TOC0NDUcT GAMES
/ UNDER new RULES
Local High Schools Likely to
Form Themselves Into an
/. Athletic Conference.
BY H. C. BYRD.

A high school athletic conference
probably wilt>be the result of the re-
cent wrangle in high school athletics.
A movement is on foot whereby it is
proposed to perfect an organization of
the high schools to carry on the usual
series. Of games in foot ball, base ball
and basket ball and the annual track
meet. If plans do not miscarry this
Organization will be on the same foot
ing as the ordinary athletic conference
and be governed BY a constitution in
which all rules and regulations. dele
cation of powers. ETC., will be laid
down in black and white.
1t is held that under the previous
arrangement, under which the scholas-
tic games were carried on, was too
elastic, and that it allowed too many
different interpretations. If the new
scheme goes through-and it is known
that one man has in his possession
a constitution for a conference ready
to present to the superintendent of
schools through the principals-all
schools will be under the same or
ganization and each governed by iden-
teal rules.
From this viewpoint. only good can

high school sports. In fact, one man
who voted to abolish the high school
series told the writer yesterday that
he did not want to see the high school
series done away with and that neith-
er did either of the other three men
who voted with him. He stated that it
was only by taking some such drastic
action that they considered there was
a good chance to rectify certain condi-
tons with which they were not in
agreement.
Yesterday the principals of the
schools decided there should be
a series and have referred the
matter to the athletic advisers for
recommendations as to how the series
should be conducted. There is not
much doubt that the athletic advisers
will place in the hands of the princi-
pals plans for the proposed conferences
organization.
