PREP ASSOCIATION TO HOLD MEETING Oregon High School Athletic
Heads Due Thursday
The annual business meeting of
the Oregon High School Athletic
association will be held Thursday
night at the Portland hotel, according to an announcement made yesterday by Secretary J. L. Gary.
The meeting will be preceded by
a banquet at 6:30 at which over a
hundred principals, superintendents and coaches from the various
high schools of the state will be
present, with Superintendent Edward F. Bloom of Heppner, president of the State Athletic association, presiding. A program of short
speeches and musical numbers will
be staged in the banquet hour, and
the business meeting will follow at
7:30 P. M. Each school will be allowed one voting delegate, but may
have as.many representatives present as desired.
Three Issues Up
Chief interest this year centers
in three issues: First, the election
of a new member to the board of
control, to fill the place created by
the retiring of Paul T. Jackson of
Klamath Falls, who is now living in
Portland, where he is federal administrator for Oregon of the national youth movement. The man
to fill this place must come from
the district comprising southern
and central Oregon.
Second, a report, to be submitted
by a committee appointed last
spring, wil recommend the establishment of- an advisory committee
of 16 members selected from the
present 16 basketball districts of
the state. This committee would
handle all legislative work for the
organization—in other words, it
would constitute an athletic senate; it would also elect the members of the board of control.
Much Work Spent
The committee presenting the report has spent several months
working on it They are: Chairman,
E. D. Towler, principal of Astoria
high school; James Burgess, superintendent of schools, Milton, and
E. Avard Whitman, superintendent
of schools, Phoenix.
Third, an amendment to article
V, section 1, dealing with the eligibility of students who enter after
the 11th day of the semester, will
be voted upon. This repeal amendment will be championed by a number of "B" schools, which claim that
it operates against their having a
full squad of basketball players
this semester.
