DEAR BLABBY: There is a sign posted in the cafeteria at Columbus school who prohibits playing soccer at the school. Any idea why playing soccer is prohibited at Columbus Elementary School?

DEAR FANATIC:
Supervision at New Rochelle elementary schools during lunchtime recess is provided by monitors. There are no teachers or administrators to organize sports activities. Therefore, soccer at Columbus takes the form of free play. Unfortunately, there have been repeated incidents where students have injured each other playing soccer. As a result, soccer playing has been banned during lunchtime.
