by this board become more string
ent from year to year. Practically

members of the state association
and governed by its rules. Among
other things the rules provide that

member of the faculty approved by
him, shall be manager of athletic
teams representing the school; that

the association without the consent
of a member of the board of control
of the association; that the Princi-
pal or his accredited representative
shall accompany all teams and
supervise all contests. On eligibil-
ity to take part in high school
athletics the rules provide that, to
