Chanute School Board Reviews Football Program Reforms
At the January regular meeting the Board of Education of Unified School District 413 heard a football report by Jerry Steele. He cited dismal Chanute seasons and found most schools use flag football in seventh and eighth grades with tackling starting in the ninth. The program was reorganized after 1964 to emphasize safety and delayed tackling, with eighth graders kept out of interscholastic play and weightlifting added in high school.
