 But two Ohio towns have professional teams composed for the most part of all- American players of various years lined up in opposing teams which constitute the strongest professional gridiron forces ever banded together.
 Every year for sixteen seasons the rival teams of Canton and Massillon have lined up for games and in these years honors have been practically even.

Tulane, Mississippi Aggies and Georgid Quit s. A. C..

New Orleans, December 11.-Tulane uni versity, Mississippi Agricultural and Me- chanical and University of Georgia have withdrawn from membership in the Southern Athletic conference, according to statement made here today by Prof Douglas s. Anderson. Tulanes rep resentative at the meetings of the South err Intercollegiate Athletic association and the- conference, held in Charleston last week.
 The reason for the three institutions withdrawing, Prof. Anderson said was the conferences decision to enforce the flat one-year residence rule
 Prof. Anderson said the break over the conferences adoption of the rule resulted from almost all the schools having prac- tically completed football schedules for 1917.
 The resgnations, he said, were pre- scented at an executive session of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-12-12

conference at Charleston just before ad- journment, and no formal announcement was made by the officials there. With drawals of the three schools, it was stated left the conference with five mem bers-Clemson, Georgia Tech South Caro- lira, Tennessee and Auburn.
 The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association rejected the one-year rule at it's meeting and the three schools retained their membership in that organization
 According to Professor Anderson there will be no clash between the collegiate governing bodies next year. Suspension of the rule prohibiting the playing of nonmembers by the con ference will allow those holding S. T. A. A. membership to play freshmen. Conference teams may also play first year men against nonmembers but must abide by the flat one-year rule in games with Tennessee, Auburn Clemson, South Carolina and Georgia Tech

Farmer and the Administration

We favor the vigorous prosecution
of investigation and plans to render
agriculture more profitable and coun-
try life more healthfu1, comfortable
and attractive, and we believe this
should be dominant aim of the ma
ton as well as the state. With all its
recent improvement, farming still
lags behind other occupations in de-
velopment as a business and the ad-
vantages of an advancing civilization
have not accrued to rural communities
