2.140.3 A school which has a football game scheduled with a school which is on strike on the Monday preceding the scheduled game shall have the option to cancel the game with the striking school and schedule a game with another school provided it has a pending alternative contract. If this option is exercised, the striking school shall forfeit the scheduled contest and receive a forfeit loss. The non-striking school shall receive a forfeit win and may play the alternate contest, which shall not count as a win or loss for the non-striking school. A school which has a football game scheduled with a school which goes on strike after the Monday preceding the scheduled game shall receive a forfeit if the striking school does not settle its contract by midnight preceding the scheduled game.

76) CHIROPRACTOR
Q. Is a physical examination administered by a chiropractor acceptable for athletic purposes?
A. The athletic physical examination must be administered by a licensed physician. Consistent with the interpretation of the State Board of Education, the Board of Directors interprets a “licensed physician” to be one who is licensed to practice medicine in all its branches. A chiropractor’s physical examination is acceptable only if the chiropractor is
licensed to practice medicine in all its branches. (Constitution 1.420 and By-law 2.150)
77) PHYSICIAN’S ASSISTANT
Q. May a physician’s assistant perform the physical examination the by-laws require? A. Yes. (By-law 2.150)
78) RECORD OF EXAMINATION
Q. Must the form provided by the IHSA be used for physical examinations?
A. No. The IHSA provides a form only as a service. Its use is optional. However, some form of written physical
examination certificate must be used. (By-law 2.150)
