Southern Conference Is Harmonious As It Attacks Problems at Special Session SNAPPY SCHEDULE DELAYS SELECTION OF COMNISSIONER Expense of Post Is Held Too| Great Now—Maryland Five Overconfident. BY H. C. BYRD. TLANTA, Ga. February 27.| —The Southern Confer- ence, although wide flung over a great territory, to- day stands as one of the most closely knit and compact athletic organizations in the world. It has had troubles, it is true, but seems to have come through them with colors flying, and with a firm in- tention to meet with courage and the full resources of its broad in- fluence any problems the future may hold. After a very stormy annyal meeting | Jast December the conference got to- gether here this week end in utmost | harmony on a fair way to solve most | of its difficulties and to eliminate its most glaring problem—that of 1ll-feel- | ing and suspicion between three or | four outstanding members, Here at this special session two or | three highly controversial subjects were disposed of without even the slightest evidence of anything more than a harmonious effort to do what 15 best for the good of the whole body. | Even the three or four schools that have been at loggerheads fell in line with that policy and played the game with a téam work that would have | done the souls of their foot ball coaches = lot of good. THI matter of creating the position | { of commissioner for the conference | was disposed of by laying the frecommendations of the committee on | the table until the annual meeting. It was felt that with the present finan- cial situation what it is, the conference could not afford to create an addi- tional expenditure, which would have to be covered by assessments on the member universities and colleges, of | $15,000 to $18,000 per year to what it | now costs to operate the conference machinery. The financial situation in some of these far Southern States is deplor- able. In Mississippi, for instance, the members of the faculty of the State| University have not been paid their | salaries since January, 1931, and in other places salaries are back two or| three months. In the face of that kind of thing, and in view of the cur- | tailment of all expenditures for athletics, many coaches have been laid off, and with others being due to look | for new jobs after this year in a general | curtailment of activities and organiza- tions, it was felt that the conference could not afford to fiy off in the op- posite direction. The conference, however, instructed and empowered the Executive Commit- tee to work out some plan for determin- ing how well member institutions of the conference are living up to the regula- tions, with special reference to scholas- tic requirements and scholarships. The committee worked until a late hour last night and today to evolve a | plan to obtain all the information it desires, and will hold a special meeting later this Spring. One thing the Executive Committee intends to do is to furnish members of the conference with information about one another. In other words, conditions as they are found to exist in one insti- tution will be furnished to all other in- stitutions, so that there will no longer be a situation where one school has wrong ideas about what another is do- ing. S a result of one of the actions the | | vi e te c J 1 conference took at this session the | second half attack to rout Donaldson foot ball officials will be better off | School basketers of Baltimore, 31 to 11, next Fall, as the rule for payment of | yste fees was modified so that, instead of |a; having only one mandatory fee of $50 | tie for the first half. per game, any university is at lierty to pay 875 if it so desires and thinks | it's game justifies it. Incidentally, a! meeting of all foot ball coaches in the conference is to be held here tomorrow to agree on officials for next Fall NIVERSITY OF MARYLAND played | Dod the worst basket ball against Flor- ida in its only game in the confer- ence tournament that any Old Line quint has played in five years. It could not have done worse had it tried. The players did not cut, they seemed rooted | to the same spot on the floor, their pass- ing was far from good, they missed enough shots in the first half to have won two games and their general atti- tude was that they were out there to take that game as they pleased, and after that would show somebody how to play the game. The only bad part is that in such & tournament once whipped, a team is out and gets no more chances. Maryland, beaten by Florida last night Wwith ease, could play Florida five con-| secutive games and win at least four| of them, and probably all five. Flor- da went through the most of the first| half as if it did not have the least| jgea that it had a chance. In the|= Jast few minutes it went in front, and. in the language of the basket ball “went crazy” with scoring. i [t o t anywhere near up to his form, and had he stayed in the game he would | have beaten Florida just about single- handed. As it was, he kept Maryland in the game and with half the secon half gone the Old Liners were four points to the good with what amounted to a one-man offense and one-man defense. the game in the middle of the second half on four personal fouls. Up that time he had been the team and | ¥ from then on Maryland was just that much worse than it had been before. | The Old Liners just got caught on one of those nights in which nothing for them was right and they suffered the consequences. The chances are that had they all thought before the game as they thought and felt after- Ward it would have been a different story, but that is part of the game as the athletic world plays it and it prob- | ably will be a good lesson, because. after all, those Maryland players are a group of fine young chaps who konw how to learn and to profit thereby. ARYLAND is trying to effect ar- rangements to bring two or three of the best Far-Southern basket ball teams to College Park next| Winter. Vanderbilt, Georgia and Flcr-| jda have been approached and maybe two of them will make the journey if two other games can be arranged for them to help pay expenses of the long trips. | ONTRARY to what had been ex-| pected the attendance at the basket ball tournament is running better than it did last year crowds were much larger. to be very little money in this section and conditions are pretty much what they seem to be elsewhere, not much work and very little cash to spend. It must be as a very shrewd friend of the Writer in Washington, who began bowl- | ing alley operations cn a large scale, once said, “Oh, well, they'll find money to pay for amusements when they can't buy the bay shoes.
