None Of the other seven
Washington fighters drew bids
to the Eastern team, but this was
certainly no reflection on their
ability.
The return of the Puerto Rican
team to competition: the broad
ening of the Golden Gloves pro-
gram in Miami to include Ha-
vana, Peru and several other
Latin American countries made
the field for the 1856 Eastern
Gloves one Of the toughest in

Wilson, given a major share Of

though the knee still is little

play tonight.
Despite the fact that the

miliar water tomorrow afternoon
and evening when the District
AAU championships are held at
American University.
It's the Hoyas' home pool.
Moreover. their coach is Bob
Frailey, the American University
swimming director.
And Frailey. judged on the
Hoyas' record, is quite a mentor.
But for a split decision that
went against Georgetown for
second place in a 200-yard back
stroke race, the Hoyas would be
moving into the title competition
with an unbeaten record in
seven dual meets.
Victim of the decision, in a
meet at Villanova last Saturday,
was Mike Freeman of Washing
ton, brother of the former Mary
Freeman, famous swimmer. now
the wife of Jack Kelly, the SOUL
ling ace. With a second instead
of a third for Mike, Georgetown
would have deadlocked Villa
nova in points, quite a diStinc-
ton considering Villanova's high
rating in the collegiate SWIM
ming world, and Georgetown's
makeshift status.
"Turned EN- Away"
Previously the Hoyas had de-
cisively dunked Virginia, Gettys-
burg, Howard, William and Mary.

State, all in the victims pools

publicity man, grinned today:

the first time in years that
Georgetown turned 'em away"

his way in.

cooked up a deal with him to
take over the squad, with the
blessing of American University

rector. Dutch Schulze.

the squad, and Ed Zurmuhlen,

WITH THE
HIGH SCHOOLS
BY DICK sLAY

Hardy Pearce has spent 81
years in the District school
system, but he cannot remember
a case before this winter of an
Interhigh team FORGETTING a game
because of an average player,
Then 1t happened twice in two
weeks.
Pearce, director Of athletics
for the District high schools,
and his associates have taken
measures to prevent a recur-
renee. He reports that recon-
mendation has been submitted to
the superintendent of schools
for a new rule to require each
athlete to send birth certificate
Cor proof of age) to his office
before the season.
II feel the recommendation
will be approved" Pearce adds.
IF we had had it in effect this
year the forfeits would not have
occurred"
Apparently Pearce had a
premonition, because he says the
recommendation was made be-
fore Armstrong forfeited its
basketball championship this
week. Also it was being consid-
cred even before Phelps Voca-
tional disclosed its over-age
player two weeks ago.
The current rule for checking
ages of players puts the respon-
sibility squarely on the princi-
pals. Each principal must SUBJ
NIT a list of eligible athletes to
the director of athletics no later
than one week before the start
of each season.
It's not my responsibility un-
til / receive a protest." Pearce
explains. TN the Phelps case,
I received a protest from Cham
berlain: but in the Armstrong
case, Principal william NJ
Buckner called me with the in
formation on his own accord"
While it may be assumed that
the guilty players are differing
pangs of conscience, they are
not the most seriously injured,
1T causes embarrassment to all
of us-it hurts our program, but
it hurts the boys teammates
more than anyone else," Pearce
commented.
In order for a boy to play
Interhigh athletics, he must not
have reached his 10th birthday
before September /. Pearce has
reckoned that limit as being
about six months higher than
the national average. That is
lenient, but apparently the sys-
tenn for enforcing it is outmoded.
