TO REGULATE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS The following is a copy from the University News: We are in receipt of an inter esting letter from Mr. M. E. Brockman, Principle of Green ville City High School, and secre tary of the South Carolina State High School Oratorical and Ath letic Association. Mr. Brock man makes a proposal which the University authorities have had under consideration for some time, and which we hope to see adopted at an early date. This plan is for the University to take over the responsibility for the high school football, bas ket ball. and baseball champion. ships. As it is now, there is no recognized official method of set tling these matters. Each year various undefeated high school teams lay claim to the state high school championship in various branches of athletics. Such a situation arose last spring in re gard to basket ball, and has been repeated time after time in both baseball and football. Last week Florence and Ches ter played on the University grounds for the state high school championship in football. The Greenville High School, however, which has not been defeated this year, and which has an excellent record, feels that it has some claim in this matter. To prevent misunderstanding and disagreement, it seems that the plan to have the sectional championships decided first, and then to have the winnink teams to play on the University ground for the title would be an excel lent thing. We are altogether in accord with Mr. Brockman's proposal, and hope to be able to make a definite announcement concerning it in the near future. In this connection Mr. C. Emile Aimar has written to the Univer sity concerning a plan to stand ardize and regulate high school athletics, by the formation of a high school league, which will have general supervision of foot hall. hasket ball, and baseball, in a way similar to the super vision which the State High School Athletic and Oratorical Association exercises over track athletics and oratorY. In Reply. The following signedI letter has been submitted to the edlitor for publication: To the lReaders of THEii GAME COCK: We wish to thank the would be board of censors who in the last issue of THE GAMECOCK ad mitted that the article in the No vember' Carolinian, entitledl "A Chapel Scene," has its merits fram a literary noint of v,i...

The discussion of the summer baseball question was spirited. The Citadel, Clemson College, Wofford College and the College1 of Charleston were the only op ponents of the measure. A committee to pass on the credits of students, and also a committee on rules was appoint ed. Dr. Thomas Bragg, of Au burn, was re-elected president of the conference and President B. M. Walker, Mississippi Agricult ural and Mechanical College, of S. I. A. A. The next annual con vention will be held in Athens, Ga. We regret, however, that they apparently failed to see that this sketch was written entirely in a spirit of fun, with no intention either for making a campaign for: "Equal Rights for Coeds," or of! slandering our football team. Even tho coeds in the past have been advised to remain away from student body meetings, we. are assured that they have no desire to ccmplain, individually or collectively. And as for the football team, we are surprised that anyone would think the Car (Jinian would publish an article in any way reflecting upon thel clean sportsmen who have repre sented us so well on the gridiron this year' Furthermore, the foot ball star whom these critics seek to defend, assures us that he re alizes the article was written in a humorous vein and that he has no complaint to make. In answer to the charge that this sketch was an unfair attack under an assumed name it is only necessary to state that many of the articles appearing in the Car-: olinian are unsigned. Even the author of this letter of criticism contributed to the same issue of the magazine an unsigned article.
