To Announce Sectional Tourney Drawing When Made On February 15

INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Draw ings for Indiana** npijor sports story of the year—the high school basketball tourneys which will cut 741 schools down to one champion —will be held Wednesday, Feb. 15. L. V. Phillips, commissioner of the Indiana high school athletic association which sponsors this annual event, announced a major change in the handling of information about the drawings. For the past 10 years, results Os the drawings for the 64 sectional. 16 regional, four semi-final and final basketball tourneys have been distributed by the IHSAA the day of the drawing for release the neat day. But Phillips said that because of numerous "leaks" of information in advance of the specified release time, the IHSAA board of control voted Feb. 4 to release the results Immediately after the drawings. . ■. Phillips explained: "It just got to be too much of a job to hold over the information for 24 hours. Now there is no tag on it. The information is ready to fly as soon as the schedules are drawn and typed.” . ( The drawings in the offke of the IHSAA on Feb. 15 Will begin at 8 a.m. CDT. Phillips said that immediately after the first schedules are drawn, the office staff will begin typing and checking copies for the press, radio and TV. These copies are to be made available in groups of eight or 10 sectionals at a time, he explained. Phillips estimated that his staff will be able to complete the entire release in three to three and onehalf hours. The commissioner said the change will be a reversal to a plan of releasing news about the drawings which was in effect from 1925 to 1946. International News Service sports editor Allen Dale immediately made plans tor a swift mew senger connection between the IHSAA headquarters in Circle Tower and the INS bureau, also on the Monument Circle, to assure rapid transmission of the avidlyawaited drawings. Some 742 schools are expected to have their names in the pot when the drawings begin. This is 10 less than last year, due to consolidations and discontinuances. Three schools will be newcomers to this 1956 tournament, however. They are Highland, in Madison county, a consolidated school, and two new Indianapolis schools, Scecina and Harry E. Wood. The sectionals get underway
