City Police Plan War on Ticket
Scalpers at State Net Tourney

blamed the condition on the high
school officials allowing the tickets
to fall into questionable hands in
large lots.
Local high school authorities,
however, state that they have sold
the tickets in small quantities only
and if the persons who planned on
scalping the tickets got hold of large
numbers, they did it by getting sew
eral high school students to buy the
tickets for them Manual, Short
ridge, Washington and Technical all
received 400 or more tickets and as
none of the local teams are engaged
in the final tournament play, Kin
ney anticipates that the reason for
the popular demand of tickets at
all of the local high schools is more
than significant.
Kinney said he had heard that
students who purchased tickets for
the final games were eligible to re-
main out of school on Friday if
they produced a ticket.
He added that he had been in
formed that at each school rec
ord was kept of the seat number Of
each ticket sold and to whom it was
sold, and tickets taken from scalp
ers arrested will be traced back to
their origin.

1880 Western Conference basketball
play that the selection of an all

Those names are Branch Nc

hands of persons whose interest de-

ship, officials of the ]. H. S. A. A.,
who stage the tournament planned
today to overcome the reaction ex-
pected from a muddled distribution
of ducats.
Already tickets for the all impor-
tant series of games that will de-
termine the state champion are be-
ing quoted at top prices, one local
high school student asking SIS for a
$3.50 single day ticket or $40 for the
ducats for both days. Realizing
there probably will be considerable
scalping of tickets in the vicinity

local police planned to arrest VEN

currence took place two years ago
and caused considerable stir, a high
school principal being one Of those
accused of scalping.
