A last-minute switch his moved the Youngsville-South
Granville and the Vance County-Princeton game up to tonight
at Rocky Mount. Reliable reports say the move was due to
prior committments o( the N. C. Wesleyan College gym on
Thursday night. Youngsville-South Granville plays at 7 P.M.
tonight. The Vance County-Princeton game follows. The
championship game is slated for 7:30 P.M. Wednesday night.
Youngsville defeated the Vikings twice in regular season
games. On December 30, the Phantoms took a 60-40 decision
and on February 4, Youngsville won, 58-48. Princeton is the
three-overtime upset winner over highly favored Meadow.
Tonight's winners will both go to the state tournament
regardless of the outcome of the championship tilt Wednesday
night.
The Louisburg College Hurricanes didn't quite make the
top spot in he Region Ten Tourney, but they were a credit to !
themselves and to their school. From the scoring reports, they
obviously ran into a much better ball club. Gardner-Webb also
had a decided height advantage and this is almost impossible to
overcome in basketball. Wait 'til next year.
Larry Paschall was named to the All Region second team.
Only three Cavalier-Tarheel Conference players made it.
Armchair TV basketball buffs will have things to their
liking the next few days. Already filled with two ACC
tournament semi-final games last Friday and the championship
Saturday following an NCAA first round game between Notre
Dame and Miami of Ohio Saturday afternoon, the happy news
is that there is more to come.
Thursday night at 7 P.M. WTVO-Channel 11, will televise
the second round NCAA game from College Park, Md.
between Davidson and St. John's. At 9 P.M., the Carolina
Tarheels will take on Duquesne, 73-52 winners over St.
Joseph's in the first round.
Saturday, WTVD will televise the NCAA quarterfinals. Two
games beginning at 2 P.M.
Sunday, the opening round game of the National Invitation
Tournament (NIT) will be televised from Madison Square
Garden beginning at 1:30 P.M. on WTVD.
Thursday, March 20, WTVD will show the action in the
NCAA Eastern Championship from Louisville, Ky. at 7:30
P.M.
On Saturday, March 22, Channel 11 will televise the NIT
championship game from 2 to 4 P.M. and beginning at 4 P.M.
the NCAA Tournament Championship game from Louisville,
Ky. will be shown.

and were corrected last week.

There had been a motor

him to be the other driver.
"Say, where the devil's

The youngster wolfed his

The small fry looked up

"Yup, a pig is a hog's little
