Pluy-us-You-Can Plan
For Duration Before
Chieftoins Today
BY ROMNEY WHEELER,
Associated Press Sports Writer

ATLANTA, June 26.-The South
eastern Conference, mass producer
of bowl football teams, headed to-
day toward wartime suspension un-
der voluntary freezing" an
esthetic.
Up for informal discussion by
representatives of at least eight
members of the athletic federation
and eventual final action late today
by the conference Executive Com
mittee-was plan which would:
l. Freeze the conference for the
duration, preserving membership,
rules and regulations for revived
operation after the war.
Q. Make individual schools re-
sponsible for conduct of their inter-
collegiate athletics, ON q play-as-
you-can, if-you-can basis.
3. Cancel all contracts and obli-
cations previously made by or in
behalf of the conference.
4. Suspend operation of the Office
OF athletic commissioner for the
duration.
Tulane Head Advances Plan.
The plan advanced Informally by
Tulane President Rufus C. Harris,
who also is president of the confer
ence, and DR.. w. d. Funkhouser of
Kentucky, conference secretary. for
consideration of the membership at
an open meeting.
Football as we have known 1t in
the past-big time football, subsi-
ulzed footballs as dead as dodo,"
said DR.. Harris. But II we mean
football as I have it in mind
that Is, football for the benefit of
all the boys, as part of our regu-
lar athletic program-then I think
1t can be continued.
We have worked too hard to
build up strong athletic confer
ence to let 1t perish now. We
should freeze it in its present form.
without altering It's rules, and leave
1t ready to resume operations with
the same membership after the war.
Meanwhile let the individual schools
be judge Of their own athletic reg
ulationS."
In effect, he explained. the freez-
Ing plan would permit each school
to use whatever athletic material
was available-civilian students.
naval cadets or Army specialist
trainees-under such eligibility rules
as appeared desirable.
DIR. Harris Gives Example.
For instance" he said, Tulane
might offer to open its season against
Auburn, using naval cadets. Au-
burn, however, might reply: The
game would be unequal. We cannot
use Army trainees. We don't want
to play In that case, it would be
Tulane's problem to find another
opponent"
Meeting here with the Executive
Committee are representatives of
Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Georgia
Tech, Kentucky, Louisiana State,
Tennessee and Tulane. Members of
the conference, but withdrawn from
athletic participation, are Florida,
Mississippi State, the University of
Mississippi and Vanderbilt.
Former Gov. Mike Conner Of
Mississippi is conference athletic
commissioner. He was hired two
years ago at salary unofficially re-
ported to be $4,000 year.

l5-month-old argument-the one
centered about the respective abili-
ties of Shut Out and Devil Diver
gets another going over today with
the running of the $4,000 Brooklyn
Handicap.
Both of Mrs. Payne Whitney's star
4-year-olds are entered and Trainer
John Gaver won't take sides in the
argument but says he wouldn't be
surprised If his charges finished
one-two in this race, which high

Shut Out Totes I24 Pounds.
Shut Out was SO unimpreSsive In
his workouts early in 1912 that Eddie
Arcaro. stable jockey, passed up the
son OF Equipoise for the sturdier
Devil Diver in the Kentucky Derby.
Shut Out won and then went on to
become the years money-winning
champion.
Devil Diver had all the better of
the debate again this spring while
Shut Out had a $3.50 record until
Mondays Celt Handicap, when he
registered his first triumph since last
September.
Shut Out today carries 124 pounds,
including George Woolf, while his
stablemate totes 123. The third mem
ber Of the Greentree trio-The
Rhymer-also was q winner in his

Everybody Agrees as Seguro
Declares He's Good Netmun

in today's title match. And Tom
Brown and some of his pals from
the West Coast figure that since
Tom got this far in the 59th Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic ASsocia-
ton tournament, he has as good
a chance as Segura to win.
But Southern California's Earl
Cochell has a sparkling clear idea
of why Brown probably won't defeat
the Ecuador boy. Cochen took a
bruising humping from Segura yes
terday, when Segura was a pretty
good" tennis player, and hates to
think of what may happen to Brown
today-when Segura is planning to
be better.
Every one keeps telling Segura he
is good. They remind him that he
is ranked fourth nationally-that
just last week he won the Eastern
intercollegiate title at Montclair.
N. J.-that he hasn't lost a set of
tennis all season.
So it's no wonder Pancho has
wasted little time with his Span
ish-English dictionary looking up
self-derogatory phrases to utter
when folks tell him he is a sensation.
Yesterday, after his merciless, 13,
6-3, 60 trouncing of Cochell,
Pancho just shrugged his shoulders.
Il was pretty good today" he said
simply. Tomorrow I will be bet
ter" And no one minds his frank
ness in saying it. \
Brown, who yesterday beat jim
my Evert of Notre Dame, 60, 46,
6-3, Ga, has two chances today to
get his name in the NCAA history
book. The lesser of these is his
singles match with Segura. The
better one is his doubles contest,
along with his buddy, Harry Butti-
mer, against John Hickman and
Walter Driver of Texas.

plenty hot yesterday in eliminating

There are managers and players
In the American League who will
tell you that the outstanding rookie
pitcher in the Junior circuit this
season is Charley Wensloff of the
New York Yankees. This may be
open to debate, but no one will oues-
ton his right to be called the un-
luckiest.
Wensloff, called the iron man" on
the Yankees Kansas City farm last
season, has received little of the
publicity that has centered on the
Athletics Jesse Flores, the Senators
Milo Candini, the Tigers Stubby
Overmlre and other newcomers.
Yet he has pitched brand of ball
that well might have earned him an
undefeated rating instead of his
present record of four won and the
same number lost.

Wensloff won 81 games in the

Manager Joe Mccarthy looked him

his nine starts has been. terrific. He
was beaten by Washington in his
first outing Al although he pitched
seven-hit ball His next loss was to
the Chicago White Sox when Lee
(Buck) Ross pitched a one-hitter.
His third was to the st. Louis
Browns 30, with all three st. Louis
runs scoring through four Yankee
errors in io-inning game. His
fourth was last Sunday when he had
a streak of wildness against Wash
ington and was banished from the
game for disputing an umpire's de-
cision on balls and strikes.
But the climax came in a twilight
game at Boston last night which re-
