upper classmen will be held to two

in three sports he must convince the
coaches that his class work will not
suffer thereby. nor will he be UNDER

The same rules will be applied in
limiting freshmen to one sport.

Stanley Rule is still one game from

Play Best Ganio
The Rulers certainly had to play
the best basketball that was in them
to carry away the honors from the
p. +. Corbin outfit. BY the strong
offensive work OF the Rulers for
ward combination of Nick Gill and
Wilton Morey and some good moor
work by John kley the team was
able to Guido the best that P. 4 F.
Corbin could offer. Toward the end
Of the game the Rulers took the
lead.
As was the case last week the p.

again led their team. In fact these
two players were the only P. T. F.
Corbin men who scored from the
floor. They scored n Of their teams

ceived was from Ray Hoist and
OBrien who contributed . total OF
three foul goals.
1t was the best game Of the night
and the winner was in doubt until
the last few seconds when it be-
came apparent that the three-poin'
lead held by the Rule Shop was
going to be too much for the Lock-
makers.
The score was tied on six &C.
