Basket ball next year will not in
volve very extensive schedule, be-
cause under the Southern Conference
rules the number of games must be
limited to sixteen, but an attenabt is
to be made to make the schedule as
representative as possible. Two biz
northern universities will be playa4:
one probably viii be Columbia. North
Carolina and Virginia of the south
Atlantic section and one other school
from farther south are others the
Marylanders are slated to meet Be
sides these contests the remainder Of
the schedule will be made up of con
tests with institutions in this imme-
diate vicinity. The tennis schedule is
TO involve matches with colleges and
universities in this section and also
some OF the big clubs in Washington.
Material is at Maryland for fairly
good teams in both sports. Many men
in the university have had experience
in basket ball and some have been
exceptionally good players in high
and prep schools. Philips, who won
the Junior championship of the Dis
trlct OF Columbia year ago, is one
of the best tennis players, and there
are several others only a little less
capable than he.
Addition Of these two sports will
! give Maryland representation in six
branches of intercollegiate sports
base ball. lacrosse, track and foot
/
sports are to be taken up. boxing and
wrestling for instance, but ONLY as
lntra- mural activities and as part Of
a. program to give all students opDor-
tunitles to compete in athletics In
fact, the university now is working
out general program for the most
comprehensive physical education
In the south: this program will be put
into effect to considerable extent this
1924.
DIR: e. w. Stewart. who has been
IN charge of athletics AT Clemson
College for two years, is leaving that
| institution to take the position of di-
rector of athletics and foot ball coach
| at the University of Texas Stewart
visited Texas last spring for two
weeks and held foot bail practice
the possibilities of turning out a
good team next fall is summed up
thus: i have all the material any
coach needs and could put on the field
an eleven averaging more than 19O
pounds If l cared to do So"
In talking of coaches who take UP
new berths next fall. it might not be
amiss to mention Mike Donahue, so
long at Auburn that everybody
thought he had become as insepara-
bly, part of that institution as the
engineering buildings. Donahue goes
probably the best financial arrange
ment by far of all athletic men in
the south Donahue is to receive
straight salary of $4,000 year. and
In addition gets the privilege of con-
ductnig for his own profit a student
store. Situated as Louisiana State is
that student store proposition prob
ably will mean close to $4,000 per
year in addition to the salary.
Some of the institutions in the
Intercollegiate Conference have black
| listed practically every independent
! team within the borders OF their
states in an effort to samp out summer
base ball. A part of the summer base
bail regulation provides that no man
may play with any team which plays
| pays any of its players, and in some
| states many of the teams do this.
\ Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina have added no
! teams to the professional list and
| therefore no teams are black-listed
| in these states. On the contrary
| Georgia has put thirteen teams on the
| outcast list, and none of the players
! teams in the conference may play with
any of these teams. Mississippi has
put eight teams on the list and Ken
| lucky six. So far az is known. there
| are no teams in Maryland. Virginia
! or North Carolina playing more than
| three games per week, except those in
| professional leagues.
! In these states players may take
| part in games with teams not black
| listed, but may not themselves re-
ceive money for so doing. In other
words a player may be a member
| of team which takes part in only
| two or three contests per week and
| which pays some of its players, but
on his return to college in the fall
| that player must take oath that he
did not receive money and also must
! produce a sworn statement from the
| firm for which he worked, if he held
a job in that town, that the money
received by him did not come from
! the base ball team. but from the firm
! for work which actually was done.
