(U.R) Southern Oregon College of Education ap peared Wednesday to be headed for another season's play in the Far Western conference. Marshall Woodell, who attend ed a recent meeting of the con ference as the school's repre sentative at Chico, Calif., said there were still proponents of a larger northern California small college conference to in clude such teams as San Jose State and California Poly. But definite formation of such a con ference has been delayed at least a year. When the new California con ference was first proposed, Southern Oregon took steps to join the Oregon Collegiate con ference. As a result, the Red Raiders may land up with double-conference status. The school has included a full sports sched ule with OCC members in the 1952-53 slate and the recently adopted 1953 Far Western con ference basketball schedule will pit SOCE against all the Far Western conference schools.

PORTLAND' BI0H11Y VANCOIVII AVINUII Milt Kip Explains Taylor Talks Of Willamette By CHRIS KOWITZ, JR. Wnodhurn There's reason why football teams from the Big Ten conference regularly score Rose Bowl and intcrsectional victories over teams from the Pacific Coast conference. As a matter of fact, there are six reasons why and most of them lie in the high school level that's the opinion of Kip Tay lor, head football coach at Ore gon State college, who spoke at a meeting at the Woodburn Am erican Legion hall last night. The occasion was a gigan tic banquet honoring all the senior athletes from the eight Willamette Valley league high schools, Dallas, Silverton, Woodbum, Alt. Angel, Molalla, Canby, Sandy and Estacada. Taylor, speaking to the high school athletes, listed these six' reasons for dominance of mid- Iwnctorn tnmnc nvnr thnen frrtm the Pacific Coast: (1) Population Most of the population of the United States NEWS AND FEATURES Page 15 Conant, who has lost only two years, was given credit for the win although he was relieved in the seventh by Bob Roberts.

(S Tradition The Big conference is 30 years older than the FCC. Teams in the Big Ten have built up their traditions, so very important to fighting football, through the years. Tradition plays a big part in the psychology of football. (6) Coaching High School coaches in the midwest are, gen- erally speaking, better than high school coaches on the Pacific Coast. The explanation is sim ple. They are paid more. The high school coach at Allentown, Pa., for instance, receives a salary of $12,000 a year.
