Not more than FIVE men should work

The regulation baskets with the

basket shooting practice the coach
should detail each squad of FIVE to

1t appears that the board of edu-
cations recommendation was made
without first consulting the principals
as to the advisability of such a rule,
for several of the principals have
declared they were not questioned
about the matter and were surprised
TO learn through the newspapers of
what the board had done. 1t has
been limited that the recommendation
is the result of propaganda circulated
by an organization indirectly con
but without the pale of school
authority.
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent of
public schools. who last year sug-
gested change in high school ath-
some time inter-high school compe-
tition, said today he doubted If any
of the principals would oppose the
two-major-sports rule. "The new
regulation bears out the same idea
along which the principals are work
ing for 1924 physical and athletic
program" he declared. Il believe
the two-major-sports rule is a good
thing"

aid and was joined a moment
later by Oliver Towles. With

bones and then accompanied her
to Watts Hospital in Durham.
Visitors there found her getting
