Southern Intercollegiate Abolishes One-Year Rule
New Orleans December 10 Delegates at the annual Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association convention voted 15 to 7 to abolish the residence one-year rule for football eligibility among member institutions. The decision, reached after lengthy debate, may trigger resignations and a possible reorganization into an intercollegiate association. Auburn, Vanderbilt and Georgia universities had resigned. Georgia Tech had left earlier. The meeting, led by Clemson’s W. M. Higgs, urged rule relaxations on summer baseball and strict limits on nonmember schools’ athletic contact. The committee’s stance against the University of South Carolina’s recent ineligible players was adopted, with admonition to strengthen athletic standards. Mercer suspended for 1918 season. Mississippi players reinstated to full eligibility after earlier suspensions.
