Southeast S Colleges
Demand Year-Around
Training Table
By the Assoeioted Press

BILOXI, Miss, Dec. 10.-The
Southeastern Conference meeting
ended today with delegates in per-
feet agreement on how they will
show the National Collegiate
Athletic Association that Dixie
members aren't professionals in
amateur clothing.
There was hardly a dissenting
voice at the final session on the
Southeastern's idea for a three
meals per day, year around train
ing table for athletes. However,
the SEC earlier upset itself en-
tirely on just what rules are best
for determining bowl teams.
The meeting also declined to
make room for the University of
Miami, Fla, as a member.
Dixie people say that by provid-
ing athletes with all their meals
sufficient time remains for the
athletes to study, play and earn
money to continue college.
The NCAA's present law &C
counts for only one meal per day
during the season of the athletes
sport. This requires the athlete to
earn about SIS per month for
remaining meals and incidentals
BY giving a player all his meals,
he can get by earning only $35
per month. The reduced require
ments will do away with many
fake jobs, the Southerners claim.
Before turning to NCAA affairs,
the Southeastern in effect went
back to its bowl game policy Of
pre-war days.
Beginning with the 1850 season,
any SEC team can accept bid at
any time to any bowl which meets
three major and several minor re-
quirementS.
Major requirements are that the
bowl distribute at least 80 per cent
of gross receipts to competing
teams, that the bowl allocate at
least one third of its seats to the
two colleges and have at least two
representatives of NCAA schools
on it's administrative committee.
These requirements also are part
Of proposed bowl amendment to
the NCAA constitution.

Paul Brown is putting it up to his
defensive unit to win the last ALL
America Conference crown for
Cleveland.
Either the Browns defense will
stop San Francisco's 49ers more
often in the championship game
tomorrow, or 1--WE will not be able
to retain the title" he said.
THE smallest score we held
them to this year was 81 points, u
Brown pointed out. THAT was in
the exhibition game in August
when they tied us. Next time they
scored 56 points and the last time
we met it was %. which gives their
offense an average of 35 points a
game against us" Then he added
That's frightening"
Browns Favorites Again.
However, the Browns are favor
ties again by more than touch
down margin.
Cleveland has won the cham
pionship all the three prior years
the AAC has been going. This
year the Browns lost to the 49ers
by a 56-28 count and then beat
them, 1923, during the regular
season.
The teams went through theil
last checks and drills today fol
the game.
Apparently the 49ers' hopes fol
warmer weather will come true
although playing conditions won't
be ideal.
The Californians held a low
opinion of cold Ohio weather
when they arrived here Thursday
Coach Lawrence (Buck) Shaw
pointed out that it worked in IA
vor of the Browns. who are more
used to frost-bitten turfs.
The weather forecaster pre-
dicted temperatures between AZ
and A degrees and a drizzly rain
for tGmoi Bw afternoon.
The game will match two Of the
top passers in the circuit, which
was merged Friday with the Ma
tional Football League. They are
Cleveland's Otto Graham. the
loops leading ground gamer and
passer, and San Francisco S
frankie Albert, who was the third
best ground gamer and fourth
best passer, statistically.
Graham will be firing at Mac
Speedie, the best pass receiver in
the circuit, and Dante Lavelli, the
other end. .Albert's best target will
be Allyn Beals, the third leading
catcher.
In the rushing department, it will
be San Francisco's Joe Perry against
Cleveland's Marion Motley. Perry
gained the most yardage on rushing
statistics and Motley was third.
60 Per Cent to Winners.
Besides the championship, the
two teams will be working for the
old long green. Seventy per cent of
the profits will go to a players pool.
From 80 per cent of the pool, the
winners tomorrow will get 60 per
cent and the losers 40 per cent.
During the regular season, San
Francisco won 9 and lost 3 while
Cleveland won 9, lost l and tied 2
to finish in first place. In the semi
final playoffs, Cleveland dumped
Buffalo, 31-21, and the 49ers beat
New York, 17-7,
The Browns would like to be the
only champion the merging AAC
ever had. A win tomorrow would
accomplish that. In the four years
