February 9, 1940 THE FULL MOON A. H. S. SPORTS BULLDOG BARKS jridders Guests At Davidson Accepting an invitation from officials of Davidson College, Jack Iastevens, Bill Furr, and “Buck” Mabry, three of the season’s star ootball piayers, journeyed to Davidson last week-end. Approximately • 00 boys from all parts of the state were guests of the college. The Toup was entertained at a dance on Saturday night. rhey Missed Their Bait When it was announced last Wednesday that there would be r- no school, Coach Canipe said regular basketball practice would be held as usual. Some of the boys, trying to be early birds, came to practice ' before time. After throwing snow balls and playing around, they ; decided to get Coach for once. Some three or four large sized snowballs were rolled up and carried up on top of the walk-way ' that connects the gymnasium to the school building. After the boys had been in the snow for some time, Coach came in through ■ the front door of the gymnasium and the snowballs were useless. Which Did They Play, Barium or “Burn-em”? After the loss of the midget’s football game this season with Barium Springs, some old gentleman came up to Mr. Gehring and "'aid, “Too much Burn’ em Spring.” This statement remained fixed firmly in Mr. Gehring’s mind that when Albemarle journeyed over ;:.o Barium the other night for a basketball game, he stopped a man Statesville and asked him which road led to “Bum’ em Spring.” Almond Leads Scoring With 97 So far this season high scorer for boys is Keith Almond, with 97 points, followed by Skin Mauldin, with 37. For the girls, Ramelle Burleson leads with 69 points, and Helen Russell is a close second with 68. Victory was really appreciated by both teams Friday night, when hey won over the “Spiders” of Concord. The girls were especially oleased because Concord’s “Spiderettes” had not lost a game until ,hey met Albemarle girls. Now the "Spiderettes” are begging the ,'iris’ team to please beat Statesville (the only team that stands i ;heir way for the championship!) Notes From The Girls' Gym ,j After riding all over the city of Winston-Salem, the girls’ basketball team finally decided to stop at the Palace Cafe, in order to get royal food. But instead of royal food they got “raw” hamburgers. " Part of the girls, not being able to eat hamburgers, stopped or at the Dixie Diner and learned how to divide a glass of water into four parts. (If you care to know, ask some of the squad and Miss Milling.) Anne Gilliam, in such a hurry to see the beginning of the ^ boys’ game at Childrens Home, dashed out of the dressing room and was quickly informed that her sweater was on backwards, i: “Things done by half are never done right.” Bet some of you don’t even know that our co-captains for the jirls’ team are Josephine Whitley and Ramelle Burleson. ^ Hallie Lowder’s rabbit’s foot has seemed to bring good luck, be- _:ause the two times it has been worn the games were won. (Is it the "abbit’s foot or the faith that is put in it?) Hazel Starnes’s fly tackle in the game the other night didn’t prove n^ucce.ssful, because she discovered two bruised knees the next day. More Notes From Same Anyone that says Coach Canipe is bashful is crazy! Going to the Barium Springs game with his car load of girls, ’ he really showed them he could sing, and you should hear him whistle in two tones!! Helen Russell, star forward, was talking backwards after the game Friday night. She kept wanting to play the slot-machine (which was really a nickelodeon, and when the waiter came up to get her order for ice cream, Helen asked, “What kind do you i: want?” The waiter, wanting to be polite, meekly answered, “What kind have you got?” Well, er—Helen didn’t get her ice cream. Three Trophies Won By Neiters Are On Display In Library Bulldogs Head Into Home Stretch With Record of Two Against Four The three trophies captured by Bulidoss Divide Pair Bulldog netters in the first annual South Piedmont conference spring tennis tournament held at the Monroe Country Club in May of last year are on display in the library. These trophies are gold figures of tennis players mounted on black bases. They were won by Bill Mann in the boys’ singles, Jose phine Whitley in the girls’ singles, and Hazel Mauldin and Wilma Morton in the girls’ doubles. This the first year of the tourna ment, and Albemarle won three of the four titles. One of these champions, only _.ie, Josephine Whitley, will be back to defend her title. Bill Mann freshman at Carolina, Wilma Morton is at W. C. U. N. C., and Hazel Mauldin is working. “Smiling Jach^’ To Take Over Tennis Welcome, coach! With thi« announcement make known an addition to coaching staff in the per»on “Smiling” Jack Tillotson, ' will replace Eddie Gehrii >ach. J the p I. have EAST or WEST IT makes no difference. He’ll wind up where there are real bargains, anyhow! Morrow Bros. & Heath Co. Football Players Receive Letters Referring to them as the “best team in the history of Albemarle high school”, Coach Clyde Canipe presented football letters and cer tificates of award to 18 members of the squad at an assembly pro gram just after the holidays. Commenting on the past season, during which the team compiled a record of four victories against two defeats in conference competi tion, Mr. Canipe stated that he had been proud of the performances of three players in particular: Creel Lowder, who played in every quar ter of the entire season, and Bill Furr and Dick Foreman, who play ed 35 of the 36 quarters. Members of the squad who par ticipated in at least 18 quarters and were thereby eligible for mono grams were Bill Furr, Buck Ma bry, Creel Lowder, Bob Young, and Lafayette Blackwell, all backs, and the following linesmen: Max Mor ton, Dick Foreman, Max Fesper- man, Ted Wallace, Ernest Knotts, Jack Castevens, 'Thomas Hatley, Bcb Morrow, Fred Albright, Lewis Morgan, Wade Denning, Royce Watson, and Jimmy Peck. Commenting briefly on the fu ture, Mr. Canipe stated that seven I of the present squad would be lost by graduation, while eleven would ' eligible for further competition. With Lexington High When the Bulldogs meet Spencer tonight in a doubleheader, they will be beginning the home stretch of the season with a conference record of two wins against six The girls’ team has been slight ly more successful, with a record of three wins against five losses. While neither of these records is too impressive, it must be remem bered that the Bulldogs have been thrown against three of the lead ing teams of the loop, and that after tonight they will begin what is by far the easier portion of their schedule. -conference competition the boys have been successful in winning three out of four games played. Foes which they conquer ed include Presbyterian Junior col lege, Harding high and Badin, with the single loss being obtained in a return game with the Golden Rams of Harding. In a doubleheader against the Indians of Lexington high Tuesday night, the Bulldogs divided the pair, the Albemarle girls winning their one-sided contest, 39-10. With almost any combination of for wards which Miss Holt chose to use, the girls seemed able to score almost at will. The half-time score was 24-5. The boys’ game was one of the best seen in the local gym this year, as the rampaging Indians were hard-pressed for a 31-26 vic tory. Bill Furr had another of his ‘big nights’ to lead the Bulldog scoring with 6, while the Indians were paced by McGinn with 8. The Lexington boys jumped to an early lead with several long shots and they were never headed. They led 24-13 at the half. The old Orphan jinx seemed to catch the Bulldogs as they dropped a doubleheader to the Barium Springs teams in the Barium gym last Friday night. The Barium lads and lassies had captured a doubleheader from the Bulldogs earlier in the season, and again it seemed that the Bulldogs could not cope with their deception and The local boys lost by a 32-50 _.ore with Lewis of Barium high scorer of the night. The Barium Teachers Learn From Examinations, Too Some of the teachers discovered me very interesting facts while looking over their examination papers for the past semester.' Miss Milling tells of the follow ing boners made by her science class: The attractive force one body has for another is called love. If a barometer is falling rapidly, thermometer is approaching. Some of Miss Holt’s physical ed. students seem to have gotten a bit mixed up. Someone put a “coggie” wheel instead of a cart wheel, and ‘chess” pass instead of a chest Mr. Gehring learned that: An important event during An drew Jackon’s administration was that his nickname was “Stonewall” Jackson. (Continued on page four) girls took their end of the double- header 43-24, with Coppedge of Barium leading the scoring with 23. The crowning achievement of the season as far as local rivalry is concerned was the double-header triumph over the Concord Spiders Tuesday, January 30. The Albemarle girls really turn ed on the power to bowl over a previously unbeaten Spider sextet 33-29. Rachel Burleson and Helen Russell tied for top scoring honors with eleven each, while Bassinger and Privett led the Spiderettes with 10 each. The boys had little trouble in disposing of the Concord team for the second time this season, win ning 31-21. Keith Almond made over half of the Albemarle scores, running up a total of 19 out of 31. Skin Mauldin was next with 5. Don’t Worry! We Can Clean That Spot In a Jiffy!
