Of course in those days there was no distinction as is defined today by the teenâ€"age clubs beâ€" tween the younger set and those "fall students" of questionable vintage who suddenly took ill and left school at the close of each rugby season which, of course, necessitated their return the folâ€" lowing year to pieck up French or some other little thing they‘d left behind. The authorities finally stopped that by putting in the "No fathers may play rugby" rule which cerâ€" tainly lowered the standard of the high school senior grid squads but led to a definite improvement in the ‘ORFU.
