Plea for Strong Middletown Athletics Faces Cutbacks
Elmo Lingrel, retiring Middleton High athletic director, was met with a standing ovation at the Middletown athletic banquet as he urged the school to resist de emphasis of varsity sports. A Curriculum Committee plans to limit junior high football to five games and basketball to ten, a shift proponents say favors intramurals but critics view as harming interscholastic competition and local pride. Lingrel argues a strong interscholastic program alongside intramurals builds teamwork and fitness, urging reexamination of the local plan.
