Wakelon enjoyed a scant 5 point lead at half-time, but increased it to 9 in less than a minute of the second half when Robert Jenkins laid up a basket on a clean-breaking tip off play which was controlled by Carlton Debnam. Tony Wilson clicked on a jump shot a few sec onds later. Wakelon held Wake Forest to 6 points in the third quarter while scoring 17. This gave Wakelon a 16 point lead, which they never lost. Wakelon played for good shots in the fourth quarter, and a bit of fancy ball handling by Joseph Temple and Tony Pearce never gave Wake Forest a chance to catch up. Wakelon outscored Wake Forest in all four quarters with the ex ception of the fourth, in which both teams scored 10 points. High scorers for Wakelon were Carlton Debnam and Robert Jenkins with 20 and 17 points respectively.

Traffic Violations Continue To Fill Local Court Docket Martin K. Green Announces For Senate Martin K. Green, candidate for the North Carolina State Senate in the coming Democratic primary, says that this action is prompted by a genuine desire to render com pletely fair and conscious service to the people of North Carolina. He says that one of the issues in his campaign will be the great social question of our time, that of the segregation issue. “Our Governor has stood vir tually alone in his attempts to as sure that North Carolina’s position shall be taken on the sound basis of reason and understanding. The Governor cannot do this job a lone.” He says that relative to the pub lic school problem, he is unal terably opposed to forced inte gration. He says that it will be his purpose to discuss this prob lem forthrightly and honestly, to the end that both races may walk the next 60 years in harmony and with hatred, so that we may end this period with a much higher per capita income, and with bet ter schools.
