Chance For New Conference Filling Pacific Gap
In Chicago for the All-Star Game, college officials deem a nationwide league unlikely to replace the Pacific Coast Conference. They name Army, Navy, Notre Dame, Miami, Pittsburgh, USC, UCLA, Syracuse, Washington, Stanford and California as potential members but doubt their willingness to join. Some favor the West Coast Big Five forming its own league, while Big Ten commissioner Tug Wilson notes schedules run through 1962 and any new ties would be four years distant.
