D., Dec. 14.—47) Authentic records and information on every man on all Interstate con- ference basketball teams will be available this year if plans of con- ference officials pan out, Cards have been sent to all coached at the dif! ferent schools with information and instructions concerning this new system. This will enable conference cage mentors to ascertai: the lead@ ing scorers at the end of the sea- son. Field goals, gift shots and per- sonal fouls will be recorded in this manner. A vote of the coaches is being tak- en to find out the sentiment for establishing a roand robin schedule for baseball. This year no official champ: was crowned as James- town college and the Mayville Teach- ers were in a tie for first. A move is also cn foot to have one faculty member of each school represented on the board of coaches to arbitrate in case of disputes.
