magnates of the American Basket
Ball League in executive session at
the Alamac Hotel, New York CITY.

club owners also are expected to
smooth over little rough spots which
heretofore have been noticeable in the

VIRGINIA CRIPPLES
TO RETURN TO GAME

UNIVERSITY, Va. october 10
Virginia's varsity squad, on the whole,
will be in good condition to meet Vir'
ginia Military Institute here next Sat
urday afternoon.
Injuries received in the South Caro-
lima game are believed to have been
few, though it is possible that more
sprains and bruises will show up when
the men report for practice this after
noon.
Capt. Cardwell who received a
broken nose and a bad sprain on the
Georgia trip, probably will be ready to
play guard against Y. NJ I. and Luke
is expected to be cured of his lame
ness, Benckenstein, who was the only
veteran lineman who started Saturday,
was bruised again, but if he does not
get into rough practice he probably
will be able to start against the Cadets.
Mccoy, big fellow who started in
Luke's place against the Gamecocks,
won much praise for his play.
Most of the time this afternoon prob
ably will be spent going over the play
of Saturdays contest in detail, for
Coach Neale has discovered many de-
fects which he will try to correct.
The coaches know that the Cadets
are stronger tAan shey have been in

that the Virginia attack can be given
more power and that more strength
can be added to the defense so that

FOOT BALL IN DIXIE

ATLANTA, October 10.-Southern
Conference foot ball stock took jump
Saturday with Georgia's 14-to-0
triumph over Yale in the East, but
there also was much going on in the
Dixie section.
There was nothing anti-climatic in
what had been adjudged the major
conference struggle. when Louisiana
State and Alabama fought a 0-to0 bat
tie in the mud at Birmingham.
Alabama, three times conference
champions. had heard rumblings of
the Louisiana teams strength, and in
the rain-drenched game they found It,.
North Carolina staged an outstand-
ing upset in conference play with a
7-to-6 win over Maryland.
Florida, in game expected to be
fairly even, ignored the hot weather
and finished off Auburn with a 33-to-6
count.
In Atlanta, Georgia Tech annexed
her second straight conference victory,

Virginia Polytechnic, returning from
her Colgate victory, will face strong

Maryland while Georgia will not have
her conference standing affected one
way or the other in her game with

Georgia Tech and Alabama will
meet in Atlanta, and on the basis of
past achievements and this years play
the game probably will hold major
conference attention.
Washington and Lee engages Prince

their annual battle.
