Arrive For
Big Meet
PORTLAND (U'PI) Faculty
representatives to the Pacific
Coast Conference were arriving
here today for a weekend meet-
ing aimed at wiping out the PCC
as a force in American sports.
There seemed no doubt in any
one's mind that the two-day spe
cial meeting here would wind up
Sunday with a vote for dissolution
of the conference that has been
riddled with dissension since .it
levied heavy fines against some
of its members for violations of
the conference code.
It was learned here today that
conference coaches, as recently as
four months ago at another Port
land meeting, submitted resolu
tions to the Conference expressing
confidence in the future of the
combine if dissolution ' could be
avoided.
