winged messenger of death at

could himself perform. He found
delight in ferreting out the poor

quently has been elevated. This
was not the case when Col. Couper
was elected, however, as he was sec
retary.
Eppley said today he would con-
slider 1t a great honor. but doubted
seriously If he could accept the post
due to the pressure of his duties as
dean Of men at Maryland.
Il decided I had been in college
athletics long enough" Col. Coupel
told the Associated Press.
Its time the younger men took
over" he said.
Elected president Of the confer
ence first in 1916. Col. Couper has
served two one-year terms.
This job isn't as quiet as it once
was" he complained. I'm the old
days, the president didn't have
much to do. But my two years have
been rather hectic"
Col. Couper could have been re-
ferrlng to several eligibility cases in
Southern Conference football which
he mad to rule upon.
There was Lu Gambino. all-con-
ference halfback at Maryland, who
was declared ineligible under the
three-year rule just before the start
of the current season. Later, there
was the barring of three players at
North Carolina State. two at Wake
Forest and one at Duke.
Col. Couper, who resigned from
the v. M. T. Athletic Council early
this year. still will be a member of
the conferences Executive Com
mittee, according to the conference
constitution.
But that's an easy life. No deci-
sion to make" he said.
