Ppnich of the southwest conference 'the most important item, was the promised report by Major John Griffith, special investigator, who has devoted months to ferreting out any evidence of subsidization in Texas schools.

Just what evidence the Big Ten official has accumulated, if any. has been kept secret pending today's meeting. Secondly, and of intense interest to sponsors of the Dixie Classic, annual all-star benefit tilt here, was the scheduled vote by the Southwest Conference faculty committee on the question of abolishing the so-called "anti-seniot" rule passed ft year ago. The rule forbade any senior playiog in post-season football contests, on penalty of becoming ineligible to participate in. basketball, baseball and track.

Third, there was the annual problem: To admit or not to admit another member to the Southwest Conference. Centenary College of Shreveport and Texas Tech of Lubbock were regarded as certain applicants. Prospects were, however, that the seed would Jail on barren soil, as the conference seems disposed to worry along for a while, at least, with its present seven-school lineup. While the section's major circuit was threshing out these problems, the executive committee of the Texas Conference and Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association were to review the year 1930 in their rcspec- MEMPHIS, Dec.

Decision Expected on Draft Question in Baseball Today NEW YORK, Dec. trftd lie between the major leagues and the big minors still at a standatll while their representatives try iron out remaining details relative to a new draft agreement, most tV'e news coming from the majo league meetings here originate! with busy hand of baseballs ol timers who have been seeking- jobs end getting them. Some sort of a decision on the draft question was expected as the minor league committee nine and the major League representatives were to get together again alter reporting back to their meetings on the progress made In yesterday's conference.

Although no official announce' ment was made after yesterday' conference, it was believed that the committees had agreed on a suitable draft price but the minors vere holding out lor their proposition that they should be, allowed to ki ep young players lor two or three years before they can be drafted and majors want to hare 15 men out on option for three years In stead of eight men for two yean. The meetings of the National and American Leagues were given 'over to discussions of various subjects ranging from the screening ol parks to curb home runs to the "chain ttore 1 system without taking any action. But down in the hotel lobbies business moving briskly with veterans transacting most of it. Two former athletics catchers, Wally Schang and Cy Perkins, found their places with new teams, Schang going to Detroit and Perkins to the York Yankees.

Burns as ttch and Bender as scout. Other job seekers were old Jack Qulnn, who hoped to catch on with Brooklyn, and George Staler of the S.Kton Braves and Lou Blue of the St. Louis Browns, both veteran first basemen. It was understood thai both had been given permission -to make the best arrangements possible for their services but neither landed a new place.

Much conversation concerning possible trades among major league clubs was passed back and forth but no deals were completed. BANKER'S NEARING CLOSE SAN ANTONIO, Dec. The government today tested its case against A. V. Campbell, former cashier of the National Bank of.
