W. Hobbs, dean of the School of Arts and Science at Carolina, was elected presi dent of the Southern conference here today in the annual meeting of the circuit. He succeeds W. H. Wanna maker of Duke university. George Washington university of Washington, D. C, was voted into the conference, places for conference meets were assigned, a seven-year eligibility rule was passed with cer tain modifications, an eligibility rule concerning junior college graduates was adopted, and a motion to increase payments to a football officiating agency was tabled until next year's meeting. Since the conference constitution reads that a school does not become eligible to participate in conference events until the following year if it is voted into the conference during the year, George Washington does not become eligible for participation in athletic events until September 1, 1941. . . Modifications placed on the proposal by N. C. State college to allow athletes called for national emergency duty in the army seven years in which to com plete their athletic eligibility was modi fied to allow a man who serves one year six years to finish his athletic career and a player who serves two years seven in which to play three years of varsity ball and one year of freshman competition. Carolina again gained the confer ence indoor games, but the conference swimming meet, which was held here last year, was moved to Virginia Tech. Duke was voted the loop tennis tourna ment, and the basketball tourney was given to Raleigh again. Dates estab lished for the court tourney are t eD ruary 28 29 and March 1.

With the approval of Adolf Hitler, Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, Laval's only superior in France, stripped the vice-premier of his offices and emolu ments, and according to some "accounts had-him taken into custody. " In Laval's post as foreign minister was placed Pierre Eteinne Slandin, who had "been mentioned often in re ports trickling over, the French-border as competifljj with Laval for the post of "niddletfian" in Franco-German negtiationsjooking toward ever closer coiianoration 01 tne two nations.

'. The significance of these events was as is customary in the Nazi-dom inated area of Europe obscured in secrecy and censorship that cut Vichy off from the outside world for about 18 hours. However, Petain in announcing the changes to the French people in a radio broadcast, made plain that Germany had given full approval to the shift arid tkat it was designed to improve Franco- German collaboration and increase pub lic support within France for such col- aboration.i: 1 Petain has traveled widely in unoc cupied France in recent weeks, and is known to be in possession of informa tion indicating; that not aU the Frenb populace has been lined up behind the program. - In London it Was not thought that he switch greatly changed the situa ion.

The purpose of the meeting is to exchange ideas in student government among various student leaders all over the country.

At the present time, Martin is vice-president of the South ern Federation of College Students and a member of the national execu tive committee, as well as a director of the southeastern conference of the national organization. Students Rank Physically With World War Youth Contrary to the beliefs of numerous old men and women and a few medi cal authorities who have declared that the bodies of America's young men are slowly degenerating the physical fitness of the younger generation of North Carolina is today just as high as it was during the last World War. This fact is substantiated by the estimation of the physical condition of candidates for the recently-installed.! Naval Reserve Officers Training corps at the University by Captain Robert S. Haggart, head of the unit. A conservative estimation, Captain Haggart has disclosed, is that "better than 60 per cent" of the students who applied for acceptance in the Chapel Hill corps were able to meet the phy sical requirements. Captain Haggart pointed out that statistics were not kept on' the exact number of students desiring admit tance into the unit, but revealed that 113 passed the physical exam. He said that 105 men enrolled in the present ac tive group. Compared with data released by the United States Department of War con cerning medical examination of draf tees when America entered the war in 1917, Captain Haggart's estimate is approximately the same. 5 if - L z " r i r i f ' Y HHSTy , ' r i ' ' ' v v V : MCA u Conference NUMBER 67 A ICS Tar Heels End Pre-Christmas Practice Season By Leonard Lobred Carolina's White Phantoms main tained their nine-point half-time ad vantage through to the end last night and defeated the McCrary 1 Eagles. 46-35, in ending their pre-Chri3tmas practice game schedule. George Glamack, the Allen town Ambler, slipped from his three-game average by two points, but still regis tered 23 points - although - closely watched most of the evening by Earl Ruth, former all-Southern conference guard and captain of the Phamtomsf in 1938. The McCrary semi-pros, witSi a first team composed of former lool legiate stars, had a record of essfct wins and a defeat only to the High Point YMCA in nine starts. First Half Slow " ' McCrary missed a total of 17 foul shots while making only' seven! "Mor ris Watts, a former Catawba standout and high scorer for the visitors" with 21 points, missed the most - seven. Watts missed four in a row in the first half, which was one of the slowest ever seen on the local gym floor. Fine defensive play featured the first period, which ended with Caro lina ahead, 20-11. Hank Pessar sank two goals, Bobby Gersten and Glamack one each, and Carolina was ahead, 7-0, before McCrary even scratched. Glamack, Jimmy Howard i twice and Pessar . once pushed the count to 15-2 before Earl Ruth sank two;in'a row. When McCrary finally clicked, it was too late.:. : " Glamack Opens Up ' The' Allentown Ambler really opened up in the second half, having - Only seven points to show for his first, half eff orts, . and sank buckets f rorn posi tions he never played in his two pre vious seasons of varsity balL Over head from' almost any distance, he dropped them in," and dribbled and passed' excellently. ' Glamack pushed in five goals in the first six minutes, and when he rested, McCrary, with Watte doing most of the ball-hawking and shooting, rose to 32-21 and then 37-31 before Gla mack, Julian Smith and Joe Nelson began popping again!- flank ' Pessar fouled out with five minutes left; and Glamack and Howard each had three personals called against them at that time. Bobby Gersten again took the ball off the backboard regularly while the larger fellows pushed it up there. He and Jimmy Howard played the entire game at guard and each added to the score. Julian Smith worked twith Joe Nelson and Hank, Pessar alternated with George Paine at forwards. Earl Ruth provided a show, as usual, for the old home folks with, his tricky floor-maneuvering and change of pace dribbling. His eye was able to gain only four markers, but his job ef guarding Glamack was enough to keep him busy. The Phantoms rest now until De cember 31, when they have a return match with Hanes hosiery here.
