jka, Duke, Clemson, Maryland, Washington and Lee or any of the other
schools that have dominated the conference in the past, if league officials grant
ffiembership to George Washington university of Washington, D. O, at the
annual conference meeting in Charlotte tomorrow and Saturday.
The superiority of the Colonials, as they are called, will probably have some
influence on the 15 member schools when they are asked to admit GWU into
the conference. But in the interest of the conference, it would be better in the
long-run if all of the teams did take lickings for a couple of years provided,
of course, that the whole league rises to a higher standard.
Basketball at George Washington is the number one sport The coach
is Bill Reinhart, who gained some distinction for coaching Jee Gordon

teams that are able to do their share in contests with the big basketball
schools of the East, including Temple, City College of New York, Penn,
ViHanova and NYU. The Colonials play Wake Forest and Davidson
every year daring Christmas vacation, and usually finish in the lead by
ten or more points. ,
The University of Maryland, in College Park just a few miles outside of
Washington, will present George Washington's name for membership, al
though GWU would be competition in attracting gate receipts, and in draw
ing talent to the school. GW officials attended the conference tournament last
year, and have applied for membership.
George Washington, with a student body of 7,200, would supposedly be
the largest school in the conference, but almost all of that enrollment is
composed of night students. The school" buildings themselves 'are in ,
downtown Washington, and the school can be ranked only as a small col
lege. The Colonials lost to Wake Forest, 18-0, and beat WL, 20-1 4 in
grid games this year. They also have teams in tennis and golf, and
started baseball only last spring. The situation is the same everywhere
small colleges place emphasis on one sport: Oklahoma A&M has wrestling,
Seton Hall has fencing, Johns Hopkins has lacrosse, Presbyterian has
tennis, McGill of Toronto has ice hockey, and many schools have basket
ball. George Washington is one of these. - -The
Colonials would take the . place vacated by Virginia in 1936, when the

league. The' 15 member schools are The Citadel, Clemson, Davidson, Duke,
Furman, Maryland, Carolina N. C. State, Richmond, South Carolina, VMI,
Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Washington and Lee, and William and Mary.
A proposal to change the five-year limit to a seven-year limit for athletes
called up by the draft is to be made by State college and is almost sure to be
endorsed by such military colleges as Citadel, Clemson, VMI and Virginia
Tech. The provision, if passed, would extend an athlete's playing days over a
period of seven years only if he is called away from school for military service.
At present an athlete has one season of freshman participation, and three
varsity seasons that must be used within four years.
Southern Conference May Extend Term
Of Athletic Eligibility For Draftees
s-
The Southern conference will, meet
at Charlotte tomorrow and Saturday
to vote on whether -io admit a- new
school to the loop 'and whether to ex
tend the loop's five-year eligibility
span to a maximum of seven years for
athletes engaged in "emergency mili
tary service."
As recommended by N. C. State, the
change reads: JfExcept in the case of
a student engaged in emergency mili
tary service, in which case the period
of participation shall rbe extended an
amount equal to the time spent in mil
itary service provided this extension
shall not exceed two years. Under
such ah exception that part of rule
four which requires attendance of one
semester or two quarters in the next
academic year shall riot apply."
The conference laws now limit par
ticipation to one freshman and three
Tarsity seasons over a period of five
consecutive years" 'from the date of first
matriculation. -

If their application is approved, the
Colonials will be eligible to compete
in the winter sport tournament spons
ored by the conference. With a stu
dent body of 7,200, GWU would be the
conference's largest member.
Other Proposals
The conference track committee,
headed by Coach Bob Fetzer, will ask
the conference to amend the five-year
eligibility rule by the addition of the
sentence, "this rule shall apply to all
competition after registration in any
institution above secondary rank."
This is supposedly aimed at junior col
lege transfers.
Maryland will propose that the date
of the annual cross country meet be
changed from the Saturday before
Thanksgiving to the third Monday in
November. This change is presum
ably to avoid conflicting dates of foot
ball and cross country events.
Dr. William H.,Wannainaker, Duke
university dean, is president of the
conference. With him on the execu
tive committee are A. W. Hobbs of
Carolina arid Forrest Fletcher of
Washington and Lee.

Tourney Ends
Today At 5
A "grudge battle," featuring the
best boxing form shown yet, was the
main item of interest yesterday when
the physical education mitt round
robin tournament went through its
next-to-last day.
The tourney will close this after
noon. Ronman promises banner attrac
tions" in all weights, and urges the
public to be present. Bouts start at 5
o'clock.
Floyd White and Paul Thompson,
two 127-pounders, didn't settle a thing
Tuesday when they foaght to a draw,
so they crossed gloves again yester
day under Mike Ronman's supervision,
with left-handed White taking a close
decision before a large gallery. The
pair put on a clean, fair match, one
that was typical of college boxing.
Both showed neat footwork, counter
punching and much aggressiveness. .
In 165, Phil Carleton and Bill John
son struggled to a stalemate, neither
being able to inflict much damage on
the other, Johnson's advantage in arm
length was nullified by Carleton's abil
ity to absorb blows to the head.
Blair Rice and Ed James were able
to do no better in a 175 match, and
Ronman announced a draw after three
rounds of assorted ring antics. Walter
Lambeth took the nod over Ed Early
at 120 pounds, as did George Jordan
over Dave Pearlman in the, same
weight. Ed Boyle edged out Wilson
Harris, 135, in a close battle.
The only varsity performers who
got into the ring yesterday were
Sophomores Bill Krause and Milt Har
ris, who went three rounds at 127, and
Johnny Jones, who looked good against
Abe. Freedman in a 145-pound prac
tice scrap. Andy Gennett was on the
big punching bag, attempting to throw

Spotty Play
In Practice
Too much schoolwork or at least too
much outside distraction was said to be
the cause yesterday by Coach Bill
Lange of the sudden collapse of most
semblances of team play that had been
acquired by the White Phantoms early
in fall practice. ' ,
The Tar Heels scrimmaged against
the Tar Babies again yesterday, and
ended in the lead by 27-21, but spotty
play marred the afternoon's perform
ances. The ability has been there al
ways, but poor thinking left the Phan
toms unable to move the ball into scor
ing position or uncertain on whether
to shoot or not.
The same, symptoms were evident
when the Phantoms played Hanes
Hosiery mill at Winston-Salem Sat
urday night, and lost, 33-32. Practice
this, week hasn't worked out the
roughness, and only two games' remain
before Christmas.- The Phantoms go
to Gujlf ord tomorrow and entertain the
McCrary Eagles on Woollen gym's
main court Saturday night.
The Tar Babies continually broke
up passes and dribbles in scrimmage
yesterday, and left the varsity uncer
tain of what' to do. George Glamack,
Hank Pessar, Julian Smith, Jimmy
Howard and Bobby Gersten were on a
first-team club, working with Hank
Feimster, Joe Nelson, Chuck Harnden
and George Paine before the afternoon
was out.

Barclay sprang into prominence in
the William and Mary meet last year
in Williamsburg when he set Univers
ity records for the short course in the
220- and 440-yard swims. His 440
yard time also established a new pool
