The eight top teams in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic
Association, led by the Aggies of the A. & T. College (N. C.),
will see action in the Thirteenth Annual CIAA Tournament
which gets underway here today. Sports fans from several
states are expected to attend the three day cage carnival.
Climaxing one of the closest races in CIAA history, some
of the eight first division teams had to fight right down to the
wire for the right of representation in the tourney. An eleventh
hour Shaw Unversity upset of the North Carolina College
Eagles last Saturday night, for example, knocked out last
year’s tourney champs, the Winston-Salem Teachers College
Rams, and gave the victorious Bears eighth place in visitation
standings.
Notwithstanding, the Cal Irvin coached A. & T. aggrega
tion has led the pack most of the year and, as new visitation
champs, is top seeded in the three day dribble derby.
Tournament play opens at 2:30 this afternoon with Eliza
beth City Teachers playing Morgan State College’s Bears. The
other opening day tilt will see the Fayetteville State Teachers
Broncos take on the Virginia State College Trojans at 4:00.
Tonight’s action pits the NCC Eagles and the Virginia
Union University Panthers in the curtain raiser, and-the North
Carolina College A. & T. Aggies against Shaw University Bears
in the finale. The first game is called for 8:00 p. m. and the
second for 9:30 p. m.
The Aggies, top seeded, are in the upper bracket with
Shaw, Morgan, and Elizabeth City. Winners of the two games
involving these teams will play in the headliner tomorrow
night at 9:30. The lower bracket includes Fayetteville, Vir
ginia State, Virginia Union, and NCC, and the winners of con
tests involving these teams will engage each other in tomorrow
evening’s opener at 8:00.
The Eagles, last year’s visitation champions, will be fight
ing against a tradition of never being able to appear in the
tournament finals since it has been played in their OAvn arena.
Local prognosticators give the Eagles a favored role in the
opening contest with, yirginia Union despite the fact that the
Floyd Brown coache^ cagers managed only a split with the
i^son play. Nevertheless, they are given

According to Dr. J. H. Taylor,
Summer School Director, all
regular placemeht tests associat
ed with orientation, including
tests in English, mathematics,
and foreign languages, will be
administered. Normal orienta-'
tion activities will be carijied on
for new-comers in the Sxmraier
School as they are for enterin'g
freshmen in September and
February, Dr. Taylor said.
This represents the first time
that a full schedule of regular
freshman courses has been of
fered during the summer.
The Echo also learned that stu
dents who need to do make*-up
work will find a complete calen
dar of basic courses in the Sum
mer School program.
The large number of courses
being offered in the Summer
School will enable students to
complete their college work in
a shorter period. Dr. Taylor told
the Echo.
He pointed to beginning cour
ses in art, biology, dramatic art,
English, French, mathematics,'
music, and social sciences as evi
dence of the Summer School’s
expanded offerings.
Undqr the new system, a stu
dent who enters NCC this sum
mer can continue through regu
lar and succeeding summer ses
sions and complete his work in
three years. Similarly, a studefat
now enrolled may take make-up
work during the summer and ac
celerate his graduation plans.

tor, Summer School, N. C. Col
lege, Durham (321 Class Room;
Building).
