Debate Over Intercollegiate Baseball Rules In South Conference
The Southern Conference at Athens debated reforms tying intercollegiate baseball to professionalism. Proposed amendments would ban players who received pay or signed with pro teams from intercollegiate play, and limit participation after any professional involvement. A separate rule on freshmen football was defeated amid heavy debate. An allowance for conference funds to cover meals during pre-season training passed 12 to 9, despite objections it could edge toward professionalism.
