Book er revealed yesterday afternoon that he had introduced a resolu tion at the last faculty meeting to limit the number of football games outside of the Southern conference area to two. Dr. Booker stated that Caro lina as one of the strong teams of the Southern conference must play more games among its members and uphold its prin ciples if the conference is to last. Carolina only played six games out of nine last year in the conference and one was with Virginia which, strictly speak ing, is not a conference member, he said. Reasons The main purpose of the games with highly reputed teams is publicity and large gate receipts, and it is Dr. Booker's belief that games in the South ern conference are played under more equal circumstances and therefore of more interest to -football fans. His last reason for introduc ing this "motion to lessen a re cognized; evil" was a personal interest n games between teams' of the conference area.
