UNDERLEAGUE BAN
Two Athletes Suspended for
Breaking Rules of SchO-

THREE OTHERS EscAPf

That the Newark High School
Athletic Association intends to deal
severely with athletes who break
rules in the future was evidenced
yesterday at a meeting held IN the
City Hall, when, as a preliminary
warning, two athletes-Sidney Safer
of Central High School, and Charles
schleckser, of South Side High
School-were suspended until No
Vember l. The executive committee
of the Newark High School Athletic
Association found both boys guilty
of what Wayland e. Stearns, princi-
pal of Barringer High School,
claimed was "a technical violation
of rule s." The rule relates to bet
! ting Both Safer and Schleckser
admitted that they had not put up
any money themselves, but that the
manager of the team on which they
played during the summer had
placed the bets.
In all five boys We're summoned
before the board yesterday. Three
of the schoolboy athletes-Harold
Engleberger. of Central High School,
and Charles Halstead and Herbert
Diamond, of Barringer High School
apparently proved that they had not
broken any of the rules.
In being suspended it does not
mean that neither Schleckser nor Sa-
fer will be allowed to play in games
other than those played in the New
ark High School Athletic Associa-
ton. South Side and Central High
