CONFER E DIVIDE TERRITORY IN BASKETBALL SCHEDULE GIVEN Meeting in Atlanta Saturday, March 1, coaches and representatives from ten of the leading collegos and universities in the South formed a new basketball league. This league is to operate within the Southern Conference as a division of it. The permanence of this league depends on the approval of the executive committee of the Southern Conference. This committee will meet next September to discuss the proposal. The team composing this association are: Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Ga. Tech., Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Vandcrbilt. REASON FOR LEAGUE The reason for the formation of this league is to form an association of schools so geographically situated as to make such a league of mutual financial benefit. Each team will play six other teams, playing one game at home and one away with each team. Every year each team will drop three of the teams from its schedule and add three new ones, thus having a diversified schedule each year. SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED The University of South Carolina will play Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Ga. Tech., Florida and Clemson next year. Due to the inability of Alabama to arrange a suitable date for a return game in Columbia next year, Carolina will play three games with Florida. The South Carolina schedule for the league is as follows: Jan. 3?Georgia at Athens. Jan. 5?Alabama at Alabama. Jan. 6?Auburn at Auburn. Jan. 7?Ga. Tech. at Atlanta. Jan. 24?Auburn at Columbia.

BOXERS WORKOUT I FOR HARD BOUTS Many students are now in training I for the boxing tournament to be held the third week in March at the University. More than fifty candidates are expected to take part in the tournament. Much interest is being shown in the contests that will crown eight men champions of their divisions. There will be competition in eight . weight classes. The flyweight division is not used in intercollegiate boxing but furnish a new weight division for 1 the lighter boxers. Last year there ' were four men out for the flyweight limit and at least five men will fight for the title this year. The other weights will be the same " as used in intercollegiate boxing, which include bantamweights, fcather weights, lightweights, welterweights, middleweights, light-heavyweights, and f heavyweights. ' The students are being trained by Jack Alliston, who directed the train! ing for this year's varsity team. Candidates will undergo daily workouts i until they get in shape and then Mr. : Alliston will put them through strenu ous mix-ups with the gloves, as a final means of preparation for the tournaf ment. No student who has participated in i varsity competition will be eligible for . the matches. This gives the man who : has never boxed an opportunity to show his skill at the boxing game. NCE TEA] BASKETBAI MAKE ITN SPRING GRIDDERS GO TO DIAMOND FOOTBALL SEASON ENDS Only Players Not Out For Baseball Continue Practice With Pigskin Intensive winter football maneuvers slackened down to a walk last week when a large delegation of gridders chucked their pigskin and khaki and went over to the adjoining lot to get their batting eyes and their bats in condition for a strenuous baseball campaign. About twenty-five of the non-baseball candidates, however, are still going through daily drills and will continue these light workouts for several weeks. Among the most prominent men who are quitting the winter drills in favor of baseball are Hicks, ponderous fullback, Laval, veteran end, Edens, quaterback, and Sikes, end. The men who have been receiving instruction under Coaches Laval, Thrash, Rawl, and tClar-' are as follows: ends, Gressette, Laval, Richards, Joucs, Sikes. and Ewing; tackles, Adair, Hughey, Faulkenbury, Moore, Gaskin, Farr, Watson, DeVaughan, Shand, and Brantley; guards, Yoncc, Arcnson, Freeman, Correll, Jenkins; centers, Leardo, Correll, Gilmore, Brigham, Hamilton, Musselwhite. Among the most prominent backs out for the spring drills were Edens, Boineau, Reynolds, Parrott, Ayers, Wannamaker, Fleming, M. Blount, G. Blount, Benton, Martin, Hicks, and Wylie. U. H. O. GEORGIA TECH TO TRY NEW OFFENSE AGAINST CAROLINA IN FALL FOOTBALL GAME Southern football fans are awaiting with no little impatience the first gridiron contest on the Georgia Tech program next fall. Against South Carolina next October Coach Walter A. Alexander will present a new system of play. The reversed quarterback system, in which the signal caller backed up to the center and received the ball blindly, has been discarded as unsuited to the material on hand. It was dropped in the last two games of last season in favor of a balanced line and backfield in hopes of adding power to a team that lacked a fullback. Pursuing his policy of fitting the system of play to the material on hand, Coach Alexander has installed a one wing-back system that is designed to develop the upmost power from his big heavy line and his comparatively light backs. The new system was installed during spring practice and has been functioning smoothly. The football candidates are very enthusiastic over the new play. The Yellow Jackets will don white jerseys next fall in games where the old gold will not be "different." The Golden Tornado has been wearing gold jerseys for a long time and they do not intend to discard them completely. They're just adding white ones to their repertoire. Numbers will be placed on the front of the jerseys instead of the back. This will be quite an innovation in the South. Coach Billy I,aval's tricky University of South Carolina Gamecocks will also present new plays in the Tornado-Bird clash. The wily Carolina leader will have a much better team to work with than he had last season. And it would not be a great surprise to see the Gamecocks topple over the Yellow Jackets in Atlanta next fall. . Laval is known throughout the South as one of the trickiest mentors in football. What his changes are have not been learned but one may rest assured that the Carolina coach has something up his sleeves worth looking at.

If the proper interest 5 not shown it will not be Mr. Jrawford's fault. He has worked (uthfully on the minor sports at Carolina and should be given mch credit for his work. With basketball holding the sportght this week, the next few weeks tiould find boxing holding the upperand. Many teams are out for the asketball title and there will be a hot me at the field house when the teams lix up. The boxing candidates are ist rounding into shape and before le tournament ends some good ma;rial should be found to help next ear's boxing team. While wc arc on the subject of linor sports something should be ?id about wrestling. It is still in its ifancy at Carolina, but that is no rca3n for it to be discarded or allowed ) remain undeveloped. An intra-mural wrestling tournalent disclosed some attractive masrial in the University last year, and, 'ith the sport one of equal imporince with boxing, track, or even basetbaH in North Carolina colleges lere is no reason that South Carolina juld not profit also by the addition of lis sport. Baseball Next rHE coming baseball season is doped to be a good one for the fniversity. The Gamecocks will be linus most of last year's first string icn, but will endeavor, with the re;rvc strength from last year, and the latcrial coming up from the freshman ?ani, to put out a championship team. The Birds will play nineteen games le coming season. Ten games will e played at home and nine abroad. >nly four out of state teams will be layed. Two games will be played 'ith Georgia Tech, and one each with >uke, Davidson, and North Carolina, oth of the games with Georgia Tech ill be played in Columbia.
