, December 15, 1939 THE FULL MOON S. SPORTS BULLDOG BARKS Action Around the Girls’ Gym All the girls out for practice were eager to see who would have ;he honor of ringing the first goal during practice this season. It vas done by Gatha Sells. Although Margaret R. is tall, she must wish to be taller, because ihe jumps for every ball thrown to her even if it’s only knee-high, j. Grace must have learned something in algebra last year, because ihe chooses a shorter way out of the dressing room than by the long '•oute through the door. (Grace, the rest of us would like to know fhat way). We Suspected It All the Time While having time out during basketball practice Monday af ternoon all girls were breathing hard, but above all was heard Mazel Morris. Miss Holt, “Why not breathe through your nose, Mazel?” Mazel, “Wheeze, grasp, puff—I—I just can’t keep my mouth shut. Miss Holt.” Boys Are Rearing to Go The boys are intere.sted in basketball. Yes, before the call for 'landidates to report they were crowding the gym to practice. On iwo occasions the boys would try to slip and practice even when the :oach said not. The boys and Gerald, the manager, got into a heated irgument because Gerald would not let them have a ball. They tried ,0 find the coach, but he couldn’t be found anywhere. A committee •ven went to Mr. Gibson, but all in vain. “Shoes, shoes,” says Coach Canipe. These were the words heard when the first basketball practice was held. It must have been a style show because all type.« of shoes were being worn. They were black, brown, white and all other colors of the shoe rainbow. Some even had on shoes that were not mates. Others had a piece of string tied all the way around a shoe to hold it on. Coach made it plain that Creel Lowder would not be allowed to wear a pair of white girl .shoes that he has been wearing for the past three seasons.

Morrow Bros. & Heath Co. Improvement of the Month: New Uniforms At long last a return to the col ors ! Yes, after years of seeing our cagers trot aroiind in faded yellow and green basketball suits, the teams will be equipped this year with beautiful blue and white The boys will have royal blue trunks and jerseys of jockey satin trunks and white numerals. Ten of these uniforms will be ordered for the boys’ team. The girls will also have royal blue and white uniforms of this material. They have ordered twelve, enough for two complete These uniforms will not be avail able for tonight’s opener against Presbyterian Junior college, but they will be used for the first game in the regular schedule in January. Pork Pies And Numerous Bows To Be Popular I Fads come and fads go but it I looks as though these Cardigan’s, j Sloppy Joe’s and Cruise Aids are ; here to stay. Ellen and Ann chose yellow, while Helen and Skimp de cided on ‘Baby Blue’. Bright red seems to be ‘the thing’. Skirts have suddenly changed from pleats to flares. Solid colors are seen a lot, but plaids are still popular. Cornelia really shines in that bright red and green. Cor duroy is a most popular material with velveteen running a close sec ond. Everybody’s been talking about Margaret Deese’s and Judy Rogers’s velveteen suits and, too, Ninky’s bright red corduroy. Along with these come the very popular ‘Pork Pies’. Almost evei^- one has one so we won’t mention any names. Comes rain—comes shine— and comes these good looking revers- ibles—^with detachable hoods — most convenient in rainy weather and smart looking always. They come in all colors and designs. It seems that the most popular coats this year are tweeds. Speak ing of tweeds, the boys, too, have taken over—our president. Jack, makes all the girls’ hearts pound in his green tweed, along with George, Charlie, Bob, and Lloyd in brown tweeds and Wade in gray. Green is still very popular with Laffy, Oron and Bob Young. It seems that the boys just can’t get along without those loud striped Dame Fashion has preceded Leap Year in aiding the girls with a good selection of beaus (or should be saw bows) to be found at any ribbon counter. For the most outstanding bows we have chosen Ninky’s and Sis’s red and green ones that are about two inches wide. Jane, however, gets the prize for the sassiest ones. The latest things are dots and dash rib bons—Kat Whiteley, Annie Ruth Smith and Margaret Nisbet are wearing velvet bows these days. Don’t Worry! We Can Clean That Spot In a Jiffy!

But Only One Royal Crown Cola Cagers To Meet Presbyterian Junior College Quintet In Game Tonight Scotties Provide Initial Test For Bulldog Cagers The Albemarle high boys’ basket ball team will make its season’s debut tonight, when it meets the Presbyterian Junior college team, of Maxton, at the high school gym nasium at 7:30 o’clock. This game will provide the Bull dogs with strong competition for their opening tilt, and will give local followers of the Bulldogs a chance to pass judgment on the prospects of the team for the rest of the season. The Scotties will have the ad vantage of experience, having played before this season. Coach Canipe has been drilling the squad very hard since they started practices Tuesday, Decem ber 6, and the Bulldogs have had ample time to smooth off some of the rough edges that naturally oc cur at the first of the year. Com menting on tonight’s tustle, Mr. Canipe said that the team as a whole will be much lighter than usual, and for that reason they will have to rely on superior speed. A glance at the roster which appears elsewhere on this page shows that several of the boys are six-footers, however, and that they stack up pretty favorably with other con ference high school teams in weight. Building around three regular lettermen who have returned this year—Bill Furr, Lewis Morgan, and Buck Mabry—Coach Canipe has developed a team which has been showing up unusually well in practice sessions. Two newcomers GIGANTIC POLL (Continued from Page One) 25 thought so; 73 didn’t think; 1 thought it was a city. Question: Is Hitler a man or a Duse? 99 said he was a rat; 1 said he was a skunk. Que.stion: Will Communism spread? 29 said there was a chance; 70 said it was too thick; 1 said he preferred jam. Question: What is your opinion of the whole thing? 40 comment ed “Well—”; 59 preferred to think it over; 1 had gone to sleep. (There’s a radical in the bunch!) Three Gridders Mentioned For All-State Honors Three members of the varsity football team during the season just past. Bill Furr and Buck Ma bry, stellar backs, and Ted Wal lace, 60-minute guard, were rated as worthy of all-state recognition in a sports release appearing In state papers recently. All three of these boys have sparked the play of the team this season. Furr and Mabry are twelfth graders, while Wallace has one more year of conference eligi- All opponents of the Bulldogs this year with the exception of Asheboro, a team which the Bull dogs rolled over 35-0, placed mem bers on the roll. Albemarle, how ever, was the only team to place as many as three. The second-place Orphans from Childrens Home, conquerors of Al bemarle 13-6 and losers to Lexing ton, placed Bobbie Templeton, a triple-threat back, and Thurmand Darnell, another back. Rex Lewis at halfback and John McCrimmon at tackle were the only members from Barium Springs, 12-0 win ners over the Bulldogs in the Homecoming Day celebration No vember 24. Rating mention from Badin, Al bemarle’s traditional foe, were Kirk and Folgia. Shirt Allen, a one-man offensive threat, and Les ter Williams, a 190-pound tackle, were Concord’s contribution. Oth ers named were Bill Walter and Buck Williams from Monroe, Carl Bowen from Salisbury, Marvin Cress from Spencer, and Privette, guard, from Statesville.
