The probation period extends far the calendar year of 1952. Maryland and Clemson can play other conference grid teams in games required by state statutes. And they may play each other under special concession made shortly after the. probation vote was taken.

The vote placing the two schools on probation and inflicting the footbaU schedule boycott was 12-5. The action was taken because Mary land and Clemson violated confer ence regulations by accepting foot baU bowl invitations without the league's approval. Earlier today, the conference voted 14-3 against granting permis sion to Maryland to play in the Sugar Bowl New Year's afternoon. Afterwards, however. Dr.

H. C. (Curly) Byrd, president of the University ot Maryland, said his school planned to keep the engagement with Tennessee Just the Clemson polled the conference when it received an invitation to meet Miami of Florida in the Gator Bowl at Jacksonville, Fla. The request was denied. Clemson accepts ed the bid anyway.

The schedule boycott applies only to footbaU and runs for tbe period of probation only. Maryland's 1952 grid schedule, already completed, includes contests with six conference teams. North Carolina, West Virginia, George Washington, Washington and Lee. North Carolina State and South Carolina. The Clemscn -South Carolina game is an annual feature of tbe South Carolina State Fair and highlights -Big Thursday- The game is fixed by the state legislature, and under terms of the resolution, it may continue to be played.

By special motion or Inrtn Stewart, president of West Virginia University, the conference made its one other concession to the schools on probation they may play a footbaU game with each other. This move was unanimous. After the action, Frank Howard, head footbaU coach at Clemson, said: "I dont think It's right And G. F. Eppley, Maryland's faculty chairman of athletics, commented: "I am surprised.

Surprised, indeed." After heated speeches for an against the resolution, the roU call vote to place the schools on probation went this way: For William aad Mary, Davidson. Duke, George Washington, North Carolina State, North Carolina, the University of' Richmond, Virginia Military Institute, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Washington and Lee and West Virginia University. Against Clemson, Furman. The Citadel, Maryland, South Carolina. The resolution had been drawn up in a quickly-called meeting late today of presidents of the member schools.

These were the same presidents who last September 28 met in Chapel HU1, N. and voted to outlaw participation by confer ence members in bowl contests. The presidents' parley followed soon after Dr. Byrd pleaded with the delegates to the annual con vention in a 26-minute address to give the undefeated Terps permission to play In the New Orleans classic. Dr.

A. Helhs Eden, president of Duke University, who presented the resolution, said a majority of the coUege heads at the atternoon ses- sion agreed to it He said Dr. Byrd did not vote and that Clem-son's president, Robert Franklin Poole, opposed The resolution also provided that any institution on probation would "not have the privilege of voting as a member of the conference dur ing the period of probation. immediately after tne resolution was read, D. S.

McAlister, conference secretary-treasurer and faculty athletic chairman at the Citadel, said his school could not support the proposal. It's too severe a penalty, Mc Alister said. "It involves every member of the conference. I know something about making football Tun Page Tea any holidays falling between the first and last practice. Earlier another Sarratt proposal aimed at making the SEC a non-bowler met fast death when there wasnt a president who cared to second the Sarratt motion.

Dec. 14.

VP) There will be no traditional Clem' son College-University of South Carolina State Fair footbaU game next year unless the schools ignore the Southern Conference, or get tne state's legislature to pass a law requiring the game. The conference in annual meet ing at Richmond today banned Clemson and Maryland from clay ing Southern Conference schools next year, except in cases where games are reauired bv law. This wap in punishment for their accepting forbidden bowl game bios The very highest authority on the subject of South Carolina-Clemson football games, who flatly refuses to have his name used, told The Associated Press tonight "there definitely is no law, and never has been one, requiring the two schools' football teams to play." A few years ago Soeaker of the State House of Representatives Sol tuatt of Barnwell, former university trustee ana chairman of its athletic committee, tried to get passed a bill that would have had the effect of requiring the game to be played annually. The legislation was defeated. Since 1896 the two state school! have met In football here on Thursday ot State Fair Week, usually tbe fourth week of October.

The day is a legal state holiday in Richland (Columbia) County. So the only chance of the two schools meeting as usual next State Fair Week is to (1 defy the con ference or (2) get the state leeisla ture. which meets here January 8, to enact a law requiring them to nlav in 1952. The legislative action seems the likely course. But there's no assurance that the conference would accept such a law, coming, as it would, after the conference naa agreed to exception, Barnum And FurgolLead HavanaMeet HAVANA, Dee.
