BOARD AGREES ON LOCAL
CAMPUS FOR PLAY-OFFS
"Collegian" Finds Sports Editors
Favor Central Location
At Penn State
As a culmination to a vigorous
campaign on the part of local athletic
authorities, sports editors of news
papers throughout the State, and the
Cougnms, the Pennsylvania Inter
scholastic Athletic association will
conduct its annual State championship
basketball game in Recreation hall
April 2
Although Neil M Fleming, grad
uate manager of athletics, has as yet
received no official confirmation of
the return of the game to the College,
its original site, Associated Press dis
patches from the offices of the asso
ciation at Harrisburg carry the in
formation that a decision to accede to
the requests for the return of the
game here was reached by the P. I.
A. A. board early this week.
600 Teams Entered
Thousands of visitors and hundreds
of schoolboy athletes will be attracted
to the campus to attend the final
game here. Attendance at the 1931
event, which was held at the Univer
sity of Pittsburgh, was estimated at
between eight and ten thousand
spectators.
The two surviving teams will come
here as the cream of close to 600
schoolboy teams entered in the State
association competition. League lea
ders of these teams will meet in in
ter-league competition to decide dis
trict winners next week, and inter
district games will take place the fol
lowing week. Games between the
semi-finalists of the eastern and west
ern parts of the State will be held
March 30 to determine which two
teams are to meet for the champion
ship in the title gang here.
Fa,ered Penn State
Feeling a widespread desire to have
the game return here the COLLEGIAN
began sounding out opinion among
sports editors of newspapers in var
ious parts of the State in January.
The returns indicated that a two
thirds majority favored Penn State as
the site for the game because of its
central location, its early connection
with the playoffs, and its logical po.'
salon as head of State educational in
stitutions
From the time of their inception in
1919 until 1929, the playoffs were
held heie annually. In 1929, the
Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing asso
ciation tournament conflicted with the
dates for the games rind they were
tinnqferied to the University of Pitts
burgh that year and to the University
of Pennsylvania Palestra in 1930, the
plan being to have them alternate
between East and West
Since the playoffs were held here
m 1928, a change has been made in the
elimination procedure so that only one
game instead of two is held at the
finals.

athletic events between afternoon and

The new policy will be put into ef

attractions, scheduled for the after
noon and evening, respectively. In
