DOUGLAS BOY
 GAINS FAME AS
 FOOTBALL PLAYER

DOUGLAS. Nov. 27.-Oscar Grund- Ter. Douglas boy who played football on the Treadwen team for two years, Is earning fame at Seattle, where he is student at the big Broadway high school
 Oscar Grundler was regarded as the mainstay of the Broadway team and there was great depression recently when he was ruled out of the game on account of the circumstance that he neglected to get tho consent of bis parents that he should playa require. ment in the Seattle public schools. So deeply interested was the Broadway faculty that when he was ruled out from the game with the Franklin high school that an attempt was made to secure a temporary guardianship for him so that the guardian could give his consent !n lieu of the desired con sent from his parents.
 Seeks Guardlan's Papers
 A Seattle paper contained the fol- lowing concerning the incident:
 "One of the most unusual incidents in connection with amateur athletics. or. more strictly speaking, high school athletics in thIs city. occurred today when Capt. D. F. Hughes a great pat ron of all sorts of sports, appeared be- fore Judge Mitchell Gillian in super for court this morning. and applied for guardianship papers in the case of Oscar Grundler player on the Broad way high school football team.
 When Grundler appeared for play with his team at left tackle. against Franklin last Saturday. the latter pro- tested him on the grounds that he had no official consent to play either from his parents or his guardians( as the interscholastic regulations require. So he was ruled out.
 "'Pee dee Hughes got busy today. He told the court that Grundlor, who Is 1s years of age. Is attending school here. from Douglas, Alaska, and that he. Hughes, should be appointed the boys guardian until further notice.
 Gloom For Grundler
 Another Seattle paper. speaking of the anxiety of the Broadway people on account of the disqualification of Grundler. in an article concerning the game between Broadway and Queen Anne. said:
 with the date of the championship game between Broadway and Queen Anne High School football elevens rapidly approaching. the difficulty oy- CT the eligibility of Grundler, a valua- ble Broadway lineman. is still nnset- tied. Gloom is lowering over the heads of the Broadway supporters. who believe that the chances of the Pine Street school for the title will be lessened considerably if Grundler is not permitted to play. The young giant is a wonderful defensive player, and his presence on the line would do much to offset the strength added to the Queen Anne line by the appear ance of Thomas in the lineup.
 Although somewhat depressed ov- CT the possibility of Grundler's ab- sence. the Broadway supporters are stil confident that their team will be well in the game Saturday. Coach Elmer E. Henderson refuses to com ment on the game but is working harder than any of his players trying to remedy obvious weaknesses in his team. He roolisoo chat fha Queen Anne team is being drilled for spec iai defense against his style of play and is preparing to develop the ag- gressiyeness of his backfield men toI even greater efficiency than they are showing so far this year.
