H. S. Net Meet
|. H. S. A. A. Names is
CenterS for Sessions
Thursday.

Definite action on proposed
changes in the playing schedule of
the state basketball finals was as
sured today with the announcement
that sectional meetings will be held
in 16 cities April II to discuss the
situation.
Only school principals, official
representatives of members in the
Indiana High School Athletic AS
ISOLATION, will be permitted to at
tend the discussions, Commissioner
Arthur L. Trester announced.
Meetings will be held at Crown
Point, Lafayette, La Porte, Warsaw,
Fl. Wayne, Charlottesville, Kokomc,
Indianapolis, Muncie, Richmond,
Milan, Seymour, Salem, Sullivan,
Boonville and Washington.
Will Discuss Changes
The meetings will climax in
creased agitation against the pres
ent tournament system, by which
two play play three games on
the last day of the finals.
Several Tournament changes have
been suggested, and it is likely that
discussion of these will predomi-
nate the meetings.
Commissioner Trester said that
no definite program has been out
lined for the meetings, however, and
that the principals would be per-
mitted ito talk about whatever they
want to-"
zimmerman in Charge
The belief is growing that many
of the meetings will "hit snag,"
with no further definite leadership
from the I. H. S. A. A.
The local meeting will be in
charge of K. " zimmerman, Broad
Ripple principal and member of the
I. H. S. A. A. board of control, and
H. E. Sanford of Covington. Prin-
cipals from Marion, Hendricks,
Boone, Hamilton, Johnson, Morgan
and Shelby Counties will attend the
session here. Definite sites for all
meetings will be chosen by the prin-
cipals in charge.
