SOCE Teams
May Play in
Two Leagues
AOihland, Ore. (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.
