Each launch captain has been in

ample and suitable refreshments
Heavy penalties will be inflicted upon
those who fail to comply with these

to follow this order. There will be
music with the meal, for the Anchor

SWEATING" IS BANNED
IN CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS

SACRAMENTO. Calf. August IL
High school principals of California
today received instructions from the
state superintendent of public in
struction that under no circumstances S
should students be permitted to in
terfere with their normal growth in
order to "nake weight in athletic
competition.
"In some instances measures have
been taken merely to prevent a boy
from gaining weight. usually during
the sport season" the superintendent
said. I'm other cases boys have been
sweated and dried out and even
starved in order to take of weight
to az point considerably below the
normal for the individual.
I'm two extreme cases physicians
have asserted that training down
was directly responsible for the death
of two high school boys, who, con-
traoted pneumonia and had not suf-
ficient reserve strength to pull
through
Dr. Herbert Stoltz. supervisor of
physical education. stated that the
original idea of training down was
evolved to give a greater number of
schoolboys a chance to compete in
athletic events.

Cruikshank has had easy sailing
since the opening round. but has shot
par golf. His play. however. has not
been quite as spectacular as Sarazen's
and Gene was regarded as the favor
lite. Experts differed sharply on the
possible outcome of the French
Golden match. Some believed that
any man who can shoot a 50 on the
difficult Oakmont course, as French
did yesterday. is in form to beat any
holes is "A. Golden's supporters
pointed out that all opposition has
seemed alike to the Tuxedo star thus
far and that his fighting qualities are
too well known for comment.
Where Hutchison Stumbled.
The unlucky thirteenth hole and the
dreaded seventeenth proved Hutchi-
zen yesterday. Jock has had trouble
on the latter hole in every round since
the tournament began. The match
was even when they shot for the thir-
teenth and both balls whizzed into
the traps. Jocks was almost buried.
His first slash was fruitless. Gene
had better luck and he holed his
fourth. This put Sarazen in the lead
for the first time, for he had a bad
start in the forenoon and was one
down at the end of the first eighteen.
The fourteenth and fifteenth were
plauded for brilliant work. Genes

players meet anywhere from two
