Change in makeup of the Little Six League
Ottumwa sports editor Emmett Mowery proposes a new six team league by merging Ottumwa Burlington and Muscatine with Davenport Iowa City and Franklin Cedar Rapids from the Mississippi Valley Conference. Bloomfield Centerville could join to form a six school circuit, leaving Fort Madison Keokuk Fairfield Mt. Pleasant and Washington in the current Little Six. The plan would pit the three larger Little Six schools against stiffer competition, though opposition from Keokuk and Fort Madison is possible.
