HARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Febru- ary 25.—Tournament time has come again in the Southern Conference. The organization will be celebrating its tenth birthday next week with the fifth an- nual boxing tourney in Charlottesville and the tenth annual basket ball tour- ney -in Atlanta. ‘The Southern Conference was organ- ized on February 25, 1921, after a meet- ing of representatives of almost ail the State universities and technical schools of the South in" Atlanta. In the mem- bership of this great sports group is in- cluded 23 colleges and universities in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ken- tucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippl and Louisiana. Next week end teams from all sections of the organization will gather in At- lanta and Charlottesville. Sixteen teams are to compete for the basket ball title on February 27 and 28, and March 2 and 3. .Entries in the boxing tourney have been limited to 16 teams likewise, but there are likely to be even fewer entered. ¢ The Conference Boxing Committes may, in fact, cut down the number to eight in order to do away with byes in he pairings. Reduced gate receipts are forcing actions toward economy, and some of the ring teams with poorer rec- ords are saving money by remaining at in college boxing, who last Tuesday scored a second-round technical knock- out over Obie Davis, Carolina’s crack middleweight. Capt. Herb Mahaffey, welterweight, is virginia Tech's best contender, unless Al Towler, featherweight, can slug his way through the forest of good men, in- cluding the V. M. I captain, Bill Buck, and the W. and L. leader, Simon Sloch- berg. Towler lcst the 129-pound title in the final last year to Capt. Fielding Russell of Georgia. V. M. I. was runner-up in the '30 tourney, but the Cadets Jost most of their veterans and have had to reor- ganize their team. Consequently they have nct had so much success in the ring this year. Bill Spann, their middle- weight, is likely to cause trouble to men who face . ashington and Lee has lost only one match, and that was to V. P. I. In addition to Capt. Sloshberg the best records have been made by Robertson, bantam weight, and Pound, middle weight. Sport New to Maryland. Maryland and North Carolina State have just taken up the sport for the first time this year and neither team has had great success as a whole. But as individuals some of these new men have done well, such as the two Old Liners, Bernard Keener, welter weight, and Francis Holloway, light heavy. Maryland, Washington and Lee and Duke seem to be the cream of the crop as far as basket ball is concerned. The Old Liners have the leading team record in the South Atlantic group, for they have been defeated only once, by Virginia, 34 to 31. The Cavaliers, who reached their peak of play so far in this game, later bowed to the Terrapins. Duke has won a clear-cut claim to the basket ball championship of North Carolina with a final record of six games won and two lost in the race or the Tarheel title among the “Big Five.” Incidentally this is the second year that the Blue Devils have taken the State court title, and because they also won honors in base ball and in foot ball, it is their fourth major cham- | plonship’ in two years. Joe Croson has been one of | the chief contributors to Duke's suc- cess. His play at center has helped to make the Blue Devils runner-up in the last two court tournaments. Monday Game May Tell.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., February 25— The Naval Academy is likely to cut down on the traveling of its foot ball team, according to the announcement made today in connection with the games scheduled with Columbia for 1932 and 1933 that more games are to be played on the home grounds. Columbia will play at Annapolis the first year of the two-year arrange- ment, and the Naval Academy team will play only three games away from home, instead of the five or six which been the rule. The Naval team in 1932 will meet Notre Dame on its home grounds, Princeton at Princeton and the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania at Philadelphi: Columbia and Maryland will play Annapolis, and, so far as present rangements indicate, there will be no game in Baltimore that year. In connection with this attitude of the Naval Academy athletic officials, talk has been revived of a stadium to be built near the Naval Academy, but not on Government property, to take care of the big home games.
