CHICAGO, Oct. 11.--(AP)--The Western Conference generally favors renewal of its Rose Bowl pact with the Pacific Coast but a battle on modifications looms.
One strong faction wants the three year clause revised or eliminated so the Big 10 champion will automatically get the Pasadena trip.
The present contract, which expires after the 1951 Rose Bowl game, prohibits any team going more than once in a three year period.
The school that wins two successive conference crowns could not be a repeat performer at Pasadena. Michigan won the title in 1947 and went to the Rose Bowl, but could not return although again winning in 1948. Runner-up Northwestern was selected.
Another group, which has support in George D. Stoddard, President of the University of Illinois Athletic Director, believes the three-year clause is sound.
