Spearheading Drive for ~~ Split’ Meet

Phillips Cool To Proposal Made Last Year By JIM HEYROOK

Indianapolis and Marion County high school principals yester-

day threw their full weight be-| hind a drive to stage two sec-|

tional basketball tournaments in Indianapolis next year. Spearheading the campaign for a “split sectional” here will be a determined five-man committee, which was appointed yesterday by city and county high school heads at a meeting in Manual Training High School. Headed by K. V. Ammerman, principal of Broad Ripple High School, the group will take its request, along with figures favoring the double sectional, to L. V. Phil-

Previous Proposal Forgotten

But convincing the potentate of the state's prep athletic picture will be no little job if Phillips still holds the same opinion of the proposal he held several months ago when a similar drive was made.

During the latter part of last year, a committee of high school
