1 SPORTS. * 9. - | Rule Enforcement PRINCIPALS’ EDICT MAY BAR MOST OF ATHLETES Decision to Apply Rigidly Rule 5, Which Prohibits Playing With Outside Teams, Bans All 'Present Students Who Have Violated It. BY JOHN KELLER. OW that the board of high school principals has decided that rule 5 of the code governing scholastic athletics here must be iforced rigidly, it is questionable as to who may be cligible to participate in high schiool sports during the remainder of the year. Rule'S states that no player who has taken part in sports during the schn!a_mc year with teams other than those representing his school shall be el_lmble to compete for his school in the interhigh school championship series of ch sport. Since its adoption in 1919 this rule has been interpreted rather loosely by authorities closely connected with athletics in the in- stitutions, and it would scem that the decision handed down yesterday by the board of principals would bar practically every athlete of note now n the school Heretofore, and coaches, considered th. from outsid faculty advisers gener- | RIoo of Tech aleo are being investi- particularly, have | “'negpite the severe blows suftered ! the boys were barred | by some of the teams, the serles will | vitles only proceed.
