Friday, October 27, 1939 THE POINTER Page Three ■>-+ Swat the Yellow Jackets Bi-Weekly Bison Sports Swat the Yellow Jackets SPORTS TO DATE Bv Bus Overcash Bison and Jackets Clash Tonight Now that the Pointer is back into circulation—this ole prog nisticator will again attempt to enlighten you on the sports pro gram of this dear ole institution 1 for higher learning. i As you all know—the Black Bison will tangle with the Yel-| low-Jackets from Salisbury to night at Minis Stadium at eight o’clock. The Bison will be striv ing to start the record of their conference slate in the winning column—after playing their first | conference encounter to a 0-0 tie with Greensboro. The question that is now aris ing in this feeble mind of mine is—Will the entire student body turn out for the parade to be held this afternoon—and will they turn out for the game to night ? Some players, in my es-1 timation should have been get ting more headlines in papers and who have not received such are: Little “Stonewall” Hay worth, dimunitive guard, who tips the scales at 127. Do you sports followers remember the fine exhibition of playing ability and intestinal fortitude that little “Jim” showed in the Greensboro fracas? I’m sure you would agree with me that he de served more recognition than he has received, if you knew that this midget had to take care of an opposing tackle that weighed in the neighborhood of 230 pounds. Another fellow who has not been mentioned enough is James Kivett, dependable and ever improving end. Although Kivett has not been on the re ceiving end of the passes as he was expected to be, he has been playing an excellent brand of ball out on the flank. So until the next issue of this paper, this ever-thinking sports writer has but one thing to say Go out tonight and back those Bison!!! EVER DEPENDABLE BLUE AND WHITE SET FDR TDNIGHT'S INIPDRTANT CDNFERENCE BATTLE Scottmen Are At Full Power For Clash HEAVY LINE BUSTER Jack Hus.sy, the big end, is one of the main cogs on defense and a dangerous receiver on offense.

The Tribe boasted one of the hardest charging lines and one of the flashiest backfields that the Bison have met this year. The winning touchdown was scored when the Indians took ad vantage of the fact that the Bi son were slightly weak in pass defense and completed one down on the Bison twelve and Shoe Carleton took it over for the score. The Bison running attack was : sparked by the triple threat, Captain Brantley Hucks is one of the big guns in the Bison attack so far this year. Probably the locals will take to the air again and the fans will again have the opportunity of seeing Captain Hucks in action as the pass chunker. Big Jack Hussey will be in rare form if his act ions in practice means anything. Last week Hucks regular out standing game was supplemented by his beautiful interception of a Lexington pass and running sixty yeards to the Tribe’s five yard line. MISS E. BALLANTINE TO SPONSOR CLUB FDLLDWING BISDN ATHLETES A gala day of homecoming for High Point high will be climaxed tonight as the Black Bison clash with the stinging Yellow Jackets from Salisbury. The Bison have had one of the hardest weeks of preparation of the year in preparation of this game. It is a most important con test both because the locals de sire to set up a good record for the homecoming crowd and be cause it may have a great deal of bearing on who will win Western Conference Honors this year. The Whirlwind of Greens boro is now on top of the heap with one win, no defeats, and one tie. The Bison are second with no wins, no losses and one tie. Tonight will determine whe ther the Bison will be in for the championship race or not.

Placards bearing the in scription: ‘I Subscribe to THE POINTER” were carried up and down the aisles by members of the student body. Mavis Walker announced that the rates for he year would be two cents per copy. The pupils returned to their home rooms where each subscriber was given a minature POINTER to wear. SUFFERS IWODEimSii The Black Bison soccer eleven after starting the season with a bang and trimming down their first two opponents in two straight games by decisive scox-es, seem to have suffei-ed a little x-elapse last week when they dropped two games straight. After the two wins at the first of the season the Bison met and bowed befoi-e the Allen Jay aggi’egation which they had fox'merly beaten in the seasons opener. Then in their next en counter the Highs were soundly whipped by the old vaunted rival Jamestown by a score of 4-1. All these games ax-e Guilford County League games and have a definite effect on the stand ing that each team is to have in theleague. The locals hope to, and are expected to break their losing streak when they next go onto the field of conquest. play because of the danger of iixjux-y before the impoi-tant Sal isbury confex-ence clash here to night. Coach Cei-nugel has stressed offensive tactics and a strong defense has been developed to back up the big push of the lo cals. The little Bison have had a most successful season, so far. They opened their playing sche dule against a husky bunch of scrappers and the Baby Bison X‘an x'ough shod over them 19-0. I think, you think, He think, all thunk, I copy, you copy.
