SCHEDULE 'IN AIR'
A possible football schedule
might include two games with
Eastmont, a couple with
Connell, some Mid-VaJley
confernce teams and probably
some other Class A schools in
the area.
"The major problem would
be that it probably wouldn't
be a very tough schedule, and
would hurt us in the long
run," Cruzen said. "We feel
that acceptance into the
Mid-Valley would help our
program considerably and
give us some good, tough
competition. That kind of
competition is needed to build
good teams."
Othello Huskie athletic
schedules for next season
were still "up in the air" here
this week as school officials
awaited official notification on
requests for entry in the
Mid-Valley Conference.
"Although a meeting was
held last week, we still
haven't received official
notification," Othello athletic
director Jess Cruzen reported
Tuesday. "I understand it will
be very close and the
possibility still exists that we
could be accepted."
Both Othello and Eastmont,

AA Leagu~ next season, have Playofl Rights

ference.
Cruzen explained Tuesday
that both Othello and East-
mont have taken the position
that the Mid-Valley must
accept both of them or neither
of them will accept member-
ship.
"We hope to have some
official word by next week so
that we can get on with
schedule planning," Cruzen
said.
