The NCAA mandatory sanction for high school out of state all star games prompts a delayed decision by the State Athletic Board on North-South basketball and football events. Coach Paul Walker of Middletown High, an early innovator of the Ohio Kentucky series, awaits word from Indiana and Ohio while AAU interests in Fort Wayne push for sanction, risking the June game.
