Is the Southern Conference pre-
sumptuous?
Here in Washington that queS'
ton is one of long life. Past opin-
ion has been that the conference
is arrogant and insolent in daring
to insist the District of Columbia
is conference territory, despite the
fact that not one college in the
District is a member institution.
Clemson Paved Way
Clemson College, of South Caro-
line, paved the way for the confer
ence to get out from under de-
finite charges by the District of
Columbia that the conference is
taking liberties unduly, is rashly
confident, is insolent and arro-
CANT.
Clemson argued that this rule
worked to ClemSon's disadvantage.
The conference paid no attention
and decided that, logically or H.
logically, the District Is conference
territory.
From a District of Columbia
viewpoint, the conference meeting
was more than ordinarily inter
esting.
Wallace Wade, speaking for
Duke University, actually sug'
gested that Georgetown. George
Washington and Catholic Univer-
sity be included in the confer
ence membership. Said Mr.. wade:
SCHOOLS in the conference
area, which are required to play
our teams under conference
rules, should have voice in de-
termining these regulations and
should enjoy whatever prestige

language that conditions there
were so chaotic that it would re-

Anyone stepping into the place

have to purge the department of

build a new esprit de corps out
there.

athletes went elsewhere.
While Pixlee denied that he
intended to return to Missouri,

any change in the football was
contemplated. Undoubtedly that

Griff Was Menace


Recognized, as he is, for being
a Shrewd hoSs-trader, Griff
might just as we'll have gone to
New York with a case of lep-
rosy. insofar as his proposals
being met with open arms were
concerned.
With Connie Mack. the Wash
ington owner represents just
about 90 per cent of the base
ball brains now remaining in
the American League when it
comes to spotting material
which can be converted to their
particular use.
Griff could have done some
more business with Boston in
trades which would have in
volved some infielders. but
where would he replace them?
The loop hasn't seen such a
shortage of capable inner guar
dians in years, and years, and
years.
On the other hand, there is
Q Superabundance of outfield-
ers of merit at the moment and
therefore any one or two of the
Washington regular trio could
have been replaced here and
there and the other place.
Brains VS.. Bankroll
Never a wealthy man-when
you consider that he is COM
peting against the Yawkey and
Rupert and Bradley and Shibe
millions has brought
three American League cham
pions to Washington in 10
years by matching his brains
against their bankrolls.
Not an insignificant achieve
ment, if you ask me-but the
boys are getting a bit wary of
Griff's smartness in outmanipu-
lating them on a financial shoe
string and thus he was stopped
cold this winter as he went to
the 1'ialto.
I don't think it is a laughing
matter.
On the other hand it is quite
serious. I believe Washington is
going to demand considerable

with the 1884 act which was a
flop!
Yet, nobody will talk business
with Harris and Griffith.
They're afraid of that brain
