'Southern Conference Decrees Higher Scholastic Standards Commissioner for Athletics By the Associated Press. EW ORLEANS, December 19.— A situation that threatened to split the Southern Conference appeared to have been avert- ed early today when the conference as | a whole adopted a program designed | to raise the standard of scholastic eligibility requirements for its athletes. The conference voted for a high commissioner in Southern Conference athletics to supervise competition and enforce eligibility rules, directing the president to name a committee of four to consider all angles of the commis- sioner’s duties and to 79}1011 at a spe- cial meeting of the conference in At- ianta in February. Strictures on recruiting of players from secondary schools and seeming athleties subsidies also were adopted in the closed session of conference delegates, which lasted into the early hours of this morning. These proposals, looking to a higher standard in Southern Conference ath- letics, had previously been approved | by an inner group of seven member schoois, which organized here Thursday and served notice that they would give preference in shaping schedules to those schools which observed the strict- er requirements. ‘THe seven-member group is scheduled to hold a further meeting later today. The members are Kentucky, Vander- bilt, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Tulane and Florida. In addition to approving the com- missioner, the conference am % its by-laws providing | game sidelines, “no one employed by or officially con- nected with the athletic staff of a member institution shall engage in re- cruiting by offering financial induce- ments” and another which read that “all scholarships and loan funds for which athletes are eligible must be placed in the hands of the university officer or committee that usually ad- ministers such funds, with no preference to_athletes.” Raising the scholastic requirement, an amendment was passed providing that athletes must have passed three- fourths of their college work in the preceding year to be eligible and at least three-fifths of their work in the preceding quarter or semester. The present rule requiring 15 Car- negie units for college entrance was left unchanged, except for the pro- vision that not more than four of these units be vocational. Another amendment would prevent proselyting of service team players by declaring such players ineligible. Harmony appeared to prevail today following yesterday's tense session at which the action of the seven membets in organizing an “inner circle” was ig- nored on the conference floor. At a banquet for the officials last night Dr. S. V. Sanford of Georgia voiced a plea for unanimity in seeking a higher scho- lastic standard to be viewed as equally important with winning teams. The conference yesterday voted to prohibit broadcasting of foot ball games. the use of motion pictures and still cameras in scouting and the presence of news will idle until after the holi- onzhexootbull L2 : WHEN PARRACK WALTZES OOWN THE LANE IT RESE.

By the Associated Press. ASADENA, Calif.,, December 19.— The phalanx of hopefuls ad- vanced on the cache of gold at the end of the Pasadena open golf tournament trail today, leaving in their wake those dozens of aspirants who strained valiantly, but fruitlessly, to get a second-day try at the prizes. Many—a few prominent—were those wire yesterday, and play was punctuated by the splendid performances of a brace of youngsters, “Here'’s how"” to thewr more experienced opponents. Steadily, calmly, Ralph Guldahl of Detroit and Ray Mangrum of Los An- geles went through the 18 qualifying holes to finish in a dead heat at 69, two strokes under par for the rather difficult 6,374-yard course. ‘Today's second round over the treach- erous Arroyo Seco course found Johnny Golden, Stamford, Conn., professional and co-holder of the Agua Caliente, Mexico, title, out of the running. He took 81 for the initial 18. But he had company 90 pros still in the running, and many favorites were on the border line. Still stiffer competition lay ahead today, with the field to be cut to 48 pros and six amateurs. Ten amateurs en- tered the first round of match play. A half dozen qualifiers were still to finish this morning. A quartet with 70 followed on the heels of Guldahl and Mangrum in the qualifying round. They were George von Elm, the Los Angeles business man golfer; the veteran MacDonald Smith of New York City and Jack Gaines, Glendale, Calif., amateur. ALEXANDRIA HIGH WINS.

Yet | Southern cCalifornia ra p 157 points against these three teams, approxi- mately 52 points to an hour's play— | almost a point a minute. | This is juggernauting in the ultimate meaning of the Word. It is one of the most powerful offensives foot ball ever has known—especially so when it gets the jump and is allowed to start roll- ing. St. Mary's and California were the only two teams that held this jug- gernaut in any sort of check. Notre Dame also held it for the first ree quarters, but in the final period at | South Bend the Far Westerners scored 16 points in 15 minutes, just about the same dizzy pace they huried at Georgia. It now remains to be seen wh: strong Tulane team can do—a team pending more on speed than power. At least the storm warning is up and Tulane now knows the size of the tar- get the Green Wave must point for and Where Jerry Dalrymple will be needed more than ever. Any team that can carry the ball 500 yards along the ta de- | who failed to get under the qualifying |ground has the brand of attack that Gil Dobie dreams about. And Tulane |isn't the tvpe of team that gets dis- couraged in advance. Tms 1931 Army team, as it looked down the stretch, must be rated with the best that West Point has known. It has shown a fast, strong line from end to end—from Kopscak to King on by Price, Trice, Evans, Sum- merfelt and Suarez. And few squads can show more back- field ability than Stecker, Kilday, Brown, Fields, Johnson. MacWilliams and Carver have to offer. Stecker is one of the best all-around backs of the year. Brown is one of the best Kickers. Kilday and Brown both are defensive stars, and Fields can both kick and pass above the average. | The Navy gave all had to give | against a ~stronger team. No Navy | squad ever played with greater dash and spirit, with Tuttle and Kirn two of the standouts. O The other is that Georgia was just about at its peak against Yale on | October 10, and the team vas on the way down hill even before the N. Y. U. | game. Georgia lacked the reserves and the power to face any schedule which offered almost no breathing spell from start to finish: Yale, North Carolina, Vanderbilt, N. Y. U, Tulane, Florida, Auburn, Georgia Tech and Southern | California among others. Georgla at its best never had the man- power to cope with Southern California, the type of team that moves like a fast rolling avalanche, once it get the jump. |But it is shown again that no team | can hurry to the peak in early October |and “have much left by | Southern California was far from its | peak against St. Mary's when the latter won a late September game.
