Bears to Turn Caroline
Loose in Lions Game

CHICAGO, Dec. IA (R.-Any-

that J. C. Caroline would be a
key man in the 1856 National
Football League title race would
have been laughed out of the
league.
But he is.

offense against the Lions Sun
day" Coach Paddy Driscoll Of
the Bears says. I'VE kept him
on defense because we had two
fast halfbacks on offense in Perry
Jeter and Bobby Watkins. But
they're out with injuries-so,
we're turning Caroline loose"
Caroline, star defensive back
all season, played offense for the
first time against the Chicago
Cardinals last Sunday and reeled
on SO yards in Is carries as the
Bears won, 1913. He twisted
three yards for the decisive
touchdown and saved the VIC

final play Of the game that

Perhaps the combination of
Caroline on the outside and the

Rick Casares, on the inside. is one
reason why the Bears figure a
surprising one-point favorite in

Lions. The fact that Detroit

Two Top Items
On NAgenda
Appear Doomed
BY GEORGE HUBER

The two big items for consid-
Grafton at the annual Southern
Conference meeting being held
ct the Shorehan Hotel, cycle
scheduling and abolition Of
freshman eligibility for varsity
teams, seemed doomed for fall.
ure at today's general session.
Both subjects were batted
around In preliminary meetings
yesterday and last night and
neither appeared to have gained
the support needed to pass.
SO diverse were opinions about
cycle scheduling. under which
all conference schools would
meet all others In all sports over
Q two.year period, that the sub
ject was not even brought to the
floor at today's general meeting.
Athletic directors In q five.hour
meeting last night were unable
to form an acceptable plan and
will consider 1t again at q sum-
mer meeting in May.
Presidents Split
The freshman eligibility rule
came UP for discussion at q
meeting Of presidents Of confer
ence schools yesterday, and q SIS
split resulted. 1t takes q two.
thirds vote TO change the rule.
and while the faculty representa-
tives are the ones who do the
actual voting today, they are
likely to 60 along with their
presidents.
The differences among the 10
conference members were
brought out in the discussion
about cycle scheduling. Some
schools. such as Washington a.
Lee and Davidson, consider
themselves too weak, athletically,
to meet such as West Virginia
and Virginia Tech regularly in
football. Then, too, such schools
as Virginia Tech and West Vir-
GINA are shooting for big-time
schedules and might not always
have room for some of the lesser
conference teams.
Middle-of-the-r o a d members
such as George Washington are
in favor Of cycle scheduling as a
means Of insuring well-rounded
programs.
Some Of those in favor of the
program think that If adopted
it would make for a more bal
anced conference because those
schools now weak in some sports
would have to strengthen them
selves to meet the competition.
Smaller Schools Holding Out
The smaller schools are the
ones holding out for the cur
rent freshman eligibility rule,
They claim they can't operate
without frosh on their varsity
squads. The stronger schools like
George Washington, West Viz
ginia and Virginia Tech want to
DO away with the rule as a mat
ter of prestige If nothing else
Other items on the conference
Iagenda were election Of officers
today and the annual dinner TO-
night.
Jennings Randolph, former
Representative from West Vir.
gniia and now an official of Cap
ital Airlines, will be the main
speaker at the dinner.
