The girls go to Fayetteville to the State tourney March 1 and the Boya will represent this section in tha state tourney there a week later. * These boys and girls have come to this point in the season lee ding all others in this center srd In sight of state champion ships despite the fact that Dur ham Negroes are impoverished when It comes to High school athletic facilitiea. Under the Tar Heel state’s system of “seperate- bute-equkl" schools, Hillside has no organized program of physkal education; the coaches teach five classes each per day aside from apcnsoring other extra-cunrieular activities; while right over on the othe aids of town at the White high school, the coach not only devotes all of hit tima to athletics in the modern and welU equipped kmynasium, but there is II seperate coach for football, basketball and baseball, track, and wrestling. AT THE CHAJPEiL HILL game Tuesday night, several players had a narrow escape in the Hill side auditorium which has to be used for baskei3>all. In the at tempt to make a biuket, one of the players made a high shot and the ball struck one ol the low- hanging lights; the heavy globe fell, parley missing the boys and shattering# into a million fine picces. The playerl vould never have been endangered in a gym. THE HILLSIDE RECREA TION CENTER has an interest ing program outlined and the officials have signed pointing the way to the buiWing, but during the rainy days, f those who wish to follow the signs can folloiw only so far because of the se veral inches of' heavy mud that bar traveling. Wouldn’t it be swell if the city could “spare” something, (anything) to make getting to the center a bit more on the possible side? A few walk ways wouldn’t be bad either. WITH THE NCC-UNION game in Norfolkl^coming on the same date aa the CIAA boxing tourna ment (March 16), Coach Mc Lendon of the boxers is some what upset as to what he’s going to do because two of his leading boxers, Anders and Warmick, a>*e also leading members of the court team.

Diamond at first ruled that it int a bas ket netting Smith two point*, and then when the entire visit ing squad including ooachea B. Bernard and H. Harris , loudly protested called a technical four against A & T. The gams stopp ed for several minutes while a furious discussion took place around the scoring table, the | ending being that the basket was not allowed, and the technical jfour eanckled. A and T’s Junior Varsity team was too much for Smith’a Jayvees, and won going away ^y a score of $4-49. Mather’s girls ars seeking revenge for their last year’a loss, while the bdys are deter mined to hold their victory. So f«r this season the Mather Eagles h*ve gaincd victories over Jackson High and Coulter Academy, and have dropped a close game to Booker Wasoing- ton.

The boXiag team'of North CaroUn* College broke even in tha two meets which they had during their trip though Virginia last week, winning (11-8) over Virginia State Friday^ February 16, and losing to Hampton on the following day. \At Virginia State the card opened with NCC’s 119 pound Cdbi» getting a TKO over Coleman had'to be carried to his comer at tha end of the second round and was unable to come out for the third. The next was a close, bout one between “wild wan" Watson of N. C- State and Powell, both weighing 122. Thi» furfous encounter end ed in a draw. In the 158 pound class Logan, of Durhan^had Cole* man unaible to continue aftet one minute and seconds of tha first round. Then Wkrpqick won an easy decision over Simons la the l®5“(jl«(8|. Seeking som« information, this deluded wri^r wps n*lve «nOugh ^ tebphcpp ^ person in, t h e city supposedly_un th« “Recrea tion Coyncil” incWntally learn ing for the first time that there is such a thing .tn our midst. This started the ball to rolling. The telephone in our office did over time duty, persons calling ug to know IF we ^er» printing any thing and more foolhardy ones telling us NOT to print any thing. Wi; IJrst eorisldered print- mg a story last week, but decid ed to wait and personally ins- spect the dknce this week. Well, Oil Thursday night we were there, and unhesM^tingly say, that in pur opinion it is NOT a suitable place .for girls in the younger teen*. We saw no fights, we aaw np drunks, we saw liquor, but it is still not a place we would take the thir teen year old niece or tha four teen years old country couatn. HOWEVER, we l«iow th'«t there are many others that do not agree with us. Among those are: Mrs. B. A. Spetvcer, chair man of the Second Ward e^’aatjona] Council, Misses l^il- helipenia Phar# and Lula Mae White, H«creaticn Employees, Baiber School Proprietor Woods] Morgan, Att’y L. P. Harris, and many others. We may be wrong, but stifk to our gune/’ Do res pectfully request that jnterpst- ed persons, especially BAJiiE'NTS visit some Thursdky nights, ob serve, and let us know what YOU think of the dances, Thirty, (that’s all to the laity), this week, but eomething tejla us we “are not yet through ■^ith this subj^t, I H took only one minute and 62 seconds of the first round for , Creft. of NCC, to score a knock out over Winters. From the be ginning of the fight, Winters w»a alternately down, up, and on the ropes, a right to the stomach and a left to the head spelled the finish for him. Creft cleverljp boxed his man until he was able to come in clqsf and put his weight Itakind the finishing pun- ehea. ' , *■' Moore, of NCC, weighing 167 lost by ^ decision to Burton. f!u|!tonf it was recalled, is the same man who fought to a draw i with Brooks of Johnson C. Smith holder of the CIAiA' champion ship in that class. A fitting climax to this meet at Virginia State was Allen’s bout with CArtright, both men weighing 1S8. This was an enter affair appeared to be about avea until Allen opened up in tha third round to win a tlose dec!*- ion. At HamptoA, it was a "differenH story. Watson losj^. a close decia- ion; Logan’s fight with WatsoB was stopped in the ^rst round when his eye began to swell. Logan lost by TKO. Warmksl: won his fight decisively. Thia heartbreaker of this meet waa the awarding of a d^isiofi jfeo Hampton’s Furcron (f o r m • r champion CM A) when Craft struck a foul blow late in the third rouond after he had clear ly won the fight. Tha biggatt battle of the trip was betwe^ State’s Allen and Ham^ton’a Hunt. Although Allen losa on third round foul the fight fi wan .„d h«Uc tout .Hunt.
