MAROONS SHADE EARLINGTON FIVE 48-39 JiV LISTLESS AFFAIR OFFICIAL 1948 KITTY LEAGUE SCHEDULE iPMRRPIP Harris Scores 16 Points In 21st Decision SEC Advises Adoption Of Sanity Code TELL ME By ELMER KELLEY July 6 Open Date Denote Sunday Double Date Denote Doubleheader July 12-13 Open for All-Star Game By CHICK HOSCH BIRMINGHAM, Feb. 21. JP Southeastern Conference delegates resumed their annual meeting here today with three major ttems on the agenda. The two-day session actually is reconvening of the annual De-, cember meeting which recessed in Biloxi, pending action by Its January aes- ttoai Aims The delegates were faced with these matters: (1) Taking a stand on the NCAA's new sanity code with particular emphasis on providing financial aid for athletes. (2) Selecting a commissioner to sucosed Mike Conner, who resigned last year because of ill health after serving as the league's first czar since September, 1940, (3) Taking a stand on the question of committing the conference football champion to play in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans each year.

Sanction Code A group of Southeastern Conference representatives, at the instigation of Coach Bob Neyland of Tennessee, met here Thursday with representatives from the Southern and Southwest Conferences to interpret the NCAAs new code. They agreed that financial aid to any athlete, from any source in any form, could not exceed the amount of the actual expenses of the individual institution, under the provisions of the new code. The Southeastern delegates put that in the form of a recommendation and passed it on to the 12 college presidents, who as a body, constitute the leagues governing body. Moore Mentioned On the matter of selecting a new commissioner, the board has before it a recommendation from a special nominating committee. For several weeks it has been rumored that Coach Bemie Moore LSU would be the choice of die committee, and neutral ob-ervers expressed belief that ha will be named to the position.

As to tying up with the Sugar 3owl, it appeared likely that such vill be done if details satisfactory to both parties can be worked I out. Mortons Anton Nebo Drop Battles: Charleston ins By ELMER KELLEY Messenger Sports Editor Gene Tate's Madisonville Maroon marked their tWcnty-first cage ixfctory of the season here last night, shading Earlington scrappy1 YellowjacketH In a list less affair which bore little resemblance to better brands of basketball. The score was 48-39 with a last-minute Ramsey-fed flurry providing the nine-point margin, Earlington jumped to the fore with eight points before the Tatemen could register and the first Maroon basket, a long heave by front courtman Emmett An- derson, came after five minutes of the initial period had elapsed. Then the ultimate winners bagged 16 points before Earlington could score again, the final five coming Ih the first two minutes of the second stanza, The first period tally was 11-8 and the' halftime count 23-15. Mild Breakaway The Maroons gave a fleeting impression of basket prowess In the closing chapters of the second quarter to run the halftimi market to 23 points.

But for the shooting agility of pivotman Gene Harris, who overall hit eight from the floor, the Jacket offensive in the final stanza might well have overhauled the short Maroon advantage. Earlington tied the ball game at 23-23 after two minutes of the third but Harris hit a twisting circle shot and followed with a layup to push the Tatemen back into a lead they never relinquished. The third quarter score stood 33-28 and contrasting baskets held the same breach until near the close of the final stanza when Ramsey hit successive layups just prior to the final whistle. Galaxy Of Errors Both ball clubs displayed their poorest form of the season, both from floor game angle and in shooting percentages. Madison- villes offensive had an overall mark of .32 percent, counting 20 connections in 65 attempts from the floor.

Earlington fired 53 times and hit but. 15 for a1 26 shooting average. The Jackets 1 marked times from the gratis line and the winners had eight hits. Gene Harris, and Walter EisOn left the contest on five personalis while the five Jacket starters finished the contest. Harris 16 points led the nights individual scoring while Earling-tons Fred Davis counted 13 on flve fielders and three free tosses.

Frank Ramsey had 12 on four and four and Emmett Anderson notched nine on tour and one. Bob Fox held Earlingtons second slot behind Davis with 19 points on four and two. Mgdisonville'g reserves copped the preliminary 33-15 with Red Coburn leading the winning parade on 10 points. PAGE FOUR SATURDAY, FEB. 21, 1948 'AC Aujt.

A meeting tomorrow afternoon will give said committee a chance to study the suggestions jpMely and report to the council meeting next Friday night. Meanwhile, it is understood that recently Mayor Parish proposed to members of the directing body of Madisonville Baseball Coroor ation that said corporation rid it self of the aspects of a financia stock company, resolve itself to become a non-profit organization then a satisfactory arrange ment could be worked out with the city government.

As it nod Stands, as Mayor Parish pointed out, Madisonville Baseball Corporation is not a non-profit organization because a possible dividend is in view. Mayor Parish explains that no profit organization can leas: Municipal Stadium, or the concessions for that matter. Council-men who advocate a lease of tw: years of the concession to the baseball corporation, therefore cannot, under the law', effect such an arrangement. A Court of Appeals decisionl regarding the same setup in Ashland, is on the book: tc prove the point, so Mayor Parish states. Meanwhile, time is being lost, i Its less than six weeks until the first contingent of spring train ecs will arrive in Madisonville, to begin conditioning at Municipal If the council intends action toward revampment of the stadium, there cant be very much staring.
