grammar school boys. His inform

involving four teams, could be
staged to assure big attendance.
Football men point out also that
modern high school boys play
brand of game not too far below
the college standard This was en-
phasized throughout the nation
during the past college season
when so many freshmen surprised
the grid world by blossoming into
stars-greenies like Clint Castle
berry of Georgia Tech.
DR.. Aldinger said it was his TN
derstanding that service rulings

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16-CUP)
Eight years ago, Brutus Hamilton,
then University of California track
coach, estimated by mathematics
mans ultimate" limit in each of
the Olympic games schedule of
events.
IN order to be on the safe side,
Hamilton predicted the worlds rec
ords Of 1885 would be surpassed in
al but two events. The exceptions
were Bill Carr's 462 for the 400
meters and Jack Torrance's 81 feet
| inch mark for the i6-lb. shot.
Archie Richardson OF the San
Francisco Olympic club points out
that two of Hamilton's California
stars, Arcie Williams and Grover
klemmer, bettered Carr's time but
that Hamilton still rated Carr at
the top because his record was
termed in around two turns. Will
lisms was timed in 461 and klem-
Eler in 46 flat on q One-turn track.
Hamilton said the One-turn equiv
alent to Carr's tWo-turn time would
be 459.

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-UP)-If

ment or drastic curtailment of COL
lege football this autumn, high
school grid teams may be moved

the college teams formerly COM
peted-places like the Polo Grounds,
Yankee Stadium and Ebbets Field. y"
Dr.. Aldinger emphasized that his
organization always has been OPP
posed to so-called big-time football
in high schools because of the va
rious financial problems involved
in using large stadia and the pos

the young players. He said the
only reason the P.S.A.L. would con-
slider elevation of the prep game
now was its probable beneficial ef-

ed DR.. Aldinger that the public un-
