Pee Wees Bow To
Walden tuesday Mite

Lexington Pee Wees fell to
Walden Tuesday night 27-7 in
a game on Beall Field that
saw the visitors run up a top
hes Wy score in the first half.
A nice crowd attended.
The score was 200 at the
half with Walden running
wide sweeps and Lexington
not seeming to catch on to the
plays.
The second half saw Lex
ington playing a different
kind of ball and they held
the visitors to a II draw.
One visitor described the
fracas as "an excellent game"
during the second half.

Murder Victim Is
Not Identified;
Two Questioned

The dIsmemDered torso CT
a Negro man found in Big
Black River near Goodman
Wednesday, Sept. II, has not
yet been positively identified
but two Negroes, a man and
a woman, are being held BY
Holmes County officers for
questioning.
The only person reported
missing, VINO presumably
could be the dead man, is Bit
jenkins, a farmer who lives
in the RichIand-G Goodman
area. jenkins has been re-
ported missing by a brother.
He is the son of Mark Jenk-
ms.
Fred Haymon, Lexington,
was picked up by Deputy
Sheriff Andrew Smith late
Monday afternoon as ne re-
turned from the cotton fields.
He has been detained IN the
Holmes County Jail since that
time for questioning. AS far
as could be ascertained no
charges have been filed a.
gainst him.
Lula Mae Tillman, mother
Of a large number of children,
two of them repeatedly by the
missing Bit Jenkins, is also
being held at an undisclosed
place by Holmes County au-
thorities for questioning. The
woman resides three miles
southeast of Lexington.
An unconfirmed report late
Wednesday was that four pee
pie had talked with Bit Jenk-
ms the night before the body
was discovered in a sack
which had been weighted
down with rocks and thrown
in the river. A Coroner's Jury
said the body apparently had
been in the water several days.
1t was in an advanced state
of decomposition. A verdict of
homicide was returned by the
jury.
Only the torso was in the
sack with head, arms and legs
hacked off.
The crime is the most grue-
some to take place anywhere
in this part of the country
within the memory of anyone
living.
Holmes officers are continu-
ing their investigation.

Despite Northwest leading

McAdums Forfeits
Game To Durunt:
Boy Ineligible

McAdams has forfeited The
game it won 1876 over Durant
September 7th because the
Attaia County school used an
ineligible player. The game
will be entered on Mid-State
Conference records as a win
for Durant.
Use of the average player
Wayne Bishop, was not re-
ported by members of the Du-
rant squad, coaches or school.
No protest was made of the
McAdams win at any time
By Durant.
Others brought the matter
to the attention of McAdams
School Principal Glen Cain
who investigated and found
that young Bishops age had
been changed on the school
records at some time during
the past. School and state re-
cords showed the boys age
as eligible. Personal %investiga-
ton by Mr.. Cain revealed the
boy was one year older than
records showed.
Principal Cain, who is serv-
ing his first year at McAdams,
notified the office of Missis
sippi High School Activities
Association in Jackson tho
an ineligible player had been
used in the Durant game by
his school.
1t is not certain how lie
forfeited game will be entered
on state records except that it
will count for Durant. Whe-
tier it will be entered 90 Or
wi ether it will be 60 is not
yet known and probably won't
be until the Executive
Committee of the State As

as 1t IS a part of the Univer-
SLY; football season would
era before it begins because
the closed University could
NOT fleId a football team.
NOR would 1t end here.
The lnJunctlonS issued by
the courts IN this mass suit
were directed to the trustees
and the University and to all
the colleges OF the state -
which means if one college
is closed it is just a question
OF time until the others are
also closed.
This means that 20, 900 or
more college students in this
state could be without a col
lege TO attend. 1t would affect
students at Mississippi State
University at Starkville, Mis-
Slsslppi State College for Wo-
men at Columbus: University
OF Southern Mississippi at
H&ttieSburg; Delta State Col
lege at Cleveland. 1t would al
SO affect Junior colleges of the
state.
So there's a great deal more
to this matter than going on
an emotional binge with the
Governor.
Mr.. Barnett in his speech
dramatically Suggested that
any defiance of federal court
orders be charged to him and
he would serve the Jail SEN
terce - but the cold truth is
that the Governor is not a par
ty to the suit, and it is the
members of the Board of
Trustees of Institutions of
Higher Learning who would
go TO Jail, not Governor Bar
nett.
Nor would their being jailed
halt the admittance of Mere
dIth to Ole Miss.
The fallacy of the "go to
jail idea may we'll be demon
strated within the next few
days in the Magnolia State.
The foregoing should give
at least some idea of the mag
nltude of the questions to be
decided by the state college
board = and these questions
should be faced up to BY
every citizen of the state.
Personally we favor keep
ing all of our schools and col
leges open = to close them
would mean suicide for the
state, educationally, morally,
economically and every other
way.
Nor do we favor the trustees
Of the college board going to
jail III a move that could be
nothing more than a delaying
GESTURE.
The sooner we come to real
ize this is a problem to be
faced realistically and honest
ly, the better off we and our
state will be.
Let's get this thing settled
and go on about the business
OF building a great state
wherein there is room ano
opportunity for everyone.
This could be M~ississippi'S
