SALEM PHYSICAL DIRECTOR

Invitations have been issued by W.
1. Fletcher, director of physical cduca
tion at the Salem High school, to the
various high school principals of the
state to undertake the formation of clo

tions and inouoinir of the schools unn-
graphically. He suggests five groups
or leagues the Willamette, the .South,
the. Columbia, the Eastern, the Interior
and, if possible, the Portland. All the
schools of these various leagues would
meet at stated times for business sess
ions and the election of officers. These
officers would govern the affairs of the

respective leagues but in turn would be
Oreiron Hiirh School Athletic assm-ia
tion. Three factions in each school in
each league would be represented the
principal, me council ana a student
body leader.
Concerning the details of this plan,
Director Fletcher has the following to
say:
"Each league should also havrra com
mittee of protest to decide all protests
and disputes brought before it by mem
bers of its league. All representatives
in each league should meet and discuss
all business, etc., annually. During this
meeting the coaches of the various
schools could convene and arrange a
schedule for the succeeding season. This
schedule to include games of football,
basketball, baseball, track and rcoss
country running. A schedule suitable
to all schools can be drawn up in this
manner and it will eliminate all un
satisfactory correspondence, unbalanced
schedules, etc- The student ulanagers
to be the assistants to the coaches and
shall be members of the team which they
to manage, the same as the captains.
This will serve a two-fold advantage, i.
e., eliminating extra expense to the
school in carrying a man not a player
and will bring into the position of maim
ger, one familiar with the branch of
sport ho is managing. Officials for
games can be selected at the time the
games are scheduled.
Schedules.
"The schedule for regular games to
begin January 5, and continue through
February 16. On February 23, all the
sebools, major and minor, of each lea
gue could play at a centrally located
city in an eliminated tournament. Up
to the time of the tournament some
team will have won the most and lost
tho least games and therefore be leader
in the league. During the tournament,
however, some team other than the
above mentioned leader may become vic
tor. In this way two teams will have
a claim to the league championship.
to gee one undisputed champion, the
second of March is left open. In case
the same team that was league leader
won the tournament, no play-off would
be necessary. On March 9th, all the
league winners could go to a centrally
located city and play in a tournament
for the state championship.
Track.
"April 20th, would be the most logi
cal time to run tho first dual meet.
These could continue through May 18th.
On Slay 25 each school in each league
could send an unlimited number to a
league meet in a central city. The fol
lowing week, May 2f9, all the con
testants that finished first, second and
third in each event in tho various lea
gue meets, colJM-get together in a state
meet. In this way only the best men
from each league would get together,
giving the spectators more for their
money and time weald be saved as well
by the limited number of contestants.
This state meet should be in the hands
of the Oregon High School association.

could be played for the undisputed stale
title. Arrangements might be made
with the. authorities and the promoters
of the O. A. C, Oregon game at Fort
land on that date and have the game for
the High school championship played
as a preliminary, thus adding a double
attraction.
"The sub-division of the Willamette

purpose of L'ivimr the small...' ul.n..ic
competition in their own class and not

They would be in the .same class as the

the leagues mentioned there are more

"When I he schedule is being arrang

"All schools of a "major" division,
