pects for the present school year
1 tv ived a severe jolt the last of
il nock when the e-. cutive
c niiiiiittoe of 2A-I0 held that
Cai l Hah igh, 6 ft 8 inch Bowie
high junior, was ineligible to
pl.ii basket ball for Bowit high
chixjl.
I'h.e 2A 10 committee mad ' up
I a new ruling m ordi r to declare
the Bowie athlete ineligible
rather tough for a boy who is out
c.lining Ins own livelihood and
: had chosen a school that he want
i i d io attend Carl i
o ii r. too late for him tn trans-
fer to some1 other school and
qualify by attending school a
\ ear in ordei to become eligible
to fday basket ball .
The committei ruled that Carl
is not a bona fide student of
Bowie high school from an ath-
letic standpoint because his en-
rollment card give: his parents'
iddress as "Sheppard Field." At
tin' time Carl transferred to Bo-
wie high school the Bowie auth-
orities and coaches did not know
him: they might have seen him
play with Burkbm nett but .would
not have recognized him if they
< ami; face to face with him. -so
i then was no possible way any-
■ one could be accused of recruit-
i mg Carl tells us that he came to
Howie bet au: e Bowie had a good
basket ball coach and team and
he was interested in playing
I i -k< tball He was unhappy at
Burkburnett where he attended
school 1>efor< coming to Bowie.
It is easy to get-Worked up
over, a ruling that hurts the
I “home team" but m tills ease we
believe the ruling to be very un-
just from every ingle There is no
■vritten rule tn it -ay. a high
■chool boy cannot attend high
a hoo) in a town m which his
parents do not live Carl's mother
at Burkburnett and his lath'
tationed at Sheppard Field.
