About The Oregon statesman. (Salem, Or.) 1916-1980 | View Entire Issue (April 1, 1945)
- Distinguished visitoni dept: Leonard B.'Mayfield, vice-president of the Oregon High Schools Activities Association board of control, he latter the 5-man body which makes the OHSAA wheels go iround, a surprise visitor last week. And although the Coos Bay principal's stop over was strictly of a personal nature and in no way connected offi cially with the board's outlook on such as Oregon state basketball tournaments, he nonetheless left an impression! or two which should be of interest to villagers concern ed' over the future of the hoop classics. . Remember, however, Mayfield speaks from a personal standpoint and not for the OHSAA boardbdard. Might be mentioned that he has a rather hefty vote on same board, though. One topic kicked around was of course the woeful inadequacies en countered during the 26th classic just past and the follow-up ques tion: "What d'ya think'll happen next, year?" To which Mr. May field, a pro - competitive athletics man if ever we've talked with one connected with prep schools, an swered: "Well probably not make a decision until we see what hap pens in Salem. I've been reading of your efforts here to have the tnnmament moved to the fair grounds and it sounds logical. Personally, I believe the tourney would be kept right here in Salem if more suitable arrangements could be made for room. No question but what something should be done, al though we were perfectly satisfied that the last tourney was handled maryelously by Willamette and Les Sparks considering all the diffi culties encountered." There was talk of moving it to Eugene and Corvallis, alternately, and to Portland when the Rose City realizes her huge post-war major events auditorium. But the OHSAA official is convinced Salem is the place for the tournament, IF SALEM CAN HANDLE IT. Making en emies of fans denied entrance to the preps' top winter show isn't relish ed by the OHSAA any more than by unduly ridiculed Willamette. OHSAA Has Potticar Plan of It$ Own Speaking of post-war plans, the OHSAA board has one of its own, and a good one, tells Mayfield. The board is already pouring founda tion cement for not only bigger 'n better football, basketball and track championships but also state finals competition in all other prep ' tports swimming, baseball, boxing, wrestling, 6-man football, etc. , Great stuff, wot? Mayfield also informs that the board has the names of the kids nho mutilated the state capital building-while visiting here during the tournament they not only wrote, but carved names on its walls and swiped just about everything; they, could unscrew and cart off and expresses official regret-that the,; vandalism happened. Names ' have been turned over to school principals with instructions to "go the limit" with the guilty ones. - No comment for the public's ear on the Oregon Coaches associa tion proposal that the hoop tourney be returned to its pre-war IS-team filed or the new football districting plan also underwritten by the coaches, but impressive Mr. Mayfield does make it known that he's in the market for a football coach at Coos Bay to replace one Walt Commons. But then Mayfield has lots of company over the state in this department "Prepi Paul Reiling Write a Letter We've written much concerning both our feelings regarding the village school system's junior high school athletic program and those of others who have penned in opinions. Along with many others we feel that, briefly, Salem high will never return to the win groove until the victory seeds are first sown and sprouted on grade school and jun ior high sports fields, and then cultivated with outside competition.' The system seems to be footing the right road back in recent months. Paul Reiling, athletic master at Mt. Angel preparatory school and respected for his whole-hearted support of competitive athletics for grade schoolers as well as high schoolers, has this to say concerning the Salem situation: "I have just finished reading your column in which you comment upon the advisability of the junior high schools of Salem extending their intra-school athletic program to that of inter-school athletic com ; petition. In your article you cited some reasons for your position. I agree with your arguments and would like to go on record as adding a few more reasons you probably did not have space to include. Studentt, School, Community Benefit jntrt is, wimoui aouoi, no acuvimy lu ine scnoiasxic program, or in the extra-curricular program of a school that has the privilege of doing more for the students, the school and the community in which . the school is located, than properly supervised competitive athletics.' Competitive athletics furnish a real incentive for all prospective par ticipants to keep their grades above the danger line. Entertaining visiting teams give the students of the school the opportunity to put into practice those manners and courtesies they learned at home and at school. Team travel broadens the social outlook of the members and helps to advertise the school and the community. Well directed com petitive sports teach boys and girls, both those on the teams and those supporting their teams, a very important lesson: That of being good losers, and, probably something much harder to teach and of greater ultimate value, that of being good winners. We at Mt Angel 'believe that as our teams continue to act as young men should when represent ing their school and community, we will have faith in, encourage and promote competitive athletics.
