markets. The widening spread j between Liverpool and Chicago fu- j tures was regarded as a favorable j market factor. Hard winter wheat j markets were generally firmer with the continued good milling inquiry , for current offerings,' although pre miums for high protein types were revised downward, with losses ot around 6c occurring during the week.

Chicago Board Of Trade Will Fight to Last CHICAGO, July 25 UP) The board of trade's appeal from the federal closing order will be built around a test of the constitutionality of the grain futures act. This appeal, in preparation today by Peter Carey, president, and other officials of the board, will be present ed "some time within the next few days" before the United States circuit court of appeals. i. ) Today's was the first trading ses sion since the commission of three cabinet members ordered the board of trade closed for sixty days for vio lating the grain futures act. Wheat opened higher today, but later slumped down below last week's close. This was attributed to selling pressure and some traders hastened to lay the slump at the door of the closing order. Aside from this, there was no noticeable reaction to the fed eral ruling.
