The movement, originated by six

modified measures aimed to curb sub
sidization. The University of Virginia,

The conference, at its sixteenth an

charges Of hypocrisy" and evasion"
in connection with the observance OF
the regulations and cleared its books
of all but few fundamental laws on
the subject.
Modification of the snti-subsidiza-
ton measures came after DR.. Julian
A. Burruss. president of Virginia Tech,
had unsuccessfully attempted to have
virtually all the conference rules re-
lating to scholarships, jobs and finan-
cial aid eliminated. The vote against
complete elimination of the subsidiza-
ton clause was IL to 3.
Outside Aid Rule Modified.
IHE conference then removed meas

letes, but retained fundamental fea-
ture which provides that financial as
sistance to athletes within the direct
control of the colleges be administered
by faculty committees and be open to
athletes and non-athletes alike.
The attempt to establish a more
rigid scholastic standard met with an
adverse reception.

BROWNIE TRADERS
PULL A 'THURST0N'
Get Back Men They Sold,
but Still Have Money
Paid for Them.
By HUGH s. FULLERTON, JR~
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, Dec. 11.-There's
nj growing suspicion around
" the hot stove league that some
members of the St. Louis
Browns organization can out Harum
practically any noted trader in base
ball.
His ability doesn't show I'D much
In any particular trade, but when
the Browns went to the winter market
recently and pulled off about the big
gest deal of them all, the curious
began to investigate. Especially in
teresting was the fact that when they
bartered Joe Vosmik to Boston for
Buck Newsom, Red Kress and Buster
MILLS, they got back two players they
previously had sold without giving up
any OF the cash they had received for
them. And in the case of Newson
they had collected $4,000 when he
went to Washington in 1895.
Obviously that's quite a feat. but
It's just one of many pulled off bv
the Browns unknown trader since he
disposed of Kress back in 1892. At
that time the Browns started a series
OF deals with four players. Thev
added five others, none especially cost
ly. and have built their ball clubs for
f1ve years largely around the men Sc
cured in trades. They have realized
something like $4,000 in cash from
the deals and have six good PLAYERS
lett to use on the field or in further
trades.

Maryland's effort to eliminate the

athletic team other than that of his

II the Washington entry's wish comes
true Guard Kay Bell of the Bears
will come in handy. You see, Kay
Dee Bell is a deep-sea diver in the
offseason.
Looking at it from the other angle
Kay Bell is going to come in handy,
the Bears think, and not because Of
his diving. Only % years old. fast
and smart, Bell is something Of q
football guard. In his first year with
the Bears he has won a regular berth
and played more than a minor role in
the fine record of the Western cham
pions. who have won 10 and lost
only one game this year.
Bell is the only deep-sea diver in
a league whose players practice all
sorts Of professions and trades . i.
from cabinetmakers to plumbers and
from doctors to undertakers. Bell,
who was tagged "Tiger" by his team
mates at Washington State and
"Jingles" by the Bears, started to dive
when he was II. His father, Cap"
Bell, was in charge of dredging Union
Lake, Seattle. Kay made his diving
debut dunking in the fresh-water lake
He wasn't required to 60 very deep
but it was good training. Two years
ago he graduated and began strolling
around in Davy Jones locker OF the

To ReaSsemble in January

OFFICIALLY, in event of a tie Sum-

books as shared by the Bears and Red
skins, but the team which came ont
ahead on the coast would receive the
invitation to meet the college All-Stars
IN the annual game at Soldiers Field
