Tulsa Public Schools Superintendent W H Younger opposes lowering the Interscholastic League age limit from 20 to 18. He argues the switch would exclude a sizable number of current high school students and reduce league vitality, noting 10 of 33 male graduates and 5 of 30 female graduates would be ineligible. He says existing rules already handle undesired elements without harming eligible students.
