On complaint of the Kentland high school, who resented being defeated by Morocco on the gridiron, the Morocco school has been barred from participation in athletics until j after January The specific charge made to the association by Kentland was that Morocco used “professional” football pliers in the game here October 9, substantiating their claim by evidence showing that certain members of the Morocco team had taken part in a game between the Morocco A. A. team and Co. L. of Kaiikakee>a few days previous. The decision also bars Morocco from playing basket ball until after January 1. I It was a surprise to Morocco peoEle when they learned that Kentland ad filed charges against us. No one denied that some of our boys played in the Kankakee game. They were given permission to do so, we understand, by Prof. Lewis, who thought they could do so and not disqualify themselves .for further play on the high school team. But Kentland has proven themselves poor sports When complaining after J>eing defeated, inasmuch as they knew all about the situation before the game. „ , . Morocco can beat Kentland any time in anything, except possibly a county seat election. —Morocco Courier.
