INTERSCOLASTIC LEAGUE—
Three New Rules
For This Year
AUSTIN, July 21—Rules limit-
ing the amount of awards to ath-
letes, raising fees for officiating
in football and increasing the
number of places in the State
Track and Field Meet go into ef-
fect this year in the Texas Inter-
scholastic League.
The 1945 constitution and rules,
just off the press, says no school
will be permitted to issue (and no
pupil permitted to receive) a-
wards for participation in athle-
tic competition in excess of $7.50
per year. The only exception is
that in the last year of a boys’
participation the school may in-
crease the value of the award to
$15.00. Violation of this rule may
be used «*» ground for suspension
of the school.
The rule governing fees for
football officials is an upward
modification of that already in
effect. The scale for games with
total gate receipts up to $1,000
remains the same: $7.50 for less
than $100 receipts, $10 for $100 to
$200 receipts, $15 for $200 to $500
receipts, and $20 for $500 to $1,-
000 receipts. The new regulations
provide graduated increases of
from $25 to $50 for officials in
games having receipts up to $10,-
000
In track and field the point dis-
tribution has been: five points
for first plaec, three for second,
two for third and one for fourth.
Next season this distribution will
prevail in all meets except the
state meet in which the distribu-
tion will be: ten points for first
place, eight points for second, six
for third, four for fourth, two for
fifth and one for sixth, except in
the relays where first place will
