THE An active paper editeii by an active school Trade With the Merchants Who Appreciate Your Child Thru the POINTER No. 3 VOL. 4. Coach Boylin’s fast gridiron met and defeated the Spencer Railroaders on Welch field by the score of 20-0. Spencer was scored on for the second time this season having won four straight games. The Black Bi- sons have been scored on only once in their six straight victories. They were! not in danger but once or * twice, then Wail saved his team mates in the first of the game by catch'ng one of Beaver’s punts •which went almost to Spencer’s goal line. Gernander made the first touch down in the first quarter, then plac ed kicked and made extra pefint. The score at the end of the first quarter was 7-0. . ' Both elevens battled doggedly in the second quarter with the aid of long puunting and" forward passes. R. Burdetle failed to make a suc cess with his forward fames while Beaver made a few excellent ones, he made one eklra tong forward p-ss and he also made the longest puunt of the game which was 50 yards. This continued through the BLACK BISONS OVERWHEM SHE ALT’S RAILROADERS BY SCORE OF 20 TO 0 locals win sixth STRAIGHT.JUNIOR CL VSS ORGANIZES The junior class met Friday morn ing in the auditorium for the pur pose of organizing.

The referee called the game off on rc. 'unt of darkness with only two or three minutes left to play. V/all, local’s right half, played his part of the game being the second game which he had entered this season although he was greatly sur passed by the more experienced men like Captain Dallas, who can hardly be forced out of a game by being hurt. The Bison’s line was still in its rsual form of iron. Foust, who has been out the greater part of this p.'ason, was again making his beau- Hfurtgckles, he also made gains by jidvGrsflTV. In the' second single Cary defeat ed Crewson by the score 8-6, 0-2. Crowson cut up a good fight, but ow- ’rg to lack of experience was out- ilryed by his opponent. In the final singles Hackney took 'aPburv into camp in a hard fought notch to the tune of 6-4, 6-2. Sals- nirv plaved excellent tennis but was outclassed by the variety of his op- loiiCnCs strokes and Hackneys can- icn ball service. The Oak Ridge tennis team is con sidered one of the best in the state, nd c nsidering this along with the '.ct that Ihe high school boys have lever had coachin.g in this particular ine of athletics, they did exceeding- V well..

A citizen of High Point dropped into the office of the daily publication here and suggested to the sport editor a new name for-the gridiron warriors. H« - wants it called the Black Bison. We have one of.the best teams in ths state. It does not run like Black Bison, it runs like a 21 jev/el Illinois watch. The backfield sho’ do shine. They do not make better fullbacks than Tore Gernander, Joe Gleason is surely tliGi’G \vh0n thsy call for the g'-od quarter backs. We are not weak at half-back. From the time the game starts till the end, Reitzel Ridge, Skinny White, and Dick White are in there fighting for the honors. Get a tractor and try to break this line. Herb Combes. and Steve In gram at ends. Big Bert Ellington and Luke Braswell take good care cf the tackling. "When you get through these two guards we will have your picture put in the New "York 'Times. They are Red Warford and Ernest Fuqua. And Dallas can certainly gnap that ball when t.re time comes. The substitutes are always ready to fill the other man’s shoes when it becomes necessary. Blase Daniels is a dandy center. Ralph Foust is Ml all around man in the backiield. Henry Gurley is also good in the oacktiild. Builcr Johnson is hard to beat on the line. . Many other's could be given cred itable mention if the space was not li.nited. In fact the whole team gets a great deal of credit for its xcel- lent work. We feel .greatly th 1 ab sence cf Leo. Method. The manager also has done good work. We wish to congratulate J. Ward Packer for his ability as a manager. Coach Boylin has worked out a good team for the high school not to have had football for 12 years till three vears ago. It must be con sidered that his working with a new te-'m and not one that has been es tablished as many other in the states. g'-.ry'n'g the. oval by the ends and ; .ijl.uij tuin out a first class tennis ). lunges.
