Superintendent Stanley H. Holmes for his opinion. Mir. Holmes opened his remarks with the statement that the committee was on the wrong track. He said the principal is in charge and is opposed to the move. T think that if you employ people for administrative work. you ought 10 give them a chance to be heard" he said.
 AS a matter Of fact the authori- ties are opposed 10 athletics and one i'll particular has voiced opposition 10 sports at the school" Mr. Butler declared.
 In q short talk which followed bis answer. Committeeman Butler said: 'I don't want anyone to feel I have vsulted over MT Slade's head in bringing this matter up, Last week l consulted Mir. Ames the man who IS doing the work arranging for the game, actually doing the work, and he seemed to consider the plan a feasible one. He asked, however. that I consult Mr. Slade, which I did, His answer was, It is con trary to my judgment Nothing more than that; It Is contrary to his judgment because it might cause confusion. l. wasn't contrary to my Judgment, and that's why it's here loday."
 At this point Mir. King said: q have always been in favor of strict discipline, and I don't believe the mere fact that a man may be the principal Of a school is any reason why he cant be talked to. How ever, I do feel that We should not divorce education from athletics and I am in favor of holding the princi- pal Of the high school responsible lor the conduct of athletic games so there will at no time be any danger hat the educational feature of the game may be lost. l believe ath- letics should be encouraged only i'll harmony with educational pursuits,
 Understand me. I am not opposed 70 the motion and I am in strict sympathy with the object which it seeks to accomplish, that is to pro- vide accommo citations for as many persons as wish to be accommodated at the game. But I do favor putting It through the regular channels"
 Burr Changes Attitude
 Secretary Burr withdrew his sec onding of Mr. Buffers motion, stat ing that he did not know MT. Slade was opposed to the move. He felt that he ought to back the High school principal in the matter.
 Committeeman William H. Day said he was like an innocent by stander, that he had not heard an argument on either side that would influence him. He felt that the com nittee should consult the school principal and that an agreement satisfactory to both parties should be reached. He favored the appoint ment of a committee of two, "one like Mir. Butler who favors the move and one like Mr. Burr who is oppos- ed 10 the plan and have power to meet and act Saturday morning."
 Another plan to have MT. Holmes talk the matter over with Mir. Slade was suggested while another favor ed having Superintendent Holmes and MT. Butler as committee of two decide upon a plan Saturday morning. This was made a motion and was about to be passed when Mrs. Laura r. Mangan, a member of the committee. said she didn't be- i Iieve there should be only one regu- i lar member of the school board on that committee. She felt the super | intendent should be put on as an ex-otficio member and that two reg | ular members of the school board ]. should serve as the committee to make the decision. She amended l the motion to that effect.
 Secretary Burr said: "All right |, then, put the president on the con- l lnittee and this small matter will be l concluded" When the meeting was ! over, Mr. King named Committee | man Day in his place because Mir. |. bay had taken q neutral stand and !. probably would be a deciding vote.
