BASKET BALL tits, once played as
~ double headers at Tech, now are
played as single games in Roosevelt
and Tech gyms. The latest program,
however, completely skaters the pres
tige which local schools have enjoyed
in competition with crack college fresh
man clubs and virtually prohibits teams
from competing in basket ball tourna-
ments in the future.
Scholastic athletes, and this does
not include any one over 19 years Of
age effective on September /, will be
prohibited from participating in more
than one sport a season. such as
base ball and track Every athlete
must have the written consent Of his
parents and a certificate from a ply
sician attesting his physical fitness.
A high school foot ball coach now
must whip his squad into shape start
ing no sooner than the opening day Of
school, with four drills a week lasting
not longer than one hour and a half
each. This would seem to pave the
way for injuries, which long have been
avoided in local competition due to the
preseason training. which usually has

WELSH was leading Paul Pollard,

was seeded fourth among the out-of-

Lynch and Shore were to play the

NEW RULESBLAST

Ban on Games With College
Freshmen, Reduction in
Age Limit Hurt.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

)LIMAxING series OF minor
changes over the last two
years, the local Board of Edu-
cation has all but killed public
nign school athletics with a series Of
regulations, which, among other things,
prohibits games to be scheduled with
college freshman teams and reduces
the age limit of schoolboy athletes
from 81 to l9 years.
The gradual disintegration of in
terhigh sports, predicted in these COL
umns many months ago, started with
the so-called riot between Tech and
Western foot ball teams two years ago
at Central Stadium, which actually
was a fist fight-and nothing more
between a few members of each team.
Since the time Birch E. Bayh was
imported from Indiana to assume con-
troll of scholastic sports following that
incident, foot ball games, formerly
played at Central, now are contested
in every public high school stadium.
Base ball games have been shifted
from Eastern Stadium in the same
manner.
