SALEM HIGH MAKES
NO CLAIM TO STATE
FOOTBALL HONORS
Football Team Signs ResOlu-
tiOn In the Interest Of
Clean Athletics

In the "interests of clean and honor
able athletics the Salem high school
football team makes no claims to the
championship of the Oregon High
School Athletic association and goes on
record with this statement. A resolution
disclaiming all title to the champion
ship was passed by the high school re-
Gently at mass meeting of the stu
dents and signed by all of the members
of the football team and, Coach H. o.
Clancy, and number of the most prom
inent students.
Salem relinquishes all claim to the
championship because of the fact that
Cecil M. Sarff was a member of the
team when he was ineligible though the
fact was unknown to the students or
faculty until the season was nearly
over. Salem won all of her games and
lost the game to Washington high by
single point and the boys may feel
proud Of their records not only as foot
ball players but as real sportsmen.
The resolution follows:
To the Board of Control of the Oregon
High School Athletic Association:
Whereas, 1t has come to light that
during the present football season the
Salem high school has been playing
man who is ineligible according to arti-
Gle six, section one, of the constitution
of the Oregon High School Athletic as
sociation, although the fact Of his in
eligibility was wholly unknown to the
authorities Of the school until after the
game with Albany;
Be it Resolved, By the members of
the Salem high school in a mass meet
ing assembled, that the students of Sa-
lem high school have no claim and do
not claim any right to championship in
the Oregon High School Athletic asso-
citation, all reports to the contrary not
! withstanding.
Be it Further Resolved, That we do
hereby assums the responsibility for the
error committed, and do express our
most sincere regret for the action as
hereintofore stated.
Be it Further Resolved, That we do
hereby agree to abide by the decision
of the board of control, because we be-
lieve it will be in the interests of clean
and honorable athletics.
