Bretz Returns ; To Coach Job At Evansville Evansville. Ind. April •—(l’P> - Thi* hotbed of Indiana basketball today was faced with the prospect of having It* board of education hailed into court over a basket ball dispute. The center of ll.e dispute. Central high hi hool basketball coach (lien Bretz, found himself back in hi* Job two day* after he resign-

ed. A muss ineetli|K of 600 persons in the Central h'gh school gymnasium paused a motion authorizing 10 patents to |*etition in circuit or superior court for the dismissal of the city school board. The board was accused of forcing Bretz's resignation. The motion authorized court action unless the school trustees resigned. Parent • Teachers' Arisocialion president .Mrs. George Kh-mann said that under state law the courts have the authority to discharge school com mies lone n» In cities over 10.000 population, if the commissioners were guilty of "misconduct in office." .Mrs. Klemann charged that the school Itoard had "exceeded its authority" and was "guilty of misconduct" in forcing Bretz's resignation. In another motion, the parents called for a pilgrlmug" to Brett's home, three miles from the gymnasium They followed up with an immediate visit. Bretz, who guided the Central Bears to the final game of the Indiana high school basketball tournament, told them: "I will return to school Monday morning on the condltl n that you people continue with the plan." He referred to the intended court action, Previously, the board of education bad asked him to return after students from three of Evansville's four public high schools struck in his support. Seventeen hundred Central students were on strike yesterday. Sympathy strikes at two other high schools, Bosse sad Reitz, brought the number of striking students to nearly 6,000. Mayor Manson Reichert called the raws meeting after a P.-T. A. delegation visited him yesterday asking that "politics be taken out of the school system.'' They demanded he dismiss the cchool board. Students circulated petitions which demanded that the board. Including Mrs. Theodore Lockyear. be fired. Mrs. IxMkyear had charged that Bretz favored basketball to the detriment of football. Mrs. Lockyear, the mother of the Central footl>all team captain, claimed that Bretz told three members of the basketball team not to play football. Her charges apparently prompted a sugkj.ition hy the board Wednesday that "a change I was needed at Central '* Bretz resigned immediately. He denied the charges, however, and said he was "the victim of a political trick." | - ■ _ . Buy what thou hast no need of. I and o'er long thou sbalt sell thy necessities.—Franklin.
