A. L. Trester, State Basket Chief, Promises Definite Details Saturday. A. 1., Treste/, permanent secretary of the Indiana State High' School Athletic ■ Association, today refused to verify as official from his Anderson office the rumor that the next State basketball championship final tournament at the Exposition Bldg., Indiana State fairground, will be a reserved- seat affair. He also refused to say the sixteen regional tournament idea was a definite decision of the board of control. It was reported in Indianapolis late Saturday that Trester, in a meeting with the representatives of the four Indianapolis high schools concerning details of staging the State finals next March, told them it was the wish of the board that the entire 12,000 or more seats at the tournament be reserved. Trester said this subject had been discussed by the board but no decision for publication had been released. He said the board members meet next Saturday at the Claypool Hotel, and a decision might be made then. He spoke likewise regarding the regional idea. At the present time more than 600 teams of the State play in sixtyfour sectionad tournaments, and the winners divided into eight regionals of eight teams each. Two surviv'ng teams from each regional come to the State finals here. Under the new plan, if adopted, with eight additional regionals, only four teams will play in each, but will name a final winner. Sixteen winners will come to the finals, as in the past.
