Honey Hackney
Takes Mantle
Of Ace Parker
DURHAM, Dc. 8.— (fP) —Elmore
(Honey) Hackney, t he 165 pound
speedster from Durham who quar
terbacked the Duke grid team of
the past season well enough to win
all-conference honors, will have a
heavy load to fall on his shoulders
when the 1937 campaign rolls
around.
It Is to this boy that Duke fol
lowers are looking to fill, as well as
possible, the shoes of Ace Parker.
Some say that Hackney gave up any
Intentions of starring Individually
this season to aid the “Ace" as
much as possible In gaining All
America honor's and contend you'll
have to watch Hackney next year.
He had a great season—this one
just past—especially in his dazzling
punt returns (Incidentally Duke re
turned punts 895 yards in 10 games
and most of this was done by
Hackney), Particularly outstanding
was that 52 yard punt return
against Tennessee.
His passes were excellent this
season and his headwork in guiding
the Duke team pleased Duke coach
es considering that this was his
first season at the job.
He was a star at Durham high
before entering Duke and has
many supporters in this city. He is
the younger brother of Bunn Hack
. ney, well-known southern football
official.

Definite Limit
Proposed For Aid
ASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 8.—(/P>—
The Southeastern Conference should
set a definite limit on the amount
of an “athletic scholarship,” Chan
cellor James H. Kirkland said to
day.
In a letter to Dr. John J. Tigert,
president of the University of Flo
rida and of the conference, Dr.
Kirkland suggested $400 as a rea
sonable maximum amount.
"There’s nothing to prevent a
school from keeping a boy at the
WaldOrf-Astoria,” he pointed out,
"and no limit on what a scholar
ship would be worth to a boy.”
