Game by Snatching Lone
Chance of Day
At 2 o’cIocK r'ri;^ay, November 4,
two evenly matched teams, Goldsboro
and Durham, trotted cn Riddick
^Field in Raleigh to decide which
wciild continue the march toward the
High School State title.
Durham received and started a
drive that was not checked until they
reached Goldsboro’s 20-yard line. Ma
son on the first play kicked ( ut of
danger. Durham started another dan
gerous drive that was allowed to
continue until she reached the 20-
yard line. Here Goldsboro held and
Mason again kicked out of danger.
This time Goldsboro held and Durham
was forced tO’ kick. Mason received
the punt running to the left with the
entire team after him. As soon as he
was tackled the team lined up, the
ball was snapped and Mason threw
a pass to Simmons who reached the
5-yard line before he was downed.
Here Goldsboro lest her chance of
scoring when the strong Crimson
Tide held and Goldsboro could not
carry the pigskin over. Durham was
so‘0n forced to punt. The second
quarter was a punter’s duel with Ma
son having a big edge over Hackney,
of Durham. With about 60 seconds to
play, Durham heaved a pass that
carried them to the one-yard line and
on the next play they carried it over
for what proved to be the winning
points of the game. The half ended
with the bali in Durham’s territory.
The second half saw Goldsboro
fighting hard to overcome a six-point
lead held by Durham who never
. threatened again. The third quarter
saw Goldsboro playing Durham off
their feet, but never getting within
striking distance of the goal. With
the opening of the fourth, quarter the
Earthquakes opened up their aerial
attack but in vain. With the wind
blowing strong passes went wild and
she soon went hack to bucking the
line. Here she locked dangerous
with Mason and Simmons carrying
the ball from the 50-yard line to the
10-yard line. Again Goldsboro
threatened but again the Crimson
Tide held. Hackney stepped back to
punt but Goldsboro in a last desperate
■chance, broke through to block her
punt. Here they lost their laat
chance of scoring as Hackney picked
up the hall to- be tackled back of the
goal frr Goldsboro’s only points of
the game. The game soon ended with
■Goldsboro vainly trying to score by
the aerial route. The outstanding men
In the line were as usual the same
big three. Captain Kelly, Spicer, and
Metz, while Mason in the backfleld
deserves credit for his punting and
returning of punts.

We want to thank Mr. Weaver for
the candy he supplied for the students
at the Durham-Goldsboro game.
“No mire monkey buiness,’’ said
“Skip” Haines as he entered the
building at 8:45.
Archie helped out nobly at the
game Friday. He was all dressed up;
nevertheless he yelled and attracted
many oo-mments from the State Col
lege boys. (We wonder what kind?’
Ed Waters says he has turned over
a new leaf this year. We would think
this leaf is worn I'Ut after five other
turnings.
Carriee M. Nash had better watch
where she sits, especially on weenie
roasts.
Suppose Garlie Forehand failed
history and Cow Spicer lost 50
pounds.
Coach Ed Bullock selected an all-
star backfleld from the high scho-i.'l.
“Petit Jim’’ Spicer w’as selected as
quarter. His good head work wmn
him the positicn. “Tiny’’ Beale and
“Teeny’’ Metz were selected as
halfbacks; their speed and ability to
carry the ball placed them here. “Fat
Man’’ Simmons was selected as full on
account of his great weight and line
plunging ability.

Prospects for Good Basketha!! Team
Is Very Good, Says Miss
* Koiintree
Nine girls who received letters for
playing basketball last year are still
with us. They are Martha Parsons,
Bobbie Musgrave, Mildred Heiulerscn,
Mary. Langston, Katherine Miller,
Cora Fuller Collier, Olive Spence,
I Mary E. Hartshorn, and Elizabeth
' Herring. With this number and
several others who are faithfully
working, the girls are determined to
win every game this year.
In order to develop an extra goo4
team, the season was opened several
weeks earlier than usual. It was
hoped that enough girls would go
out for basketball to have interclass
games, but so far the number has not
been great enough for class basket
ball. Hi wever, v«'e have enough girls
who have played before for a team
and a scrub team.
The team practices every afternoon
at the Wayne Memorial Building. It
is very inconvenient for the girls to
go there for practice, hut judging
from several encouraging repc^rts, it
is thought that the school will provide
an outdoor court back of the schoioJ.

TABLE TOPPLES AT
FREMONT GAME
Holiday Game Goes
To Roanoke Rapids
Armistice Day saw two football
teams that did not look sc- peaceful
When the two teams trotted on the
field it looked as if it were going to
be a one-sided affair with Goldsboro
>on the small end, but Goldsboro soon
showed that the old fight was still
there and time after time they stopped
the strong Roanoke team. After a
series of passes and line bucks the
Yellow Jackets pushed over the only
touchdown of the first half.
At the beginning of the second half
Roanoke on a trick play pushed over
for her second touchdown. Golds
boro’s touchdown came in the last
•quarter when she opened up her
passing attack. Simmions threw a
pass to Mason who carried it over
for a touchdown. The game ended !
with the hall deep in Goldsboro’s j
territory.
Metz and Kelly were both missed
and the line was weakened censid-
erably. Mason and Liles showed up
well in the backfleld, while Kelly
(captain) and Wilson showed up for
'the line.
No one was injured when, from
their eminent position on tO'P of a
table at the Freniont-Goldsboro foot
ball game, a few girls were thrown
abruptly to the ground. The cause
of their fall was the sudden toppling
of the table which was of a folding
type.
During the third quarter of the
game, a crowd of girls decided to
use the table as a grandstand. They
climbed gaily upon it and were wildly
cheering their team to victory, when
the table, without warning, landed its
burden on the rope surrounding the
football field. One girl landed on the
rope, but completed a “somersault”
and landed on the ground quite com
fortably. The other two tound them
selves sitting on the ground with the
table, which was lying on top of
them, a nice canopy from the drizzling
rain. They were slightly dazed, but
regained their feet immediately and
proceeded to get up the table again.
This time, however, the girls took
the precaution to balance themselves
carefully. No more accidents occur
red, and they viewed the rest of the
game in safety.
More subscribers are needed to helpi
pay the bills.
In the big game. Seniors against
Weiners, the Senior squad won by a
huge score. In fact, the victory was
so decisive that at the end the Weiners
were completely subdued. The
Weiners had as rooters, buns and
mustard, but even the rooters had dis
appeared at the end of the game.
Many of the participants warmed
up by walking out to the gridiron
while others rode. In the first quarter
the battle was so hot that a huge fire
resulted. A run was made on Weiner
sticks. In the second quarter the
Seni'Qirs held the line and not a single
Weiner or bun could plunge through.
In the third quarter the opponents
ran in some new players in the form
of marshmallows, but the Seniors got
the larger end of the score here, too.
In the fourth quarter the few remain
ing marshmallows as well as the tin j
can in which they rode to the field i
Our foiotball team is just too so
ciable fo-r words! Do you think that
our men crouch down and face their
opponents between plays without
even a syllable to break the silence?
No, indeedy. They wouldn’t think
such a thing.
When our quarterback is giving
signals, our right end whispers to
Durham’s left end, “My dear, I think
yO'U ought to wear your helmet a little
more to the right.”
“Do you remember the .c'ne I had
last year?” asks the Durham man.
“Weil, this is it.”
“Why, it looks just like new.”
“But it isn’t. Do you know what I
did? I just added this rosette to the
brim.”
“Dear, oh dear,” murmurs the
GMus’ooro brute. “I wish I were as
clever with my fingers as ”
The ball snapped inH> play and
the fight is on. Durham gets the ball
aud the men line up again.
“My dear,” says the Durham
center to our center, “Do you know
what the center on the LaGrange team
told me last week?”
“About me?’'
“Y'es. Of course I don’t believe it,
but he said he thciight ysu were too
fleshly around the hips.”
“HfiLdid? The old cat. Why, I know
for a fact ”
At this point, the Durham man re
ceives a_ kick from the quarterback
which means that he is to pass the
hall.
At the half, the teams are served
tea in waxpaper cups and lady fingers
were passed around. As Isaid before,
our team is just too sociable for any
thing.
