S. I. A A. CONVENTION
could not lie received as a mem
ber of the convention. Mr.
George, however, was allowed
to make a statement, in which
lie acknowledged that Mercer
had been guilty of the charges
against her, and said that he
came to confess everything, lie
said that Mercer considered her
suspension as just, and that lie
believed that the effect had been
to open the eyes of the Faculty
and students to the importance
of pure amatiire college sport.
Further, he stud that the Faculty
had taken active control of ath
letics at Mercer, and that there
would be no more trouble after
this. A high scholarship will
be required of all athletes in
future. After the frank confes
sion of Mr. George, the suspen
sion of Mercer was removed by
a unanimous vote.
The decisions of the officials
in the Georgia-Auburn game and
in the Vanderbilt-Nashville
game were discussed, and, on
motion, were referred to the Ex
ecutive ('ommittee for settle
ment.
Article IX . of the constitution
was amended in lines four and
five to read “college year” in
stead of “term.” My this amend
ment, no man can piny on any
college team unless he matricu
lates within thirty days after the
opening of tlie fall term.
To Article XII. a new section
was added, as follows : “The
President shall enforce all pen
alties provided in this constitu
tion, and he shall fix penalties
for the violation of those laws
where no penalty is specified ;
Imi till of his acts must lie sub
mitted bv him to the Executive
(’ommittee for approval.”
A resolution was adopted ask-
ing the Eastern Association,
which forms the foot-lmll rules,
to make several amendments of
minor importance. (>ne of these
amendments is that each side in
a foot-hall contest be allowed
only twety minutes of time taken
out in a foot-lmll game. This
will do away with a team’s play
ing for time and wind, and will
greatly improve the game for
the spi ctators. The other
amendments are technical ones,
concerning the measuring of disj
tance on downs.
The following officers were
elected for the ensiling year:
President—Dr. William L.
