HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
PLAYERS TURN OUT FOR PRACTICE
The football program in the
Palmer High school is underway
"with several boys out for prac
tice each afternoon under the
coaching of Norman Housey. As
sisting Rousey this year is Robert
Chatterton, new basketball and
track coach.
In a letter to parents of foot
ball players, William T. Zahrad
ntioek had this to say: “Football
was started in our school three
years ago for the good of our
boys. The time has come for par
>ents to evaluate the sport for
the safety and welfare of the
boys.
“This year our only opponent,
Anchorage High School, started
practicing twice a day August
15, continuing until September 1,
giving the equivalent of six
weeks’ practice. This long con
ditioning period puts our boys
at a disadvantage. We are in
terested in preventing-lasting in-'
Juries to boys who may play un
der undesirable conditions. The
undesirable conditions are:
“a. The long conditioning peri
od which Anchorage will have,
b. Anchorage’s comparatively
large enrollment—1500 to our
200. c. Possibility of injuries re
sulting from matching smaller
boys against the Anchorage team.
‘Palmer has two alternatives:
a. Drop the game. b. Try to work
out with Anchorage conditions
acceptable to the Palmer parents
and the school.
'"At a meeting of a number of
parents, the superintendent, and
the School Board, the following
was proposed. A. No scheduled
game be played with Anchorage
iprior to September 30 in order
to give Palmer time to get the
boys in condition. B. Try to work
out with Anchorage a limited
number of players they may use
diming any one game. C. Require
ell boys to secure adequate in
surance coverage in case of in
juries. (The school can secure
group insurance which covers
injuries received in football
games and practice for $12.00.
For an additional $1.50 the boy
wall be covered in other sports
and on school premises. Total
• cost $13.50). The boy will bear
‘ihe cost of insurance. D. Have
all parents sign permits for their
boys to play'and practice organ
ized football. E. Have all boys
