! A. A. and in some I have agreed
with you.
1t would be an excellent idea fol
you to advocate an alteration in the
rule concerning the number OF
/ players in sectional, regional anC
state Journeys. In sectionalS anC
regionals, understand, each team
is allowed to use but eight players
and in the state finals, ten men.
That rule seems to me the utmost
in faIlacy and idiocy. II ten men
are allowed on a team in the state
why not the Sectionals and region
ais A galaxy of reasons could be
advanced for my theory that ten
men should be allowed in all tour
neys.

( players.
(2) The adjustment of the resulting
embarrassment to the ninth and tenth

contests in "clvics" from the stands
after playing an entire season with theil
mates.

for three or four games.
ca lessening of strain during ad-
vance practice sessions for the sectionals
when teammates are striving desperately
to win a place on the squad.
I could rant and rave on forever
and little could be said in favor OF
the present ruling. To my mind
it is one of the most foolhardy sys-
TENS in organized athletics.
HERODOTUS.
AS the board and Mr.. Trester
explain it, the eight-man team
plan in the sectionals is used to
place the smaller schools on a
more even basis with the larger
ones, if that is possible, by les
sening their reserve strength.
Imagine, Herotodus, placing Man
nal ON a par with Tech by taking
away a pair of Tins substitutes.

regional play.
