ROGERS AGAINST
BLUE BLANKS
IN SCHOOLS
Athletic Official Would Abol-
ish the System Now in
Vogue

President James Edward Rogers of
the San Francisco subleague yester-
day supported Archie Cloud in his
views on the desirability of doing
away with the blue blanks and pink
blanks of the various leagues Rog-
ers feels that the blanks have out
lived their usefulness and that they
are the means of retarding rather
than encouraging the boys of the
schools to participate in athletics and
games of all kinds for their own
physical benefit
Rogers thinks that the membership
on the school teams should be made
broader and that every boy in a school
should be given the opportunity to
make the teams. Rogers says the
blue blanks prevent this. He states
that the boy who may be slow in his
studies has no chance whatever Of
making the teams under the blue
blank system and adds: This may
be just the boy that athletics would
benefit more than the quicker and
more apt scholar"
Simple statements from the prin-
cipals of the various schools that the
boys named for the various teams are
doing satisfactory work in school Is
what Cloud and Rogers aim for. Both
men are of the opinion that this would
give more boys the benefit of actual
athletic exercises and would also do
away with lot of the unnecessary
"feuds" that have been started in the
subleagues.
.I believe" said Rogers. that the
majority of the principals are op-
posed to these blue blanks. The same
reS111fs can ha secured In other wavs
and no principal is going to let any
boy make his studies subservfent to
athletics. There is need for reform In
the A. A. l.. on this blank PROPOSE
tion and 1t should be done immedi-
ateIy,'

ut CAN'T say any more than I
have said" said Willie last
evening, a sad look on his
face. Il am sorry--very sorry,
and I feel even worse to think
that some of them are accusing
me Of quitting. This is the first
time In my life that they ever
said I had cold feet, and this hurts
me more than the loss OF the
money or the honor of winning
the fight
~ HE champion made good ar
gument on that score. We all
remember how he took every
thing that Ad Wolgast had to give
him for l5 rounds, and then came
on in the sixteenth and knocked
the then champion on the broad
of his back. And we can also re-
member how Joe Rivers ham,
mered him for five rounds and
how he laid Joe low six rounds
later.
Ii THESE arguments are
"a highly in favor of the cham
pion. They are based on facts
and 1t Is hard to find an out or
an excuse to sidestep them. But
Ritchie can square himself with
the world by signing up with
Murphy when he has fully recoy-
cred, and he must agree to face
