Discussion Problems:

(High School Federation and N. C. A. A.)
added to confusion in the interpretation of
the rules?”

“Would it be advisable to limit participation
in high school and college athletics to two
sports?”

“How can sportsmanship at athletic contests
be improved?”

“Are coaches tending to neglect the develop-
ment of their teams by officiating in too
many games?”

“How should non-self-supporting interscholas-
tic sports be financed?”

“Are athletics a part of secondary education
with respect to objectives, methods and fi-
nancial support?”

“To what extent should the number of inter-
scholastic sports be extended?”

“How can a closer correlation be established
between the compulsory physical education
program and the voluntary intramural and
interscholastic athletics?”

“Are state championships for high school
athletics advisable?”

“Should we discontinue all eligibility require-
ments except, possibly, age, physical con-
dition, and physical development?”

“Should we broaden the base of our athletic
program in our high schools by introducing
a large number of sports involving a great
number of boys, or should we continue with
a limited program with a very narrow
base?”
