will be celebrating its tenth
birthday next week with the fifth an
nual boxing tourney in Charlottesville
and the tenth annual basket ball tour
ney in Atlanta.
The Southern Conference was organ
lied on February IS, 1921, after meet
ing of representatives of almost all the
State universities and technical schools
of the South in Atlanta. In the men,
bership of this great sports group is in
cluded % colleges and universities in
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana.
Next week end teams from all sections
of the organization will gather in At
lanta and Charlottesville. Sixteen teams
are to compete for the basket ball title
on February 81 and %, and March 2
and g. Entries in the boxing tourney
have been limited to Is teams likewise,
but there are likely to be even fewer
entered.
The Conference Boxing Committee
may, in fact, cut down the number to
eight in order to do away with byes in
the pairings. Reduced gate receipts are
forcing actions toward economy, and
some Of the ring teams with poorer rec
ords are saving money by remaining at
home.
Florida Holds Ring Title.
Florida holds the Conference boxing
title from Ast year. Now Louisiana
State, Tulane, Duke, North Carolina and
Virginia are all threatening to take a
away. Virginia had the first title and
North Carolina won it in 1928 and 1929.

ring team In the South Atlantic sector.
Coach Rowe's men started out with
5-to-2 victory over South Carolina and
have defeated Virginia Military In

Duke, to 8.
Capt. Noah Goodridgs of the CAROLYN
ians Is one Of the leading contenders for
the 135-pound title vacated by Phil
OConnelL, former captain, now coach
OF the Florida Gators. Including Capt.
Goodridge the Tarheels have three men
who have not been defeated in five
matches this year. The other two are
Martin Levinson, featherweight, and
John Warren, heavyweight.
Vlrgtnta'S boxers, though they bowed

sidered way up in the running by their
supporters. Capt. Box Rainey is rated
as likely to defend his welterweigrt title

LAST MlNOT Term
OF FEDERAL court
Department Of Justice Aroused
by sDrubbing' Of Prohibi-
s,h Department

Minot. N. D., March l4.-(R-The
Minot Daily News Saturday said the
department Of justice has launched
an investigation into the jury panel
Of the February term of federal court
here.
The News states that the investiga-
ton is an outgrowth Of what has been
described as "the worst drubbing'
the prohibition department has ever
received at q term of court in North
Dakota. A report of the affair has
been forwarded to Amos w. Wood
cock, washington, national director
of prohibition.
In undertaking the investigation
the News continues, the department
of justice agents who now are In Mi
not and elsewhere in the state, have
been told to investigate the follow
ing rumors:
That liquor was furnished free to
many jurymen, supposedly at the in
stance or under the direction Of some
Of the defendants at the court term.
That liquor could be detected on
the breaths of some jurymen while
they were sitting In judgment Of de-
fendants in the liquor trials.
That some Of the jurors "hob-
nobbed'' with some Of the defendants
outside Of court.
The calendar OF the Minot term Of
federal court "blew up" after three
defendants had been tried on what
the government regarded as sample
evidence to obtain convictions. Two
were acquitted and the third con-
victed Of possession whereas he also
had been charged with sale Of liquor.
Considering 1t impossible to obtain
q conviction, the government prose-
cutting att :aey moved for dismissal
Of five other liquor cases on the cal
endar, which the court granted. Sev-
eral other liquor cases previously had
been put over the term for various
reasons.

at Big Bend
WAS ADVISED TO USE VETO
Other Friends, However, Point
ed to Miseries Caused by
Nestos' Veto
WAS ADVISED TO USE VETO

Although 1t was bitterly opposed by
most members Of his own political
faction in its progress through the
legislature, Governor George F. Sha-
fer Saturday signed the Garrison
bridge bill.
It carries an appropriation of $177,-
900 for the construction OF 9 bridge
across the Missouri river at the Big
Bend, about seven miles southeast Of
Garrison.
The governors act was the finale
to one Of the bittercst battles Of the
recent legislative session. In which q
coalition of Nonpartisans and I. v.
AS joined to. pass the measure.
Although the major voting strength
in support of the enactment was pro-
vided by the Nonpartisans, and adj
ministration leaders in both house
and senate bitterly opposed 1t, care
was taken to keep from making it
purely administration fight.
This was due to the fact that I. v.
A. legislators from the Minot district
were active supporters Of the meas
ure and the administration did not
care to offend them.
Was Advised to Veto
The battle against the appropria-
ton was carried into the executive
chambers and 1t, Is known that Gov
ernor Shafer was advised by some
members Of his party to veto the
measure. Others, however, pointed
to the political miseries Of the Nestos
administration which were alleged to
be due, In part. to the fact that he
vetoed an appropriation for a bridge
at Williston. passed at the 1923 leg
iSlative session.
Estimates as to the cost of the Car
rison bridge vary. depending on the
| attitude Of the persona making tho
estimate. The range was from $780,
600 to $500, 900, with the probable
actual cost somewhere between the
two sums.
In addition to the state appropria-
ton. the structure will be financed
by the federal government to the ex-
tent OF so per cent Of the total. Tho
counties of Mclean and Mercer, ly-
ing on the east and west sides of the
river, respectively, will divide Is per
cent of the cost. The state appro-
priation, it Is estimated, will cover
the remaining Is per cent. On this
basis, the bridge would cost $708,0 900.
Mercer Must Approve
Before contract can be let and
the work started, however. it will be
necessary for Mercer county to ap-
prove the site and provide its share
of the cost.
The bill was bitterly assailed by
some residents of Mercer county, al
though it was sponsored by Rep. Got
tlieb Isaak of the 48th district. Of
which Mercer county is part.
