Until the Minnesota faculty voted to throw the matter back to the conference again, no school had voted against the ex tension. Extension of the bowl pact, for an indefinite period, was ap proved by the conference's fac ulty representatives and athletic directors at Michigan State on March 2. But because the bowl agree ment requires a waiver of legis lation against post-season games each renewal must be approved by the faculties of the individ ual members. Should the faculty of one school object, the legislation re turns tovthe conference for fur ther discussion and can become effective when approved by a majority vote. Two Opponents ' In the conference meeting last month Minnesota and North western were the only oppon ents against extension of the pact, Northwestern's faculiy, while it opposed the bowl agree ment, decided that another vote against the pact now would be meaningless because a majority of the conference will favor re newal at the next meeting, May 25, 26 at Minneapolis. Hence had Minnesota not vot ed against renewal, it was un likely there would have been a negative vote by any member to reopen the discussion. Michigan State, Illinois, Wis consin, Iowa, and Purdue have voted for renewal while North western did not report its oppo sition to the extension. Thus only Michigan, Indiana and Ohio State remain to vote on the agreement and none of these schools, in three previous votes on the bowl, ever have voted against it. Never Unanimoui The Rose Bowl agreement never has won unanimous ap proval in the Big Ten. Minne sota has voted against the con tract on every ballot and North western, initially for the bowl agreement, has opposed the last two renewals. Others schools which have op posed the pact on at least one occasion were Illinois and Wis consin. Illinois, though It ap proved the extension this time, suggested a possible return to the clause prohibiting a team from competing more than once in three years. Currently a team may compete every second year. Prof. Henry Rottshaefer of the Minnesota faculty said the sen ate rejected the proposal "over whelmingly" in a quick vote. The present bowl pact with the PCC is the third and has one more year to run. Record Busting Golf Predicted Beaumont, Tex. (U.R) The 54-hole 55,000 Babe Zaharias Open got underway today amid speculation that some of the lady pros might v again sear the par 37-36-73 Beaumont Country club course with record-shattering rounds.
