Letters will be directed to all college heads asking the names of players who re- ceived compensation Professor Taylor of North Carolina State was frank in stating he believed there were many stu dents playing baseball for money dur ing the summer and doing it with the eyes of the conference wide open. He said it seemed to be the logical con- clusion they were not playing for their health.
 The attempt to abolish the annual basketball tournament was defeated.
 An attempt to place a different inter- pretation on the retroactive rules was defeated by a single vote after a vigorous fight by Dr. Fletcher of Washington and Lee as opposed by Dr. Ferguson of Virginia. If the effort top lace under conference rules those athletes who were students before the conference was formed in December. 1921. would have succeeded the Generals would have lost their star, Pilson, from competition next season while Y. NJ. l. would have been derived of the services of their two stars, White and Caldwell.
 An effort to eliminate athletes only to play during the four years necessary for graduation was defeated after much argument This would have eliminated post-graduates and wrecked some of the college teams. The rule of one freshmen year mad three varsity years was retained.
