keye Offers Plan I
10 Equa|lIiz!e!''' e Play. |'!
In Cage Journeys

Coach Darwin Keye's proposal
for classifying schools into three
classes for basketball competition
in tournament play was presented
by Mr.. Keye at the recent meeting
of the Board of Directors of the
Ohio High School Basketball
Coaches Association in Columbus.
Coach Keye who is vice presi-
dent of the association represented
Class B Schools at the meeting.
He has been making a study of
the plan for the past year.
The board of directors consists
OF two representatives from each
of the six districts, one from the
class A schools and one from the
class B schools of each district.
The officers are: President, Pau
Walker, Middletown; Vice Presi-
dent, Bill Kaylor, Xenia; Vice
President, Darwin Keye, London;
Secretary Treasurer, Art Wilson,
Fostoria; A. j. Vaccard. Steuben-
vile; Joe Stora, Springfield;
George Williams, Columbus West;
George Robinson, Plain City;
Dwight Lafferty, Warren; Wilbur
Burkey, Smithville; Bob Dickey,
Lancaster; Norm Asworth, juno
ton; Waldo Mathews, Miamis-
burg; Red Ullom, Taylor. Cincin-
natl; Wells German, Bowling
Green; Art Hcnrick, Clyde.
Any problems or changes de-
sired, pertaining to basketball in
the state, should be presented tc
this group first, according to the
London coach. They in turn con-
slider the proposals and make rec
concentrations to the State Board
of Control of the Ohio Higf
School Athletic Association.
The purpose of Keye's propose
one of the several drawn up at thu
meeting, is to provide for more
cqualized competition. He stated
The smaller schools with up tt
100 boys would be in class "B"
the larger "B" schools and small
"A" schools ranging from 100 t.
225 or go boys would be in clas
"a; and the larger "a schools
with over 225 or $50 boys wouls
make up class "AAD.
With the consolidation o
schools reducing the number o
small schools each year and in
crcasing the number of large "B'
and small "A" schools. it appear
that this plan may gain favor will
coaches of all sizes of school
within the next few years"

STALL TO ARGUE

MUNSAN, KOREA, MARCH %
--tAP)--An allied truce negotia-
tor said today the communists
appear to be unnecessarily hold
ing up the armisticc just to
argue.
Col. Don O. Darrow said argu-
mentS ranged from the key issue
of whether Russia should help
supervise a truce down to which
words should identify United Ma
tions forces and Korea.
There were strong indications
staff officers would hand the
Russia Problem back to top level
armistice negotiators.
Darrow said the Reds were
not interested in discussing the
problem among staff officers"
The Reds insist that Russia
serve on a neutral inspection COM
mission which would check troops
and supplies moving into Korea
during truce. The allies say
Russia is wholly unacceptable.
The Russian question and the
problem of how to exchange pri-
soners of war, are the two pri-
mary current obstacles to an
armistice.
Another group of staff officers
met in secret session for the
fourth time Friday in an effort
to break the deadlock whether
prisoners should be allowed to
reject repatriation,
Col. George w. Hickman told
newsmen after the 2ls hour scs-
sion I'VE have reached no con-
cluSive results"
He declined to say wcther the
allies are making headway in
their announced attempt to reach
Il compromise.
Andrew w. Cordier, executive
assistant to u. N secretary
general Trygvc Lie, told newsmcn
in Tokyo there has been slight
Improvement in the armistice
negotiations but there are some
very heavy problems ahead"
Il do not think we can be
optimistic at this stage" he added.
