On Office Shift From
Chicago 10 Denver
By the A.socioisd Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June g.
The 37th annual convention of Ro-
tary International opens tonight
with a floor fight in prospect over
a proposal to move headquarters
from Chicago to Denver and con-
struct the new Offices on the site
of a Roman Catholic cemetery.
Under terms Of an agreement, ap-
proved by the Rotary board of di-
rectors, the Denver Catholic Arch
bishop Urban j. Vehr would arrange
for removal of approximately $500
bodies and their tombstones and
mausoleums, at the expense of the
archdiocese, from the cemetery
which has not been in use since 1907
The Denver archdiocese has been
paid 5000 by a committee headed
by Carl E. Bolte of Kansas City, fol-
an option to buy the 18.S4-acre plot
for $135 900.
Move To Be Opposed.
The Chicago delegation to the
convention will oppose vigorously
adoption Of the resolution to be in
troduced at the Rotary convention,
Max H. Hurd. president of the Chi
cago Rotary Club, said as the $4,000
delegates gathered for the conven-
ton opening tonight.
The Chicago delegates said South
American Rotarians would probably
oppose the move to Denver because
it involved disinterrment of Catho-
lie dead.
The, present headquarters of Ro-
tary international is in a rented
building in Chicago. The Chicago
club has proposed construction of
a two or three story building near

College Baseball Coaches,
Pro Heads Still Battling
Heated Issue To Be Main
Discussion. AT Jan. 5
Farley

HAMILTON, N. Y. Dec. 28.-(P1
+ The American Association OF
college Baseball coaches, irked by
what its president calls an "appar-
ent brush-off," reiterated today de-
mands fora showdown with profes-
sional baseball interests in dealing
with college players.
Everett D. tEppy) Barnes. asso-
citation president and Colgate Uni
versity baseball coach, declared in
a statement:
Continued and fragrant disin-
terest of organized baseball to the
appeals of the college baseball
coaches for cooperation has made
that insult the number one item on
the agenda for the annual meeting
of the college coaches in New York,
Ian. 5-6."
Barnes said it was hard to I'M
Iderstand how ~(baseball) commits
sioner A. B. Chandler can purport
to show interest in college baseball
and then fail to carry out even the
first steps in a program of promis-
ed cooperation"
The college coaches, Barnes add
ed, have been repeatedly promised
by organized baseball that prema-
ture contractual relationships be-
tween the professionals and col
lege players would be discussed al
the next" major league meeting.
-Four Of these next meetings
have gone by without any admitted
mention being made to college ball,
and my appeals for a report on the
recent sessions at Los Angeles
have resulted in another apparent
%brush-off," Barness declared.
The Colgate coach held that
"raiding of potential stars by pro.
fessional interests usually means
termination Of the college players
education land too often their
baseball careers Also"
"Unless a cooperative arrange
ment is forthcoming soon," Barn
es maintained. ''both interests will
suffer, and the college coaches in
tend to do something about. it at
the annual meeting of their associa-
Ition next month";"
Colleges are continuing to i'm
prove their baseball instruction,
the association president contend
ed, and as a result those participant
ing in the game in college will be-
come better players if allowed to
complete their education.

S0oNERS
PREPARE FOR
BOWL ENCOUNTER
One Practice Daily Planned
By Coaches Tatum,
Feathers

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. %.
'-(F-The Gator Bowl teams,
Oklahoma and North Carolina State
clamped a lid of secrecy on prac-
tice sessions today and cut their
workouts to one daily, hoping to
avoid injuries which would harm
their chances in the New Years
day football engagement.
Coach Beattie Feathers of N. C.
State held two drills today, then
announced that the Wolfpack would
limit the sessions to one a day
henceforth.
The eager Carolinians, who are
staying at Ponte Vedra Beach, Is
miles from here, and working out
on a nearby high school gridiron,
were reported going through their
PAGES with such vigor that Feath-
ers feared injuries would result.
Coach Jim Tatum, five of whose
players already are nursing in
juries, ordered a minimum of con-
tact work for the Oklahoma squad.
Tatum sent the Sooners through a
double drill Friday, then reduced
the schedule to one each afternoon.
Oklahoma remained a 13-point
favorite to win the second annual
Gator bowl classic and avenge a
defeat received in the Sooners'
only other appearance-that also in
Florida. They lost ITO in 1888 in
Miami's Orange Bowl to a Tennes-
see team on which two Of N. C.
States assistant coaches, Babe
Woods and Bob Suffridge, were
players.
With Feathers also a former
Volunteer great, the Wolfpack
sticks pretty thoroughly to the
Tennessee version of the single
wing but occasionally mixes in a
few plays from the T formation.
Oklahoma relies on the T, the
backs working behind a big, fast
line that some observers think pro-
vides the difference between the
two teams. The Wolfpack line,
while not as hefty, was good
enough to give the Carolina squad
a national ranking of fourth in total
defense, however, the Sooners rank
second in that department..
