But let me re late a true story one told by Washington end Lee Folkins and attested to by 10 other players. The incident occurred lasi Saturday in Portland's Mult nomah Stadium during the closing minutes of the game between Washington ana Ore gon State. After trailing all afternoon, the Huskies had the ball on OSC's 32-yard line and were driving for the touchdown that would tie the game. The determined Beavers had dug in.

On the next play, Hivner Redskin Coach Defends Settling for Washington - IUPD - You're the coach of the Washington Redskins, you have first and 10 on your own 20, there are only eight seconds to play and the game is tied 27-27. What do you order your quarterback to do? Run out the clock and preserve the tie? Or gamble on a last-ditch bomb" and try for a victory.' That was the situation here last Sunday when the Wash ington Redskins pere playing the Pittsburgh Steelers. The choice was coach Mike Nix on's and he didn't hesitate: he told Quarterback Ralph Gugl lielmi to freeze the ball and play it safe. The Goog did - and more than 25.000 fans erupted in miuhtv boos.

And Nixon himself was questioned sharply about his San Jose State Wants To Join New Palo Alto, Calif.- (UPD - San Jose State, riding high after upset victories over Stanford and Arizona State university, asked today to join the pro posed new "Great Western athletic conference. Athletic Director F. T. Mc pherson, rejecting proposals that the Spartans seek admit tance to the "Big Five," said his organization would prefer the new conference. "We haven't been asked to join yet," said McPhcrson, "but we would like to join u such a conference is formed. If the organization is complet ed, it will mean that nearly every major school in the West will be in a conference and it would be hard to sched ule football games without being in some league." Proposed members in the new league, which is called the "Five States" loop by some, are Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State, Brig ham Young, Arizona State, New Mexico and Arizona. San Jose State currently is a member of the West Coast Basketball association.

Then George Fleming kicked the winning extra point. The four-leaf clover? It got lost in the shuffle. And there were rumors that the stadium grounds keeper had departed south toward the desert country. Tie Game decision at the Redskin s weekly press luncheon. "I'd do it again," Nixon snapped just as sharply. "If Goog had passed and it was picked off, Pittsburgh had one more time out left and could have gone for a field goal. Anytime I can clinch a tie instead of taking chance that could cost us a game, I'll take the tie. I'm sorry the fans felt otherwise but I think we did the right thing." "Sometimes," observed owner George Preston Mar shall, "a coach and the play ers must protect the fans from themselves." "Sometimes a coach has to protect himself from the own er, too. If Mike had gone for the bomb, I would have shot him." Conference said he felt "the Big Five is not in our future." , San Jose Slate (3-1) had the only major winner at the ses sion.
