A one-year residence rule also would
it is contended by the Tech coach, be
a protection to athletes, who are 60
ing through with a course at a school,
in that their chance of getting beat out
for a team by a newcomer of the
''fioater" variety from another public
high school or prep school would be
all but eliminated.
Most of the college conferences now
have one-year residence rule, Hardell
points out.
It is believed, though, by the Nc
Kinley mentor that even with the six
week residence rule the average athlete
in the public high schools today is a
better student than he was some years
ago, in fact, has to be keener to make
the grade on athletic teams these days
when the high school boy has to fight
1t out for his job with larger num-
Der and more intelligent bunch on the
whole than used to be the case.
Dewitt School will not be represented
in base ball the coming season. At

Had Eastern let its so-caIled pony
team finish out the game with Catholic
University Freshmen yesterday in the
Eastern gym the schoolboys might have
won the game instead of losing. 80 to 80.
At least the smaller Eastern boys held
q APPOINT edge over the Freshmen when
they were taken out in favor of the first
stringerS at the end Of the third quar-
ter. Against the huskier Eastern play
ers, however, the Cardinal youngsters
took the lead in the final quarter and
held it.
Whalen and Spinnelli accounted for
"a OF the winners points, while Danny
KeSsler and Kenny Fineran, members OF
the little Eastern team, did most Of the
