Kus- M't With the passing into history of the Univer sity of Chicago (Stagg) National High School Basketball tournament an athletic landmark disappears. In all of those years of flue tour nament play only two or three boys over cnrpllcdjat Chicago. Which 1k another way of saying that Amos Alonno Stagg conducted thnt tourna ment for altruistic motives namely, to give the boy with a competitive nature a chance to express himself. The various state high school ex ecutive secretaries objected to the Chicago cage tournament on the grounds of commercialism and ab sence from clnsses for too long a period. It Is all right to have the national track meet at the University of Chicago, but Inadvisable to hold the national basketball tournament. The basketball tournament . paid the expenses of the national track meet. Wo hear much of ovcr-omphnsls of college -athletics, but little of the sumo kind of talk regarding the high school phase of sport. The truth of the matter is that there Is more com mercialism manifest In some high schools at present than In collcgen. The state high school athletic as sociations In many states aro now writing for large guarantees from the small colleges, a guarantee much larger than the tournament ordin arily would draw if no high pressure bidding measures were Indulged in. The college then goes downtown to the chamber of commerce and auks the business men to guarantee the sum. In this way through competi tive bidding the state high school association gets the money. "Tex" Rlckard long ago refused to guurantue to the boxers more than they could draw at the gate. If the high schools wore to put on their own tournaments, In their own plants, the running expenses would be borne by the high schools Instead of by the colleges. -Six -60 4 -Door Sedan 6-cyl., U44" Wheelhmo $1040 -'Delivered Ivitfhl-80 4-l)oor Scduii H-ovl., 121' Wlicelbii. $1524 Delivered Eitflit-77 4-Donr Scilim 8-oyl., 116V Wheelbate H165 Delivered liirtht-'X) -i-Duor Sedan H-cyl., 124" Wlnelbaio s1847 'Delivered FULLY liOUII'I'HD NOTHING MOHK TO III.IY GliT It seems the educational viewpoint lr- being lost of by the state high school associations.
