classification.
This question arose some II
schools in the county voiced some
ment had been carried on in the
past. The smaller schools con-
tended that the competition off
cred by Whiteville and Tabor
City, the two class AA schools
in the county, was superior to
the others and that they should
not be allowed to compete IN
the tourney along side the other
seven schools.
With this problem in mind, a
delegation headed by Robert
Randall, principal of the Viii:
liams Township school, presented
the situation to L. ]. Perry, exc
cutive-secretary of the North Car
DINA High School athletic Asso-
citation and Perry suggested the
system that has now been adopt
ed.
Tabor City and Whiteville re-
Trained from stating whether or
not they would take any part in
the tournament under the new
arrangement at the Wednesday
meeting but agreed among them,
selves Thursday afternoon to
compete. With the present ar
rangement, Tabor City an d
Whiteville will meet again. The
winner of this third game will
then be matched against the win.
ner of the tournament held a.
mong the seven class A schools
for the county title.
The dates for the tournament
are February %, and March 1
and 2, for the Class A event, with
the final game between the Class
A and AA champions slated for
Saturday night March 3.
It was voted last month to hold
this years tournament at vii
liams Township School but Prln'
cipal Pierce Dalton made a mo-
ton that this question be reopen
ed for consideration. The motion
was carried and another vote
taken on the motion that the
event be held at the new gymnas-
ium in Fair Bluff. This was un-
animous, in favor of Fair Blutt.
Dalton presented to the group
the promise of Fair Bluff citizen
nv that additional temporary
seats would be put in the gym
nasium prior to the tournament.
The radical change in the
tournament procedure, was high
" controversial and a vote on
whether to conduct the fortuna
ment this year with. all schools
competing regardless of classitl-
cation as in similar years was
voted down by a five to four
vote, through the adoption OF
the Perry Plan.
Whiteville and Tabor City, the
only Class IA schools, pointed
out that they had no objections
to playing a tournament in this
fashion except that the timing
was bad. Their contention was
that the season was to nearly
over for their teams to enter in
any other tournament and that
this tournment was so near that
it did not seem practical to bar
them from participation in the
usual manner.
The compromise Perry system
was finally accepted by Tabor
City and Whiteville on Thursday
but they pointed out then that
they were reserving the right to
withdraw from he tournament
completely in future years if the
same system was adopted, but
that thew would compete in this
years event.
J. E. Pierce, of Evergreen,
president of the WCCSMC, pre-
sided and was in charge of the
round table discussion.

committee, who presented the
