The matter has| been under consideration by the! state board since that time and the| two boys have been barred from competition pendi 5 the decision. Only one member of the board, Superintendent J. C. Gould of Man- dan, was of the opinion that the boys are eligible to play under the rules. Other members of the state board expressed the view that sus- pension from play is rather a harsh penalty for the violation but szid there is nothing else to do under the circumstances. They agreed that revision of the rule should be con- sidered at the next league meeting. Tighe Is Queried The matter first was brought to the attention of the league officials by Bismarck high school officials in a letter to B. C. Tighe, Fargo, league president. The letter asked inter- pretation of the ’ ag: rule which states that no player “shall have participated in a similar contest during the school year as a member of any other than a high school team.” Hoffman and Benser, it was ex- Plained, while students at the high school and members of the high |school basketball squad, went on a jbarnstorming tour vith five or six boys home from college Juring the Christmas vacation, playing games at New Salem and Glen Ullin. The Glen Ullin game was played on Sun- day and no admission vas charged while that at New Salen was played on Monday and an admission charge was made. The fact that the trip was made by Benser and Hoffman was unknown to any school official, it was pvinted out. Commenting on the case the letter to Tighe said: “There is no desi-e on our part to have you set aside any rule. if it fits our case, and if you decide that the boys in question should not repre- sent our school, they will be declared ineligible immediately upon receipt of your ruling. Hoy ever, it appears to me, knowing the boys «1 Ido and with circumstances of the nature in- dicated in the preceding paragraph, that a governing board would be justified in ruling that these boys, or any boy involved in a similar case, | be warned for his first offense and suspended if he repeats it.” Rule Technically Violat Tigh2 replied as foliows: “An- swering your kini favor of Febru- ary 3rd, may I state that as ‘he rule now stands the young men have a technical violation charged in par- ticipating in the ames that you mention? I suggest that you do not play them until you hear from Mr. White, secretary of the High School League Board. I am writing to Mr. White and sendirg your letter to him in order that he may get your communication as you gave it to me. “It may be that after the board as a whole has had a cha. :e to con- sider the situation, the i regarded eligible but this is entirely speculation on my part. My official opinion is that they are ineligible and should not be played until, as stated above, you get additional in- formation from Mr. Wk'te confirm- ing my opinion or revoking it. This is a good rule and yet it may. be somewhat harsh in its application in the present instance.” Mr. White writes as follows: “I appreciate the fine spirit of sports- manship which led you to write Mr. Tighe with regard to Elmer Benser and Earl Hoffmax and their barn- storming trip. “It is my judgment that the boys clearly broke the rule given in Sec- tion 3 of Article 6, and are not eligible to represent your school.

Thirteen years ago—in 1915— Molla Bjurstedt, newly arrived in America from her native Norway, earned first place among this coun- try’s woman tennis players. Every year since then without ex- ception, first as Miss Bjurstedt and afier 1918 as Mrs, Franklin I. Mal- lory, she held a place among the top ten, ranking first eight times. On her play last season Mrs. Mal- | lory is sure to be ranked again in the first ten when the United ; States Lawn Tennis Association ; meets soon in Chicago.
