(CPE The Pacific Coast Conference gave notice Monday its contracts with the Pasadena Tourna ment of Roses, the Big Ten and the National Broadcast ing Company for the annual Rose Bowl classic will end after the game on Jan. 1, 1960. Acting PCC Commissioner Bernard Hammerbeck made the announcement here, end ing the Rose Bowl"speculation that followed the unanimous PCC dissolution vote Satur day. It will be up to the Pasade na Tournament of Roses after 1960 to determine if the Rose Bowl shall be continued on some other basis. These are the three con tracts that are involved: 1.

Planners Consider Subdivision Plat Approval of the George Mc Cormick subdivision on Mor row rd., expected to set a pre cedent for numerous others in recently-annexed areas, was referred for further study by the city planning commission last night. The commission also asked more time to study the La Mi rada subdivision, off Murphy rd., since a drainage canal re portedly threatens certain lots. The McCormick tract is one of a series of relatively nar row, deep lots lending them selves to small-scale subdi viding. City Manager Robert A. Duff told the commission. "Your approval is going to set a pattern for the rest of that area's development," he said. "There are 25 or more similar two-acre tracts." Commission's Approval At stake in the commis sion's approval is whether the city should accept sub-stand-a r d improvements. McCor mick has reportedly proposed to build a road along one flank of his tract, with six house-lots alongside it. He would deed this road to the city on its completion. But he proposed a two-inch water main, while six inches is the city's standard. And he would not include curbs or gutters in constructing the road. It was pointed out by Duff that in such cases the cost of standard improve ments would probably exceed the cost of the lots. Chairman M. Thomas Wray apopinted Earl Miller and Jack A. Edson as a committee to study the situation. "She's pretty wild through , there one or two times in the winter," Claude E. Mclntyre said of the drainage ditch .along the La Miranda sub division's north side. He said the ditch carried water down from the mountains. City Manager Duff said the PCC names the other team from among its members. 2. One between the PCC and the Tournament of Roses for the PCC to produce and manage the game. 3. One involving the Tour nament of Roses, National Broadcasting Company and the PCC whereby NBC holds exclusive television and radio rights for the game. Meanwhile, Harold B. Tu key, Michigan state Univer sity faculty representative, in dicated that the Big Ten is interested in continuing its Rose Bowl pact with the West Coast. "My guess is that there might be some folks out on the West Coast who will come up with some kind of work ing agreement to take the place of the Rose Bowl pact," Tukey said. "Some of the minds out there are very in terested in the Rose Bowl and it certainly won't die out." started in LaGrande at East ern Oregon College Monday. The 24 players were wel corned with a banquet at the college Sunday night by Shrine officials, who present ed them with jackets. The game chairman an nounced that Jim Puckett, Cove sprinting ace, has three comers so far for an exhibi tion 100-yard dash between halves at the game. They are Warren Sherlock of Wa-Hi, Walla Walla, Wash.; Spike Young of Helix high, and Tom Valet of Amity. Puckett challenged track men, college or prep, to the dash as a halftime feature which might help the take at the gate. Honors Go and Layne Reggie Hamilton of Tri City is top man in the stolen base department with 39 while Chuck Tulner of Wen atchee leads in walks, 89, and in strikeouts, 87. . Thornton Kipper continues as the league's winningest hurler with 17 victories. He leads in strikeouts, 145, in complete games with 24, and in innings pitched at 216. Bailey Brem of Eugene still has the best earned run mark at 2.75. Lewiston leads in team hitting with a .285 mark and Wenatchee is the top fielding nine with a mark of .968. commission had previously re fused to approve a subdivision because of a similar erosion problem. He said expensive prevention - work was re quired to properly contain the canal, and that such correc tive action should be a condi tion for approving - the sub division. It was generally agreed that cost of this should be dis tributed throughout the sub division, not applied only to the lots abutting the canal. Wray appointed Allan F. Perry and Paul Selby as a committee to study the prob lem and to contact the Med ford Irrigation district in re gard to the canal's control.

(UPD The San Francisco Giants will boast the world's only heated open-air stadium when they get into their new home next July. The architect who is design ing, planning and building stadium, John S. Bolles, made that announcement from his Cape Cod vacation home to day. "We'll have the only stadi um in the world with radiant heating. We'll heat our con crete slab during the cool of early summer evenings. That way we can raise the tempera ture 20 degrees under 20,000 reserved seats," said Bolles. The San Francisco archi tect, who studied stadiums in all parts of the world while planning the Giant' home, said he doesn't expect the high-pressure hot-water heat ing system will even be turned on during the fall foot ball season. Ready By Fourth "We have cool evenings in the early summer. But late summer and fall, the weather is fine. We don't have to worry then." The stadium, originally scheduled for completion at the start of the 1959 season, won't be ready before the First or Fourth of July ac cording to Bolles. "We went ahead with our working plans and the final papers were just signed 10 days ago. We've already moved three million yards of earth and rock." "We're not building a steel stadium. Instead, we're bury ing a reinforced concrete sta dium in a hill. The fill from the hill will go into the bay where the hill will shape the bowl on three sides and the fourth will look directly on the bay. We believe it will be the most beautiful stadium in the country," Bolles contends. Nearly 55,000 Edsek now on the road!

EDSEL DIVISION LESS THAN $50 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EDSEL AND V-8's OF THE eat; To The stadium itself will seat 40,000 when finished, most of them on the U-shaped lower deck. The upper deck will take only 9,000 plus a "sub stantial" press box. The stadium can be expand ed to 80,000 by closing in the open end and running the double deck all the way around. That second deck, by the way, is so designed as to vir tually eliminate the neck wrenching columns. There'll be just 26 supports, each 10 inches square. Besides that, they'll be located in the "wider" aisles so there should not be much if any ducking around corners to see the field. This will be an "old man's stadium" according to Bolles. "We're making the seats and aisles much wider and trying to make it more comfortable. "We've taken the bugs out of baseball stadiums insofar as we can. We have a bigger circle back of home plate. People seated around third base will be looking toward the pitcher. "We think it will be much better than any other stadium anywhere. And just to make it better, the city and state are putting in a freeway and streets so the fans can get to the park from downtown in 10 minutes. What more could you ask?"

(UPD Hey there, young fella, you with that glint in your eye for a pro football career ... It ain't easy. Take a look at the Los An geles Rams at their Univer sity of Redlands training camp. You'll begin to think that Ram officials instead of the armed services invented the word "regimentation." Those boys trying out for bread and butter jobs with the Rams are kept busy from morn 'til night, seven times a week and twice a day, wrestling around the grid iron. Actual practice is only a small part of the day ap proximately four hours. There are "skull sessions," my lad, and they're as tough as any course you took in epistemology or higher cal culus at college. Every hours, awake or asleep, the player is supposed to be at a certain place at a certain time. Early to Bed Girls are out. Card-playing, even penny ante, is taboo. No beer nor more exhilirating liquors. Get in bed by the 10:30 p.m. curfew or you're liable to find yourself look ing for another job.

You've heard about base ball players reporting to spring training camp fat and out of condition. Don't try that with the Rams. You probably won't be able to stand the gaff. Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF TVTHEN HUMORIST JAMES THURBER was in Bermuda, the W doings in the magistrate's court fas inated him. One de fendant had been jailed by .the complaint of a girl friend. She charged he had beaten her. He said it was just a Plat onic argument." "How come," demanded the magi strate, "that if it was only a platonic argument, the girl was naked as a jay bird when the police arrived?" The defendant looked the magistrate straight in the eye and explained, "I guess I must have knocked her naked during the argu ment." Another highlight in the Bermuda court came when a woman demanded a divorce. Her grounds? "Judge," she said, "I have reason to believe my husband is not the father of my last child."
