CHATTANOOGAIS
TRYING TO BREAK
UP ASSOCIATION
"Dixie Conference" Is Pro-
posed by the University
of Chattanooga

Chattanooga, December 1.-THE
University of Chattanooga today
awaited replies to invitations which
it sent to colleges opposed to the
"one-year rule" proposing formation
of a new Dixie Conference" The
proposed conference would be formed
under rules similar to the Southern
intercollegiate association, with the
exception of the "one-year rule"
adopted by the latter at its recent
conference in Birmingham and which
caused the University of Chatta-
nooga's withdrawal from it's member
ship.
Colleges invited included: Centre,
Danville, Ky. Mercer university. Ma
con; Oglethorpe university, Atlanta;
Pennsylvania college, Lexington, Ky;
Howard college and Birmingham
Southern. Birmingham; Mississippi
college, Clinton. Miss; Millsaps col
lcge, jackson. Miss. Furman uniyer-
sity, Greenville, S. c., and Wofford
college, Spartanburg, S. c.
These colleges, who voted against
the one'year rule at the Birmingham
meeting of the S. /. A. A., were asked
Cor their opinion on the proposed
Dixie conference" Those behind the
movement say that the rule forbid
ding freshmen to play would mean
many of the smaller colleges would
have difficulty in putting athletic
tea ms in the field.
Favorable replies, it was said.
WOULD probably mean inviting other
colleges with. small student bodies
throughout the south to come into the
new conference.

which appears certain is that he will

be. stated that Freddie has defeated
Budd in a previous bout in Birming-

expecting him to submit to a single

without putting up a whale of a bat

can be counted upon TO make things
