WITH THE SCRIBES
 OF OTHER CITIES
WHY NOT A "BIG TEN"
 CIRCUIT IN THE SOUTH?

Why no a Big Ten'' in the south? The question arises out of the revival of the old southern conference agitation, with it's plea for a one-year rule and other strcter legislation as related else Knoxville
 l There is no question that the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association as at present constituted is unwieldy in the ex- treme, really represents two if not three different sections, has too many small schools which interfere with the regula- tions of the larger institutions and is so hopelessly split in section. sentiment and
 schedule that it is rarely possible to se- lect a champion.
 The south needs a Big Ten some thing like the middle western conference
 and needs it very plainly. Why not
 choose ten colleges from the following
 and let each one of them schedule at
 least four or five ''conference" games in a season: Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Tennessee. Se-
 vance, Clemson, South Carolina. Geor- gia, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Alabama,
 Mississippi A. and M. and Mississippi. The two Louisiana schools, Tulane and
 l.. S. IT., are omitted from the list. as
 they are really connected with the south
 west and have not figured in the s. I.
 A. A. championship rating in years.
 Two of the twelve schools named would
 have to be eliminated to keep the con-
 ference within the ten-school limit. South
 Carolina usually figures more in the
 South Atlantic race than in the S. I. A.
 A., although Clemson. in the same state.
 is welded to the S. l. A. A. and plays
 South Carolina, Citadel, Georgia, Auburn
 and Tech, of the association teams,
 every year.
 Associations of smaller colleges could
 easily be formed through the same ter
 ritory with the Big Ten just as is
 the case in the middle west. Chatta-
 nooga University. Howard and Birrning-
 ham-Southern of Birmingham, Mercer
 university Oglethorpe and others in this
 immediate section could form compact
 circuit of their own and develop their schedule with annual rivalry in view An
 annual championship race between these five and perhaps three others to be se- lected would add feature that would be enjoyed and probably could be util-
 ized at the box office, where the smaller teams usually suffer.
 Whatever the outcome of the forth coming meeting of the S. l. A. A., it is evident to every one that some sort of readjustment must take place this year or next, as the passage of rules to fit schools with attendance above 900 and
 those of 100 or 200, at the same time, is growing more and more impracticable as the game develops in the south. ChattanoOga Times

Mcdonald Seizes AU EUidence In
 Baseball Scandal

Chicago, December 7.-Chief Justice Charles A. Mcdonald seized grand jury evidence in the baseball scandal today, following discovery that copies of pa pers in the case had been obtained by Maclay Hoyne, states attorney, shortly before his retirement from office Mon day.
 All of the original papers were turned over to the judge who ordered them impounded by the clerk until the cases of eight White Sox players who were indicted come to trial.
 Judge Robert Grove, who succeeded MT. Hoyne, as states attorney, ordered an investigation after Hartley Replogle, former assistant states attorney, who conducted the baseball investigation, had notified Judge Mcdonald that MT. Hoyne had demanded copies of the pa- pers last Friday.
 MT. Hoyne later said he asked for the records simply to have copies made to be put in the cases in his office, for which he was responsible, and that the copies were there now, sealed up.
 AS outgoing states attorney I was
 
 Hoyne. and I ordered MT. Replog1e to turn them over to my secretary. Mr. Replogle, as assistant states attorney, of course, had to do as l ordered. There is no scandal and nothing wrong"
 Federal Judge K. M Landis. baseball commissioner, when informed of the affair by President Johnson of the American league, said that if it was found any of the evidence had been tempered with or was missing, federal action would be taken against the guilty persons.
 Baseball is going to be cleared of gamblers and there is no one who will be allowed to interfere" said Judge Landis. ~~
 MT. Repogle tonight said he had acted under Mir. Hoyne's order and could not say what use had been made of the papers after they left his hands. Thomas E. Nash, attorney for George Weaver, one of the White Sox players indicted on charge of accepting a bride in connection with the 1919 world series, said that the original evidence was in court last Friday, as he had seen it at that time.

BULLDOGS TOI IA VE A GOOD CAGE OUTFIT
By MAXWELL ALLEN

This week after registration for the
 winter is over at Howard, the Bulldogs will start training for basketball nd from the reports that are being .cat- tered over the campus these days it looks like Howard is going to put out
 team that will keep lot of good
 southern lives on their toes for the
 whole season.
 At present Howard has three of last years stars in the camp. These fel- lows are Othar Afford, who by the way
 is captain of the Bulldog five; Pea
 head Walker and Speed Acton. Of course Howard will be minus the serv- ices of o. B. Newman, who was a ,eam by himself last year. but they will have Ia good man for center in Blackwelder.
 Blackwelder did not play with the Bull dcg gs last year, because he was not in
 school, but in 1918 he played with the
 Bulldogs, and he played some game,
 too, so he ought to be mighty good at |center this year. At one guard, Afford
 will again be seen in action, and this
 fact by itself is enough to make the most pessimistic Howard suppocter
 have hope for a successful year for
 besides being husky, Afford is fast a d
 he does not know the meaning of the
 word quit.
 Acton will probably be given guard
 to take care of this season, and if he
 performs as he has done in the past,
 he will give every would-be goal shoot
 Ter a whole lot to worry about.
 At one forward position, Peahead
 Walker will do work for the Howard
 ites. Walker played this position last year, and no one around the Howard
 campus is worrying about the way he
 will perform, for Peahead played swell game last year and he is expected
 to repeat
 Aside from having these four old men back Howard will have McCulloI Ugh, for places under the Howard colors, with the prospects, of more coming cut before the call for candidates is over. In the coaching department of the game, the Bulldogs are as well off in having Coach Marshall as any team in the south Marshall has coached bas- ketbal1 before, and he has had lots oi experience on a first class team, as he was one of the mainstays of the Jlni- versity of Maine's quintet when he was a student there.
 The schedule that the Bulldogs will have to go through this year will be that they have just closed, but with the material that they now have on hand it is safe bet that they will 1 taste of victory as often as the teams that they play will.
