For Vacated Post
By Councilmen

presidents held last night in

who "was elected president of the
Tnterdormitory Council last
spring, resigned in favor of
Charles "Puddin" Wales vice-
president.

-of the meeting, said that due to
heavy scholastic work he was
unable to devote what he
thought would be sufficient time
to his duties as president of the
council. "I have enjoyed work
ing with you all and I regret
having to resign, but I can com
mend "Puddin" as most worthy
for the position.
"Let me urge your help and
cooperation ; if the whole council
will work with him, this can be
.the best year it has ever known.
I offer my support wholeheart
edly to everything you may do
during the year."

cepted . by the council and pre
sided over the election of a vice
president to succeed himself. Bill
Hill president of Lewis dormi
tory was elected, defeating Bill
Pearson, president of Everett.
It was decided, in accordance
with previous plans, to elect all
dormitory athletic officers and
floor councillors last night. Re
sults were not available until
after the Tar Heel went to
press. -
Lee Shanor was introduced by
Fred Weaver as a representative
from the students in the Strowd,
Sutton and Whitaker buildings.
This is the first town represen
tation in the council. Me was
welcomed by Wales.
Future Plans
Plans of the coming year were
discussed including ideas for
decorations of dormitories on the

GRAHAM DENIES '
HE IS SLATED
FOR ISLEPOST
Discounts Rumors ,
Concerning Puerto
Rico Governorship
Newspaper reports that Dr.
frrank Graham, president of the
University, was being considered
by' President Roosevelt for "the
governship of Puerto Rico was
denied yesterday by Dr. Graham.
"I know nothing whatever
about it," he said, and sources
close to President Graham stated
that he would not leave the Unk
versity.
Not Surprising
The president has been close
to the Washington administra
tion and has served in important
capacities, and the report that
he was being considered for the
insular post is not surprising.
He was a member of the edu
cational committee and vice
chairman of the consumers ad
visory committee of the NRA,
and held the chairmanship of
the advisory committee on social
security. Dr. Graham was also
a member of the committee that
framed the. report on the south
which the national emergency
council recently submitted.
Since Dr. Graham has denied
his supposed appointment, it
could not be learned last night
who might be slated for the post.

LEAGUE FINALLY '
SAYS TACKLE'S V
SLATE IS CLEAN
Article 12 Not
Interpreted To
Cover Ship Teams
By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN
Gates Kimball, star sophomore
tackle on the varsity football
team, was declared eligible for
intercollegiate competition late
yesterday afternoon by action of
the Southern conference execu
tive committee.
"The reason for this decision,"
Dean Hobbs said late last night,
"is that the committee interpret
ed the clause covering this situa
tion as not including battleship
teams."
The decision was immediately
forwarded to Chapel Hill by Dr.
W. H. Wannamaker, of Duke
university, president of the
Southern conference and head
of the executive board.
Status Questioned
For several weeks .Kimball's
status was unknown, mainly be
cause of the newspaper publicity
given him. It was known that
several members of the South
ern conference had declared
three players ineligible because
they had played football on serv
ice teams while in the Army.
Kimball, serving in the Navy in
1935 and 1936, had played ship
board football' on the U. S. S.
Idaho, and sports writers began
questioning his right to partici
pate in intercollegiate football
because of Article 12 of the con
ference constitution.
However, no official - action
was taken, and no one registered
a complaint with the executive
board or asked for a ruling.
Voluntarily, the. University
turned to the , committee and
asked that a decision on Kimball
be made. President Wannamaker
sent complete case histories to
the three other members of the
board, Fletcher (Washington
and Lee), Cowper (Virginia
Military Institute), and Hobbs
