Friday, December 15, 1939 THE POINTER Page Three SOPHOMORES UNDERGO PHYSICAL EAMINATION The physical education depart ment under the direction of Phy sical Director A. J. Simeon, is sponsoring physical examinations for all the sophomore class. Since the sophomores are the only ones who participate in physical educa tion, they come first. It is hoped that sometime in the near future it will be possible for the entire student body to be examined. The main object of these examinations is to find the physical defects of the students, and to let the student learn that the doctor is a friend—and not a fellow to be considered an enemy. A statement will be issued for every student who is examined, telling the conditions of that stu dent. Steps will be made to per fect all the physical defects that occur. The doctors who are working on examinations are local doctors do ing the job—gratis. Coach Simeon stated that the examinations will be continued until sophomores have been ex amined—and possibly all the stu dents. MERRY CHRIST.MAS ADDITIONAL SPORTS Miss Melton Honored •J J SEASON’S GREETINGS Just Want To Wish You A Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year —and— To let you know that we apiJreciate your business. mcR issiy py» IN * The third annual Shriner’s all- star game of outstanding high school performers in North and South Carolina was played in Charlotte Saturday, December 9, as South Carolina took her first victory, 12-0. High Point was well represen ted by Big Jack Hussey and Cap tain Brantley Hucks. Hucks did not play in the game because he was called down late to fill the place of an injured North Caro lina player, and before the game, the injured player recovered, thus making it impossible according to the rules for Hucks to play. Hussey upheld the honor of High Point admirably by himself, however. He was, according to commentators over the radio and prominent sports writers through out the state, “the most outstand ing man on the North Carolina squad.” He was the only man on either team to play the full game with out any relief. He was brilliant on receiving passes ,and was a fast and dangerous defensive man. From the first, he was the man to watch. The most spectacu lar pass he caught was good for over thirty yards and he was covered well by South Carolina men. He distinguished himself by receiving a fumbled punt, thus affording North Carolina the first decisive break of the game. In spite of the fact that North Carolina did have several good breaks, and oft-times had the ball deep in South Carolina territory, it seemed that they lacked the power and the deception to push the ball over for a score. The squad was drilled by Coach Tom Young of Lexington whose fine Indian, team did not lose a single encounter last season, and was conceded to be the best high school team in North Carolina. APART FRl VARSITY Coach “Gil” Reed’s little Bison of the basketball court are fast taking shape in preparation for their initial contest which will take place soon with an undeter mined opponent. Up to the present time the drills of the Jr. Varsity have con sisted mostly of passing and dribbling and the fundamentals of the game. Coach Reed said that the candidates are fast show ing improvement and he is opti mistic for their future. The squad is strengthened by the reporting of many of last year’s Jr. high school team, which enjoyed a fine season. The Jr. squad will entertain the local varsity fans during the season by playing preliminary games. Last season these games featured a strong sophomore team against outside rivals and the feature contests were added to considerably by the play that was exhibited in the preliminary games. The Jr. Varsity serves much the same as the midget football squad which is proving quite valuable in training men. MERRY CHRISTMAS Listen to this: “Violet Yokely is still fighting for jersey no. 33. It might be no. 1 now that basketball is started. Also listen to this—^Why does Bill Currie in sist upon having this in?
