D., April 11.—()— A net profit of $2.500, largest in the history of the state Class “A” high school basketball tournament, was made in the 1936 meet at Bismarck a month ago, H. O. Saxvik, Bismarck superintendent of schools and tourney manager, reported at a meeting of the state high school league Friday. Expenses also were higher than ever before, Saxvik said, attributing the added cost to the fact this year’s meet was a 12-team affair. The Valley City Class “B” tourna- ment, it was reported, showed a $1,200 deficit. Methods of arousing greater interest in the meet were discussed, Other reports were given by Harry Bridgeford, Fargo football coach, on the rules committee meeting in Chi- cago, and by E. A. Quam of Oakes, pho presented a recommendation from the committee investigating athletics for girls urging that interscholastic basketball be abolished. A questionnaire sent high school coaches in the state, Quam said, re- sulted in a 75-55 vote favoring discon- tinuance of girls’ basketball. No ac- tion was taken on the committee's recommendation.

That is the sum expected to be collected for the fourth game of the serles Saturday night. The Maple Leafs are still the underdogs as far as the cup is concerned.

D., April 11.—(4)— “the boy for the spectator” in state high school bas- ketball play was claimed Saturday by Johnny Mach, Williston basket- ball coach. “I am afraid we have begun in North Dakota to exploit the boy a little too much to furnish a spectacle for the spectators,” he declared. “An example of that,” he said. “was brought out at the past state jclass A basketball tournament in the very improper and unreasonable seating accommodations furnished ! both players and coaches. “The boys entered in the tourney should be granted the best seats in ithe house—after all it is their tour- ney. If that practice were to con- tinue, I for one would very strongly favor abolishing the state tournament. “All the players and coaches at the past state tourney were rushed into the very uppermost seats in one bal- cony and allowed to vision what they 9 could of the games from up there,” he asserted.
