WHATEVER fears Coach Walter

today following Gladstone Williams
performance against Hampden-S Sidney
last night. American u. won, 81 to 20.
Williams, who was impressive in Amer
ican us opening basket bail game
against Maryland State Normal, was
mere SO last night as the Eagles ex-
tended their winning streak to two in
a row. Williams and Oscar Sells were
coupled as twin scoring aces and each
melted the ball five times from the field
for an aggregate total of 20 points,
enough to tie Hampden-Sidney.
American flashed better form last
night than in its opening engagement.
At one time it held 20-to-ll lead,
but the visitors spurted to 1920. How
ever, the play of Williams and Sells
was too much and the Eagles forged
ahead to stay.
The game was the last for the Eagles
until after the Christmas holidays.

y NOXVILLE, Tenn, December
X 10.-The unwieldy Southern
in Conference has split along geo.
graphical lines, and out of the
break emerged today q new group ol
l3 schools, mostly Of the deeper South
to be known as the Southeastern Con-
ference.
Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Georgia
Tech, Florida, Louisiana State, Mis-
sissippi, Mississippi State, Sewanee, Tu-
lane, Kentucky, Tennessee and Wander
bilt withdrew from the parent organi-
zation to form the new conference
which Is to operate along the lines OF
the old.
The 10 remaining members plan to
carry on, and it was reported that they
might take in william and Mary, Rich
mond, Davidson, Wake Forest or Furma.
Those now remaining in the Southern
Conference are Virginia, Virginia Poly
technic Institute, Virginia Military In
stitute, Washington and Lee. Maryland,
North Carolina, Duke. North Carolina
State, South Carolina and Clemson.
The members reelected c. P. Miles OF
r.
group, to continue as head of the
Northern division. A. w. Hobbs of
North Carolina was named vice presi-
dent, with Forest Fletcher of Washing
ton and Lee secretary.
THE Southeastern Conference will be
i headed by DR.. Frank L. McVey Of
the University of Kentucky.
Harry Mehre of Georgia was named
president of the newly organized South
eastern Coaches Association, with Ed
Walker Of Mississippi as vice president
and Harry Clark of Sewanee, secretary.
The resignation of the Southeastern
ers was announced at the annual BAN
quet last night by DR.. John P. Tigert,
president of the University of Florida.
"Since, in our judgment, the time has
arrived for more compact organiza-
ton for the administration of athletics, "
he told the group, sit seems wise for a
division of the Southern Conference to
be made solely on geographical lines"
DR. S. v. SANFORD, president of the
- University of Georgia, who was
one of the founders of the South
ern Conference In 1921, represented the
13 institutions in announcing the new
organization.
Ee told the conference representatives
thu restlessness which had entered
business and other forms of life finally
had entered colleges and athletic groups
and the 13 schools believed division
Of the conference into two groups geo.
graphically would benefit all concerned.
He said the friendliest feelings existed
between all the institutions and there
was no better than thou" attitude.
The new group planned to adopt a
constitution and bylaws identical with
those of the conference and be governed
under the same rules, except that the
position of faculty director of athletics
will be abolished and college presidents
will take full charge of athletics.

A call to arms in fight to
restore prosperity was the key
note of President Hoover's radio
address from the White House
last night in observance Of the
one hundredth anniversary OF
Lincoln's birth.
His speech, which was heard by
those attending the Lincoln Day
dinner of the National Capital
Republican Club and by other
party organizations throughout
the country, was supplemented at
those meetings by Hoover tributes
of party leaders, who asserted
that no other President, save
Lincoln, had been so severely
and so unjustly criticised.
Watson Flags Critics
Hoover spoke firm Lincoln's
former study, and took hopeful
view of the present economic
situation. The nation, he said
is attacking economic stress on
a hundred fronts; it is today be
set by enemies perhaps as danger

TWO MEASURES
ARE REPORTED
ADVERSELY
Subcommittee to Consider
General Reductions; Dale
Against Cuts

The Senate Civil Service
Committee today, in it's first
meeting this session Of Con-
gress, dealt deathblow to two
bills sponsored by Senator
Borah and designed to cut
salaries of congressional Off
cials.
In reporting adversely on his
bill providing for a reduction Of
salaries of the Vice President,
Speaker of the House, members
of Congress and Cabinet, and
others, the committee indicated
it's firm objection to any salary
reduction Of any kind at this
time.
The committee also voted ad-
verSely on Borah's measure which
would cut off mileage allowances
for members of Congress.
Saves Mileage Expenses
Chairman Porter H. Dale RO
of Vermont named Senators
Smith w. Brookhart, Hamilton
F. Kean and Kenneth Mcclellan
as a subcommittee to consider
Borah's other bill, providing for a
general reduction in salaries of
Federal employees over $1,000.
The committee as a whole did
not go into this subject, nor did
it take up Senator Brookhart's
measures providing a five-day
week for Federal employees and
placing certain temporary Cen
suS Bureau employees under full
civil service rating.
Session Is In Secret
No date was set for the sub
committee to meet or report on
the whole salary reduction ques-
ton. The session was an execu-
tive one, with no one called to
testify.
In a statement after the SeS-
sion, Chairman Dale registered
his whole-hearted opposition to
any attempt to lower any salaries
at this time. To cut salaries
now would indicate a belief that
the present economic crisis is per
manent. and no one believes that,
he said
