Brown Ruled IHSAA with Iron Control
Funeral services will be held in Des Moines for George Brown former executive secretary of the Iowa High School Athletic Association who died Saturday in Aurora Illinois. Brown controlled the association for 18 years from 1923 as part time then full time until his 1941 ouster amid newspaper and legislative pressure. He helped form the body and kept power by influencing board elections and tournament sites. He faced repeated challenges including 1935 ballot irregularities and 1937 moves to form a rival group. The 1941 crisis came during a Northeast Iowa representative council election and led to his resignation and a $5 000 payout. He was born on a Kansas farm educated at Hamburg Iowa and the University of Chicago and taught in several towns before shaping the association.
