by six presidents of member institutions and directed by Dr rank Graham of the University of North Carolina was launched two years ago Last yearin the stormiest meeting since the secession of 13 members to form the Southeastern circuit in 1932 the conference abolished the "Graham but retained a modified group of measures aimed to curb subsidization The' University of Virginia declaring the situation to be re signed The conference at' Its 16th annual meeting here last night heard charges uen ne urged unsucces fully the complete elimination nf the rules and proposed that subsidization

conference rejected a propose! by Virginia Tech to boost the acad emic requirements for athletes The conference now requires a varsity athlete to have passed 21 hours dur ing the preceding year and in 1936 voted to raise this minimum to 24 hours effective in September 1938 The resignation of the University of Virginia held in abeyance since last fall was accepted but an invitation was extended the

Tact that when they bartered Jog Vosmik to Boston for Buck Newsom Red Kress and Buster Mills they got back two play ers they previously had sold without giving up any of the cash they had received for them And in' the case of Newsom they had collected 540 000 when he went to Washington in 1935 Obviously that's quite a feat but just one of many pulled off by the unknown trader since he disposed of Kress back in 1932 At that time the Browns started a series of deals with four players They added five others none especially costly and have built their ball clubs: for five years laraciv around the
