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.

Varnell was the referee.
First in line at the opening
December 19 of the public sale
of tickets at the Rose Bowl for
the Southern California-Tennessee
football game New Year's
day was Dwight L. Short, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur L.
Short of 622 West Second street.
Because he was first in line,
Mr. Short was given a story and
a photograph in the Los Angeles
Times. With a friend, young
Short got to the Rose Bowl box
office at 8:30 p.m. December
18 and remained there until he
got his tickets at 9 a.m. the next
day. To be sure of getting tick
ets, many fans spent the night
at the Rose Bowl. The order
of arrivals was respected so
that those who remained up all
night could cluster in ' small
groups around bonfires instead
of standing in line. Actually,
though, young Short stood in
line for eight solid hours.
Dwight Short was graduated
from Medford high school in
1935, then studied at Oregon
State college and went to Los
Angeles last October to enter
an aeronautical school.
