11 PAOK TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MED FORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMEER 27, 1939. State Athletic Association Cuts Last Tie With Portland League COMPETITION OF T NINTH TERMERS fT CAUSES DIVORCE f Vols Leave for Rose Bowl No More Pre-Season and Post -Season Games City Barred From Tourney Portland, Dec. 27. (IP) The state high school athletic as sociation severed today the last thin ties of sport relations with the non-member Portland inter scholastic league. The action confirmed earlier boycotts over eligibility differ ences and apparently destroyed immediate hope of reconcilia tion. The dispute developed from the Portland ruling permitting the competition of ninth term ers. The association's decision at yesterday's annual December meeting cancelled the possibility of pre-season and post-season athletic contests between its af filiates and the organized Port land high schools. It also meant the Portland schools would be on the sidelines again for the annual state high school basket ball tournament at Salem. 19 Year Age Limit Nineteen years was also es tablished as the age limit for association athletes. The group grappled with an old basketball controversy, changed its name, gave its bless ing to a new prep league and decided non-coeducational schools need only 75 students for "A" classification. The delegates suggested a special state tournament for "B" schools in basketball and a re duction In the number of "B' schools in the "A" division tour nament from four to one. They failed to reach an agree ment and left the Issue in the hands of the board of control. The organization changed its name to the state high school activities association to remove an obstacle to jurisdiction over such non-athlctic pursuits as lee club and debating. Boys' schools, the delegates decided, could qualify for A status if enrollment reached 79. New Football Circuit The new league formed by representatives of six Oregon and one Washington schools will be known as the Columbia River league. Original membership will be Hood River. Astoria, Hill Military (Portland). Columbia Prep (Portland), The Dalles, Rainier In Oregon, and Camas, Wash. It will be exclusively a football circuit at the outset. The association's board of control announced the draw for the state "case tournament at Salem in mid-March. First round games will be between winners of the following districts: 13 vs 16, 14 vs 13, 3 vs 1, 8 vs 10, 2 vs 11, 9 vs 6, 2 vs 7, 4 vs S. Other action included: Preliminary plans for a state class "A" school football cham pionship. New basis for collection of membership foes to make up a $600 deficit. The base fee will be $5 and one cent per student up to and including 1000. After 1000 students, the scale will Jump to IVi cents. 7 ..... j-fLWr SLA ( I f mir( m I I '"Tii'i I A$J w f JIA'f f "A'r "X v '--mil h v ( 1 f v ft A i 3 - t IN SLEEPER PLAY Western Illinois Quint Wins 42-40 in Last Minute With Surprise Maneuver.
