Not only will France and Canada

added to the program. They are

half mile, and a class E preparatory

In writing about the organization
Prof. Sanford is enthusiastic over it's
outlook. Il am working hard to get
some matters relative to the confer
ence lined up satisfactorily, SO as to
do away with possibilities of fric-
ton at the meetings for permanent
organization the last of the month,
February % and Is. 1t seems to all
of us down here that we should haze
within the course of "A year or two
one of the strongest athletic bodies
in the country. and be just as power
ful as the western conference. So
far | have not heard a dissenting
voice about the benefits 10 be derived
from the organization and everybody
seems to think it Will be successful"
May Remove Difficulty.
1t is understood that there is pos
sibility that Louisiana and Missis-
sippi may join the southwestern con-
ference. that being nearer their needs
geographically. About the only real
Il fIiculty anticipated was the forma-
ton Of an organization with its ends
as distant rs Virginia and Maryland
from Mississippi and Louisiana. II
the arrangement is completed for the
two gulf states to enter the south
western conference that problem VIII
be solved. leaving the conference in
all probability to consist of state uni
verSitieS and state colleges OF Ala
bana Georgia North Carolina. South
Carolina and the state universities OF
Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky and
Maryland.
Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland
will be the only states in the confer
ence which have their state colleges
and state universities combined In
one institution.
In all probability the conference.
provided there is not split over ell
gibility rules or over some question
of the number of games each school
will be forced to play with other con-
ference schools in foot ball, the FOL
lowing is pretty sure to be the mem
bership of the organization: Uni
versfty of Alabama, Alabama Poly
technic Institute. University of Ten
nessee, University of Kentucky, Uni
versity of South Carolina Clemson
College. University of Georgia, Geor-
gia Tech. University Of North Caro-
| lima. North Carolina State College.
University of Virginia and University
of Maryland. Vanderbilt University
and Virginia Polytechnic Institute
also probably will be able to gain
membership if they desire. In that
case Vanderbilt will be the only MEM
Der without status either as state
college or state university.

troit last year and is bent upon re-

Permanent ownership of the Fisher
trophy goes to the owner who wins

involves a real race. run in three
heats of fifty miles e>ch. Boats to
be eligible must be capable of a sreed
of thirty-five miles an hour. at least,
and there is no postronement for
weather conditions. AS showing what
these runabouts can do. it might be
said that. with her 25o-horsepowec
engine Rainbow averaged 3s-7 miles
an hour for the three heats of $50
miles.
AS rival to Rainbow there is Tar
Don. an Albany Boat Corporation

Princeton Is expected to defeat the

will come against Columbia, which is
