There is a possibility that rural high
schools in Shawnee county and ad-
jacent territory will form a new bas-
ketban league next season. The pres

student bodies. This season only four

bers of the Shawnee County High
School Athletic association, had county

teams are needed to make an interest
ing pennant race and when a team
clinches the league title, it has won
nothing, the players say. The smaller
schools do not possess representative
teams, as they do not have courts of
ample size to practice on. During
1921 a kaW Valley league was organ
lied and teams representing Meriden,
Rock Creek, OZawkie, Perry, Wash
