National High
School Tourney
Thing0f Past
By "phog" Allen
LAWRENCJE. 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.
