Of the pros-i receipts the local school stnKinp: tho tournament Rets 30 percent and the expenses of all of the teams are paid. Should the state is to receive 10 per cent of the gross. Should the receipts run over the amounts deducted, the remainder Is to be per cent to the Illinois State Athletic Association. 40 percent to the participating- schools and 20 per cent to local school.

In the Sterling tournament with the gross receipts amountinp to the local hlph school's 30 percent figures J643.SO. the state as- pociatlon'8 10 per cent is J214.60 and the expenses of the vlsltinir teams is $114.32.

The annual operating expense of the state association is about $12,000, which will Rive them JS.OOO more than enough to run the office.

Then. too. the association has other sources of revenue. With the receipts from the district tourneys in their coffers, the state association will have a balance of close to ITiP.OOO In the treasury. With this status of affairs, it secrnn that another year the state association should cut their percent of the tournament receipts to at least 5 per cent of the gross income, without asking for a percentage of the bonus.
