So. Conference Committee
Meet At College Park Today
To Seed Teams For Tourney
Washington & Lee Favored
to Rank First and White
Phantoms Second
By FRED DIXON

Raleigh, Feb. 26.- The basket
ball committee of the Southern
Conference meets tomorrow morn
ing at the University of Maryland
to select, seed and pair the eight
teams to compete here Thursday,
Friday and Saturday in the Con-
ference's sixteenth annual basket
oall tournament. - ,
Seven teams have season rec
ords that have assured them
places in the tourney, but the
committee faces a difficult task
in naming the eighth team. Teams
assured of playing are North Car
olina, defending champion; Wash
.ngton and Lee, Wake Forest,
Duke, N. C. State, Richmond, and
south Carolina.
Three teams-Davidson, Mary.
and, and V. M. l. are tied TO-
hight for eighth place, each with
five wins and eight defeats. Dav-
idson and Maryland have COM
pleted their schedules, but V. M.
I. has game Saturday night with
Virginia Tech and one with Vir-
INA on Tuesday of next week. :
Of the three teams, MaIy ,ailI Is
probably most popular with the
fans. Both Maryland and V. M. I.
have competed in past tourna-
ments. Davidson, became a men,
ber of the Conference this past
year.
Maryland has a colorful team
and has played one of the hard
est schedules of any of the loop
teams. 1t also has dropped more
close games than any other team.
1t completed its schedule Wednes-
day night by defeating N. c. State
4l-35, at College Park. State de-
feated Maryland, 1888, in an ex-
ira period game at Raleigh earlier
n the season. D..
The committee will seed four of
the eight teams. Washington and
Lee will probably be seeded no. /
with Carolina seeded No. 2. The
other two places will be filled by
Wake Forest, Duke or State.
The seeded teams will draw
their first round opponents.
Names of the four teams not seed
ed will be placed in hat and
each seeded team will be given an
opportunity to draw a team from
the hat. The team it draws will be
its first round opponent. This also
will be done Saturday morning.
The tournament will open
Thursday afternoon with first
round games at o'clock and APO.
There also will be two first round
games Thursday night at and
9:20. The semifinal games Friday
night will begin at the same time.
The championship game Satur-
day night will start at $50. '

The Green RippleS displayed

Max Baer Gets
License To Box
In n. Y. State
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

/ United Press Stall correspondent
New York, Feb. 26.-lUP)-MaX
Baer may box in New York State
but he will not. The feelings OF
the 220-pound eX-heavyWeight
champion we're so hurt by the
treatment he received from the
New York State Athletic commits
sion Wednesday that he is going
to London to fight.
The commission granted him q
license today at the request Of
Col. John Fitzpatrick, Madison
Square Garden president, and ap-
proved q bout between Baer and
Bob Pastor March 10. But it was
all wasted energy. Baer booked
passage for England and will meet
the winner of the Ben FOord-Tom-
my Farr bout in mid-April.
Madison Square Garden, it was
learned, plans to take legal action
to prevent Baer from sailing, but
Ancil Hoffman, Baer'S manager,
insists that the contract he sign
ed for the Pastor bout is null and
void.
The commission meeting be-
came stormy when Jack Torrance
case came up.
Before the commission post
poned further action until March
10, an argument broke out be-
tween Commissioner Bill Brown,
Promoter Mike Jacobs and So.
Strauss, Jacobs attorney. Jacobs,
head of the Twentieth Century
club whose name was linked with
the Louisiana investigation into
the suppose deffort to fix" a
match between Jack Torrance,
worlds champion shot-putter, and
Jack Phillips, exploded when

Louisiana is an insult to our in
teIligence," he said. we ought to

game and they can't shove me
around. This thing was started
months ago and l know who's be-
hind it. I want to get to the bot
tom of this and if the commission
will give me two weeks more I
think I can produce something.
