This fact was revealed to the TIMES Tuesday by high school league commissioner Dr. W. T. Armstrong, of Rocky Mount. But this was the only certain ty tp- emerse from the high *8^ v.4il^etnptentf»{p picture a« play-efft in the triple hnd double A divisions were tclieduled to start Friday. Who will furnish opposition for the Hornets and the contenders for the state double A title will liave have to await results of play-off games this week-end and, possibly, on the following. A 24-6 victory by E. E. Smith, of Fayetteville, over Epps, of' Greenvill-e, last Friday gave the ttornets their second straight eastern AAA title. Hillside and Smith finished as leaders of the eastern division's two districts. But Armstrong ex plained that, according to league rut«s...a play-(SB^ between .the was not necessary since the Hor nets already own a victory over FayetteviUe. The reason for the puzzle over opposition for the Hornets lies in the fact that the western champ ionship in the triple A division could go to any of three powerful teams. Stephens-Lee, of Asheville; Carver, of Winston-Salem; and William Penn, of High Point, are in the running for the western title. Stephens-Lee has already won ‘the district one title in the west, Svbut Carver and William Penn must ^y off a tie for first place jn district two. These two clubs meet at High Point to- settle the issue Sec HILLSIDE, 6-A Negro Candidate Swept Under By!

The spven students, five from North Carolina College and two from Duke University, were con victed and sentenced on trespass charges for talcing part in a sit-in demonstration at the Kress store in Durham on May 6.

Prayer fbr judgement against the two girls, Shirley Brown and Mrs. Joan Nelson Trumpower, was continued for two yeers. C. O.
