KERNERSVIILE EEHM
IN EVO GAME SERIES
The Greyhounds of High Point
high school defeated the Kerners-
ville soccer team both times in a
two-game series, Tuesday and
Thursday afternoon, each time by
the score of 3 to 0. The whole team
played together nicely, the line
making pretty passes to each other
while the backfield was impassable.
The first game was played at
Kernersville and High Point was
able to score only one field goal.
The other two were penalty kicks
when fouls were called on the op
posing players.
Thursday afternoon Kerners
ville came here and again were de
feated. Although the Yellow Jack
ets fought hard they were no
match for the fast Greyhounds.
This time two goals were scored
from the field and one was made
on a penalty kick.

Squad to a Score of 2 to 0
Hedrick Stars for Locals
The local hockey team played
the strong Winston squad to a
scoreless tie on Thursday, No
vember 15, in the hardest fought
game of the season.
The first half was a series of
dribbles and drives from one end
of the field to the other. Only once
or twice during this half did either
team threaten to score. The half
ended with the score of 0 to 0.
High Point came back in the
second half more determined to
win than they had been before.
Several times they rushed the ball
near the goal line, but were unable
to send it through the goal posts.
At one time during this half the
ball was in two feet of the goal line,
but the High Pointers could not
get it through the strong defense
of Winston. Neither team was able
to score during the entire game.

The Greensboro Daily News, in
writing up the game, said the fol
lowing: “High Point exhibited
greater power throughout the route.
Bryant and Kearns proved High
Point’s real threats, and inci
dentally, these boys are about
as good as anything in the state.
They came back for the second
half, and smashed and dashed their
way through the Purple and Gold
in sensational fashion, to give their
team an even break. The work of
Farlow, Hinkle, Bulla, and Hankins
stood out m the Pointer line.
GIRL RESERVES MAKE
BACKS FOR BOOKLETS
Miss Albright demonstrated the
process of making backs for poetry
books In the Girl Reserve meeting
November 8. They are made by
slipping a piece of white construc
tion paper into a pan of water in
which oil paints have been dropped.
The colored paper Is used for the
backs of booklets in which choice
bits of poetry are printed.
Not only is the paper used for
poetry books, but dso for sEa-
tionary and covers for many kinds
of booklets.
Sidelights On The
Game
The High Point hockey team lost
a hard-fought game to Greensboro
Tuesday, November 13, by the
score of 2. to 0. The local girls
played a hard game, but were un
able to equal the speed of the more
experienced Greensboro team.
During the first half the ball was
played between the two teams.
Neither team seemed able to get
the ball near the opponent’s goal.
The half ended 0 to 0.
The second half was a different
story. The Greensboro girls came
back with more speed and vigor
than they had shown in the first
half. The ball was kept in High
Point territory the greater part of
this half. The first goal was made
near the beginning of the half. This
seemed to stimulate the Greensboro
team, and soon the ball was again
rushed down the field for a second
goal. The High Pointers then awoke
to the fact that they were falling
short and the last few minutes they
played a strong defensive game.
Probably the greatest hindrance
High Point found in making a goal
was the outstanding work of Davis,
Greensboro’s goal keeper. Time
after time, the High Pointers would
rush the ball near the goal, only to
have it sent back up the field by
the goal keeper. Goodwin and
Barbee for Greensboro, also did
some excellent playing. The most
oustanding player for High Point
was Captain Hedrick. She was by
far the greatest ground gainer on
the field.

FIRST CALL ISSUED
BY BASKET BALL COACH
The first girls’ basket ball meet
ing of the year was held Tuesday
afternoon with about forty girls
present. A great many more girls
will probably be out later, after the
hockey and volley-ball season
closes. Miss Henderson expects to
hold a few pre-season practices for
those girls who are not practicing
hockey or basket ball. After their
other sports are ended, she plans to
organize different teams and hold
regular practices daily.
PEP MEET IN CHAPEL
BEFORE FOOTBALL GAME
A pep meeting of the student
body to stir up enthusiasm for the
Greensboro-High Point champion
ship football game was held in the
auditorium Thursday morning, No
vember 15. Sam Winslow, school
cheerleader, led in the yells while
Mr. Stookey directed the songs.
The members of the football
team assembled on the stage, and
several of the boys spoke, urging
the students to attend the game.
Three or four members of the stu
dent body and of the faculty also
voiced their sentiments as to the
game. Mr. M. L. Patrick displayed
the new High Point high school
pennant, and announced that they
could be purchased down town.
Before the meeting the members
of the hockey team appeared on the
stage and announced the hockey
game for Thursday afternoon. They
also invited all the students to come
and help cheer them on to victory.
What I know about football
wouldn’t fill a nutshell. Yes, that s
exactly what I know about ite
But even though I don’t quite ge.
the hang of it I enjoy going to tht
games. I’ll tell you why. A football
game is about the only place I
know of where you can talk and
chew gum to your heart’s content
right under the faculty’s nose with
out having to run down and explain
to the office force about it.
Well, Friday, having an extra
supply of Wrigleys, and having
been in an unusual talkative mood,
I decided that the most appropriate
thing to do was to attend the
High Point-Greensboro game, since
everybody seemed to be headed In
that general direction of Winston-
Salem, and I wouldn’t have
had anybody to talk to, and chew
with if I hadn’t gone. So I went
thereto.
Due to a slight delay, by the
time I had arrived at my destina
tion most of the H. P. H. S. and
G. H. S. had already assembled
themselves upon the bleachers.
Naturally, at once to my Ups arose
the question, “Where am I going
to sit?’’ for even then I had a faint
idea that maybe I’d do eleven
hundred students the honor of
writing for them an article on
“Happenings on the Sidelines,
so I had to be where I could see all.
For some time, I with a couple of
companions whom I had found on
the way out, wandered up anc
down in front of the bleachers look
ing for a place where we might sit
down to rest, but in vain sought
we. Eventually, two dear baby
freshmen, perhaps noticing that
one of my companions was a young
lady of some note, slid down a foot
or two, and the three of us wedgec
ourselves into the small space so
humbly vacated by the lads.
Unable to see the game, I turnec
for the first time, to examine my
neighbors. On the left were my
two companions, and knowing them
already I spent no time in watching
them. To the front there was
nothing but that moving mass of
human beings, and so I was not
able to progress far in that direc
tion. I turned to the right and
suddenly my gaze was again ob
structed by something huge.
Thought I, could this be another
mass of people? Then I came to
my senses, and realized that it was
merely a girl, but she was by far
the largest girl I have ever seen.
She was pretty though, with a
rose leaf complexion, and rosy
cheeks, and lips that looked as
though they had been “kissed by
strawberries’’ etc. Her arms were
smooth, white, and well rounded.
But what attracted me more than
anything was her voice. It was so
sweet and soft and babyish, and
she lisped slightly. Oh, she was a
dear one, boys.
It took too much of the energy
that I wanted to save for some
rooting for the team to turn far
enough, and to see those behind
me, but I was vaguely conscious
through the excitement of watching
the game which I could now see
quite clearly, that the person who
sat directly to my back wore very
sharp-toed shoes.
Before I hardly realized it half
the game was over. During the
intermission I sat chewing my gum,
and staring into space, when sud
denly there crossed before my
vision two figures that to my far-
off mind seemed familiar. I im
mediately brought my reasoning
powers back to the present, and
realized that one of the figures was
Miss Louise Shipman, smiling “full
simple and coy.
But the game had again begun,
and I was soon so interested In
watching a certain party win a pair
of shoes that I was oblivious to all
around me. However, I was In a
few minutes rudely called back to
my immediate surroundings by my
fat neighbor who wanted to know
If I knew HIM. I hadn’t the
slightest idea about whom she was
talking so I asked her which one—
thereupon she pointed out Charlie
Kearns. I informed her as to that
gentleman’s name, class, and so
cial, moral, and scholastic standing
in our school—Well, she wanted to
know, and I had to be polite.
“Isn’t he the handsomest thing?’’
she cooed, and her voice sounded like
wind whistling down the chimney
flue in winter—you know, soft and
musical. I didn’t answer her be
cause I was too busy watching the
Greensboro folks foolishly yell their
heads off when they knew that
they hadn’t a chance In the world
against us. Well, she didn’t seem to
notice that I was occupied. She
continued to rave so I finally gave
ler one long chilling look, and told
ler that I already knew that
Charlie was a handsome brute, and
would she please quit trying to tell
me. That silenced her for a while,
3ut during a very tough scrimmage
she turned to me again to ask if
they were fumbling the ball. I
ladn’t informed her that I didn t
mow anything about football, so
I acted quite loftily, and told her
sarcastically that I didn t know,
and if she wanted me to, I d run
aown and find out, but she didn t
seem to catch the joke at all. She
looked at me kind of wonderingly
and turned away.
Well, this Is getting rather
lengthy, and I still haven t im
parted much information about life
along the sidelines, but I naust
stop. Perhaps I’ll volunteer a little
more information another time.
