victories of the season by s M to 44
count over St. Louis University at
Stillwater, Okla.
That gave them 16 straight wins
this season, first place in the rough
and rugged Missouri Valley Con
ference, and Increased prestige all
over the nation.
Columbia became the gem of the
Ivy League with a 68 to 50 triumph
over Pennsylvania at New York
City. It was the Lion’s’ 11th victory
in a perfect season and it shattered
the first-place tie which had existed
between these two teams.

ALL-GIRLS GAME IN COLISEUM
It is my guess that this addition of teams from four to
eight in the All-girl plfty in the Coliseum is a provoker. I
don’t know if it is intentional or not, but I believe after
the teams have met and four winners are decided that
there will be a clamor for the winners to meet. The reason
for ddUhling the number may be to increase the atten
dance, or it may be the result of the strong demand from so
many schools and communities for their teams to be in
cluded. The reason for the increase in the number is really
secondary; the important thing is, will there be a follow?
There is a post-season all-state girls tourney played in Southern Pines
to decide the best teams in the state. May be that this is the beginning
of a replacement of the Southrn Pines location ... or it may be just
to make more folks happy, who knows?
Incidentally, It seems that the times that have been set for the
night games are rather late for high school ban games. The last game
begins at 10:00, will progagly end at 11:00, and the girls will be as late
as 12:30 to 1:00 getting home . . . with school the next morning and a
school bus to catch at 7:45. Just a thought or two.
THE HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING SITUATION
Sport fans and sport writers all
over the country were hoping for
one of two results from last Friday
night’s Charles-oma heavyweight
championship fight. They were for
a good close battle that would prove
that Lee Oma was a formidoble foe
and challanger, or a onesided, im
pressive win for Ezzard Charles that
would prove that he is truely a
champion and top notch boxer.
Neither case resulted.
Anyone who heard, saw, or read
about the last Friday bout knows
MAKE-BELIEVE FOE BENHAVEN FRIEND
It seems that most of the players,
students, and rabid basketball fans
at Benhaven school like to read be
tween the lines or imagine things.
Which ever it is that they did the
other day while reading this column
they misinterpreted, and I think if
they will just read th article again
only for what is ethere, they will
find no remark which slanderous
or detrimental to their girls’ basket
ball team.
There was only one referel in
tended, and I think, only one re
ferel was in evidence—this being
that it is very possible that the
weak guarding on the part of the
opposition is a factor in the over
whelming showing in, and the do
minence of, the Harnett County
Conference.
I believe that if the fine people of
the Benhaven community will think
this over and watch for It In t£e
next few ball games that they will
(reluctantly) agree with me.
If you will remember, I have call
ed your team the “Court Queens”
on numerous occasions, I have said
that they can coast through con
ference play, and used other super
latives in refering to Benhaven’s
fine girls’ team. Furthermore, I will

high-grade championship fight and

To many people who see boxing

Coats High Teams
Win Double Games
The CoaSs high school basketball
teams won two non-conference
games last Wednesday night in the
Lillington gym. The Coats girls’
team won over the Lillington Jun
ior Women’s team by a 28 to 21
score. The high school boys won
over the Coats All-stars, a team
which included three of the high
school teachers, 38-22.
The Coats high girls were led
by Doris Johnson who scored 15
points and Josephine Johnson who
npade 7. Rosie Gilchrist scored 11
points for the Lillington women.
In the second game, Rudy Miller
and Hoover Johnson led the scor
ing for the high school by sinking
9 and 11 points. Coach Jimmy
Valsame and Charles Ennis were
the scoring leaders for the All-stars
with 12 and 11 points.
County Conference
Erwin high and Boone Trail high
basketball teams lived up to pre
dictions on Tuesday night at the
Erwin gym and came up with two
swell games in the feature con
tests for Tuesday’s night. Both
Boome Trail teams survived as
victors, however, which was a little
surprising. After plucking these
two wins right out of the heart of
the .‘schedule, the B. T. girls and
boys will have to be considered
reaLeontenders for the conference
croWßfcf*k]so, the Western-Harnett
clubs ar the real surprises of the
year since they are using many
new and Inexperienced players who
are dfinitely the recipeintsof good
coaching.
Th Boone Trail girl’s team won
the opener, 47 to 42. Thwr were
behind at halftime by a 22-21 score,
and at the third quarter the visit
ors were still trailing by a single
point; but, in the final stanza,
with the basket-bursting of Carolyn
McNeil, the B. T. girls picked up
six points to take the win. Carolyn
Mchkjl made 27 of these, and
Blanche McPhail and Joyce Ste
wart made 11 and 6. Doris Oldham
scored 19 points for the home team
while Dot Hall and Joyce Lucas
were making 12 and 9. The best
guarding was done by Marie Gunter
for the winners and Daphlne Mat
thews for the losers.
In the 40 to 38 boys game, Wal
lace Cash and Richard Paterson
were the main cogs In the Boone
Trail victory as they scored 10 and
8 points—Paterson was also the
best defensive man for the visitors.
George (Dead-Eye) Earnshaw and
Jackie Stewart were the leading
point makers with 13 and 10, and
George Lucas donated 7 points to
the .cause. Jackie Stewart and
Eaniafutw did fine defensive work
as well as score In'that battle which
necessitated an overtime period—
the regular game ended in a 36 all
deadlock.

STUPX GENERAL FUND
The committee returned to its
painstaking page-by-page study of
the General Fund section of the
budget that was expected to con
sume at least two afternoons next
week.
Moore pointed out that requests
for special consideration already
had been made and warned that
others probably would be made be
fore the committee finished its
preliminary budget study.
But he vetoed King’s proposal to
make cuts on the way.
"But Larry," protested King, “A
fellow has just gone out of here
with 600 buses. We’re going to
have to get up earlier than we’ve
been getting up if we’re going to
beat those fellows in here.”
At a meeting of the Joint Finance
Committee, House Chairman E. T.
Bost, Jr., urged members to get
into the hoppers as quickly as poss
ible any bills they had in mind to
make changes in the Revenue Act
so “we’ll have something to work
