~ ATOM ROUGE, La, December IA.
- The Southern Conference to-
~ day had before it resolution
IL proposing an "open and under
stood" arrangement for the sup
port of athletes in the colleges and
universities of the South.
The resolution was presented at
round-table discussion lasting until past
midnight by Maj. w. H. Mckeiiar,
faculty chairman of athletics at the
university of the South.
Maj. McKellar proposed that eacn
institution of the Southern Conference
be privileged to award scholarships or
an emolument otherwise designated to
athletes, the sum to be issued by
voucher by university authorities SUM-
cient to cover the athletes college fees,
text books, board, lodging and fraternity
or other college organization dues; that
the universities keep complete ana
public record of such assistance; that
no other funds should be received by
the beneficiary save from his parents
or other legal guardian, and that the
receipt of such other funds from out
side sources should result in the student
being dismissed, or in the failure OF the
institution to do that, the expulsion OF
the institution from the conference.
Mai McKellar declared the gate re-
ceipts from foot ball season would amply
supply revenue for the support of the
athletes which would eliminate the
surreptitious subsidy now generally prac-
ticed, not only in the South, but in the
Nation at large"
He declared it to be his opinion that
there is no moral reason why men
should not get an education through
athletic ability. just as other men get
an education through other specialized
talents"
He announced that he did not believe
his resolution ideal, but that 'it offers
way out Of the present condition OF
affairs"
The resolution was put before the
conference after a group of Southern
college presidents, led by DR.. George H.
Denny, president of the University of
Alabama, had generally condemned "the
present system Of surreptitious athletic
subsidy"
On the other hand, war against
professionalism in college athletics was
/ launched. The executive committee

:'Open'' Plan to Help athletes
Suggested to Dixie Conference

Iy recommending the conference take
drastic steps to disqualify athletes who
enter into agreements with professional
teams before the expiration of their COL
lege careers.
Coach Charles Bachman of Florida,
who will direct the Southern all-stars
in the New Year day charity game at
Atlanta, said that he will meet his squad
December 81 for rehearsals. Harry
Mehre, coach of the Georgia Bulldogs,
has been selected as one of Bachman's
lieutenantS.
The Northern squad also will practice
in Atlanta several days before the game,
but Maj r. R. Neyland, the coach, was
not sure about the reporting date.
The stock of the Southern team took
decided slump with receipt of news
that neither Tony Holm, Alabama's all
American fullback, nor Vernon (Cat-
fish Smith, the Georgia end, will be
able to play.
This puts Bachman Squarely up
against it for fullback, as Rainey Cav
thon of Florida, the other candidate,
also finds it impossible to make the trip.
Sewanee officials are on the lookout
for a coach to succeed kirkpatrick, who
resigned. ucIS are ~ AuILDSI VI ChLl-
didates for the job.
Gus Tebell. North Carolina State
coach, has booked Presbyterian College

This completes States schedule, which
will end next year on November % with
the South Carolina game.
Alabama and Tennessee have signed
new two-year home-and-home agree
ment. Next years game will be played
at Tuscaloosa on October 18.
DR.. S. v. Sanford, president of the
conference and dean of the University
of Georgia, who surprised the foot bail
world by getting Yale down to Athens
last Fall, tntimated he may treat his
friends to another surprise in 1880.

Western was trailing only II to II at
the half.
Coach Moore was forced to use Capt.

keep this boy, who has an injured elbow,
out of formal competition until after
the holidays.
Entering the final event, the 240-

| |HE All-America debate Is about
wrapped up for 1929, but it is
interesting to note greater agree
ment this year than usual on a
number of the outstanding stars.
Four of the all-starS, Joe Donchess
of Pittsburgh, Jack Cannon of Notre
Dame, Ben Ticknor of Harvard and
Frank Carideo of Notre Dame, were
unanimous selections, so far as any
mythical team observed to date is con-
cerned.
Red Sleight Of Purdue and Bronko
Nagurski of Minnesota were so close to
being unanimous that there was scarce
ly any difference, thus establishing
extraordinary agreement on six OF the
IL men nominated for honors.
The widest range Of opinion was re-
hected in the choice of halfbacks,
although the Associated Press country
wide consensus showed Toby Uansa well
ahead of all candidates and Red eagle,
the Army captain, mastering sufficient
votes to beat out Pest Welch Of Purdue
by close margin. Lom of California,
Glasgow of Iowa, Banker of Tulane
and McEver of Tennessee ran strong in
number of precincts.
FeSler and Tappaan flashed a close
race for the distinction Of sharing the
flankS with DoncheSs. Montgomery and
the honor of being opposite Cannon at
guard. Ticknor ran far ahead of any
center. Among the fullbacks, Pug
Parkinson of Pitt and Tony Holm of
Alabama were the favoriteS, although
Welch, Marsters. Nagurski and Pom
eroy were the pick of scattered experts.
DERHAPS one of the strangest de-
L velopments of the All-America
argument was the tendency to table
Albie Booth of Yale for further consid-
Grafton. Albie's failure to shine at the
close and the fact that as sophomore
he has two more chances to make the
all-star aggregation contributed TO this,
yet support in the balloting was ccn-
Spicuously lacking for the youth who
was talked about more than any other
ball-carrier of the season.
There can be no question about
Booths claSS-not to any one who saw
the Blue midget outplay the great Red
eagle and the equally great Al Marsters
on successive Saturdays. When it's fig
ured that 10000 saw Albie on these
two days he ought to be able to muster
few votes. He got the cheers, any,
way. Next year he may get the ballots.
OUITE few of the gridiron heroes
X may be noticed tossing basket balls
around during the next few months.
even though there is not quite the
glamour to tossing a two-pointer
through the hoop as there is plowing
over for touchdown.
Booth is among the "cage" stars at
Yale. He captained the freshman
basket ball team. Stevens of Cornell,
Tys of Columbia, Baker of Pittsburgh
and Wittmer of Princeton are others
making quick hop from the gridiron
to the court.
Harmeson of Purdue, Schoonover of
Arkansas, Rothert of Stanford, Clark
of Colorado College, Churchill of Okla
homa, Fesler Of Ohio State, Truskowski
of Michigan, Tanner Of Minnesota and
Bergherm of Northwestern also rank
high in the two sports, which have the
arts of passing and blocking in common.

4 a ising basket ball campaign to-
night with Maryland State
Normal as its guest foe.
Galiaudet, too, will open its season,
meeting Benjamin Franklin at Kendall
Green.
In a third game on tonight's card
Georgetown will play Baltimore Uni
versity in the Tech High gym and
hopes to do lot better than when 1t
lost surprisingly to Gettysburg last
week as a starter.
However, the Hoyas will be without
one of the strongest players, Freddie
Mesmer having wrenched an ankle IN
practice. Taking his place at guard
will be Paul Dillon, former center.
Don Dutton will play center. Capt.
Maurice Mccarthy, jr., will play the
other guard and Hal Meenan and wal
ter Morris will be the forwards.
American University has back all OF
its last years dependables except Bruce
KeSsler and Forrest Burgess, the latter
having transferred to George Wash
ington. LaFavre, Schloss, Lichliter,
Olsen and Field probably will start:
Gallaudet expects decisive victory
over BENJAMIN Franklin. In the spot
light will be Del Cosgrove, who led
Washington collegians in scoring last
season.
MARYLAND is off to a victorious start,
with a 27-to-23 triumph last night over
william and Mary at College Park. The
Terrapins led by 16 to at halftime,
but the visitors rallied strongly and
made it a real contest in the last 20
minutes.
Bob Gaylor was Maryland's big shot.
His four double-deckers and 5 points
from the foul line gave him high total
of Is for the night. He was mostly
responsible for Maryland's advantage at
halftime and late in the contest his
successful free toss helped the TerrapmS
to build up a skimpy lead.
Silverman at left forward was hailed
as the William and Mary ace, but
Mitchell Mozeleski, at left guard, stole
his thunder. Mozeleski got 10 points
while Silverman was being blanked.
Maryland used IL players and six
of them had only few days OF prac-
tice, as they were with the foot ball
SQUAD until after last Saturdays game
with Western Maryland.
Summary.

example, is practically impossible, not
to say wholly unfair. And even in point
ing out worthy material for a nom
existing coach good many accomplish
ed performers have been omitted.
Farris Real Leader.
Capt. Ray Farris of North Carolina Is
selected as captain for this mythical
squad because he is a leader on the
gridiron and off. He has earned place
upon All-Southern first teams and ALL
America second elevens. And the stu
dent body at Chapel Hill has named
him as their president.
Johnny Sloan, Virginia's captain, is
named as alternate for very similar
reasons. The only injury Sloan received
in four years of foot ball at Virginia
kept him from three games this Fall
and probably cost him an All-Southern
position. But he is recognized as one
of the finest of Cavalier captains. And
he is president of the Virginia Athletic
Association and member of many stu
dent organizations.
In three seasons as a regular, Sloan
took the ball 499 times, kicks and plays
called of by penalties excepted. He
gained, by running 1t himself or by
passing, total of 2,199 yards, or an
average of just about Az yards each
lie
with q team that failed to win half its
games. This season his average return
of punts and kicks received was 26
yards. He has made remarkable
record.
It is not possible to praise each Of
the men as individuals, though many
deserve more than mere mention by
name. But some peculiarities are worth
comment.
Plenty of Good Backs.
This was a fine year for backs in
the South Atlantic States, but none too
good for nnemen. CenterS and ends,
on the whole, were better than tackles,
and these, in turn, outShone, the guards.
Adkins OF Carolina, who played tackle.
is named as guard largely because it is
dif1lcult to keep him of any squad.
He could doubtless perform better than
some of the guards selected.
But, for all the wealth Of backfleld
men, outstanding fullbackS were few.
Dunn of the Cadets is, perhaps, the
only distinctive fullback in all this
company. Under the modern style of
play the fullback is gradually passing
as an individual performer.
Hooper. the. v. P: l.. quarterback,
sometimes performs the fullback's duty
Of defense. And for Virginia much of
the line bucking was done by Thomas,
who went to the safety position when
the Cavaliers did not have the ball.
North Carolina has placed eight men
in this select company. But this is no
less than is deserved by the great team
that has been developed at Chapel Hill
this Fall.
G. M. I. and Maryland are both rep
resented by six men. The Cadets this
season won the Old Dominion title for
third q MoFUlond
November.
On the whole, the season Just ended
has been an interesting one within the
South Atlantic group. Because of the
backf1eld strength there has been more
scoring than usual. A witness to this
is the Tar Heel team, with a 32-point
average. And in few games played have
these conference eleven, failed to count.

That 10o-yard dash of Jack Elders
wasn't just a break" and who can
tell what Rockne's men might have
uncovered had they not got those
precious z points through that lucky
(for them) pass of eagles?
I think that Notre Dame is de-
serving of the 1929 national foot
ball championship because the Rocks
of South Bend went through the
toughest nine-game schedule any
team in the land faced, without
losing or tieing game. think that

attack that has long been in general
use.
Its success depends upon the player
who cuts. His skill III being able to
feint and tie up the player covering
. him is the secret of making the play
work. He has to use great initiative
in his first moves and dare not re-
peat the same stunt in foollng his
immediate adversary.
Because of the fact that success in
basket ball depends chiefly upon the
individual being able to .twit his
adversary, its close students claim 1t

in quick thinking and quick action.
