The Kentucky Hgh School Athlete Offcal Organ of the Kentucky Hgh School Athletc Assocaton Vol. - No. 2 OCTOBER 938 $. Per Year From the Presdent's Offce RULE T The frst two sentences of Rule of our By-Laws arc confusng to a number of prncpals and coaches who do not recall the hstory of ths partcular secton of our rules. These sentences are : " No hgh school ~ tu den t shall ta ke part nter-hg h school a thletcs for more than four years n any one sport. T hese years need not he consecutve." T hese sentences had some meanng before the Assocaton changed the elgblty lmt from ten semesters to eght semesters. "(Jndcr the eght semester rule now n force these two sentences have no meanng. The heart of Rule s found n the sentence: "No student who has been enrolled n hgh school (grades 9.. and 2) eght semesters shall thereafter be elgble." Ths rule permts a student to partcpate n athletcs durng the frst eght semesters of hs enrollment. He s defntely and permanently nelgbl! fo r all sports at the begnnng o f hs nnth semester. The fact that he attended a non-member school or a non-accredted school part of the tme docs not n any way modfy hs nelg blty. RULE V. Approxmately SO boys have been declared l~ elg ble ths semester uncle, the provsons of Rule V of the By-Laws. To be elgble under ths r ule, a boy m ust have attended hgh school or g raded school at least three school months last sprng and must have receved credt n at least thr(;e full-credt hgh school subjects or n three-fourths of hs g ra ded school work. The student must have been pursung work for whch he had not already receved credt. The Board has repeatedly he ld tha t t s wthout authorty to wave the provsons of ths rule. The provsons of the consttuton and by-laws are as bndng on the B oard of Control as they are on the member schools. The Board can not assume the power to change the r ules. RULE V. Fonnerly there was nothng n our rules to keep a graded school boy from changng f rom one school to another wthout loss of elgblty unless undue nflue nce was used to get hm to change schools. However, we have held that under secton of Rule V, as amended last Aprl, a graded school pupl who has represented a secondary school n an nter-school contest may not transfer to another school w thout loss of clg hlty :nlcss there s a correspondng change n the resdence o f hs parents. The fact that a boy does not lve w th hs parents and does not depend upon them for support does not gve hm the prvlege of changng from school to school w thout loss of e lg blty. Ths rulng was g ven -to a n umber of schools early n September, apparently to cove the case of one boy w ho w as tryng to fnd a school where he would be elg ble. The queston of the elgblty of a player who transfers from a school that has dscontnued a sport has been before the Board every year for a number of years. n every nstance, the Board has held that the dscontnuance of a sport docs not n tself gve the players the rght to transfer to another school wthout loss of elgblty. R UL E XV. Ths s the rule whch s most often volated by the prncpals themselves. t s really surprsng that we ha, e so ma ny requests for rulngs on undentfed player:;. The rules requre that the.name of the player whose elgblty s questoned must be gven For many years the presdents of the Assocaton refused to pass on the elg blty of unnamed players or to attempt to answer hypothetcal questons. However, the volume of correspondence n the presden t's o ffce has become so great that the present holder of that offce prefers to a nswer the questons a nd gve the r ulngs rather than to ncrease hs own correspondence whle causng member schools nconvenence a nd delay by refusng to a nswer questons promptly. t s mportant, however, to have on fle the name of every player o n whom a rulng has been ~;,r ven. Requests for rulngs should be n wrtng and the nllngs themselves s hould be gven n wrtng. One can not possbly be expected to remember the detals of the hundreds of cases whch must be decded every year. When the request s n wrtng and the answer :; gven n wrtng there can never be any uncertanty as to the facts presented and the scope of the decson that s gven. A SUGGESTON Possbly the cause of educaton could be advanced by permttng students to transfer wthout loss of elgblty from unaccredted schools and from Kentucky hgh schools that are not members of the State Athletc Assocaton. Of course, t s not possble to permt such transfers wthout loss of elgblty under our present rules when the player tra nsfers wthout a correspondng change n the resdence o f hs pa-cnts or before comple tng the course n the school f om w hch he trans fers.

for OCTOBER, 938 Page Fve A Pont System of Awardng Football Letters By A. W. RADER, Head Coach of Football and Track Hghlands Hgh School, Ft. Thomas, Ky. The problem of awardng letters to football athletes has been a troublesome one ever snce the custom has decn adopted. Ths artcle does not propose to offer a perfect soluton to ths problem, however some of the followng suggestons may be of value. The usual custom of awardng letters on a fxed number of quarters played per season, may kll the hopes and often s the cause of losng good future materal because those who arc not playng regularly realze that as the season progresses they have no oppo tunty to wn the most coveted emblem of ther school. Often the result s ether loss of nterest or quttng the squad. n order to overcome ths undesrable stuaton, we have adop.ted the followng system:. The number of quarters played equals quarter ponts. 2. Each player receves a grade for every game n w hch he plays, equals game ponts. 3. Each player receves servce ponts for hs work durng the week, equals servce ponts. Servce ponts are based upon the ndvduals. Practce atttude 2. Care of equpment 3. Tranng 4. Locker room language and conduct 5. Elgblty:. Game ponts are based upon the followng:. Oustandng play. ALERTNESS~ a) Blockng punts b) Httng passer before he passe~ c) Recoverng fumbles.. AGGRESSVENESSa) Fghtng sprt b) Hard dean tacklng c) Throwng opponents for losses d) Never gve up sprt.. COOPERATONa) Always a hard worker b) vvllngness to work anywhere c) Encouragng teammates d) Modesty and team sprt. The purpose of gradng each game s that the coach s able to pont out to each of hs players how he could have played a better game. Snce the player s nterested n hs record he nvtes the coach's suggestons and wll do hs best to overcome hs faults mentoned by the coach. t s our experence that each player s anxous to wn the maxmum number o f ponts. The record card below wll explan n detal how the system works. A record card for each player s as follows: NAME Poston -o... v V><l)...!l!! <l)+j... c;; "'.~~ "'C:: > ;: c;; -tt: c::.-...- ov~ roo vo &::o v 2 cv = -o (S <S l? P..P..O b l?p.. UJP.. b AJ.BJC Al Bl C to K.f24_.l_l.ll rsr3rtll-3.2 -tl- - - - -j Totals 325 J n addton to the record card we offer the followng suggestons:. n case o f sckness or njury; coach's recommendaton. 2. n case the team has run up a score and players are taken out n order to gve teammates experence the record card can show a full game played by the player taken out. A study of ths system wll show that the premum s placed upon playng n the last games of tle season. tbus the followng results are obtaned.. A player may earn hs quarter ponts early n the season but must contnue to be a squad member of good standng to wn hs servce ponts. 2. t s possble for a player to earn almost enough ponts n the last two games to wn hs letter, because of hs sncere work durng the season he may replace an njured player and make the season a success. vvhen ths system s thoroughly explaned to the squad t meets wth ther hearty approval and stmulates nterest n the entre squad. Thus what was a troublesome problem s converted nto a pleasant and proftable experence to all concerned.

for OCTOBER, 938 Page Seven GUARD PLAY By BERNE SHVE LY, Athletc Drector and L ne Coach, U nversty of Kentucky For the past few years t has been my prylcgc to watch the play of hgh school lnesmen whle actng n the capacty of an offcal. My dscusson wll be based upon my observatons and upon what beleve to be the most practcal me{hods for coaches to employ when teachng hgh school boys the fundamentals of lne play. Of course, every coach wll not ag ee entrely wth the deas here set forth, but there a e usually several dfferent ways of dong any one thng and hence l do not mantan these methods arc the only ones. Suppose we start wth the part the guards play n the success of a team and how they may do ther part. T here was a tme when coaches beleved that the play of the guards was very unmportant to the success of the team. Of course, ths dea was n vogue before the advent of the wde open game whch s the style of play used today. A g reat many fans stll have the same dea that an author of a story expressed n -ths fashon, "An A ll-amercan guard who s lke pre-hstorc oxen, bg and powerful wthout knowng what t s all about." Today, you hear coaches refer to ther guards as the ffth and sxth men n the backfeld when the team s o n offense. n practcally every play, one of the g uards at lcas,t comes out of the lne to block a n end, tackle, or a player n the secondary. \Vhat a rc some of the qualftcatons for a boy who plays such an mportant part n the lne Not so long ago, the large fat boy who was too slow -to play anywhere else was used as a guard. Now a good guard must have most of the qualfcatons of a backfeld man. Of course, sze s desred, but we put speed, blockng ablty, and the desre to play above "avordupos" no w. A good guard must a lso be well coordnated and ntellge nt to succeed a.t all. O ne of the frst thngs to teach n the play of guards s stance. do not beleve n tellng a boy to place hs feet just so far apart n takng hs stance, but to have hs feet n a poston that wll enable hm to move forward, backward, or ether sde equally well and that wll be comfortable. One foot should be slghtly n advance of the other. beleve that we coaches put too much emphass on the "wde base," thereby causng the player to take an uncomfortable stance whch s often straned and unnatural. When drllng boys to take the proper s-tance, always ask them to assume the squat poston before placng the ha nd on the ground, thus dong away wth the shftng of too much weght forward. A g ua d thus off balance wll show hs nt entons whe n he s pullng out of the Jjne and snce hs feet arc too far behnd, hs body s lable to lunge w hen blockng. The forearm s placed across the thgh and the head s up w th eyes straght ahead. The same stance should he taken at all tmes so there wll be no gve away to {he defense. A smart defensve guard can watch the offensve g uard n most hgh school games and tell whether the gua d s pullng out of the lne and n wha t drecton. Thus the stance should be a w ell balanced, comfortable poston, always taken the same way. When blockng n the lne, the two most common faults are closng the eyes on the charges and blockng downward, toward the ground wth the head and shoulders below the pla ne of the hps. The most common block used by offensve lnemen s the shoulder block. On the charge, the method o f executng ths block s to throw the s houlder fo rward and at the same tme move one foot forward to prevent the blocker from fallng on hs face f he msses, or partally msses hs block. Contact s made wth the shoulder formng an extenson outward from the shoulder. The eyes are open and the neck s bowed wth the head up. T he charge s from below upward. By ths mean that contact s made just above the knee and the head and s houlders slde up to the wast. T he feet are kept well spread all the tme so the body weght can be shfted to meet the attack of the defensve man. \Vhcn blockng a player straght n front, a lneman should step wth the foot on the sde where the play s to go a nd then work the feet around so the body s between the ball carrer and the man who s beng blocked. When the blocker has an angle on the defensve man, the foot closest -to the man to be blocked moves frst and the other foot follows closely. f he msses wth hs shoulder on a shoulder block, he should mmedately drop both hands to the g round and push wth the outsde foot and stay on a ll fours bet ween the defensve man and the ball carrer. \Vhen a guard s to run nterference, there s qute a dversty of opnons as to the best method for hs pullng out of the lne. have coached two methods, namely, that of pvotng on the near foot and that of steppng back. have tmed the two wth a stop watch and one method s just as fast as the other. However, do thnk that t s a lttle more nat ural to s tep back. \Vhen steppng back, the guard should pull the foot back about sx nches n the drecton he s gong. T he arm opposte the forward leg s brought back at the same tme. Ann acton s very mportant for speed n any football player but most guards seem to thnk t unmportant. Runnng n place and pullng out n slow moton are two methods for teachng proper a rm acton. The body s bent fo rward M the hps wth the head up and eyes on the defensve man to be blocked. The guard should take hs s econd step slghtly back so that w hen he cuts through the lne he does not make a rght angle turn. As be makes hs turn, the nsde shoulder should be lowered so that he may keep hs bala nce bett.er a nd be n poston to block f he meets the de- (Contnued on Page 2)
Page Eght The KENTUCKY HGH SCHOOL ATHLETE A Survey of Nght Football n the Secondary Schools of Ky. By BARNEY WLSON, Coach, Hall Hgh School, Grays Knob, Kentucky The wrter after havng partcpated n the offcatng of qute a few football games durng the seasons of 936 and 937 began to wonder about the attendance at the hgh school games. t was observed that regardless of the record of the team there was alwavs a good crowd n attendance. T he larger schools ve~y seldom had good crowds n the afternoon. So wth ths n mnd the wrter used ths study as a thess s ubmtted n partal fulf llmerrt of the requrements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Unversty of Kentucky. Durng January, 938, a questonnare was sent to athletc drectors whose schools were members of the state hgh school athletc assocaton, and were partcpants n nter-scholastc football. A malng lst was made up from a lst of member schools released by the secretary of the Kentucky H gh School Athletc Assocaton. Questonnares were sent to a total of 6 schools of ths number sxty-four, or slghtly more tlan fft);~ fve per cent made returns. n order that opnons m;ght not be lmted to those schools whch have lghted fe lds, requests were sent to those schools not havng such facltes, but whch have played nght games. The orgn of the nght football game was the drect result of several needs. Numerous schools throughout the country were faced wth the problems of stmulatng nterest and ncreasng attendance and revenue from football. The nght game became a realty when P rncpal Russel L. Gun of the Westvlle, llnos, Hgh School ntroduced the use of lghts. ln September of the 928 season Westvlle Townshp Hgh School played the frst nght hgh school game n the Unted Sta tes.. Mr. Gun, as prncpal of the school, responsble for athletc fnances of the school, had seen the recepts for the last two years wanng due to busness condtons n the coal mnng ndustry n hs communty. n early August of the 928 season he learned that an nstallaton of floodlghts could be made at a comparatvely low cost. Mr. Gun's "dream" becomng a realty has proved a real boon to many secondary schools. Snce that tme, 928, nght football has rapdly spread throughout the Unted States, and s the answer to small attendance and decreasng revenues. School authortes n Kentucky by 929 and 93 were begnnng to see the advantages n the nocturnal game. However, the cred.t for the frst nght game n Kentucky does not go to a seco.ndary school, but to Transylvana College of Lexngton. The frst nght hgh school football game n Kentucky resulted n a te, Male Hgh of Lousvlle and Georgetown ted at 7-7 before 6 fans. Most of the fans and curous ctzens n the stands agreed the pastme as shown was just a shadow of tself as played at daytme. Accordng to the Courer-Journal, t was hard to tell whether t was the lghts and tall grass or both that caused the kds to fumble pass after pass. They probably just couldn't work up the old fght n ther frst attempt at playng at nght. 2.. "Nght Football.'' T he Coach. October November 937. 2. Ruby, Earl. Courer-Journal. Lousvlle, Kv.. September 28, 93. - Snce that nght n September nght football n Kentucky has grown slowly, but substantally. There are at present date mo c than a score of floodlghted felds n Kentucky. The floodlghted football feld has been the salvaton of many schools, ncreasng the gate recepts n almost every nstance over 5 per cent. n answer to one of the questons on the questonnare, ' \~hat was the nstallaton cost?", twenty-sx admnstrators gave a vared range o f prces. One admnstrator stated that hs nstallaton cost $75, whle the top prce was $8. The low-prced nstallaton was due to the usng of wash tubs for reflectors, and the poles and workmanshp were donated. Of the twenty-sx schools that returned questonnares havng lghtng facltes, the cost of lghts per game ranged from nothng, due 'to a muncpal lghtng plant, to $3. Ths makes the average cost of lghts per game n Kentucky, $8.43. Nght football has passed the fad stage and s now frmly establshed n the hgh schools of ths state. The fact that nght football s no longer a fad s shown by the results of the answers to the queston, "Fll n the blanks gvng the gross recepts for the followng- years." B lanks were provded for both dav and ng ht gam es for the fo llowng years: 933, 934, 935, 936, 937. n every nstance there was an ncrease n the gate recepts for the nght game over the day game. The smallest school to have nght football had an enrollment of nnety. Ths school played on au average of three nght games each year, takng n as gross recepts for the three precedng years, $25, $2, $3, respectvely. The smallest school playng football, and not havng lghtng facltes, had an enrollment of nnetythree. Ths school played a total of twenty-two day games at home over a perod of fve years. The gate recepts for that perod were $575, an average of $22.3 per game. One of the largest schools havng lghtng facltes had an enrollment of 443. Ths nsltuton played seven games snce the nstallaton of ts lghts n 936. The gate recepts for that perod totaled $288.26, an average of $4.6. Ths average does not nclude student passes whch would add $975 for 936 and $2 for 937. Ths would brng the average up to $696.6.
for OCTOBER, 938 The largest school wthout lghtng facltes had an enrollment of 33. Ths school took n $525 for twelve games over a three year perod, an average of $48.75. From the data that was presented n the thess, the followng observatons were made : L Nght football brngs greater crowds and ncreased fnancal returns. Ths ncreased return may be used to help ntramural and mnor sports. 2. The weather s better for games n the evenng n September and most of October. Accordng to clmatologsts, there s less chance for ran or storm between 7 :3 and : than n afternoons of September and October n ths secton. 3. There s less chance of conflctng wth college games. Throughout Kentucky on Frday and Saturday afternoon are numerous college games whch qute a few people wll drve at least a hundred mles to wtness. 4. There does not seem to be so much tme lost by the students at nght games. The people can attend the game, and stll have tme to go to the last pcture show of the evenng. Page Nne 5. Nght football permts many who are unable to attend day games to sec the teams play. Ths makes for better school sprt. 6. Day foolball after the thrd week n October seems to be more practcal. Heavy dews and hangng fogs seem to domnate ths secton startng n the latte r part of October. 7. The lghtng has been found useful for other actvtes of the school. 8. On a properly lghted feld all spectators have better vsblty than at a day game. T hs may be due to several reasons: The area surroundng the bleachers s generally n darkness thereby centerng the attenton on the playng feld whch stands out n ntense lght. Late n the afternoon spectators n the stadum that face west have the sut shnng drectly n ther eyes and naturally are not able to see what s gong on as they could on a properly lghted feld. 9. Take out ran nsurance on the nght games but not on the day games. The loyal spectators wll come out regardless of the weather condtons.

GUARD PLAY (Contnued!rom P age 7) fensve man n the lne of scrmmage. f he s blockng a fullback or a halfback, a shoulder block s used wth a body block as a follow up. One of the worst faults of all lnesmen when blockng downfeld, s that they leave ther feet too soon and fall the ground thus enablng the defensve man to dodge or s tep over the blocker. Downf eld blockng s prmarly a matter of tmng. A defensve man who has not commtted hmself s dffcult to block but a player who s gong n after the ball carrer s not dffcult to block f the tmng s rght. Thus a block should not be s tarted untl the defensve man shows what he ntends to do. frmly beleve that a shoulder block should be used at all tmes where t s possble both n the lne and n downfeld blockng. f t s necessary to use a body block, the most mportant thng to do s to get as close to the defensve man to be blocked as possble so that the hps wll strke hm a t the wast lne and not at the ankles. n most formatons on passes a guard pulls out of the lne to block a tackle or an end. Here agan, a shoulder block s the most effectve except on a runnng pass where a body block can be used. \ here a passer fades back the guard s hould pull back toward the passer and stay toward the nsde, lettng the defensve man show hs ntentons. One fault of any guards s gettng drectly n front of the rushng defensve man thus gvng hm two paths to choose from, but f the guard stays on the nsde, he can "shoulder" the r us her out beyond the passer and stll stay on hs feet. On punts and place kcks, where the g uard s assgned the task of blockng a man drectly n front of hm, a passve block s used. lly passve block, mean that the guard lets the defensve man take the ntatve and does not charge. Where a defensve man s to be held out of the play, beleve he should be made to show hs ntentons. T hen a ll the offensve g uard has to do s stay n front of hm, keepng the head up and the body well braced n a sem-crouched poston. Keepng n mnd the dutes of an offensve guard. we can readly see the mportance of hs assgnments.

THE 938 FOOTBALL RULES CLNCS By RUMSEY TAYLOR, Prnceton, Ky., Drector of the Clncs. When th~ Board of Control found t necessary to employ some one to conduct the Football Clncs they went out to ask coaches and offcals who would be the best man to do ths very mportant work. nqures wthn and also outsde the state revealed the jact that Kentucl.--y had at least one outstandng offcal who wa quajfed "n every war jor the task to be done. Consequently Mr. Rumsey Taylor was contacted and urged to accept the assgnment, whch he dd after due consderaton oj the problems nvolved. That Mr. Taylor wets the man for the task, and that hs work ULs been a huge success macy readly be seen by a readr~g oj the report whch follows.. We want to thank Mr. Taylor jor the splendd servce he has renderecl n the cause of cuhletcs ancl to tulnk all oj the coaches. offcals and others who cooperated to make our frst efforts a success. - THE BoARD ' CoNTROl Some wag rnade the statement that football offcals are a necessarv evl. vvhether or not the last word of that lne s true or not we can't say but so long as there are football games they a c necessary and facng ths fact the State Hgh School Athletc Assocaton, through the Board of Control, took a forward step for the mprovement of Kentucky nterscholastc offcatng ths year. The dea clcked from the begnnng and the fne wa;y that _coaches, offcals, the press and general pubhc recetved t he frst year plans fortell much progress a long ths lne wthn the next few years. Before makng a bref report of our clncs we do want to gve credt and express our apprecaton for t.hc f ne cooperaton and real help of several men. '{he success of these clncs s due to a great CX'tent to ther work. The State Secretary, Ted Sanford, was not only consderate of our personal problems n arrangng the meetngs but by letters and telephone vaved the way for o ur meetngs. \Vth the ad of the ocal charmen all a rrangements for the meetngs had been made before we ever go t to town. vvthout excepton, the local charmen: Erne Chattn, Ashla nd; John Heber, Lexngton; "Blue" Foster, Newport; '"Brad" Jones, Lousvlle M anual ; ]. H. Parker, Lebanon; "Dck" Bacon, Barbourvlle; had all arrangements for a well lghted m eetng room, blackboards, had gven plenty of publcty to the meetnl" and stood ready to back us up on every occason. To these men want to say "THANK YOU" n the bggest way know how. T he total attendance for our clncs was 867 dvded as follows: Offcals, 294 ; Coaches, 6; School Executves, 2; P ress, 7; Players, 7; Fans, 249. Do you notce that fgure of 249 fans? \Vhlc these were not the fellows we were talkng to, prmarly t tells that the state as a whole s reallv nterested n ts hgh school football. And to the offcals t s an omnous sgn that plenty of folks on the sdelnes are gong to know ther football rules. An outstandng fact concernng our clncs was that n every localty offcals. coaches, and school executves expressed themselves as approvng every plan to mprove Kentucky offcatng. The general acceptance of the Board of Control's plan for 938 n such a hg way w ll undoubtedly encourage that body n makng more plans for 939. beleve hcy can go ahead wth the complete assurance of the whole-hearted cooperaton of every o ffc al, coach and school executve n the state. n u clncs we u ed to make all of our dscusson of nformatonal value. Several offcals re ques ted a wrtten examnaton and ths s one of the plans of the Board of Control for 939. The changes n the 938 Scholastc rules were dscussed and then the more debatable rules n the hook were gone nto wth t he dea of securng unform nterpretatons over the whole state. One pon t that was brou~ht up at three meetngs was ''vvhen s a forward pas~?" n other words when a tackler hts a would-be passer when s the ball a fumble and when s t an ncomplete pass. t was generally agreed that t cannot be ruled a forward pass unless the progress of that ball has started forward. Otherwse, f t s dropped t s a fumble. The defensve players have no wav of knowng whether the man s gong to pass or not and plenty of backs are clever n ther fakng to throw a pass to mslead the defense. Regardng "protecton to the passer" t has also been generally agreed that as soon as a passer can change hs poston to move n any other drecton or protect hmself that he can be blocked. A suggeston to coaches here.s to coach your men to block and not tackle that passer after he has thrown the ball for they are lable for defensve holdng. Another pont rased was "vvhat protecton s g ven a kcker on a Quck Kck?" r 'rankly, he has no more t han a ny o ther player on the ball club and offcals over the entre state generally agreed on ths pont. Agan we would call the attenton of the offcals to the new defntons "Loose Ball" and "Free Ball." These defntons affect the r ules n 32 places and we urge your contnued study of them. \V c would lke to encourage offcals n each localty to set asde one nght a week durng the season and meet for a dscusson of the prevous week-end's games and a study of the rules. These lttle group meetngs wll do more to develop good offcals than all the bg clncs n the world. vve need the bg clncs to clear up nterpretatons on dsputed ponts, to kep the offcals n touch wth the State Assocaton, and to keep together the wdely separated conferences of our state, but n these lttle g roup meetngs wth a small number present real work can be done that wll be lastng. One pont, asde from the offcatng, forces ts way nto our presence. t s the queston of what set of football rules we arc gong to follow. Now get ths straght-! have no opnon n ths matter whatever-! am gong to try to use whatever rules you coaches adopt and t s not rny place nor ntenton to suggest to you whl).t set of rules you a dopt, but here are the facts as they exst. T he majorty of the coaches attendng our clncs do not approve of the Scholastc r ules. Ths dssatsfacton has gone so far as to cause several of t hem to schedule games to be played under Collegate rules by mutual agreement. n Northern Kentucky several schools are compelled to play under Oho rules whch are dfferent f rom both Scholastc and Collegate and n Southern Kentucky they come n competton w-th Tennessee teams usng a stll dfferent set of rules n some cases. Our only vew of the matter s that the coaches should adopt some One Set of Rules and Every Team Stck To t. You are not only handcappng your offcals, you a re tearng down the very thng you arc strvng to buld up- Unfonnty. F nally, may we urge the coaches to use whenever possble one or two younger offcals n your ball game. E veryone recognzes that you must have experenced men for your tough g ames but all of you have one or two games on your schedule where you can gve a youngster a b reak-and you may dscover a good offcal. Remember tha t football o ffcals are not made overnght o r by lookng through a rule book- they are developed. And the best place to develop them s out there under fre n the heat of a ball game. And never forget that good offcatng wll make you money at the gate. Agan, want to express my real grattude and a[)precaton for the many courteses and kndnesses shown me durng these clncs. know we have the fnest bunch of coaches anywhere n the country and am m g hty proud to he assocated wth them and wth the school executves of ths state n buldng up Kentucky athletcs.
