Thia reversed the di,eision that the same group made la^t year and waa ^belated acknowledgement of the prinei- apla’ haatineaa and ahnoat thuughtleaanesa in making auch a decision in the first place. Now thj"); toumments are back in exiatence, the athletic aiti^ation mnong the high achoola of North Carolina is aaid to be “back to normal” and our boya will htWe the aame types of opportunities j to get the benefits of athletics j as the Negro boy from other atatea. - The decision of the principals to reinstate tournaments wjifc by no means a sudden deciaion. On the contrary, the discusiion which preceeded the deciaion w(nt onfor hours with the most fitry arguments on both aides of the question. One of the most pri posterous proposals that came during thia series of deb^F,e» was that the North Carolina Hig^i schools wquld not even be allow ed to take part in the Nationial tournament which is being held ft Fayetteville this week end. It waa not enough to take away the sectional and atate touma- ments but some of the “jji i e- hurds” didn’t even wfint the N, C boys to reap the benefits for which teams from all over the nation journeyed to North Car- lina. — It’a all eettl«d now, however, and North Qarolina will have spven strong teama in' the Na- ti jnal tournament.

Slateaville had been chosen as Uie team most likely to un throne the team from Gary which hfCJS won the title five timef and it was thought these two would be the ones likely to play in the fjnalf, but the Wednesday nigflit dfiiwing# threw Statesville and Cary together for the opening game. At press time nothing h^d come in concerning the outcome o' thia affair but it should be a highlight of the meet, although is the first gante.
