Basketball Tournament.

The NCAA for the first time is conducting its own basketball
tournament this year. This tournament is not to be confused
with any other national tournament inasmuch as only members
of the NCAA are eligible for competition.

The NCAA is divided into eight districts, four east of the
Mississippi River and four west of the river. Districts ONE,
TWO, THREE and FOUR comprise the Eastern section while
Districts FIVE, Six, SEVEN and EIGHT go to make up the
Western sectione

A selection committee has already heen named for each of the
eight districts. This committee, on basis of season record,
will select the outstanding team in its district to play in
the Sectional tournament with the two sectional winners
meeting a week later for the NCAA championshir.

THE EASTERN SECTIONAL WITH TH® OUTSTANDING TEAM IN DISTRICTS
ONE, TWC, THREE AND FOUR WILL BE HELD AT THE PALESTRA IN

20 AND 21 UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF JOHN BUNN OF STANFORD.

The selection of the teams playing in these sectional meets,
of a necessity, must be postponed until late in the regular
playine season. However, most sports writers will be able
within the next week or so to tell pretty well which team
in their respective district is outstanding.
