THE POINTER
Wednesday, Jan. 16, 1929
Joke Editor: Why should basket
ball be called the king of all sports?
Because it’s played on courts.
When are Guilford Hawks not
Hawks?
When the High Pointers make
doves out of them.
Head lines seen in local paper:
Jolly Funeral Held.
Forward Passes in City. (We
think this should be on the sport
page.)
Wanted: Room and board by a
young man with a private family.
(Ad in Enterprise.)
SHO KAY
The talk of the Older-Boys’
Conference was a prominent Alor-
ganton man. So says our last week’s
The Pointer.
Harry Coble: Are you a woman
hater?
Sam Clapp: If she’s a teacher,
I am.
Governor of Arkansas (examin
ing Del Hick’s handbag): Is this
where you carry your knowledge?
Del: No, my make up!
Here’s hoping that the teachers
won’t take Thrift Week so seri
ously as to practice too much
economy when they go to grade
examination papers next week.
THOUGHTS ON BASKETBALL
I had a card from Wade Marlette
the other day saying that the
basket ball season he had ordered
from some mail order house up
North had come, and that he’d be
awful glad if I’d step around some
time and look it over. Being as this
is Thrift week, I was kinder sorry
for Mr. Alarlette to waste so much
postage, since I had already seen
in The Pointer that Mr. Mar-
lette’s order had been received,
and invitin’ every body to come
out to inspect it.
Anyway, I thanked Coach and
told him when I got ready to air
my prejudices I’d come around,
which I did.
The other night I attended a
basket ball game, and received the
shock of my life when I discovered
that it was a ladies’ game. I was
actually ashamed of those girls,
young women for soothe, fighting,
snatching, wrestling with one an
other. I did feel awful sorry for Mr.
Stookey out there all by himself.
And when I learned that the game
ended with everybody m peace in
stead of in pieces, I thought that
if Mr. Hoover’d get L. L. to re
write this Kellogg Peace Act that
Cal’s wrestling with now, there
wouldn’t be a hitch anywhere.
The boys’ game was terrible.
Why those big husking lads jumped
on each other and wrestled and
tackled each other something aw
ful. To my mind it’s the most un
mannerly of all sports. What with
the yelling, and the slapping of
hands, and the grabbing the ball
without so much as saying “Pahdon
me.” Once or twice I did notice our
men would say, “It’s your turn
now,” and give Guilford or Greens
boro a chance. But lawsy, they’d
grab the ball out of their hands.
and the whole thing would be to
go over again.
I asked someone on the side lines
to explain a play. “It’s a foul, dum-
bell,” he answered awful courteous
like. “Well,” I snapped, “This is
my idea of a foul game anyhow.”
And I asked him If he’d excuse me
I’d go home and write my re
actions. Which I did.
OPERA WEEK CREATES
INTEREST IN SCHOOL
(Continued from Page 1)
Italy, for shortly after 1752 It
swept Paris. Mozart introduced It
into Germany. As for England, the
opera came in its first form as the
masque opera, but several in
fluences, such as the Puritan op
positions to all English stage works,
made to stunt its growth. This was
not to continue, however, and the
opera triumphed even over the
opposition.
In America, William H. Fry was
a pioneer In the field. His most
successful work, “Leonora,” was
produced m 1845. Among the more
recent works are Walter Dam-
rosch’s “The Scarlet Letter,” and
“Cyrano,” and “Natoma,” and
“Madeleine,” by Victor Herbert.
Mr. Herbert was one of the most
successful! of all American light
opera composers. He wrote the
popular “Naughty Marietta.”
Among his rivals in the field are
Reginald DeKoven, composer of
“Robin Hood,” and John Philip
Sousa, famous band master.
Among the famous operas which
are now being presented in Greens
boro are: “Carmen,” “Aladame
Butterfly,” “Faust,” “Aida,” and
“Rigoletto.”
Lost, yesterday, somewhere be
tween sunrise and sunset, two
golden hours, each set with sixty
diamond minutes. No reward Is
offered, for they are gone forever.
Cultivate the habit of saving.
It pays big dividends.
Spend but do not waste; save
but do not be a miser.
