limitation as to number offering that by itself as one proposal and in an alternate proposal calls for complete revision of the regulation with the limitation as to number omitted The University of Florida proposes that "acceptance- of a grant-in-aid must be signed by the recipients natural or legal guardians as well as by the recipient himself In other proposals on the agenda for the 14th meeting Tulane suggests that rotating schedules for basketball and football be mandatory with each school playing every other school at least twice in any four year period and that a committee be named to select the annual champion in those sports Eight-Team Tournaments Georgia Tech offers a similar proposal but instead of requiring that a basketball champion be named suggests that the committee designate eight teams to meet in an annual tournament for the title All teams now compete in such a tournament for the cage title Also Tech's proposal would not require that Auburn and Alabama play each other since they have made no move to schedule competition since 1906 The Auburn-Ala-bama situation has been one of the major obstacles in attempts by some individuals particularly Athletic Director A Alexander of Tech to have the rotating schedule adopted To offset this Alexander suggests that Tech and Mississippi Georgia and Mississippi State Kentucky and Tulane Florida and
