Trouble is brewing in the high

regulation that already has thrown
nine boys out of action because of
their participation in outside COM
petition during the Christmas holi-
days.
Matters threatened to come to a
boil again yesterday when Coach
Dutch Usilaner of Tech admitted
that two dependable players on his
squad were not even dressing for
games because they are being in
vestigated for competing in a YMCA
tournament during the holidays
They are Jackie Sanford and Buddy
Timmons and the coach's hands az
tied in the matter. According to
the letter Of the law, he could lose
game on protest should the pair
go on the hardwood for Tech.
According to one high official in
the physical education department
who refused to allow the use of his
name: This thing may knock high
school basket ball into a cooked hat
il some action isn't taken to clarity
that rule about outside play. Those
nine youngsters aren't the only ones
who played on church and Boys
Club teams during the holidays
They just happen to be the best
players, whose names got in the
papers when they won ball games
At least 20 other boys that I know
