BOARD OF CONTROL
MAKES RULES STRINGENT
Requirements for Making High
School Monogram Will BE
More Strict.

With the new ruling of mono
gram awarding TO be adopted in
South Bend high, future athletes on
the tan and blue teams will have to
work harder for the coveted let
ters. At the regular meeting of the
board of control the matter of
awarding the monographs was taken
up and a plan will be put into eff
feet soon whereby the team MEM
bers will have to participate in a
greater number of games.
During the past seasons all stu
dents playing in a certain number
of games were given the letters and
with this plan in effect many stu
dents not playing on the regular
teams, but participating in a suffi-
cient number of halves and quar-
tiers during the different games
were given their mOnograms. No
definite rule has been decided upon
by the board but the probable plan
to be put into effect will be to grant
only to the men who
have played in a majority of the
games and have had high scholar
ship record during the season.
Other routine work accomplished
by the board at their meeting in
cluded the authorization of paying
several bills. The board also voted
favorably upon the question of the
eligibility for class officers.

0'SUlLIVAN WENT TOO
FAR SAYS LES DARCY
Fight Between BattIer and Manager
Promises to be Inter-
esting.

There's a 'cullud gemmen" in the
woodpile somewhere in the unhappy
happenings that have married the
serene relations between Les Darcy
and his managerial, +. Timothy
O'Sullivan.
Darcy recently tied the tin badge
on OiSullivan and announced that
henceforth he will sail his own craft
and split the very good coin of the
realm with no one. Both sides
hastily engaged lawyers and in the
meantime the scribes fished for the
facts.
Darcy says that O'Sullivan over
stepped his bounds in signing for a
Gibbons fight in Milwaukee. April
10 He denies that he will meet
Michael in Milwaukee on that date.
O'Sullivan says he Will, and so the
big controversy is on.
1t appears that Darcy has had bad
dreams about this Gibbons person.
He is afraid Mike may put a crimp
i'm his earning power and he does not
intend To meet Mike until he has
met all other eligibles.
Another reason for the parting
with O'Sullivan may be due TO influ-
ence brought TO bear by some of our
we'll known little fight managers.
who would jump at the chance to
grab Darcy. and who have been
camping on his trail ever since he
landed from the oil tanker Cushing.
Whatever the trouble, there's a
crossed trail somewhere, and unless
O'Sullivan can hold Darcy he will
have TO get out and labor for his
daily cakes. BE il known that O'Sul-
Ivan does not intend 10 return to
that dear Australia. For in Australia
he is in decidedly Dutch" with the
authorities for having helped Darcy
out OF the country.
If Darcy has given O'Sullivan a
cold rundown he has pulled off a
trick that will not sit well with good
sports. If O'Sulivan is really to
blame. as Darcy claims, his batting
average in the judgment league
is 900.
