The NCCA 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

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 section.

A selection committee has already been named for each of the
eight districts. This committee, onbasis of season record, will
select the outstanding team inits district to play in the Sectional

the NCAA championship.
