F.

Bridges in 1972. 1 He is retiring after a quarter of a century of quietly building a program that has just as quietly become recognized as among the very best in the United States. IT IS VERY to document all that Foster Bridges has meant to, and for, high school athletics. He has been doing so long, and in such an unspectacular manner, that many of his finest decrees often ground, and enjoy sports more, if they participate in several." One reason he has stressed tennis and golf in the high schools, he says, is that he wants youngsters to have a knowledge of games they can continue after completing their education. But, he says philosophically, efforts to limit practice in one sport to avoid overlapping another produce charges of infringing on individual rights.

Limitations are also hard to enforce. "There are still a lot of people who don't understand you can't have a team, or an institution, if you don't have rules. The only answer to those insisting on their individual rights is that they don't have to participate in our athletic programs," Bridges says. CROWD CONTROL and finances are so closely related they are regarded as a single force working to destroy high school athletics. Philadelphia, for example, recently reduced its games is two-fold.

Fans don't go back, for one, and for another, there is an ever-present danger that school administrators are going to say that this activity is not worth the effort." Society would suffer, Bridges firmly believes, without the high school sports program. The loyalty it engenders, its unifying characteristics, are alone enough to make it worthwhile in the future. THE SECRETARY' always prefaces remarks about his program with "without boasting," and he did it again when he talked about the officiating program devised 20 years ago. 7 "We had a problem at Litton (in 1949) that involved mistreatment of officials," he begins. Litton, eventually, was suspended from participating for a year, and it is worth mentioning that no school that has been suspended has ever again been guilty of such serious misconduct.

"The TSSAA then took the position that officiating decisions would have to be accepted, by fans, players 1 are in effect and working before the affected realize it. That's leadership.

"The progress we've made has come along at such a steady pace it's hard to pick one thing as having been more important than another," he said, a reflective wrinkle in his brow.
