rtswtrn ? Ovuv OpiX??it I . By CLINT FULLER ] The annual Franklin County tournament is only a week and I a half away. League and school officials have kept a watchful / eye on the basketball program this year. The total integration ' of Franklin schools threatened for a time to cause the elimination ,of the sports program altogether. Fortunately, most schools decided to continue and to see how it worked out. . ? Thus far, it has worked well. There have been some minor dissatisfaction in some quarters, but all in all the program has stood the test. At this point, there is little danger that it will not be continued another year. However, the true test of whether or not the young people can continue to benefit from this type of school activity will come during the tournament. Fans should make no mistake. If tempers get heated, school officials will bring the entire program to a halt. If basketball is to survive in our school system, the tournament must be conducted in the same manner as in past years. There is little reason to believe otherwise at this point. Many faithful and loyal fans are going to find themselves without tickets to get into the tournament this year. Officials decided to place tickets on sale prior to the games. This will eliminate someone having to tell fans standing in line that the gym is full. No one wants to turn fans away, but the limits of seating in the gym necessitates this. With slightly over 200 tickets allotd to each school, tHe scramble will be on as soon as tickets are put on sale. It may be that in future years, seats can be numbered and reserved and single game tickets might be sold. This 'way, fans of a particular school could attend on the night their team is playing and others could do the same. This way-a sort of rotation system- -perhaps more fans could see at least part of the action. However, time does not permit such a plan for this year and unless fans join together in some sort of volunteer exchange of tickets, many unfortunately will not get in. It should be one of the most interesting tournaments in some time. Youngsville girls will be favored but, for the first time in several years, the Youngsville boys will not be alone in the pre-tourney pickings. The Franklinton Rams have the strength and thus far have shown they have the desire. They've built a large following, too. One game last week, they had standing room only in their gym. < i C MajfiawS FRI.-SAT.

KM Ian Mm* (4> Tournament Tickets ' To Be Scarce This Year Area basketball fans will have to draw on their experiences in obtaining tickets to the old Dixie Classic and the ACC Tournament if they are to attend the upcoming Franklin County High School Tournament this year. Tickets to the five-night affair are going to be scarcer then the proverbial hens-tooth. Due to the increased enrollent at most of the member schools this year and the limited seating capacity of the Paul Elam Gym at Louisburg. each school will be allocated slightly over 200 tickets-far below the enroll ment of any of the six partici pating schools. League officials met here Wednesday to set the stage for the ever-popular season's end event and approved plans for ticket sales. Under the plan, each school will be gi ven an equal number of tic kets. Sale of the tickets will begin early next week and advance sales will end on Saturday. In the event, any school falls to sell their allot ment, single game tickets will be placed on sale at the box office on the night of the game. The number available and the night they are to be sold will be announced in advance. The tournament will begin on Monday, February 17 and run nightly except Thursday, through Saturday. Girl's championship game will be played Friday night and the boy's crown will be decided Saturday. A complete pairings brac ket will be announced as soon as the remaining games are decided. In other actions, the Lea gue changed the method of dividing the tournament pro fits. In past years, all schools received equal shares but with some schools fielding both girls and boys teams and one school having only boys bas ketball, the League voted Wednesday to allocate shares by teams. The main effect of the new ruling is that Frank linton will receive 1/llth of the profits. The, other schools, Loulsburg, Youngs ville. Gold Sand, Bunn and Wakelon will receive a double share, having two teams parti cipating in the tournament. Players will sit in a special designated section during the tournament, according to a new ruling. Sportsmanship, coach of the year and all-con ference selections were made in Wednesday's meeting, but following past custom, these will not be made public until the final night of the tourna ment.

Ferrum Here Monday Crown At Stake The Cavalier-Tar Heel Conference championship and an automatic berth in the Regional Tournament at Lenoir will be up for grabs Monday night. February 10 in Louisburg College's Holton gym when the Hurricanes meet mighty Femim. Both teams have one loss in the conference race, and the winner of Monday's game in all probability will win the championship. The championship carries with it top seeding in the conference tournament at Albemarle, February 25, 26, 27 and an automatic berth in the Region 10 Tournament at Lenoir March 5, 6, 7. Both teams will be favored to win their remaining con ference games, but Chowan, who plays Ferrum at Ferrum, and Mt. Olive, who meets Louisburg at Mt. Olive, could provide an upset. Ferrums first loss in the conference in four years came at the hands of Mt. Olive at Mt. Olive this year, but they revenged the loss by beating the Trojans at Ferrum 107-56. They handed Louisburg it's only defeat in the conference last week when they beat the 'Canes 72-71 at Ferrum.
