The state college board, which governs all state-supported schools, voted 8 - 3 to abandon the state's long standing policy of prohibiting participation against teams with Negro athletes. Mississippi State will enter the NCAA regional playoff at East Lansing, Mich., March 15. It was considered likely the Mississippi team would meet Loyola, a team with four Negros in its starting lineup, as its first opponent. The action upheld Stale President D. W. Colvard's de cision last week to send the team unless vetoed by "com petent authority." The deci sion apparently went against the wishes of Mississippi's staunchly segregationist Gov. Ross Barnett. Barnett and several other state officials were on the rec ord as opposing entry of the Bulldogs in the integrated tournament. Some members of the legis lature threatened to cut the university's appropriation if the Bulldogs disregraded the J V, Soph Teams Win For MHS Klamath Falls - Medford high teams won both prelim inary basketball games here Friday evening ahead of the varsity engagement.
