State High School Athletic Association Formed At Statehouse
Principals from many high schools met in the Statehouse on December 5 to draft a provisional constitution for a State high school athletic association. The group adopted the earlier constitution with minor changes and expects broad participation to decide the secondary championship in track and field. Local schools expect to dominate most events, making entrance to the new association seem unlikely for some in the city. Shortridge and Manual Training school leaders deem championship wins under the State Athletic Association as an empty honor.
