SOUTHERN CONFERENCE OPENS ANNUAL SESSON A. Ga. December 8.—The Southern Intercollegiate Conference convened its second annual meeting here today with representatives from twenty colleges on hand. Shortly before the convening hour delegates were discussing the prob- able withdrawal of S. L. C. members from the S. I. A. A, which is regarded ras one of the chief issues facing the convention. Inability of the smaller colleges in the S. 1. A. A. to comply with the one vear and other stringent eligibility rules advocated by the con- ference will likely force the S. 1. C. members to withdraw and let the S. I A. A. settle the problems for their smaller members. Five other questions that will be brought up for discussion are: Status of athletes other than foot ball plavers who performed during the S. A. T, C. yvears. Curtailment of number of trips for freshmen foot ball teams. Determining definition of a college | for conference purposes.

Johnson, president of Gene- va College. in a formal statement, has declared that the disastrous foot ball season was not responsible for his re- cent resignation and the resignations of several faculty members. “I made my letter in college and T believe in clean sport.” he said. “The | reason for the resignation was the | failure of college authorities to adopt {a liberal. constructive and forward- looking policy.” | ‘Numerous articles written locally indicated that President Johnson and members of the board of control were sharply in disagreement regarding | management of the college affairs. — KING CHOOSES OSBURN.

I Tips on Playing Basket Ball; Correct Rule BY ED NDERHAND (one-hand pass). One-hand passes are always U dangerous, especially for be- ginners. The ball is held in palm of hand, fingers spread, thumb to the outside. Short passes arc all made with forearm and wrist mo- tion only. Long passes of this kind are made with a full sweep of the whole arnr from the shoulder down. A step in the direction in which the pass 1s made is usually taken. Overhand (one-hand pass). For throwing the ball great distances, the overhand, one-hand pass, is the best. The ball rests in_the palm of hand, fingers spread, thumb to the inside. The ball is carried back un- til it is just behind and above the shoulder, it is then started forward, using the power of the entire arm from the shoulder, at the same time stepping in the direction in which the pass is to be made. Most one-hand passes are made svith the right hand (unless player is left-handed) although many men have, through practice, become ef- i 0 Interpretations THORP.

He'll give you a quick and correct decision. Q. If center taps ball while referee is throwing it up, is it called a foul? A Yes, it he taps it before ball is om its downward course. Q. If a man climbs the cage and shoots basket and referee penalizes him for climbing cage, is the basket allowed? A. No. This is a foul and the basket | does mot count if made. Q. Can a player take more than one and one-half steps while jump- ing in held ball? A. Neither player is allowed to take a step. They assume same posi- tions as center men do at center. Q. When two players are jumping, may one of the players tap and catch ball before it hits floor? A. In amateur game this is legal. In professional game it is foul. Q. If a player shoots for basket and the ball is at the top of the ring, when the timer's whistle blows and the ball drops through the basket, does the basket count? A, Yes. Geal counts in beth ama- A. Barr Snively, Waynesboro, Pa., has been elected captain of Princeton’s 1923 foot ball team. Snively has been a member of the Princeton foot ball squad for two vears and played on his freshman team. During the past season he played a consistently good game at right guard, winning fame as a long-distance forward passer of uncanny ‘accuracy. He Is a member of the class of 19%4. The new Tiger gridiron_leader pre- pared for college at Mercersburg Academy, where ‘he played fullback on the foot ball team. Entering col- lege in the autumn of 1919. he showed his gridiron versatility by winning @ job at end on Coach Red Gennert's champion vearling eleven. He was ineligible the following year and did not go out for the team. Last year, however, found him intrenched at left end on the aggregation that defeated Harvard in the stadium. This year he started out at the left- wing position. but Coach Roper, find- ing the center of his line very light. shifted him to right guard to balance off the weight and efficlency of Capt.

CAMP. EW YORK, December 8.—Many of the foot ball critics and many of the coaches are taking a post-season course in analy how much of a factor luck is on the gridiron. luck are arising on every side. to eliminate luck. This reminds one of the old proposal of Johnnie Low, who once said in a book on golf that a rule should be in- troduced to the effect that if one man topped his shot and still ran over the bunker up to the hole and his opponent played a good shot, carrying the bunker, but siriking a soft patch of turf and stopping short of the green. the latter player ought to have the right to recall his opponent's shot, because it was Tuck. 1 In this connection it should be re- membered that a base ball team may make three gafe hits and fill the bases | and still not score. whereus another} team may make but one hit and still score 4 run. Furthermore, one team may make a dozen hits during a_game and not score, and then have a fielder | drop a fly which will result in a vic- tory for opponents without a single safety being marked on the score book. Many a team is looking back with regrets just now at one of those mo- mentary lapses which cost them dear the past season. The most effective ways to lose games on the gridiron may be listed as follows: i (1) Failure of the end to guard his end of the fleld, (2) failure of the forward passer to cover his pass. and | (3) failure of the team ‘to put enough rosin _on_their hands to be able to hold the ball. . . The writer heard a coach recently bewailing the fact that. while it wa: possible to lead a horse to water. was impossible to make him drink. He declared that it was possible to educate a quarterback and still im- possible to make him pick the right plays at the right moment. (Copsright, 1922.) GRID MANAGERS CHOSEN. RALEIGH. N. C..
