A new Class A-l tQh school athletic league in Oregon was approved here Friday by the board of governors of the Oregon School Activities association. It would curtail Portland schoolnarticipation in state play-offs Nay about one third. The board also approved an extensive overhaul of the Class A-2 league of high schools. The changes were voted unani mously by the seven-member board of governors and go into effect at the start of the 1958-59 school year. The new A-l league would consist of eight teams and was placed in the District 2-A-l posi tion in the state high school play off setup. The Portland Inter scholastic league would, in theory, send one team to the football quarter-finals, two to the basketball playoffs and one to the baseball quartofinals. District 8-A-l would fiave a quota of two teams instead of three in basketball. Redmond, Prlneville and Bend, a sub-district in 8-A-l basketball, would contend with the 8-A-l runnerup for No. 2 spoQin the basketball playoffs.

This same rule prohibit "throw-in" field goals made sdh as by Bill Rus sell in his days witkthe Univer sity of San Francisco.
