 tiolB in Putult

Declaring that 1t is his feeling that high school athletics could be taken care of better by the school authorities than an outside orsani- xation whose rules are not always adaptible to the needs of the school. Principal Louis P. slade of the Senior high school declared today that Senior high school athletices vii be conducted under school rules rather than headmasters' rules in the future.
 In explaining his motive in with drawing from the control of this organization to which all the large high schools in the state belong. the principal said that the Senior high is completely out of touch with the organization and that many of the rules of this organization do not fit well with the schools system of athletic control.
 MT. Slade said the school rules would not differ greatly from those under which headmasters' associa- tions work. He said player will be allowed to play on an outside team If he receives permission from the school principal. Those now obeying this rule will be subjected to the same punishment suffered by those who violated . similar head masters rule last winter when 16 players were barred from the bas- ketball team for taking part in un- authorized outside games. he said.
 The new ruling will go into ef- feet in September.
