This will prevent most of the stars OF
the institution from playing and hence
the contests will not only he more even
ly waged. but they will also be more
fruitful i'm regard to bringing forth ma
terial for future Prep elevens. The rule
not only forbids the playing of the reg
ulars. but it also names those who are
considered Ineligible. thus making any
confusion impossible.
Contrary to the first arrangement. the
Prep series will all take place on a week
day, most of them Mondays. The cap
tains of the different elevens are in
structed to form their line-ups without
delay and to hold enough preliminary
practice to insure the games being well
played. 1t is expected that most OF the
leaders will be chosen today, in which
case some Of the teams will probably get
to training tomorrow afternoon.
