NO JUNIOR LEAGUE
New High Schools Will Have no
Basket Ball Title Series This Year.

There will be no junior high school
basket ball championship tournament
this year, according to Dick Brewer,
director Of junior athletics. due to lack
of ground facilities.
The playing fields have not been
completed in spite of the sact that all
the schools have opened and as a re-
suit only inter-class games have been
played on the somewhat makeshift
basket courts. 1t is believed that by
next year the junior highs will have all
the athletic equipment for a well-bal..
anced tourney in every branch of
school sport.
Mr.. Brewer stated that he did not
believe that he would be able 10 or
ganize a regular baseball circuit this
season and thct intramural contests
would take the place of inter-school
games for the tims being. For the first
two seasons the athletic director con-
templates running an indoor loop after
which he will operate both hard and
soft ball circuit.
