TIGERS CONFIDENT OF EASY VICTORY DECISION ON ATHLETICS Hendrix Tiger Game and Vote of State Body on Amateur Question
 Features Friday.

All press matter emanating iron the camp of the Ouachita Tigers al
 Philadelphia has strong note of con hdence in regard to Fridays grid clasl With the Hendrix College Bulldogs or
 Williams field. As doped out by tn, Arkadelphians, the Tigers will be al easy winner, the Bulldogs being re. garded as merely necessary adjuncts to the big gala day which that entire section of Arkansas will enjoy. Ad ditlonal bleachers have been erected by the Ouachita management, and pro- visions made for accommodating a record breaking crowd.
 Second in importance to the major clash on the gridiron comes the meet ing of the governing board of the Ar kansas Athletic Association at the Ho- tel Marion, Little Rock, on Friday af- ternoon. Educators favcring modif cation of the present amateur rule and other changes in the workings of the association wlll bring their suggestions up for vote at that time. and the fu- ture policy of Arkansas colleges and high schools probably will be decided by the vote cast B. W. Torreyson as representative of the State Normal School will favor the change, while a statement from pr. C. J. Greene, in the current issue of the Hendrix Col lege Bull Dog, indicates an uncompro- missing adherence to the present rigid restrictions against professionalism in any form.
 The two changes proposed in gov erning athletic affairs may be sum- marized briefly This rule of the Southwestern Athletic Conference on amateur standing will be submitted: i: "No student shall be permitted to par ticipate in any form of intercollegiate athletics, who has played on any team under the National Association (of baseball clubs) or any organization recognized by the National Associa- tion.' As enforced by the state asso- citation, the amateur rule bars any student who shall receive compensa- tion for his athletic services, and lim- its their participation in summer base ball to membership on the teams of their home towns.
 The second change would be the for nation of separate committee, to be composed of one representative from each member of the collegiate division, which would pass upon all questions of eligibility and the like affecting in tercollegiate athletics. The present executive committee has a mixed membership of college and high school men who govern the affairs of both di- visions of the association. Dr. Greene in his statement expresses the oppo- sition of Hendrix to this proposed change. on the ground that the col leges can not afford not to cooperate with the high schools in athletics as well as other affairs.
 The Bulldogs will leave tonight for Philadelphia, and will be followed by the student body on a special train leaving Conway Friday morning at 8:30 o'clock. The necessary number of passengers has been secured, and the special will be run on both trips, to return to Conway about II o'clock Friday night. Reports from Arkadel- phia are that Henderson-Brow stu dents, although a Methodist college, probably will be among the Ouachita supporters Hendrix's adherents from Conway will be joined at Little Rock by others. and it is expected the Or ange and Black will not be so far a numerical minority when the whistle sounds.
 Two frst-year men will do much to decide the showing which the Bulldogs will make tomorrow, considered with the work of the veteran members. Parker and Newton will carry big share of the Bulldog offensive and de- fensive, and their showing in the states classic will spell to a great ex- tent what the team as whole will do, Injured members of Coach Woody's squad have improved rapidly as the Tiger game approached, and very near the full strength of the squad will be on the field or in reserve.
