Often Frown on

Six Teams Are Given Fair o.
portunity to Wrest Title
From Missouri

Atlanta. Feb. 28.-(P-Fickle for
tune frequently frowns on basketball
champions. Six teams at least rate
to lift the Southern conference crown
from the University Of Mississippi in
the title tournament here March l.
Washington and Lee, Georgia Tech,
Duke university. Kentucky. University
Of Georgia. Tulane and several 9TH

Yet past records indicate that po-

the meet again.
The Golden Tornado of Georgia
Tech has flashed winning power
against all opposition in pre-tourna-
ment play. but the opponents have
as a whole. been weak. Only Ken
lucky. Alabama and Georgia were
worthy tests.
The Generals Of Washington and
Lee, OH the other hand, have played
a harder schedule and shown greater
scoring power. The Lexington team
has averaged a point a minute all
season.
Duke university, new member of
the conference, has probably the best
balanced five in the south with every
man adept in finding the basket and
on the floor.
While Kentucky. Tulane and
Georgia all have had their set-backs,
they have consistently battled the
best on about even terms. The Blue
grass Wildcats defeated Notre Dame,
Washington and Lee and other strong
quintets, while the New Orleans
Greenies found only University Of
Alabama and Alabama Poly too much.
Georgia Loses, Too
Georgia has won more games than
any team in the conference. but also
has lost to the Tornado. Washington
and Lee and couple Of others.

first taste Of the twice-daily practice

Car Is Loaded
By New Machine

SAN JUAN, Jan. 26.-The first
carload of vegetables to be loaded
with the aid of the new National
rotary packer, the invention Of u.
J.. Boehnke, san Juan manager for
the Rio Grande Valley Vegetable
Growers Exchange, was loaded this
week.
Though a demonstration had been
arranged for last week a few minor
defects and necessary adjustments
caused a delay and the new device
did not go into operation until
about the middle Of this month.
The affair consists Of a revolving
wire tray that carries the vegetables
under a set OF sprays which clean
them thoroughly, thus doing away
with the old method Of washing them
more or less by hand.
After the vegetables are washed
they are placed in a crate which is
automatically ~iee-packec.
The first carload of vegetables to
be sent out by the new packer was
a carload Of beets.
