BENEFIT RICHMOND, Va —The execu tive secretary of the Virginia State Conference of the Nation al Association for the Advance ment of Colored People has called upon the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters to cancel a scheduled benefit at the Uni versity of Virginia charging that the school is guilty of "overt racial discriminaion" be cause it has never recruited a Negro athlete. W. Lester Banks, the NAACP official, in a tetter to Globe trotters promoter Abe Saper stein, said the Virginia Student Aid Foundation has "an undis putable record of overt racial discrimination in the recruit ment of qualified' Negro ath letes."

West Char lotte and Jordan-Sellars de throned Hillside and Merrick- Moore of their state champion ship titles here last Saturday night at Dudley High School. In a rematch of the finals for the 3-A and 4-A state cham pionships of a year ago, these two two teams turned the tide this year. West Charlotte caught fire near the end of the third quar ter to break open a close game and went on to win over Hill side for the 4-A title, 96-66. Jordan-Sellars made it four wins in a row over Merrick- Moore this year with a 75-64 victory over the Durham Coun ty eleven in the Triple A finals. Hillside and West Charlotte played to a 34-34 first half deadlock and the two teams to a complete standstill until the last minute of the third stanza. Hillside's backcourt ace, Wil liam Harris committed his fourth foul with 1:05 remain ing in the third quarter and had to leave the contest. At this point, the Lions from the state's largest city, exploded for four quick easy baskets to take a 59-47 lead at the end of the period to put the contest out of the reach of the Hor nets. John Bullock was the only consolation for , Hillside. Play ing his last game in a Hillside uniform, Bullock scored 41 points to lead all scorers. Merrick-Moore fell behind late in the first quarter and never did manage to catch up with the tall and talented Tig ers from Burlington. Behind by as many as 16 points, Mer rick-Moore rallied near the end of the third quarter and closed the gap to six points at the rest period, 50-44 but Jordan-Sellars tallied three baskets in the first tr*t>' minutes of the last frame and was never in any trouble again. Allen Reddish was the high scorer for M-M with 23 points. Wilton Enoch led the winners' scoring with 20 markers. In the 1-A state finals, Ros -•nwald of Catawba defeated B. F. Person, 86-74. And in the ?-A Class state championship, Frederick Douglass of Elm City walloped Woodington of Kins ton, 84-63. Bullock and Reddish Make Honor Squads GREENSBORO Durham is proud to have had two player* named to the NCHSAC All- State and All-Tournament teams announced here Sunday by commissioner W. J. Arm strong. John Bullock of Hill side and Allen Reddish of Mer rick-Moore were named to both of the 10-men mythical squads selected by the coaches and officials of the conference at the conclusion of the state basketball championships held here at Dudley High last week. Reddish led the Tigers' scor ing with a 15.3 average scor ing 397 points in 26 games. Bullock finished out his last year of eligibility with a 23 3 clip scoring 535 points in 23 games. Reddish, a 6-6 last year per former, had his high game of 30 points in the district cham pionship game against Smith field's Johnston Central two weeks ago at Hillside. With his team down by 14 points going into the last period, Reddish scored 14 of these points In this quarter to tie the regula tion game at 64-64 Then he scored 14 of his 30 points in nine seconds left in the over time to give Merrick-Moore a 68-66 win and the right to play in the state tournament. Bullock, the leading re bounder and playmaker for the Hornets, canned his career high of 41 points in the finals against West Charlotte. Bul lock, most commonly called Goat by hii. teamnutea, was a one man show for Coach Carl Easterling's Hornets. Seven of the players named to the All-State team were also named to the All-Tournament squad. Players on both teams besides Reddish and Bullock are Daryl Cherry, West Char t*k Sports Video By EARL MASON Tim#* Sports Editor PREP BASKETBALL SEASON COMES TO A CLOSE With the crowning of the state champions in the high school circles, in the last two weeks, the high school basket ball season comes to a close. The NCHSAA held its 2-A, 3-A and 4-A during the last two weeks and 1-A state title will be decided this week in the Durham High Gynasium. The NCHSAC four division tourna ment was reeled off at Greens boro last week. Now that the cage season is over, the champions are proud, the losers are saying wait un til next year and the "also rans" are saying" we could have won but . . i " Durham was not quite as for tunate this season as it was last year. Last year Hillside, Merrick-Moore and Little River •von state titles and Durham was defeated in the finals of its state drible derby. But this year, not a single local team emerged as a champion. Hillside and Merrick-Moore •vere defeated in the finals of their respective divisions and Durham High fell by the way side in the semi-finals round. Little River was nipped in the finals of the district 1-A class at Hillside and Jordan High lost to Morehead in the semi finals of the state tournament at Durham High. Durham High dropped a 59- 57 decision to Meyers Park in the semi-final round of its tournament at Greensboro two weeks ago. Durham fans are sure they could have won the crown had it not been for a freak accident to their star cen ter, Dennis Hamlfette. Ham lette, injured when the Dur ham team was returning to the dressing room for a last minute ore-game talk, hit his head on a light fixture. In the cham pionship game, Fayetteville, a team Durham defeated twice during the season, defeated Myers Park for the crown. If someone had told Coach Harry Edmonds that his team would be playing for the state 3-A title again this season, he would have thought they were crazy. After losing four start ers from the championship 'earn a year ago, Merrick- Moore was not expected to »ven be in the running for the title a?ain this year. But through hard work and sure determination, the Tigers all but went the last mile of the W V' Bfif'vi ' ■ ■ Rw.'llllflll ■ BULLOCKr lotte; Curtis Lambert, Jordan- Sellars; Henry Bibby, B. F. Persons; Willie Cherry of Fred drick Douglass and Allen Mc- Manus of York Road. Listed on the All-State team ■*ere Wesley Boone of Gates- way before losing to Jordan- Sellars for the fourth time this year in the finals. A rematch between Hillside and West Charlotte has been forecast since the finals of the state 4-A class a year ago. Both teams lost one starter from a year ago and when the season opened this year, all 4-A teams •*ere gunning for Hillside and West Charlotte. The tall and talented West Charlotte time and time again, got behind the Hillside press for easy, uncon tested lay ups. COLLEGE TEAMS DO WELL IN POST SEASON PLAY Local fans who saw Kentucky Wesleyan in the South Central Regional Tournament at North Carolina College were looking at the best team in the nation in the jollege division. After winning the regionals here at NCC, Kentucky Wesleyan went on to win the NCAA College Division Basketball Tourna ment at Evansville, Ind. Sam Smith, who showed the fans his shooting ability here in Durham in the Friday night »arae against South Carolina State, sparked the Panthers to t 54- 51 win over Southern Illi nois in the finals. Norfolk State made a great showing in the NAIA Basket ball Tournament held out in Kansas City. The Spartans, who won the CIAA visitation title and finished second in the league's tournament, displayed their explosive offensive in the dribble derby. Norfolk set a new scoring record with 138 points in the opening round and went over 100 points on three other occasions in the five-day event. Norfolk lost a pair of heartbreakers in the semi-finals and consolation rounds. The Spartans were nipped by Ga.' Southern, 89-88 in the semi-finals and fell to Grambling, 111-110 in the con solation game. Therefore, the Soartans finished fourth in the 32-team event. Thomas Long, Hillside's pro duct to Norfolk State, dropped this corner a few lines from the NAIA Tournament along with a few clippings and pic tures. From these notes, we are confident that Long did his part in carrying the Spartans to the fourth place finish.
