Huntington versus Morgantown for Class A tourney dispute
A Huntington column outlines resistance to moving the Class A state basketball tournament between Morgantown and Huntington. It notes the State Coaches and Principals Associations favor alternating sites, but final decision rests with the State Board of Athletic Appeals led by Bill Fupegitt and aides Bridges, Lowe, and Wiehl. The Principals backed a swap 71 to 62, yet Huntington officials have not formally offered to host.

Weiss credits Yankees' success to scouting and system
George Weiss, Yankees general manager, says the club built success through a premier scouting network and disciplined development in the minors. He notes only two player purchases between 1922 and 1943, with most talent raised internally and few veteran free-agent acquisitions. He stresses defensive acquisitions and the farm system as keys to sustained glory.
