Background

Under Ohio's first constitution, State Senators were elected to two year terms. [2] Members of the House were elected for each term. Article I, section 2 and 6 of Ohio's first constitution called for an enumeration of white male inhabitants of 21 years age every four years, with the number of representatives and senators for each county apportioned by the legislature based on this census. [3] Article I, section 3 called for elections the second Tuesday in October. [3]

Ohio governor Edward Tiffin had been elected to the United States Senate at the conclusion of the previous General Assembly. Thomas Kirker of Adams County, who had been re-elected Speaker of the Senate, became the acting governor, as dictated by the initial state constitution, [4] and served in this dual capacity the remainder of the General Assembly due to the state's failure to timely elect a successor for Tiffin. The Senate Clerk was Thomas Scott and the Senate Doorkeeper was Edward Sherlock. [1]

Philemon Beecher, of Fairfield County, was elected Speaker of the House, [5] becoming the first person from Fairfield County to do so. The House Clerk was Thomas S. Hinde and the House Doorkeeper was Adam Betz.

Since the OHSAA began basketball competition in 1922–23, many schools have decided to band together in conferences to help scheduling, added competition for titles and bragging rights, and oftentimes help determine seeding for the early rounds of the state tournament. Some conferences had been established for football-playing schools, and as schools added other sports, adopted those under the conference banner once enough schools started playing. Smaller schools often picked up basketball first, adding other sports later, and combined with other in-county schools to form County conferences. Most of these leagues were formed in the 1920s and early 1930s after the tournament was started, which is why quite a few lack a definitive starting date at this point in time.
