SOUTHERN CONFERENCE
OPENS ANNUAL SESSION

ATLANTA. Ca. December S.-The
Southern intercollegiate Conference
convened its second annual meeting
here today with representatives from
twenty colleges on hand.
Shortly before the convening hour
delegates were discussing the prob
able withdrawal of S. l. {. members
from the s. I. A. A. which is regarded
as one of the chief issues facing the
convention. Inability Of the smaller
colleges in the S. l. A. A. to comply
with the one year and other stringent
eligibility rules advocated by the con-
ference will likely force the s. l. c.
members to withdraw and let the S. /.
4. A. settle the problems for their
smaller members.
Five other questions that will be
brought up for discussion are:
Status of athletes other than foot
bail players who performed during
the S. 4. T. {. years.
Curtailment of number of trips for
freshmen foot ball teams.
Determining definition of college
for conference purposes.
List of rules for colleges in confer
ence territory to comply with before
scheduling games with conference
members.

basket ball tournament.
