College Ouink Acve Southern Conference Outlook Bg

Tulane, Tennessee and Georgia un-
doubtedly had great elevens and Mary
land was not far behind. The play of
Tulane against one of the greatest
elevens of all time, that of the Uni
versity of Southern California, New
Year day drew favorable comment all
over the country. Although not VIC
torious, Tulane gained more ground,
and was equally as glorious in defeat
as was Southern California In victory.
The University of Maryland had the
outstanding team Of 1881 In basket
ball, and won the conference cham
pionship. Tulane University nosed out
the University Of Virginia and a fast
field for the track title. and Virginia
earned the boxing crown. These and
other sports are growing throughout
the conference.
The conference always has stood for
the finer element in athletics. The
limiting of Summer base ball and
establishment of the freshman rule
were early and worthwhile reforms. It
was one of the first to adopt the mi
gratory rule limiting participation of
transfer students in intercollegiate
sports, and barring participation by
such students in sports, in which they
had engaged at an institution former
ly attended.
The conference, realizes, however,
that many important things have yet
to be done. It has It's faults, just as
have all other athletic bodies of the
kind, but 1t Is aiming only at those
things which will accomplish higher
standards and greater harmony, fellow
ship and sportsmanship among mem
bers and toward opponents.
With such aims and with a cli-
mate conducive to all-year-round par
ticipation in athletics the future is
bright. The amendments adopted in
the recent meeting at New Orleans
bid fair to usher In a new era in con-
ference progress The greater oppor-
tunity lies ahead. Then why should
not the Southern Conference be the
leading athletic body of its kind in
America?
To this end, dedicate all my en-
ergies as president. I shall give my
earnest effort during my term of Of
fee to preside over this great ath-
letic body with fairness, dealing out
Justice as far as I can see it, playing
no favorites, and seeking by hard work
to accomplish those ideals for which
the Southern Conference was formed

of doing a job well, out of producing
something for the public good.
That man In this particular case is
Mai E. Brooke Lee, chairman Of the
Board of Regents Special Committee
on Campus Developments. Wherever
and whenever loose thread had to
be picked up, Mai. Lee picked 1t up
and tied it in its proper place. He be-
gan by settling a dispute as to the
location of the building and enabled
the construction work to begin prompt
ly, he was the biggest factor in work.
ing out plan for Improvements along
the boulevard in front of the building,
he insisted that the architectural re-
finements be changed to be In keeping
with the highest standards, and 1t was
he who was responsible for the changes
that resulted in a heating system in
which the air in the building is filtered
and purified.
Maj. Lee played an indispensable part
in the construction Of Maryland's new
plant, and In that, as in many other
things In public life, he proved himself
the kind of man that any organization
is lucky to have connected with 1t and
which no organization .aen successfully

Mai. Miller Knows His Boxing
Trained in Old Navy School, Henie Handles Bouts Well.
BY TOM DOERER-

ter how hard the going happened to
be. In 1908 he was smacked down
13 times in four rounds, only to get
up and whip Australian Jimmy
Dwyer. Prior to that exhibition Of
courage, Heine had won the feath-
erweight title of the Far East by
defeating Charles Johnson, British
boxer, after five rounds of rugged
sailing.
There was no squabbiing over a few
pounds those days, and Miller managed,
at 124 pounds, to hold both the feather
and the banty titles. He was active
most of the time and his bouts were
just as frequent as they were rugged
and few fights ashore were always
thrown in by way of keeping Heine In
shape for the saiEormen. He was as
good at taking care of himself on the
docks as he was In the ring.
For period, around 1918, Miller be-
came manager of fighters, handling a
few boys who flashed their prowess into
the headlines. He had Charley Grande,
who was whipped out of the picture by
the Wills, Grebs and billions. He
piloted Heine Orchard to a point where
1t took Charley White to push him
back, and frankie Kirk, who was
stopped by Benny Leonard.
Miller went through a period of pro-
noting, staging shows at Kenilworth
and Berwyn. The shows were good
ones, with fellows like Dencio and
Honey Boy Finnegan playing headline
roles. His shows were always attrac-
tive. Later he began officiating in
amateur and collegiate boxing shows,
while active as sports editor on local
paper.
MILLER is 40 years of age, still
1'1 able to leap over set Of ropes
to lug around tardy heavy
weights. His years and his expert
ences In the sour science make him
the most desirable referee in this
section. With Miller and Charlie
Short from whom to pick, Alexan-
dria's boxing shows are in the hands
of arbiters who rank second to no
ring official in the United States.
The Shorts and the Millers are get
ting scarce. Those boys are from
the old school, where they were
taught to fight and expect the fight
ers to give their best. They came
into the game before the racket
men spoiled 1t. Now they are COM
ing back when 1t looks as If the
slickers and shearers are being SLOW
ly erased from sport which was
once Americas own.
My hat Is off to Maj Miller. may
not agree with his decisions on occa-
sions. That's one of my many faults.
But I'm ready to say that he's about
the right fellow for the proper spot.

~ ATHOL1C UNIVERSITY and
Gallaudet basket ball
~ teams play on their own
floors tomorrow night,
while Georgetown, American Uni
verSity and Maryland invade
other territory.
George Washington, which last
night definitely proved that it has
a really great team by defeating
Duquesne Of Pittsburgh, 48 to 27,
will be the only quint to idle. The
ColonialS, in impressive style, ac-
complished what Georgetown and
Catholic U. failed to do, the Hoyas
and Brooklanders being nosed
out on Tuesday and Wednesday
nights.
MARYLAND also won another game last
night, defeating Virginia, SO to 81, In
hot contest at Charlottesviile to BACK up
its victory over Navy in the dedication
of Richie Coliseum at College Park
Wednesday night.
Out at Brookland tonight the Caroi-
nails are to meet De Paul University,
which recently abolished foot ball as an
intercollegiate sport. The home team
probably will have its hands full and
possibly may be up against proposition
too difficult Tor it to handle. Gallau-
det's opponent will be Baltimore Uni
versity, and on its home court the
Kendall Green quint ought to make a
good showing.
Georgetown goes up to Philadelphia
to face Temple The Blue and Gray Is
playing great basket ball and should
stand pretty close to an even chance
for victory. Freddy Mesmer'S team, al
though it hardly is made up Of as good
material as Georgetown has had IN re-
cent years, seems fit to hold its own
against most college opponents.
American University has hopes Of
making the best showing it has ever
had to its credit in game with Navy.
The MethodistS go to Annapolis for the
contest and, while they realize that
the odds are against them, they have a
great opportunity to bid for basket ball
fame.
Having met and defeated its two main
rivals on consecutive nights, Maryland
Jumps over 10 Baltimore to face the
school 1t has been meeting in athletics
since l892-Johns Hopkins. The Balti-
nave tllC SJLOll6Ccb SOh1Sdso-

CEoRGE wAsHINGToN's triumph
~ over Duquesne last night was its
sixth straight victory and 1t came
over one OF the best teams in basket
ball circles anywhere.
The Colonials had q battle on their
hands in the first half, but asserted
their supremacy in the last 20 minutes
of play, in which they completely out
played the invaders.
With minutes of the first half to
20, Duquesne was leading, 13 to II,
but Mulvey, who replaced Burgess, who
fouled himself out of the game, and
Parrack OF Chambers teamed up to be
the leading factors In sending the
Colonials to the front, % to l8. when
the gun was fired for intermission.
George Washington ran its lead to
80 to 90 In the first minutes of the
last half and gradually added to its
margin to the finish.
Parrack and Zahn led the ColonialS
In scoring, but every man of the six
used figured In the counting.
