When the police of Louisville and Jefferson County told the Dutchman that this was the best behaved group of youngsters in attendance that they have seen in many years, a great tribute was paid tiie State of Ken- tucky and their parents. Ernie Chattin, AsJiland, who has been in attendance at the Kentucky State Tournament for 45 consecutive years in the capacity of a player, coach and spectator, praised the conduct of the young sports fans as well as that of the crowd in general. In the Dutchman's opinion the officiating at this school boy classic was outstanding and not enough can be said for the efficiency and cour- age of the eight men who blew the whistles a;t the meet.
