PAGE C—1' Year Residence Rule Urged for Schools : Grange Again Heeds Hollywood Call HELD TO BE A REAL NEED BY HARDELL, TECH COACH Believes it Would Help Do Away With “Floater” Athlete—Devitt Not to Support Nine—Busi- ness Gridders to Get Letters. public high schools in this (Hap) Hardell, foot ball and A letics after a residence of six weeks ONE-YEAR residence rule for athletics is a real need in the city, in the opinion of Elmer P. track coach at Tech. At present a new student at a school is eligible for competition in ath- or one advisory at the institution. Should an athlete change his residence from one section of the city to another, and therefore his school application of the one-year rule doubtless would work somewhat of a hardship, it is pointed out by Hardell, but he believes that a rule could be evolved that would work few hardships and would effectually check the activities of migratory or “tramp” athletes. Hardell is convinced that boys who are moved to shift to other schools because they cannot get along with a certain coach or in the class room, or for some other reason—in short, boys who are more interested in athletic glory than in their studies—would, should the one-year rule be adopted, be speedily brought to a realization of the fact that the public school is primarily for the student and that the athletic program is important only in so far as it helps the student to obtain the physical development along with the mental training that will fit him for good A one-year residence rule also would, it is contended by the Tech coach, be | a protection to athletes, who are go-| ing through with a course at a school, | in that their chance of getting beat out | for a team by a newcomer of the “fioater” variety from another public high school or prep school would be all but eliminated. Most of the college conferences now have a one-year residence rule, Hardell Ppoints out. It is believed, though, by the Mc- Kinley mentor that even with the six- ‘week residence rule the average athlete in the public high schools today is & better student than he was some years ago, in fact, has to be keener to make the grade on athletic teams these days when the high school boy has to fight it out for his job with a larger num- ber and a more intelligent bunch on the ‘whole than used to be the case. Devitt School will not be represented in base ball the coming season. At least the school will have no official team. Instead lacrosse will be fostered along with Spring foot ball . ‘This is the announcement of J. Leigh- ton (Count) Cornwell, Devitt im- presario. Much interest in lacrosse is reported among the Devitt boys and they are hopeful of doing well in their first season at the old Indian pastime. Wil- llam F. Bullls, former member of the Naval Academy lacrosse twelve, and now a member of the Devitt faculty, ‘will coach the schoolboy stick-wielders. Devitt probably will have a small, but strong track team. Capt. Milton Abramson and Francis.Bernard, sprint- ers; Francis Knott, quarter miler, and Bill Summers, pole vaulter and weight heaver, are performers of proved worth at hand. Robert Bourke, miler, formerly of St. John's College High School, this city, is a pro; new- eomer. ‘Thirteen ‘members of the 1929 Busi- ness High foot ball team were awarded | F7in letters at an assembly at the school y.

BOXERS SCORE BEFORE BIG CROWD Take 5 Out of 7 Bouts With Temple—Gallaudet Quint in Action Tonight. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY is off to a promising start on its boxing campaign, but its 5-to- 2 defeat of Temple University at Brookland was not as decisive as the bout score would indicate. Three of the Cardinals’ victories were scored by the closest margins and in one.of the bouts an overwhelming physical advantage was in favor of C. U. - The spacious gym at Brookland was filled by about 2,000 men and women who enjoyed the meet. N Jack Malevich, versatile Cardinal, defeated Abe Soifer in what was ex- pected to be a feature bout, but Jack's showing was a bit disappointing. Twice he was warned by the referee, Capt. Harvey L. Miller, U. 8. M. C., for rabbit punching and only in an extra round did he clearly out-fight the Templeite. It is said Malevich was hampered by an jnjured thumb. The big fellow's right knee was bandaged—a hangover from foot ball. Johnny De Pasquale showed more class than any other of either team in winning the 115-pound scrap for C. U. from Peter Dalessander. Harry Di Gilacomo, C. U, eked out a decision over Nicholas Mariano in, the hl25-puund class. Both lacked unch. pln the lightweight class Irwin De Mar, Temple, outpointed Jimmy Mec- Guire decisively.
