Bloch was put out of the Columbia- Commerce game last Tuesday by Ref eree Ralph "Spec" Hurlburt for unnec essary roughness. There Is a ruling in the league that "in case a player is ruled from the game- because of un sportsmanlike conduct he shall be barred from further competition In that sport for the remainder of the season.
