GREENSBORO, N. c., Dec g.
The Southern Conference, void OF
all eligibility rules since August
1943, will return to its strict regula
tons governing athletics gradually
and the first step will go into effect
with the 1945-46 schooi year, next
football season.
DR.. H. A. Fisher, N. c. State Col
lege, member of the executive COM
mittee, revealed the changes in the
conference rules tonight following
Yesterdays annual Southern Con-
ference meeting here, which was
publicly unannounced.
I'VE hope to get back to the
straight path in the near future,
DR.. Fisher said, land this is far
better first step than we had anti
cipated when we called the meet
ing"
Basic changes are as follows:
l. There will be no civilian stu
dent transfers from colleges within
or without the conference. Service
men are allowed to participate.
2. Transfers currently in school
may remain with these colleges and
be eligible; or if the transfers were
from colleges which discontinued a
sport, say football, they may return
to those colleges and be eligible.
3. Scholastic requirements will be
returned to the pre-August. 1943

rule, these will be ex post facto

McSpaden. Philadelphia, grabbed
undisputed lead of the 72-hole Oak

when he posted three-round total

McSpaden, who has used this

tackled up a SO for his current effort
to break 36-hole tie with Byron
Nelson. his running mate from To-

McSpaden banged out 81 on the
first nine, four under par, then

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 9.-The Big
Six Conference today discarded its
antiproselyting rule and approved
modified athletic scholarship plan
which faculty representatives said
would permit its members to en-
phasize to prospective athletes ad--
vantages of their schools.
I'VE want to make plain, how
ever, said Dean T. J. Thompson of
Nebraska and chairman of the
faculty group, that any scholar
ships or remissions of fees will be
made on the same basis for ath-
letes and nonathletes."
The resolution adopted by the
faculty representatives and direc-
tors of athletics at their meeting
here stated:
"A member school may initiate
correspondence and may initiate
interviews with prospective ath-
letes, provided. however, that such.
loans, scholarships and remission of
fees shall be available toathletes
only on the same terms and con-
IditionS as said loans, scholarships
fees shall be available to athletes
to nonathletes at the said member

matter that remains and that is an
agreement with the Southeastern
Conference. Our Executive Commit
tee met with the Southeastern in
Knoxville last month and we con-
sidered these matters which were
to be presented to the two confer
ences. The Southern has passed
them, and hope the Southeastern

The committee consists of DR..
Fisher, Dean A. w. Hobbs, North
Carolina, and Col. William Couper,
Virginia Military Institute.
From the Southeastern meeting
in Birmingham, Ala, there was the
report that no action was taken on
transfers although one of the
amendments was to seek inter-
conference agreements with other
conferences to establish uniform
standards and rules"
DR.. Fisher anticipated a Joint
conference committee meeting in
the near future.
Servicemen constituted a major
portion of the discussions here. The
conference continues its ruling that

There has been a strong current

Washington Has Little

President Clark Griffith and Man
ager OSsie Bluege of the Washington
Club leave for major baseballs WIN
ter meetings tonight and what they
accomplish in the way of trades or
purchases in New York the next
three days may determine the fate
of the Mats next year.
Both Griffith and Bluege frankly
admit something drastic must be
done to get the Capitals ball club
above the last place it occupied at
the finish of the 1914 American
League campaign, but what can be
done is something else. In general.
the big league outfits are trade shy
these war days and they're not SELL
ing anything at all usable.
The Washington leaders would
like to pick up an infielder, an out
fielder and a pitcher in New York,
but have little idea where any
OF the three may be found. Cal
Griffith, president of the Mats,
and Joe Cambria, their lone scout,
were sent to the Buffalo meetings
OF the minor leagues last week with
instructions to grab anything in a
player way they could, but they got
no place so far as an actual deal
was concerned.
They did, however. discover some
possibilities of landing talent for
Washington while buzzing around
with the minor moguls, but got NO
promises of help. These slender
leads give Griffith and Bluege some
slight hope of partial success any
way in their New York quest.

SALTWATER, Okla, Dec. o.
Few of the fans who thrilled
to All-America Bob Fenimore's
shifty running and bullet passing

season realized the 19-year-old
star played with one leg encased
in a heavy guard.
If that guard had failed there
probably would have been no ma

game for the Aggies. But it held.
Fenimore's injury kept him on
the bench much of last season.
When football time rolled around
this fall there was doubt the leg
could stand the strain.
The best answer to that. outside
the fact the experts thought
enough of his ability to pick him
for the Associated Press ALI
America team, is to look at his
record.
