Minnesota Casts Negative Vote on Renewal of Big Ten Rose Bowl Pact CHICAGO (AP)—The first negative Big Ten vote against renewal of the Rose Bowl pact was cast at Minneapolis Wednesday by the University of Minnesota, school to announce its stand. Illinois on Feb. 2 gave provisional approval to proposed three-year extension of the series which would expire with the 1954 game under the present three-year agreement with the Pacific Coast Conference. The sentiment of all 10 members will be expressed on a conference level at the Ten spring meetings May 29-30 at Lafayette, and recently, the Big Ten named a timing committee to work out mechanics of a renewed pact with the West Coast Conference, but this spade work hinges entirely on the outcome of the conference vote in Lafayette. Against Renewal Minnesota's Senate Committee on Athletics voted against renewal. 8-1. Two students and one alumnus favored extension. The action was not surprising. J. L. Merrill, Minnesota, president, vigorously opposed signing the original Rose Bowl pact in 1946 and its first renewal in 1951. Indiana's faculty reportedly voted on renewal Feb. 4, but the result were not divulged. Wisconsin, T-7-0 victim of Southern California in last New Year's game, probably will decide its stand March 4 in a vote that is expected to be made public. Action by the other six members probably will be taken on an institutional level within the next two weeks, but the results will not be made public.
