     When The Votes

        Are Counted
  In the opinion of loyal Boosters
  and fans of the small schools,
  an Injustice has been committed
  by the sprts writer who car-
  ries a vote for selecting the All-
  State Teams.
  They more or less favor their
  hometown boys or larger schools.
  due to  the fact surveillance
  of your smaller teams are crone
  by local fans and press release
  which are sent to the daily papers.
  In the eyes of local fans, we
  know that Wintersville and Jef-
  ferson Union should have spot-
  lighted the All-State Team with
  some of their able and top-
  notched players.
  We extend our sympathy to the
  towns who support and increase
  circulation of the influencial
  newspapers, and yet do not re-
  ceive full recognition in impartial
  voting for their local players.

almost 8,500 students for the

837 finalists were chosen. They
represent 620 schools from 50
states, the District of Columbia,
and    American    Preparatory
Schools Abroad.
