on either side were battling with
rocks and knives. The fracas took
place during the noon recess.
Captain Jack Briefly, head of
the Juvenile Division, attributed
the mass fight to a scrap last Fri
day between white and Negro boys.
The officer said some of the
Negro boys revealed during the
questioning that they felt the
whites were trying to run them off
the school grounds.
The school is located at 1901
Macarthur Blvd, and the fight
took place in a vacant lot just
across the street from the main
school building.

3rd Annual Delta Cage
Tournament Al MvC

ITTA BENA, Miss. -O'Bannor
High Boys of Greenville and Yazoo
City Girls shot their way into the
finals and to victory by defeating
Coleman High 47-41 and Sharkey
County Training School 57-18 re-
spectively, during the Third Annual
Delta Tournament at Mississippi
Vocational College. Forty-three
teams participated in the three day
cage extravaganza of Basketball,
which saw thrills by the minute as
the ball swished through the nets.
O'Bannon High, two time run
ners up in the Delta Tournament,
had never in the past been able to
muster enough strength to win the
tournament. In 1868 and 1854 they
were defeated in the finals but
this year it was a different story.
In the opening minutes of the game
it seemed as if history would re-
peat itself as Coleman High began
to hit the loop, gathering a ten
point lead. The O'Bannon team
spanked by its big three of King,
Smith, and Jackson nipped away at
the lead with their cool and con-
sistent style of ball until they
caught up and passed the Tigers
and never relinquished the lead.
In the closing moments the Tig-
ers threatened to tie the score but
the Green Wave moved out and
cinched the game with free throws
on fouls committed by Coleman
High in an effort to get the ball.
The Girls Division saw Yazoo
City High take home the trophy
for the second consecutive year.
The Yazoo lassies proved too much
for Sharkey County Training
School. The superb play and dex-
ferrous ball handling of P. Hud-
dleston and her teammates gave
Yazoo City the victory by con-
vincing margin. Sharkey County
fought CALAMITY however, the hei-
ght of their opponent was too
much.

assault on a white student with a
stick.
In another incident, there was
a clash in a school corridor in
which both white and Negro youths
drew knives, but did not use them.
Delbert C. Merritt, white
youth, was treated at Christian
hospital for a scalp wound and a
cut shoulder suffered in an incl
dent with six other youths.
Merritt, 10 years old, reported
ly was riding in an automobile
driven by his father, Carl, and was
accompanied by two school friends.
According to police, six Negro boys
surrounded the car and ordered
Merritt out. He was then hit on
the head.
The water-squirting incident,
the Post-Dispatch said, occurred
after two Negro girl students were
followed on their way home by
several white boys. There was
name calling" and one of the
girls-a IA year old - was the
target of a water pistol.
AS the incidents began to mount,
school officials and student leaders
arranged an assembly at which
Hickey said that the water squirt
ing incident resulted because "a
white boy did not exert good cit
izenship." He termed the use of a
water pistol by a high school stu
dent Kindergarten stuff
The superintendent said he was
convinced the Negroes who assault
ed Merritt were non-students, "who

2. Am I reasonably certain
that I will really get rid Of my

3. Do have sufficient reason
to believe that I won't run
into some new problems even
worse than those I am trying
to run away from?
4. Do I have a clear and

Probably those questions
sound to you. Martin. merely
like an attempt on my part
to confuse you. They are an
attempt to make you think;
and if this thinking confuses
you, it's hardly my fault. The
fact is that a surprisingly
large percentage of all teen
ayers play at some time with
the idea of running away from

actually do SO. Sometimes
when you know the homes from
which they are running away,
you can't blame them.

II for nothing else, it seems
that 1855 will go down in his
tory as the year of the epochal
discovery that Partisan bees
don't need alarm clocks.
The international Bee Ex-
periments have certainly had
not only humor but consider
able whimsy and thorough
cosmopolitan favor: A Ba-
varian bee expert chaperoned
French bees on an American
visit. Yet the rather bizarre
business Of flying a hive OF
bees from a Paris laboratory
to a New York City museum
and keeping them in a sealed
room exactly like theirs at
home to determine whether
they would operate on Paris
or New York time was ap-
parently undertaken entirely
in the spirit of scientific re-
search.
If a hive Of New York bees
had been sent by air to the
French capital for a similar
test I'd have been willing to
make a small wager that in
early fall we'd be treated to
an advertising campaign tout
ing the flavor, health-giving
qualities and low-calory con-
tent of Transatlantic Mid
night Honey or some such
commercial product. Or may
be a new motion picture with
honey or bees in the title.
But ! really think the Euro
pean scientists were on the
level.
It's still hard, though, for
me, a consistent plane pas
senger, to understand why
these knowledgeful men had
any doubts about whether bee
stomachs and bee activities
are controlled by exterior
forces like daylight, sunshine
and flower bloom. I could
