STATE HIGH SCHOOL
OFFICIALS CONYEM
Plans for Basketball Tourney Are
Made at Annual Session; Will
Be Held March 8, 9, 10
The high school athletic associa
tion in the st&ti of Nebraska will
be operating under its new constitu
tion after January 1, 1928, accord
ing to action taken at the annual
meeting in Lincoln, Saturday. This
constitution will be the governing
status in the form in which it was
finished at the meeting in 1926.
The annual state high school bas
ketball tournament will be held as
planned on March 8, 9, and 10, and
all previous rulings stand as far as
eligibility is concerned. There was
ne change made in the dates for
the official season. At a morning
session at the Lincoln hotel the
board of control decided to move the
opening date of the season back to
December 12 instead of December
26 as originally planned.
Season Is Extended
This makes the season extend
from Dec. 12 to Feb. 25 during
which time games may be played
which will count in the reckoning of
eligible teams for the state tourna
ment. In order to be eligible this
season a high school must win fifty
percent of its games.
The 1928 tournament w.Ul be held
the same as last year, but a motion
by G. F. Liebendorfer of Sidney for
change in the 1929 tournament
carried. The motion was that any
team could enter the tournament
that ' wished and if the university
could not provide for this that they
would return to the old district elim
ination plan.
t Herb Cish, director of athletics at
Nebraska explained why they had
made the fifty per cent ruling. He
said that in the wide open tourna
ment, teams which played three or
four outdoor games in the fall and
probably lost them all would reor
ganize for the tournament and coma
to Lincoln not carinjj whether i'it-y
won or lost.
