youngster but a seasoned veteran and
holder of an untouched pinnacle In

(1) To abstain from any act of
professionalism during five years.

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

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

a considerably firmer tone during the

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

miums for high protein types were
revised downward, with losses ot

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.
