ship Game Here Friday;
KOSciuskO VS.. IndianOla

Thousands of high school football
fans have centered their attention on
the game that will be played in Lex

when the Kosciusko Whippets and the
1ndianola Indians, both undefeated
champions in their respective districts,
meet here for the semi-final in the
state tournament of schools for North
Mississippi, according to W. B. Kenna,
of this city, state football manager Of
high schools and executive member of
the Mississippi Literary and Athletic
Association.
The outcome of this game will de-
termine the championship of North Mis-
sissippi and enable the victors to COM

Supt. H. V. Cooper, of Kosciusko, and
Coach Aiken, visited Lexington and in
spected the athletic field of the high
school and pronounced it one of the
best in this part of the state, readily
asserting their choice of Lexington as
the scene of the great high school foot
ball match. w. W. Lockhart, of In
dianola, also agreed to send his grid
sters here to compete With the Whip
pets and the game promises to attract
as much attention any of the college

Thousands of football fans from all

pected to witness the game as both foot
ball champions have not been defeated
this year, and sponsor hundreds of fol-
lowers who will be present to witness
the clash Each team has established
records in high school records, de-
cisively defeating their opponents in all
games.
Kosciusko recently eliminated Louis
vile in decisive manner, while the
Indianola Indians sent the Lafayette
Aggies to defeat by an overwhelming
score. When these two strong teams
meet there is going to be plenty of
action for the fans and the event car
ries great following from both the
delta areas as we'll as the hill section
that will be brought together when the
struggle is staged.
Mr.. Kenna is making arrangements
to handle one of the largest crowds in
assembled in Lexington for an athletic
event, and local committees are at work
attending to all details of the game.
Officials for the game have not been

phase is being worked on and will be
submitted to the respective school lead
ers before final arrangements and an

cision of the officials in playing the
game on their territory, and the city is
making every preparation for the large
crowds that will attend. Invitations to
the game have been sent for hundreds
of miles around, and late reports state

&c" Club, Both speakers asked the
board to reconsider its decision-arrived
at at the last meeting of the board-to
permit the stadium to be used by chill
dren and youths of the neighborhood OF
the school as a playground during the
periods the facilities are not actually
needed by the students of the school,
and then only under supervision OF the
community center department officers.
Mr., King declared that such general
use of the athletic field as that he un-
derstood was proposed by virtue OF the
boards decision would make 1t Vlrtu-
ally impossible to maintain the condl-
ton required by athletes In the track
and playing field. He said that play
ground use of the stadium would inter-
fere with the schools own use OF the
facilities and declared that already
"use Of the stadium by Central students
has been interrupted by outsiders"
DR.. Frank w. Ballou. superintendent
Of schools, who sits with the board at
its regular sessions, challenged sew
eral misrepresentation that apparent
" come from a misunderstanding in
Mr.. Kings remarks. In his appeal,
Mr.. King spoke of the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association as the group to
which the stadium'S gates were thrown
open by the board, and DR.. Ballou ex-
planned that while the association had
made the formal petition for the more
general use of the grounds, it is the
children of the section of the city in
which the school happens to be located
who are the benefactors of the change.
He said that the assertion that already
use of the stadium by Central students
has been interrupted by outsiders" could
not be reconciled with facts since the
boards decision to open the grounds
had not yet gone into effect.
DR.. Ballou said that at present a plan
is being formulated by which the sta

dunn can be policed properly by Com
munity Center authorities. The GROUNDS
will not be open until such a plan is
completed. He promised the Central
alumni directors that If the general
playground use Of the stadium proves
itself in conflict with Centrals own
use Of the facilities, changes will be
made in the rules at once so that Cen
tralites will pe assured of uninterrupted
use Of the property.
DR.. Ballou took occasion to add that
the use of the stadium by nelghbor-
hood children is but one other illustra-
ton of that broader use of our public
school property by the people them
selves" He said the objections to the
policy are similar to the complaints
once voiced against the opening of the
buildings to community activities under
Mr.. Casey cited the danger" to
playing children in the field where
athletic practice was under way, in
Guiding shot-put training, javelin
throwing and other such demonstra-
tons of prowess. DR.. Ballou remind
ed him that no children are to be per-
mitted in the stadium while Central
ties are using the field themselves.
Personnel Changes.

the recommendation of its buildings,
