One grand rush at the beginning of j the contest and the High Pointers , found themselves 5 points worse off: POINTERS LOSE TO TWIN Cin QUINTS Winston’s Varsity Piles Up Score of 30-19; Second Team Wins 22-13 High Point High's cagers showed poor form against the inston-Salem teams here last Friday, and as a re sult dropped two games, the reserves’ scoring 22-13; vrasity, 30-19.

Winston scored first on a toul goal, and Sensenbach quickly tied the 1-1 to 12 in favor of the blue white. Harris, lanky High Point forward, had that left iiand of his working and fooling the Durham guards, and ran up 9 points during the course of bat tle to help hold the precious lead of two and three markers fained in the second period. The Pointers’ defense was working right, and the Durham boys had to take long shots to get anywhere at all- Sizemore figured in the defense, using his height and reach to capture the ball from the backboard in the enemy’s territory. In the last few seconds of play the Bulls flashed one desperate at tack on the locals that High Point couldn’t quite handle, but the pop gun settled that rally. Tilley was the backbone of the visitors’ attack, holding down his guard position and scoring 7 points for Durham High score honors.

The local girls, however, were more sure of their aim and had accounted for 6 goals before tlie visitors had accounted for one. At the end of the first half, it looked like a sure victory for High Point, as the score stood 12-0 in their favor. But when the second half started, the tide changed. Faster and faster the Alexander Wilson score crept up to High Point’s. The playing became quicker and the spectators grew tense. Instead of playing for time, the High Pointers tried to in crease their scoring. Had the time been a fraction of a minute longer, the score might have turned out dif ferently. But the whistle sounded in the nick of time and the day saved for High Point. McKee, who was high scorer for the locals, played a game that was marked by its cleanness and square ness. Stout as usual played a strong- defensive game. D. Forward and Liar mon divided guarding honors, the former keeping her forward do\vn to onl}^ tw.o points, while the latter was wide awake in her defensive work. For Alexander Wilson, Neece was the most outstanding player. She scored 14 points for her team.

It seemed that the Pointers were kept busy most of the time clamoring around Gastonia on tip-toes trying to recover the ball, but the visitors would just reach over their heads and shoot and shoot. The end of the first half saw High Point coming around the corner that Gastonia had long ago passed. When the second half came around High Point was more helpless than before, because those green clad boys were just warming up- They kept right on making their shots good and when the end came around. High Point saw them disappearing over the horizon. Henson and Smith for Gas tonia used their height to aid in scor ing. The former made 15 points, the latter U.
