Conference Coaches
May Favor Proposal
For Two Divisions
BY MerreII WhittIesey

The Southern Conference bas-
ketball coaches may recommend
at next weeks tournament in Ra-
leigh to split the bulky 17-team
circuit into Northern and South
ern divisions and qualify the first
four teams In each division for
the annual tournament.
Under the present setup, the
first eight teams in the regular
season standings qualify for the
tournament.
Schedule making would be con-
Siderably easier under the new
plan, and it also would end the
contention that some schools quail
ify for the tournament without
playing a representative sched-
ule.
Terps, CIV in Northern Unit.
Maryland and George Wash
ington would be in the Northern
Division. of course, with West Vir-
ginia and the five Virginia schools: !:
Washington and Lee, William and
Mary. VMI, VPI and Richmond
The Southern Division would
be made up Of Wake Forest, N. C.
State. North Carolina, Duke, Da-
wilson, South Carolina, F'urman,
Clemson and The Citadel, a total
of nine members to eight for the
Northern. However, the Univer-
sity of Virginia repeatedly is close
to becoming a member and that
would even-up the divisions at
nine each.
Each team would play a home
and-home series with each men,
ber of its division and only those
games would count toward tour
nament competition. George
Washington still would play the
Carolina court powers, for in
stance. but the games would not
count in the standings.
Open Way for Twin Bills.
That would give Maryland and
CIV ID games in the conference,
plus any they cared to schedule
with teams not in their division.
1t also might pave the way for
double-headers with the Terps and
Colonials bringing in two division
opponents and playing one night
at Maryland and exchanging foes
the next night at Uline's.
George Washington and Mary
land are almost sure of voting
for the proposal, but the plan
undoubtedly will receive consid-
cradle opposition from the smaller
schools.
For several years the coaches
have discussed a 16-team tourna-
ment,s with the smaller colleges
who seldom qualify for the cham
pionship event usually in favor.
and the larger schools opposed.
This plan probably will come up
again next week, and because a
16-team tournament would be un-
wieldy, expensive and would mean
a number of one-sided games, it
probably again will be defeated.
