BOARD BARS OUT
THREE PLAYERS
Northside Men Declared Ineligible
for the Highschool
Play.

The North side-south Side football game SEIZED.
uled for this afternoon has been called off. This
morning the athletic board of North high hello
meeting and decided to call off the game as
protest against what they considered the unfair
action of the board of appeals in barring the
sing boys and lberson on a protest made by
South high.
This decision was communicated to the South
nlgh management. Later In the morning the
North Side board thought better of their de-
eision, and teleDhoned to South Side that they
would play. The South management refused to
accept this offer on the ground that they had
already sent out notice that the game was of.
Ihree men on the North Side team were barred
by the board Of appeals yesterday afternoon
Two more are still under discussion. None OF
the e. other teams lost any men thru protests.
Inc men barred are Frank King, right guard;
Allan King, right half and Ibersen. fulIback.
Protests were also entered against Wilkinson,
Quarterback and Captain Jack Marks, fullbaek,
but action on them has been deferred. The case
| OF Jack Marks has been referred to Professor
w. W. Hobbs of North high and Professor W. +.
Webster OF East high. Action on the Wilkinson
protest has been deferred until word is received
| from Shattuck, his former school.
| The Kings were barred on the ground that
they have played three years on the Redwood
Falls high.school team and one year at North
| high, making the allotted four years. Iberson
was barred for a technical defect in his certin-
! cate. Marks is charged with having played
out his -FOUR years, and it is claimed that
Shattuck |. =
Meeting Was Len gthy.
The meeting yesterday afternoon lasted over
two hours and was marked by some spirited
| discussion. While the principals were inclined
| to be reticent 1t was plainly evident that Pro-
Iessor Hobbs made strong fight to keep his
men In and that the vote stood three to one on
| the question.
The loss Of the King boys and Iberson is a
heavy blow to the blue and white team, and
| Northtown rooters are not inclined to regard the
decision Of the board as fair. They say that the
King boys did not play On regular high-school
| team at Redwood Falls, but were members Of q
mixed team made up Of high-school eighth grade
OF the high school. They say that the difficulty
with lberson's certificate purely technical
ana that ne hes since secured written permission
to play drawn up t9 proper form and signed by
his father, who is hot only willing but anxious
that his son should get into the game. Marks
they say, has been confused with his elder broth
er, who played on the North Side team befor,
Jack entered the school, Wilkinson, they claim
left Shattuck at the orders of his father ant
has his credits for last years work. This state
| ment Is borne out by Wilkinson senior.
49,. Loss Is Heavy.
The loss Of the three already barred is ,
severe blow to the team, and If Marks and vii
kinson are also thrown out the blue and Whit
will be out Of the running. The lineup for to
days game is much in doubt. Wilkinson is on
} with strained shoulder and there has been n,
intention of playing him. Grant has been prac
tieing at quarter all the week and will undoubt
ediy go IN today. Marks will probably 60 in
tho his leg is far from being in condition. H
will not play in the backfeld, but will b
, used In the line, where he will be in less DANCE
Of injury. Allan King was slated for fullbac
IN today's contest, and the place was open til
the kickoff. i-..'. 4: -
I, In spite Of the fact that their team wa
crippled at the eleventh hour the North Slider
hope to win this afternoons game and were ~
in full force to cheer their men on to victory
A large crowd Of South Side rooters went to til
game and the roofing contest in the grandstan
= promised to rival the game on the gridiron.
South Side has been working hard all TIL
4 week and Coach Goldblum expects his team
give their opponents a hard tussle. The gan
i is being played at the North Side field and ws
called at 2:30 O'Clock. The teams lined up
