S.. 4. A. to Have Annual
Convention Here This
Week, Beginning Friday
California Not to
Play Centre College

Los Angeles, December 6.-Uni-
versity of Southern California ath-
letic officials early today reversed a
decision last night and announced
that the football team of that insti-
tuition would not play Centre college
at San Diego, Cal. December &c.
The Trojan officials previously had
accepted an invitation to play Centre
under the auspices of San Diego civic
organizations, but differences arose
over the final details of the arrange
ments, 1t was announced. The deci-
sion not to play at San Diego was
reached in a five hours conference,
which wound up early this morning
playing on the varsity teams of their
colleges during their first year at
school This rule would undoubtedly
do away with much that is objec-
tionable in college athletics. but 1T
would also be great blow to the
smaller colleges, which must depend
on their freshmen to make up their
teams. In respect to and out of con
sideration for the smaller colleges,
the s. /. A. A. has thus far refrained
from passing the one-year rule. 1t Is
highly probable that the ruling VIII
be turned down again this year, il the
issue Is renewed. and 1t most likely
will be.
The One-Year Rule
It is certain that the smaller col
leges will vote against the one-year
rule, while some of the larger insti-
fufi0na will IA U0r the issue
The rejection of the one-year RUE
last year caused dissatisfaction in the
ranks of some of the larger colleges.
and several of them organized new
conference, the Southern conference
which is now fully organized and
ready to govern athletics at the col
leges which are members of the con :.
ference.
The question now is whether these
conference colleges will remain in
the S. 1. A. A.. or withdraw in favor
of the conference. 1t seems highly
improbable that there will be split
in the personnel of the S. l. A. A.,
though, as policy would seem to pre-
vent a withdrawal from the larger
and older association, which has gov
erned intercollegiate athletics in the
south for SO many years.
The S. 1. A. A. delegates will be
guests of the Alabama members of
the association while in Birmi.- CHAM
namely: Auburn, Alabama, Howard
and Birmingham-S Southern.
Birmingham-Sout which was
admitted into the association at the
meeting last year, will get its first
taste of S. I. A. A. politics.
Interesting developments are ex-
pected to occur here this week
