Nesrsta leading a enemas) drive from the Manhattan 38 yard line. and Todd a little later racing 70 yards around the Jasper left end. Byrne scored for Manhattan on a plunge from the one-yard line. The same was played on a muddy field but this did not prevent both teams from trying all their plays and the backs held their footing remarkably well. The Manhattan touchdown followed two 'dialed Aggie penalties, the last giving the Jaspers the ball on the Aggie one-yaid stripe.

A. and M. gained the ball on the Manhattan 38 on a fine punt return by Way Ion Manning. Two short passes made a first down on the Manhattan- 25. Shockey passed to Nesrsta for six.

then Nesrsta crashed tackle for It Nesrsta made one and a pass from Shockey and Seago carried to the Manhattan one. Nesrsta circled right end for the touchdown. Morrow added the point. The first half was colorless with most of the play between the 30- yard luies. Things picked up In the third when Nesrsta led the smashing surge over the Jasper line.

The Aggie back was injured but remained In the game long enough to score. Todd's long run was sensational. Shaking off several Manhattan tacklers, he outran the field for a touchdown that brought the crowd to its feet. 1.1n.up and pumm.ry: Texas A. and M.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.OilThe Mi. issippi Rebels halted Tennessee's great comeback campaign Saturday by fighting the VOW to a scoreless tie before 16.000 at Crump Stag dium. They battled valiantly but there wasn't enough steam in the attack of either to bring any serious scoring threes until the final minute of the game. Then Mississippi drove to Tennessee's six-yard line in a desperate passing attack that was tut short by this final gum Neither the Vols. Phil Dickens or the Rebels Ray Hapes could crack the stubborn defenses of the forwards.

and every drive that began to click bogged down with a lumbte or an intercepted pass. There was nothing to choose between the teams Saturday, for both made seven first downs and. total yardage gained was Tennessee 72, Mississippi 162. Balked Three Times Three times in the second quarter the Vol. had scoring chances with first downs deep in Rebel territory, but they were balked twice by the fighting Mississippi forwards and the third time by an intercepted.

pass. Babe Wood. Vol substitute quarterback. electrified the crowd in the third quarter. He took Dave Bernard's punt on his 20 and reeled off 55 yards before being brought down, but the gain was nullified when the Vo Is were brought back to their 37 for clipping.

The final seconds brought the biggest thrill when Hapes intercepted Wood's pass on his 45 and ran to Tennessee's 34. Peters picked up three at left tackle and Baumstein passed to Poole, who lateraled to Bernard for five. Bernard whipped a pass to Graham on Tennessee's 15, and then Baumstein tossed one to Bernard on the Vol six-yard line as the game ended.

The annual meeting ahould be harmonioue There are few important proposed changes to be considered. The Southeastern Conference kicked the old sebsidisation bugaboo off its door steps last year in a sweeping "New Dear for athletes. There is no more of the obi cover-up dodge and hypocrisy. The Southeastern is out in the open. And John Q.

Public thinks all the more of the S. es for its new policy. There had been little discussion over the proposed changes to Ist considered. It believed the menibers will consider: 1. An active part in the oponsurahip of the annual Sugar Bowl game in New Orleans, 2.

A proposal to change the name of the Southvabtern Con. ference to the Deep South Conference. 3. The extension of playing time for junior college graduates. 4.

Numbering jersies worn by football players, butts front and back. 5. Requiring every member of the conference to play at least five conference games. 6. Allowing frebhman football teams to play at least four games.

The Southeastern Conference will be given an opportunity by the sponsors of the Sugar Bowl game to share in the sponsorship of the annual game. A committee Is coming from New Orleans to ask assistance from the conference. It is understood the Sugar Bowl sponsors want the S. E. C.

to name the outstanding team each year as the South's representative in the Sugar Bowl game. The Sugar Bowl will have a beating capacity of more than 60,000 for the 1938 game. And with the prebtige the Southeastern Conference would give the grime by agreeing to pick the S. E. C.

representative each year and help in the sponsorship of the game. it is believed the Sugar Bowl would become the outstanding New Year's Day football attraction. New dean is close enough to the East and Midweect to draw thousands of visitors for the game. New York and Chicago are within 24 hours of the Crescent City. Several Southeastern members are known to feel kindly toward the idea of the S.

E. C. sharing in the sponsorship of the game. And it is believed the executive council of the S. E.

C. and the Sugar Bowl committee will reach decision to the benefit of all concerned. The name of Southeastern has never been an appropriate name for the conference. in pulling out of the Southern Conference the 13 members forgot to ask for the name of Southern. As it is now the Southern Conference is really the Southeastern Conference and the Southeastern Conference is the Southern.

That is if you go by your geography. The name of Deep South has been suggested by a number of newspapers. It would certainly classify the conference for other sections of the country. There has been much said about changing the name, but to date no action has been taken. There is an outside chance that the executive council might get around to properly designating the 13 members.

There are said to be at least six members desiring a change in the rule governing the playing time of junior college graduates. They are seeking to have the rule changed, giving junior college graduates one more year of playing time. The junior college graduates would have to get in their junior college play and their Southeastern Conference play within five years. Most conference schools number jersies worn by football players, both front and back. There are several schools that refuse to put numbers on the front of jersies worn by the football players.

All schools should be considerate enough of the people who make possible the gate receipts to give the public every assistance possible as an aid keeping up with the football players. Numbering the football jersies was one of the smartest moves made to popularize football. And there is no reason for a few schools holding out on the public. Requiring each member to play at least five conference games would give every school in the conference -a better schedule. If the conference is to mean anything, then there should be more conference rivalry.

Some of the schools can't get as many conference games as they would like to play. Then too if every team was required to play fsve conference games there wouldn't be a chance for a team to claim something it wasn't entitled to claim. There are some members of the conference who believe each school should be required to play at least seven or eight conference games. Two games a Fall aren't enough to keep the freshmen interested. It takes competition to keep the yearling interested.

As it is now the freshmen are bored with too much practice for so little action under competitive conditions. Dr. George H. Denny, president of the University of Alabama, will welcome the Southeastern Conference delegates at 10 o'clock Friday morning in the Union Building. There will be a meeting of the exetutiee-eTSff T-)ci at InTelock in the Tutwiler Dining Hall.

The first business session will be held at 2 o'clock at the Mc-Lester. The University of Alabama will give a banquet to the delegates and visitors at 6:30 Friday evening in the McLester banquet hall. The final session will be held at 11 O'CIOCK Saturday morning. Getting Started Jim Burt, executive vice president of the Barons; Billy West, secretary: Ole Horse Stephenson and Bill Pierre, scout, didn't return from Montreal empty-handed. They saw things and did things at the minor league meeting in Montreal.

Renewal of the working agredinent with the Chicago Cubs was the best piece of work the young Baronial executive accomplished. The Chicubs helped to put the Barons up in the first division last year. And the first division club enabled the Barons to install and pay for lighting equipment, settle a few debts and get the club in the black ink for the first time since 1931. With the Cubs to lend assistance. the Barons should continue to stick in the first division.

A minor leagee club' has got to have a major league cousin these days. Atlanta had no working agreement with a major club last year, but Earl 'Mann had good friends in the majors. It all amounts to the same. The Barons purchased six players and disposed of Joe Woodard, the 1936 utility player. Woodard would be a class man next year and Stephenson decided he wouldn't have a regular position for him to play.

So he was traded to Elmira along with Brooks Haigler, and cash for Gerald Hannahoe, a promising first sacker. The Barons bought a wholesale assortment of players from Sioux City. They are getting Phil Seghi, a third baseman and three pitchers, John Lotz, Clarence Bertram and Kinner Graf. Spelling of names not guaranteed. Riggs Stephenson thought Cy Moore, the Little Rock rifleman, was a swell pitcher last year.

Stephenson now has old Cy to start as a regular on his hurling staff. Moore won 12 and lost 13 for Doc Prothro. He should do much better in 1937. A change of scenery most times helps a player after he has been at one place any length of time. It will be interesting to see how the new faces fit in the scheme of things for 1937.

Riggs Stephenson did a swell job with a slough of new faces in Baronial uniforms this past season. Many think he turned in the outstanding job of managing in the league. He went places after it looked like he would go through the bottom of the league. BY CHARLES MADISON BARRETT Doan Of Men. VendorS.It Univerody Sports writers, authors of magazine articles about colleges, and various committees on the Investigation of college athletics, have made much of the words, "recruiting" and "subsidizing." In college and out, we have been led to believe that these are the major sins of what is usually referred to as "overemphasized athletics." The terrible charge of recruiting may arise simply from some interested person urging a boy to attend a certain university.

and subsidizing may mean no more-than finding somewhere help for a boy who needs it. help received is large or small does not alter the case. Occurs Rarely I am inclined to believe that this sort of thing actually occurs rarely in first-class institutions. Now and then, an over-enthusiastic alumnus or friend may promise too much, but little harm will come of it if the college itself is not a party to the crime. One of the best explanations of the terms under discussion that I have seen appeared recently in a college paper.

It was something like. this: "The colleges that we can beat in football are all fair and honest in all their relations. but the colleges that beat us are guilty of recruiting and subsidizing." This illustrates about how seriously should be taken the charges usually heard. What I have been trying to say may be summed up as follows: No college need worry about charges of recruiting and subsidizing if the faculty of that college hews to the line on the admission of every student before he enters and demands serious and successful work from him while he is in college. Beyond this there is little that the college can do.

Approximately 7.000 madly chcering fans braved the elements to witness a Same drab throughout with the single exception of Sloan's sensational scoring drive that culminated in a touchdown pass across the goal line into the waiting arms of Jim Benton, all-conference end. Texas had every advantage in statistics except forward gassing, and the Arkansas aerial circus proved that even a December storm couldn't check its sensational effectiveness. The Arkansas eleven completed eight out of 16 forwards for a total of 71' yards. The scoring break in the game of punts and fumbles came on a forward pass interception late in the third period. Texas had the ball on its own 45-yard line.

Haltback Wallace Lawson dropped back and heaved a long forward intended Collins. Sloan, circling behind Quarterback Jack Robbins who covered Coffins took in the forward on his own 30. Cutting around in a wide sweep, he dashed back ap and across the field through the disorganized Texans before. he was finally smothered on the 44. Sloan then shot a forwerd to Martin for eight yards and another neat pass to Benton for 10 more giving Arkansas a first down on the Texas 25.

Faking a pass, Sloan drove through the line for five and then heaved another pass to Ben- ton for a first down on the Texas 13. Sloan again ran with the ball, slashing seven yards through the mud to the Texas six. On the next play he shot a hard, fast one across the goal to Benton, who came up between two backs to fold in the forward and stumble on his face, safe with the winning touchdown. B. A.

Ga.Tuskegee struck twice through the air here Saturday to defeat Morris Brown, 12-6, and win the Southeastern championship. Both scores were chalked up in the first half. Collier passed 25 yards to Charles Smith, who ran 15 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter.

In the second quarter De Iton caught Collier's 28-yard pass over the goal for a touchdown. Both extra points were missed. Morris Brown made its lone score in the second quarter when an eight-yard pass. Braxton to English, climaxed a drive from midfield led by Braxton. Tuskegee made five first downs for 150 yards during the game, while Morris Brown chalked up 14 first downs for 294 yards.

Sr. (.00) l's18-35 14x10-33 Clearly, under some circumstances both recruiting and subsidizing are not objectionable and they may be highly desirable. It is the duty of students, faculty, alumni and friends of a university to call to the attention of outstanding high school graduates the merits of their own particular institution. Many colleges believe that students who rank well up in scholarship and at the same time take a lively interest in--athletics, journalism, dramatics, are the most promising pracpects for success in after-college life. Such men are eagerly sought by all colleges.

If now, the boy concerned happens to be an outstanding football player. the charge of recruiting is sure to be hurled at whatever college he decides no matter what other promising qualities he may have. He may be capable of taking a college education and of profiting by every opportunity the college has to offer. The person who recruits this boy has done both him and the college a service. Under what conditions, then, is recruiting to be condemned? If our prospective student is told, or is led to believe, that he is being invited to attend college solely because of his athletic ability, that he can enter with less than the full requirements, and can stay in college with less than the normal achievement, he is being recruited in the objectionable sense.

Somebody is doing both this boy and the college a great injustice. No Possible Way I see no possible way of preventing either recruiting or subsidizing by passing rules against them, either by the athletic associations or by individual colleges. The remedy lies in the hands of the college faculties. If they never allow a boy to enter without the full requirements or to remain in college without keeping up a creditable performance, there will be little harm done, no matter who foots the boys bills. The case of subsidizing is very similar to that of recruiting and calls for the same remedy.

It is considered a fine thing to provide the means for a capable and ambitious boy who cannot otherwise afford it, to prepare himself in college for a successfid and useful If the boy is also a good football player, is the man who helps him. then to be condemned? In this case, however. the charge of subsidizing may be heard. There are thousands of boys in American universities today doing splendid work who could not be there but for the help of some sort-loans, soholarships, or jobs. Many of them are athletes; many are not.

At Vanderbilt we are continually asking our friends to contribute to loan funds and to establish scholarships to help worthy boys. Certainly the athlete has as much right to share in these as any other student. The thing that makes a man a bona fide student is, after all, not what led him to attend a college or where the money comes from that keeps him there, but what he does in the college classroom. Is subsidizing, then, ever a sin? Yes. If a boy is given money, a scholarship or a job to make it possible for him to attend college for the purpose of playing football and is told that as long as he is successful on the football field he will be allowed to stay in college, some- one is guilty of the worst form of subsidizing.

The field wastrimmed to the low 75 pros and ties for th, final 36 holes to be played Sunday and Monday. Guldahl had a weird round. He was on only three greens as he should have been but his chip shots were dead to the pin and he needed only 22 puts for the 18 holes. even though he missed a five-footer on the tenth.
