SPORTS Big Ten Continues Bowl Play Ann Arbor, Mich. -(UPD-Big Ten faculty represenutatives moved Saturday to continue the Conference Association Rose Bowl agreement with the West Coast in its past form, though leaving selec tion of a competing team to the Tournament of Roses and the Association of Western Universities rather than the Big Ten. The conference Friday vot ed to reject a new contract under which the conference, as it has for the past 13 years would pick a representative in the Rose Bowl, but also voted to leave on the books a rule under which individu al members could participate in the game. Saturday the faculty voted to appoint a committee of athletic directors to draw up regulations covering individ ual members who might com pete in the game and warned the committee, still to be named, to include in their recommendations whatever possible restrictions could be retained from the old confer ence bowl contract. The major point to be im posed would require a com peting school to divide its re ceipts from the bowl game with other conference mem bers. Thus, the regulation would remove one of the big problems which might ham per conference relations. The directors also were in structed to consider practice time allowed, disruption of classes and other factors cov ered by the old conference contract. The directors committee was to report to the confer ence at its December meeting.
