The basket ball league schedule has
been arranged for the Tucumcari

Jan. 14.-Raton at'Tucumcari

Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Ration, Tu-
cumcari, Santa Fe and Santa Rosa are
the towns chosen to form the North
east New Mexico Association and
number of excellent games of basket
ball are expected to be pulled off here
as per schedule.
At first il was expected to only
have five teams in the league but 1t
seems Albuquerque chose this league
and asked to he admitted and We sec
her wish has been granted.
The Clovis game is only to I'll in
n vacant spot in the schedule and this
game will be included in the season
ticket which the High School intends
to sell at nominal price in order to
insure a good crowd and the necessary
cash to pay expenses of bringing the
visitors here for the games.
This will be a good advertisement
for Tucumcari and we expect TO have
league. The tickets will be made so
that they may be given to friend
who enjoys this class of sports and
everybody who can should buy one.
The schedule above includes the
games between the girls too, so this
make twelve games instead of six.
The following message from Albu-
querque to the daily papers will give
the public some information as to what
is being done toward athletics through
out the state:
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Nov .29-School
athletics in New Mexico have been
lifted to a higher plane and establish
ed upon much more satisfactory
basis by the recently perfected High
School athletic association which in
future will exercise general supervis-
ion over all high school athletic con-
tests in the state. The organization
was perfected and officers chosen dur
ing the recent convention of the state
Educational Association here and ev-
cry high school in the state has now
formally consented to membership In
and control by the association. Here
tofore each high school has made its
own athletic rules and regulations
and the result has been confusion, diff
ficulty in making schedules for too'
ball and baseball games and trouble
in governing the annual inter-schol'
astic track and field meet held each
MAY at the University of New Mexico
The University will continue to bt
host and stage manager for the annu
nj field meet, which this years will b'
held the week prior TO the University
commencement. But the state ath
letic association will assume active
supervision of the meeting, and vii
formulate the rules to govern all tn
events. The new arrangement is yer!
satisfactory to the University gov
eminent which heretofore has not on
ly sponsored the annual meeting bu
has been held responsible for more o
less arbitrary rulings to govern TN
various events. With set rule pla'
laid down by the state association
each high school will know eXacti
what conditions its team will nav
to meet at the annual gathering
School athletics generally have as
summed better tone this year than eve
before in New Mexico. The Azte
high school sent team six hundre
miles 90 play the Albuquerque hlg
school, while Roswell High school ais
came here for game. 1t is expect
ed that with the assistance OF IN
state association n schedule Tor mex
season can be arranged which WI
briDg into the contest practically eN
cry high school in the state IN
State University has issued its invlt'
tions for the Spring athletic meetin
and all hut one or two OF the hig
schools have announced that they WI
send teams. All of the high scho'
athletes who enter are entertaihe
during their stay here as guests
the University, and as one and on
third railroad fare is arranged t'
the meeting the expenses OF atten'
ance Is Comparatively small.
While the new association does M
embrace the college grade institution
the improved character OF this SCI
sons foot ball games indicate tn
they too are progressing ana I'M
both cleaner and faster competitie
may bs expected in future
