Casanova Appeals To PCC Heads To 'Forgive, Forget' By HAL WOOD United Press International PORTLAND, Ore. i UPI i Coach Len Casanova of University of Oregon pleaded with Pacific Coast Conference officials .today to "for give and forget, try to live under the same tent," in an effort to save college football on the West Coast. With all signs pointing to a for mal break-up of the PCC at a meeting here this week-end, Cas anova proposed that representa tives of the schools get together and iron out their 'differences. "Some of the schools, I under stand, plan to go it alone as in dependents," said Casanova. "I coached at Pittsburgh and Santa Clara, both independent schools, and it's no good. You need a con ference." Casanova pointed out that the Little League Continues Playoff Tilts " f Tonight's Playoff Games Al 5:30 p.m., Graham's .yjs Na tional" Guard and Van Petten's vsHand Ford.

RAINBIRD Sprinklers & Paris Authorized Dealer INDUSTRIAL Machinery & Supply 1410 Adams Ph. WO 3-4623 -nsi; ; failure of .the Pacific Coast Con ference and the inroads pro sports teams are making in Los 'Angeles and San Francisco could result in the death of college football in the West. " "If you don't believe it, look at what professional sports have done to good college sports around New York. Remember the fine football teams they used lo have at Fordham and New York Uni versity? "Recently I was in San Fran cisco, where they have both major league baseball and football. While there, when the subject of football was brought up, Stanford and Cal ifornia were passed over. All the interest was in the forty niners. "College football is too fine a game to have that happen to it. And the only salvation for the game is a conference." Casanova believes that the Pa cific Coast Conference rules of the past were too stringent. It was necause of these rules that USC, UCLA, California and Washington decided to drop out. "I think a conference that fol lows the rules of the NCAA could be worked out in the west, with the , approval , of , most ,ot.- the schools," said the coach. "In the past, the PCC had real tough rules. Some of the schools didn't follow them and therefore were fined. . "So both sides were in the wrong. A 'ittlc more give-and-take by both sii.es two years ago would have savcC the situation. Maybe it's not too late." It is Casai ova's opinion that the school faculty members should not meddle in the affairs of the con ference. "They should be charged only with handling the eligibility," said Casanova. "After all, what do they know about athletics? "I believe the athletic directors and coaches should run the con ference. If they can't do it the way they should, then they should be fired. But they start off know ing what should be done in sports." It appears that Casanova's plea may come late because a major ity of thte schools already have announced they will vole for a dissolution of the conference. "If that Comes about I fear for the collegiate football game in the West," said Casanova. "It could result in college football out here attracting crowds like the college baseball teams do." Halfback Sprains Back In Drills PORTLAND (UPI I Coach Tom DeSylvia of the Metropolitan foot ball squad received word Tuesday that halfback Paul Goddard of Lincoln high sprained his left ankle in a morning drill and has been benched for the annual All Star Shriner's football game in Multnomah Stadium Aug.

(UPll -Washington Stale College will sup port a proposal to dissolve the Pacific Coast Conference, but Ath letic Director Stan Bates said to day no move has been made to organize another league offering all sports competition for Cougar teams. J3ates said he has "no proposal or solution" to offer about his school's athletic future, but that he hoped Washington State would continue scheduling terms of the Pacific Coast as in the past. UCLA, Southern California, Cal ifornia and Washington have an nounced they will pull out of the conference and WSC said it would support Stanford's proposal to dis band the loop at a meeting in Portland, Ore., this weekend. "We will attend with an open mind," Bates said, "but if the conference is disbanded we will have to make some kind of ad justment." There has been unofficial talk here about the possibility of form ing a new league but Bates em phasized he "has nothing in mind" concerning a loop of other schools which have been mentioned as possible members of such a league. Although Bates did not list the "other schools," it's believed they probably would include Oregon, Oregon Slate. Idaho, Utah, Col lege of Pacific, San Jose State and Arizona Stale (Tempo.)
