Two Spots Unsettled
In Conference Title
Basket Tourney
Richmond, Wake Forest
Appear Likely to Be
Other Qualifiers
RX the A Associated Press


RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 20.-South-
ern Conference basket ball teams
headed into the final three days of
the 1941 campaign today with two
berths in the annual championship
tournament yet to be filled.
North Cardinals defending cham
pions, who will be top-heavy favor
ties to repeat when the title event
opens in Raleigh next week, have
won 13 straight loop games.
They will close out their card
against Duke at Durham Friday and
against Davidson at winston Salem
Saturday.
South Carolina, William and Mary,
Washington and Lee. Virginia Mill
tary Institute and Duke also have
clinched spots.
Battling for the two remaining
positions are Richmond, Wake For
est, North Carolina State and Glenn
son.
Richmond engages William and
Mary tonight and Washington and
Lee on Saturday and even if they
drop both will finish with 500 per-
centage in dozen conference games.
This will be good enough to land
the Spiders in the tournament unless
Davidson stages a double cage
miracle by trouncing South Carolina
and North Carolina in their remain
ing games, also for a 500 average.
Wake Forest has won six and lost
five, with South Carolina to be
played on Friday and V. NJ. I. on
Saturday. A triumph in either one
would insure the DeaconS a bid. If
they should lose both, however, and
Clemson and N. c. State win their
games, the, three clubs
would wind up in a virtual deadlock
for the eighth position.

To 81; Other Leaders
Also Are Selected

BY a unanimous vote, a large
turnout Of Potomac River Sailing

.tion since its inception seven years
ago, Tomalin had served on numer-
Gus committees and held the post

the Office of secretary-treaSurer
since the association was formed,
unanimously was reelected to that
post to begin his eighth term.

S. A. and one Of its most active
members.
In his annual report Clephane
announced a membership of 81 and
said that 16 new boats had been
added to the rolls during 1910. New

bered 81.

as shippers Trammell, Jerry Mum
son, James A. Alger and Dick Shaw,
and crews, Frank HuSeman, Weiser,
Mac Lamborne and John Swayzey.
Racing will start at pm.
The membership discussed at
length the advisability of sailing
the spring races, which begin in
April, in series Of double-headers,
thus assuring larger number of
races than the usual six. The ma
jority was in favor of the sugges-
ton, and the new Advisory Com
mittee was authorized to work out
plans.
A committee was appointed to
confer with authorities on receiving
permission for boats to tie up at the
Hams Point sea wall during the
