basketball team from Eastern con.
ference play was upheld here to-
day by the association executive
committee, c. E. Mcintosh, exc
cutive secretary of the NCHSAA
told the Star-News last night.
''It was a matter of two different
interpretations being placed on the
eligibility code of the association, -
Mcintosh said. 1.-The executive com.
mittee upheld the eligibility com.
mittee's ruling that the use OF
Johnnie McKoy in the game against
Raleigh was an mira ction of East
ern conference rules"
Because McKoy was used the
night of the Raleigh game, Jan.
10, and classes of the New Hanover
High school did not start until
Jan. 81, under the executive and
eligibility committees iterpreta-
ton of the state high school code,
the towering center was ineligible.
The New Hanover High school
officials have contended that as
McKoy had passed the necessary
amount of examinations to be
given credit for first semester
work, the boy was eligible the
night of Jan. 10.
1.-THE New Hanover officials took
the decision in good grace" Nc
Intosh informed the Star-News.
There were no hard feelings and
the Wilmington authorities are 60
ing to abide b ythe decision of
the executive committee"
The decision, Mcintosh pointed
out, does not bar the Wildcats from
participating in any other sport.
The executive committee made it
clear, the executive secretary con-
tlnued, that the New Hanover Of
ficials had acted in good faith.
SIn fact" he said, ''they passed
resolution commencing the good
craftsmanship of Coach Brogden,
Superintendent Roland, and Prin-
cipal Hamilton.

Does the Charter Committee

School 0fficia! Loses
Montgomery Fight
To Be Bus Purchaser

The Montgomery County Com
have rejected a request
by Calvin Schaeffer, supervisor OF
school property, that he be permit
ted to purchase five school buses
for $4,000, and have turned over
the entire matter of school bus
purchases to I. G. McNayr, county
purchasing agent.
The action is understood to mark
the formal transfer of all county
purchasing activities to Mr.. Nc
Nayr Under law, Mr. Schaeffer
is authorized to purchase only edu-
cationai equipment, such as books
and rulers.
Mr.. Schaeffer recently announced
his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for county commission
er against Julius P. Stadler, who has
been indorsed by the Democratic
County Congress.
Alfred D. Noyes, president of the
Board of County Commissioners,
said today the board now has
contract with several automobile
dealers for the delivery of Is used
school buses at about $4,000 each.
This price is subject to authorized
OPA prices, which would incerase
the cost of each bus approximately
$50.
Mr.. Noyes said Mr. Schaeffer
wanted to buy five similar buses for
$4,000, or $500 each. The only
mechanical differences between these
buses and the Is on order were that
the former had larger heaters and
booster brakes, Mr.. Noyes said.
These two items. according to Mr..
Noyes. represent an increase in cost
of about $75.
THE difference in price was ap-
proximately $1,000 per bus over the
contract and it looks as if it also
was the same amount over OPA
prices" the board chairman declared.
Mr.. Schaeffer. when informed of
Mr. Noyes' statement, said he "is
willing to let it rest at that" He
refused further comment.
