Show School Competition Policies Determined Iy Administrators A number of important decisions on school policies were reacheed at a meeting of school administrators I of this district held in St. George I Wednesday. The decisions dealt particularly with the matter of ath-lectic ath-lectic competlton of various types. One question, that of Intcrschool athletic competition by Junior high undents, has been perplexing of-licials of-licials for some time, and such competition com-petition was ruled out at the meeting meet-ing Wednesday. The schools are uiged to conduct extensive intramural intra-mural programs, but interschool -ompetiton will not be allowed. This policy is definitely favored by the tate education department, ul-. ul-. hough there is not too much oppo- ition to participation of ninth ,rade competition. Interschool athletic competition or high school girls was also definitely defin-itely ruled out. Intramurals will be xrmltted by not outside compel l- ioll. An agreement was also reached .in B squad activity In the high chools. There had been some question ques-tion as to whether B squads should be limited to tenth grade boys, or ipened to all boys in the high school. The agreement reached at the St. GeJVge meeting will open his activity to all boys. The question of switching to ele-en-man football In this region was tgaln aired at the meeting, with lefinite progress made toward beginning be-ginning the eleven man game in the larger schools next year. There Is a definite possibility that a five-team league will be organized with Cedar, Dixie, Hurricane, Fillmore and Delta playing the eleven manganic, with Kanab, Ordervllle, Parowan, Beaver Bea-ver and Milford remaining In the six-man league. Hinckley Is undecided unde-cided which league to Join. It is felt that such an arrangement would be a boon to the smaller sch. ol.s as well as the larger ones. Qucstlonaires will be sent to each ihool to determine its position and I wishes in the matter, so that a decision de-cision can be made early enough I to present the question to the state i organization at is January meeing. |
