ITALY MAY BALK
AT NAVAL PACT
Limitations Attitude Over
Sanctions Said to Give
u. S. Delegates Anxiety.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 20.-A report
circulated today that Italy may re-
fuse to enter the proposed new agree
ment on naval limitations until other
nations stop their sanctions against
Italy.
This report added to the concern of
United States delegates who oppose
maneuvers tending to bring European
political problems before the inter-
national naval conference.
An authoritative source said Ameri-
can conference quarters have begun
to worry as to whether European
movements might cause such an anti
conference feeling to arise in the
United States as to lead to the recall
Of the delegates.
Irksome to Americans.
This source said the conference,
seeking a substitute for the expiring
naval limitations treaties, has become
irksome to the Americans and that
most of the United States delegates
are lust about fed up" with diplo-
matte moves of other powers.
The French delegation, after its un-
successful overtures directly to WASH
ington to overcome American opposi-
ton, was understood to have aban-
doned its demands for smaller battle
ships, but to be concentrating now on
a settlement of the problem of Ger
man participatiOn in the negotiations.
Reported Italian Activity.
Reports reaching the conference
from Rome said Italy, encouraged by
the French moves, was considering
having its delegation raise the Medi-
terranean and other political ques-
tions-perhaps even that of the 1talo-
Ethiopian War.
As far as the Americans could de-

More high school students will
be permitted to play football next
season than ever before, Birch E.
Bayh, head of the health and
physical education department OF
the District public schools dis
closed today in outlining his plans
for the new fall football season.
No longer will the Sub" cool
his toes on the bench all season.
He'll not be known as a Sub"
either but under the more digni-
fled term of reserve player"
Furthermore he will be permitted
to play to football audiences every
Monday-though admission will
be free-and to alternate with
the varsity teams.
Light Weight Teams
Mr.. Bayh, whose ambitious
physical education program for
the fall semester has been in
dorsed by members of the Board
of Education hopes to organize a
lightweight" team of players
boys who because of their size are
unable to make the regular teams.
These lads have been playing
on the sand lots around town on
Saturdays and holidays, often to
their own detriment. Lacking
proper equipment and coaching,
they have suffered more casual
ties than members Of the regular
high school and college teams.
Out of 40 football deaths last
year seven were on college teams,
10 on high school teams and the
rest on sand lot teams, Bayb
said.
All youngsters competing in
football this year must have, not
only their parents permission,
but a doctors certificate. the
health director asserted.
Parents Okay Asked
He explained that the schools
are not lodging responsibility for
injuries, but asking the parents
to share it with them. Under
the law, he pointed out, a boy
injured in football can not hold
the school responsible, but in or.
der to forestall any controversy
the parents permission must be
obtained before the lad will be
allowed to play.
Roosevelt, Mckinley, Central
Eastern and Western high schools
will play four games each this
season, Bayh said, and possibly
eight next year. Woodrow viii"
son, which opened last year, will
not compete owing to lack Of
equipment and place to play.
However, they will compete with
other high school teams in base
ball and basketball.
