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!!!

Bison Humbled By
Fighting Indians
j
Last week the pride of High
Point high bowed in a close con
test to the Lexington Indians.
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.

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

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

scrappers and the Baby Bison
