SCHOOL RULING HITS
TRANSFER ATHLETES

Transferring of athletes from one
school to another Is discouraged by
the board of high school principals
who have revised the athletic code.
An athlete entering a local high
school from another must receive a
full set Of advisory marks in passing
grades before he can compete in a
championship game.
The effect Of this rule will render
an athlete Ineligible to play in inter
| scholastic contests for six weeks
after his entrance from another high
| school, preventing a transferee from
playing foot ball early in the season
Another important feature of the
new ruling demands that an athlete
shall not be given a special oppor-
tunity to pass a mark in which he
had failed. He must wait until his
next advisory marks are announced,
a period of six weeks.
Principals of the high schools are
held responsible for the enforcement
OF this ruling.
The following acts disqualify an
athlete from competing in any con-

1t is scarcely probable that such a
series could be arranged at this time.
with the close of the collegiate year
SO imminent, but 1t undoubtedly
would settle moot question as to
which aggregation was the real in
tercollegiate champion and benefit the
amateur game in general.
Nothing has happened recently
which has done the golfing duffer
more good and given him a more
chocry smile than reading Of the
eight strokes that Walter Hagen took
on the seventh hole of one of his
qualifying rouncs at Troon and the
similar number which Gene Sarazen
required on the second hole Of his
seeond.day qualifying round.
NO American wanted to see our
representatives do badly. but the fact
that even the best slip once in a
while was comfort to many q golfer
who needed comfort. SO the holders
Of the British and American open
titles can feel that, no matter how
terrible those efghts looked to them,
they have given some encouragement
to continue to hundreds of fellow
countrymen.
Let the writer once more reiterate
TO those not familiar with the British
courses that when one puts a ball
into the ''whin" or "gorse," as the
rough is called over there, IL is not
possible to go in with a spoon and
get 200 yards with 1t, as many an
American player is accustomed to do
on his home course. Not at all. One
wades In with nilbick and a prayer
and thanks his stars IL he gets the
ball cut anywhere into the fairway
One may judge something of the
dangers Of the "gorse" from the fact
that Hagen, when he found himself
in trouble therein. chose to go back
and play three rather than attempt
the stroke from the rough
