at least two classes dally or' tholr
equivalent during tho school year.
Note: Tho intent of this rulo is to
"keep tho entire mnnDgcment of
school athletics In tho hands of
school authorities. It does not pre
clude the acceptance of help from
Interested alumni or patrons of the.
school so long as such persons do
not receive any remuneration for
this help and so long as the head
coach is a recognised member of
tho school faculty. In that they
have given over to Mr. C. W. John
tho management and control of their
; athletics, tho board was unanimous
in tnlrlnrr flirt fr11mi,ln-
j '41. That Cambrldgo bo censured for
tho violotlon of tho above rule."
"2. That such violation must ceaso
J Immediately, and th'o management
and control of tholr athletics must
"bo kept whoely within tho high

of control that all bchools of the
Stato Athlotic association must keep
the management of their athletics
whooly within the hands of tho
school authorities.
