ATLANTA, Jan. 29.-It looks like
light fare for football teams of
Army and Navy posts next fall un-
less they organize their own leagues.
Most Southern gridiron powers are
sticking to collegiate foes.
Although smaller universities like
Mercer University at Macon Ga:
Howard College at Birmingham and
the University of the South at Sc
Wanee, Tenn, have abandoned foot
ball. members of the Southern and
Southeastern Conferences show lit
tie inclination to fill open dates
with service games.
Withdrawal of Mercer left Geor-
gia'S Orange Bowl champions with
out an opening game, but DR.. w.
o. Payne, faculty director Of ath-
letics, said:
II think we will try to find col
legiate competition. OF course. If
we cannot do 50 we might consider
q service game later on.
'Bama's Schedule Is Full.
Coach Frank Thomas of Alabama,
1928 Cotton Bowl champion, sched-
uled Mississippi Southern College
after Howard College withdrew. He
said this gave Alabama nine games,
but If any other opponents discon-
tinued football service teams would
be considered.
South Carolina In the Southern
Conference and independent Xavier
of Cincinnati were the only schools
reported actively seeking games.
Coach Rex Enright said South Car
olina hoped to book an opening
game with Fort Jackson September
10 and another game with Camp
Croft October 10. Both Army posts
are in South Carolina. Xavier's
athletic director. Glen F. Grove, said
he had open dates October 10 and
81 and hoped to fill one with serv-
ice game.
Florida, Clemson and William and
Mary were considering the possibil-
ity Of service teams as opponents,
but none had reached definite COM
mitment.
Davidson Negotiating.
Davidson College in North Caro-
lima, seeking to I'LL q date left open
by Sewanee, was reported nego-
tiating with Georgia Tech. Tulane
University, with = vacancy on the
date previously assigned to New
York University, was believed hunt
inc 4 major COLLEGIATE opponent.
Vanderbilt said 1t might let Its
Sewanee date remain open II o suit
able opponent could not be found,
but added Vandy would welcome
service games for freshmen and
members of the second team.
Furman's Coach Dizzy Mcleod
said he would schedule games with
service teams in any sport, but ex-
planned the Furman football sched-
ule already was full. Auburn ex-
pressed willingness to play. but said
its schedule lacked openings Most
of the other schools in both con-
ferences reported their states COM
plete, and no Withdrawals antici-
pated.
Last year two Southern Confer
ence teams played regular games
with service teams. Wake Forest
in North Carolina opened against
Camp Davis with $50 victory, and
William and Mary defeated the
naval apprentice team in q warmup
encounter, $50.

re-cnforces my conviction that
