The 1923 meeting of the larger
schools of the south, members of the
Southern Intercollegiate
Conference,
held at Washington, D. C, Friday and
Saturday of lastt week, resulted in the
adoption of several amendments relative 'o college athletics, most of which
were in regard to freshman athletics,
according to S. A. Boles, athletic director, and Dr. W. D. Funkhouser,
chairman of the athletic council, who
returned to Lexington Monday afternoon.
The first action of the organization
was the dropping of intercollegiate
from its name and the designation of
Southern: Conference as its title. The
membership was- increased to twenty-tw- o
with the admission of Sewanee.
Applications for membership from
several other southern institutions,

which recommended that the number
of schools in the Conference be limitpermanently, and

withdraw, an invitaition be sent to the
institution that the Conference desires

An amendment limiting the number

The meeting of the Students' Friendship Council Tuesday evening, Dec.
11, closed the annual funding drive'
of the Y. M. C. A. total subscription
of $834.50 was reported. The Whites
won by a margin of $224.50, having
