Southeastern Conference Split By Racial Difference Mule Deer Compact Suggested Sacramento -fUPD- A mem ber of the Oregon Legislature Tuesday told California law makers that the only way to save the interstate mule deer was for the two states to enter into a deer compact. "The herd is in very bad condition," said Rep. Edward W. Elder, R-Eugene, a mem ber of the Oregon House Fish and Game Committee. "With just a little bit more hunt ing pressure it could even be wiped out." Elder spoke to the Assem bly fish and game committee. The committee chairman, Assemblywoman Pauline Da vis, D-Portola, noted she had a resolution pending that would provide a study of a possible tri-state deer compact among California, Oregon and Nevada. Elder said the "problem of this depleted deer herd should be studied in depth." He said it was poor practice for one state to adopt one set of reg ulations while the other state had still different rules for the same herd. By DAVID MOFFIT Atlanta - (WD - The South eastern Conference, long rec ognized as one of the power ful athletic groups In the nation, is beset with prob lems these days that could tear it apart. While it is too early for a definite conclusion, it appears the biggest of these wedges may be the introduction cf Negro athletes into this Deep South conference which has held the color line since its formation three decades ago. It is no longer a question of if - but when. The Univer sity of Kentucky has an nounced that it will start awarding athletic scholar ships to Negroes this coming school year. This means that Kentucky probably will have Negroes on its varsity foot ball team in the fall of 1964 - and that's when the part ing of the ways may begin. The conference appears split right down the middle on the racial issue. Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Ten nessee and Vanderbilt, all of wh'ch have Negro students, have Indicated they are will ing to play racially mixed teams on a home-and-home basis. But in the three deepest of the Deep South states - Ala bama, Mississippi and Louisi ana - the other half of the Dixie dozen doesn't appear as ready to accept Kentucky's Studs Play Grants Pass At White City Tonight Ctntril Point - Ctntral Point Cheney Studs, sporting a 4-1 season record, make their "homo" dbut this Tu ning in th Southern division Bowling BLUE MONDAY Northweat Heatlnf Oils won firat place In th roll-off.
