An every-year subject before the

on the sports schedules of conference
institutions.
The conference apparently is in per-
feet harmony. Rumors of a division

Formed at Atlanta on February 25,

division of the Southern Intercol-

ing of representatives of several of
the larger institutions during the an
nual convention of the S. l. A. A. at
Gainesville. Fla, in 1920, paved the
way for the formation of the ma jor
Southern athletic body.

suitable there all Winter, play out

beats a game indoors, for there is
more fresh air, and we need plenty of
fresh air in our strenuous sports
today.
When you're practicing outdoors be
sure to have your body covered, even
If the clothing is thin. Getting up
sweat and then letting a cold breeze
hit you isn't so good. You'll catch
cold or your muscles may stiffen. In
side you don't get the same drafts.
That sort of an outfit is good most
anywhere outdoors. If it's too cold
for that uniform, it's really too cold
to play the game and you'll have to
get indoors Indoors you'll need only
short stockings or socks and short
running pants and a sleeveless shirt.
Round up your crowd and he figur-
ing on your equipment. Meet and
