The meeting of the Southern Inter
collegiate Athletic Association which
will be held In Auburn, Ala., on De
cember 22, Is Almost sure to prove the
repeal of the stringent law against the
playing of summer ball which was
passed by this body at the meeting j
with the University of Louisiana last
year. This regulation is now being
freely discussed and during the past
few days many prominent leaders in
college, athletics have declared against
it.
Prof. E. T. Holmes, chairman of
Mercer's athletic council, stated yes
terday that he believed one year of
fruitless effort t<5 enforce the law had
proven sufficient evidence of its un
popularity and he now thinks that an
effort will be made to substitute some
measure which will provide opportu
nity for summer playing and at the
same time continue to eliminate the
professional element from the game as
played by the Institutions belonging to
the association. .
“To allow the college man full free
dom during the summer and at the
same time nrevent the professional el
ement from entering Into college ath
letics when he returns for the season
with the team of his institution has
been the problem with the Southern
Intercollegiate Athletic Association
and many men have devoted them
selves to solving this without very sat
isfactory results,” said Prof. Holmes.
“This Is the situation we are to face
when the meeting takes place In Au
burn. And there may be n more seri
ous one If charges are to be preferred
against the large numbers of college
who have not complied with the
requirements of the law of the present
year.

This is a collection of some war memo-

from the Aral edition of 1971-73. The
book contains a history Of tne rescue of
the material and gives a sketch of Grant's
ought to restrict the playing on sum
mer teams. It will never be stopped
because our young men believe It Is as
Irrelevant to college athletics as the
duty of the book seller. No argument
will bring It into favor with the insti
tutions of the state of Georgia and
something must be done at the coming
meeting for tlje relief of the present
situation.”
Prof. Holmes thinks the plan will
be to repeal the present lav or mod If v
It so there will be no ‘nterference with
I college men who dealt s to play base
ball during vacation. The lender*
among the students last year on the
team at Meice** opposed the law with
vigor as did the studen^ body. The
move is still on for the repeal of the
law. Opinion as held at Mercer re
garding this measure is expressed In
an editorial printed In last month's
issue of the Mercertan. This is as
fol low’s:
“Southern college athletics should be
relieved of the law pass**! las* year by
the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic
Association against summer baseball.
All Georgia wants this regulation
struck from the list. There are many
teams outside the slate finding It hard
to keep this law and the prope- steps
taken now would result in its nullifica
tion. Mercer believes in clean college
athletics and pliy* as honest baseball
as any Institution in the association
and the strenuous objection to the
ruling of last year does not indicate
that there is the sllghteat danger of
admitting anything contaminating on
our fields. But the requirements
this law are unjust and unfair. The
college athletic associations shut up
the teams and charge spectators to
view the contests, and then refuse th.
college man the 1 berty of playing for
summer employment. Playing base
ball for a salary during a vacation
brings the player as honest money as
that earned by any man at any em
ployment. Give the college man the
right to play when he pleases when
out of college, but keep up the bars
whei» college opens and' allow no man
to play for money on the college team.
This Is clean college athletics and fair
enough.”

being members of tho gang, were ar

BERLIN, Dec. 9.—Herr von Voll-

upon the government In the relohstag.
At the conclusion of a long speech,
sharply arraigning Chancellor von
Buelow for his alleged qver friendly
attitude toward Russia. Herr von
Vollmar took up Emperor Williams’
telegrams referring specifically to the
one sent to President Roosevelt. He
said the Socialists by no means saw
their Ideal in American conditions, Re
publicanism capitalism being no better
than monarchy, “but,” he added, “we
can learn from America free self-gov
ernment in choosing our highest offi
cial nnd In taking hack his commis
sion after a fixed period. The most
loyal German can learn from the ex
change of telegrams that Germnn/s
slavish polltlcni' condition cannot last
forever and that the German people
finally arc marching toward freer con
ditions.”
Chancellor von Buelow In a lengthy
reply Ignored this part of Von Voll-
mnr's speech.
The chancellor defended the govern
ment’s policy toward Russia. He as
serted that It was one of strict neutral
ity corresponding with the traditional
attitude of Germany toward the Rus
sian empire, and regretted that the So
cialists treated Russlnn relations whol

ing trains missed the old clock tlmt
hue ticked sway the hours and min
utes for years from Its position upon
ope of the mnson-wnrk pillars that
support the second story of the depot.
The clock was taken down earlv
Thursday morning and given over to

give the clock an entire overhauling.
It will probably be replaced today.
