•athletic rules and Regulations
FOR HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE TERRIT
ORY OF AIASKA
Following is a list of proposed
Athletic rules and regulations,
which we believe would eliminate
the school slacker by rewarding
scholarship and good conduct,
A copy of these rules is going
forward to other schools for their
endorsement»

DOE!? ATHLETICS PAY?
When boys and girls attend school
meerly for the fun obtained from
playing basket-ball or in order
to become a member of some Athlete
ic team which will enable them
to take a trip to Anchorage, Sowar-'
or Fairbanks, they are forgetting
afew of the essentials- of educa
tion.
First, wo attend school to obtain
an education which will better
enable us to go out and meet the
v/orld on our own}- to become better
self-supporting citizens. It is
all well and good to have athletic
training but fov; men obtain a
.position upon the single roco
mendntion us.a basket ball player.
The omployor sees only the word
PLAYER, and he is not producing
aplay, he does not need a play boy.
But, if some recognized system of
Athletic rules and regulations
could be universally accepted,
where by, members of all Athletic
teams would bo compelled to have
good passing grades in order to
enter the field of Athletics;
then such rccomendation would
mean something. When the young .
man said," I played in our home
team. " it would mean, "I was
so good in my classes, I was
permitted to play basket-ball or
f oot-ball."
Then too, there Is the financial
angle. The price has been care
fully estimated , which it cost
our Government and tax payers to
maintain a child in school, per
year and oven per day. If our
boy or girl is not getting his
moneys worth for the time spent
in school, then our money is
waioted and wo have paid for a
'job hunter'•instead of a self
supporting substanial citizen.
LETS GET TOGETHER AND BOOST
THESE ATHLETIC RULES.
