The second team of High Point
high school tied the Thomasville
eleven Friday afternoon by the
score of 7 to 7. The game was fast
and well played, with the Pointers
outplaying the Thomasville team.
However, they were unable to do
more than tie the score. High
Point’s score came a few minutes
after Thorhasville had made theirs
as the result of a pass to Ingram.
In the first quarter Thomasville
Intercepted a pass, and carried the
ball within five yards of High
Point’s goal, but a pass was
knocked down over the goal line,
and High Point received the ball
on the twenty-yard line. Thomas
ville got the ball again on a
fumble and started another march
down the field. This time Sizemore
intercepted a pass and circled right
end to carry the ball forty yards
up the field. But the Pointers could
get no further up the field and
were forced to kick.
The teams punted back and forth
in the second quarter with neither
team being able to gain. High
Point kicked off in the second half,
and Webb, substitute for Thomas
ville, carried the ball sixty-five
yards around right end for a
touchdown. The extra point was
counted on High Point’s disobeying
a rule. A few minutes later with
gains from Willard and Sizemore,
Ingram grabbed a pass to score
High Point’s touchdown. He also
made the kick for extra point.
The Pointers were playing at
their best In the last quarter and
kept the ball near the Thomasville
goal, but were unable to score.

The High Point high school
soccer team took their second game
from Greensboro high by the score
of 5 to 0. The Greyhounds kept
the ball in Greensboro’s territory
most of the time, only the sluggish
playing of the line keeping the
pointers from rolling up a large
score. Both fullbacks played well,
while Coble did nice work at right
half.
High Point kicked off in the first
quarter and quickly scored a goal
before the Greensboro team could
get started. The Greyhounds were
unable to score again during the
first quarter, although the ball was
kept in the vicinity of the Greens
boro goal.
The locals scored three times in
the second half and halted every
Greensboro attempt to score. One
of the visitors, in an attempt to
block a kick for a goal, butted the
ball; but it struck his head and
bounced on through for a goal.
High Point made their last score in
the last quarter to bring their total
up to five. The game ended with
the ball still near Greensboro’s
goal.

The High Point high school
hockey team lost the first game of
hockey ever played by the High
Pointers to Winston-Salem on Eri-
day, November 9, by a score of
2 to 1. From the minute the first
whistle blew to the end of the game,
no one was able to tell who would
win. The local girls gave Fligh
Point an especially good showing,
holding so well such a fast team as
that of Winston.
High Point started the game off
in a rush, with Clapp scoring dur
ing the first five minutes of pHy^
During the entire first half, the ball
was kept in High Point’s territory
most of the time. Winston made
one goal this half.
Winston came back in the second
half with the determination not to
be beaten. During the first part of
this half the ball was kept in the
center of the field, neither team
being able to get through the strong
defense of opponents. About the
middle of the half Winston got
through High Point’s defense and
scored.
The High Point girls were more
determined than ever to win. They
fought their very hardest, and soon
Clapp again sent the ball through
the goal posts; however a High
Point girl was off-sides and the
point could not be counted.
Every member of each team
played a clean, hard-fought game
Special credit goes to Clapp and
Dot Smith of High Point.
