SAUK CENTRE LOSES HARD
FOUGHT FOOTBALL GAME
10 ST. CLUUD LAST FkiDAY

| The near sporting editor of the ST
Cloud Times is apparently lnort
actuated by the desire to take {
"wallop" at the individuals of an op
posing team than he is in publishing
the facts. This attitude crops out il
his write-up of the st. Cloud,
Sank Centre High School foot bal
game played in the Granite City last
Friday afternoon.
Lloyd Tanner, a member of the
Sank Centre team, has been a severe
thorn III the fiesh of this ST.. Cloud
Sclioe on previous occasions and ne
could not resist the temptation IN tie
Saturday paper to fay Tanner and
incidentally belittle the entire Sank
Centre team.
Coach Schroeder and the psam pSs
turned from st. Cloud speaking in the
highest terms of the treatment &C
corded them by coach Schropps ana
students. The game was hardfought
and Sank Centre literally played tbs
st. Cloud off their feet during the
first three quarters of the game. The
Granite City lads used variation OF
the famous minnesota shift" in the
last quarter with telling effect, win
ming the game by score of 81 to 70.
The cub who is doing the sports &c
che Times will perhaps learn sozae
day that it will pay best to be decent
and honest in covering sport events.
It is hoped that, he will develop suf-
ticiently to give visiting athletes 60
his town a square deal, even though.
he may not personally like one of the
members of the visiting team. In his
story he said something about Tanner
and others on the Sank Centre team
being ineligible because OF having
passed the age limit. If the st. Cloud
coach had not been certain that-every
man on the Sank Centre team was
eligible, it is mortal cinch that he
would have protested each individual.
For the edification of the Times re-
porter the Herald will tip it off to
him that the school board of this city
part in thletics being up in his stud
insists upon every student taking
les and they must meet every other
of high school athletics.
The Herald takes it for granted that
St. Cloud also follows this same
policy. In order that the Times re-
porter may not go off "half-cocked"
on this subject again the Herald is
pleased to publish for his instruction
herewith the ruling recently made by
The state Board of Control of High
School Athletics relative to boys VINO
served in the recent war, as follows:
Regarding the age-limit rule as
applied to boys who enlisted during
;he war, the State Board of Control
has made the following ruling: ANY
Ugh school boy who enlisted in the
army, navy or marines will not be I
from High School athle-
les by reason of age until he has at

erm of enlistment. He will however,
,e required to meet all other eligibil-
ty requirements "
