Black Bison Opens Western Class Slate Tonight In Salisbury Thursday, October 24, 1940 * ^ THE pointer Page Three The Grist Myi of Sports BY FATE SASSER NOTES ON THE WESTERN CONFERENCE After four weeks of combats with non-conference members, the Western Class A schools of this section will undergo real maneuvers these next few weeks as the five clubs of the loop make their bid for top honors. . . . The question is . . . Who is going to undermine the Jamieson crew in Greensboro? ... At the first of the season, the people in these parts were saying that the Black Bison of High Point should be the outfit to turn the steam on the Guilford county seat. . . . But after the tilt against the stingers of Lexington, the atmosphere has seen a great change. . . . Who is going to pull the Bison out of the dog house? . . . Will they be able to stop Salisbury today? . . . You all know that last week-end the huskies of R. J. Reynolds lost to the Davidson county stronghold 19-14. . . . These ai'e some of the many questions which will probably remain unanswered until the final fray of the season when the Scottmen en gage the Purple Whirlwind aggregation on the turb of Albion Millis stadium. . . . As all we good members of dear ole High Point high say . . . You just wait; our day is coming. ... By the way, the miller of this column picks the local lads to take revenge after their spanking last week to trim their opposition today by two touchdowns. . . . JUNE SCOTT PICKED FOR ALL-STATE MENTOR Coach June Scott was picked last week to be assistant to Leon Brodgen of Wilson, North Carolina, to coach the All-Star game that will be held in Charlotte on the seventh of December. Picked teams of the Carolinas battle it out in the annual classic that is held to see which state has the best flock of talented gridiron performers. Last year the Old North State lacked the speed to overtake the Cotton State eleven and went down 13-0. . . . Coach Scott stated that he will leave on the morning of December 2 for Charlotte, where he will remain until after the fracas Saturday afternoon. . . . Looking over the record of Coach Scott, we find that he came to us in the fall of 1938 after re ceiving his sheepskin at Furman University. . . . BERTH ON ALL-STATE ELEVEN Students, do we have an All-State gridiron player on our team ? . . . The question at once can be answered. . . . Yes. . . . Herbert Speas, co-captain of the Black Bison, who, for the past few years has held down the numbre one pivot spot for the locals. . . . Speas, to date, has proved to opponents that he is a bad fellow on defense. . . . Only the other day I heard a remark by an opposition player that he didn’t see why Herb wouldn’t be picked to do the sending-back job for the All-Star game in Charlotte. ... It would be nice for “Pimp” to receive this honor for he could make the jaunt along with the fine fellow that skippered him through most of his football days. . . . There have been a few other lads who have caught the eyes of several of the invaders. . . . Names of these boys, who will be back next year, are: Albert Evans, who would most likely receive a spot on the second team; Arnold Metcalf, who has- two more years, and who, by his last year, should be a star for every college mentor in the state, and Bud Kivett, flankman, whose hands on defense are too much for a lot of the opponents. . . . PICK-UPS FROM HERE AND THERE Greensboi’o opened its drive for honors in the Class A loop last week with, a 45-6 triumph over Gastonia, while Wilson, in the East, set the Durham County hopes back with a 14-all tie and Rocky Mount made it plain that they were out to take over top berth with a 34-0 victory over Tarboro. . . . Down in the lowlands, Wilmington nosed out Clinton, 15-13, to give the coaches in the Eastern section a little more trouble; while up this way the mentors are worrying about the Salisbury upset over R. J. Reynolds. . . . Oh, yes, be sure to look at the sports page of your morning paper next Saturday;; the Crimson Tide of Durham battles the Blackbirds of Rocky Mount in Durham to see which club will be the winner of that division. ... I pick Rocky Mount by two or more touchdowns. . . . That’s about all for this issue, but I will see you in two weeks, so keep us in tune. . . . The Miller VIBRATIONS FROM THE FEMS by Thelma Weekley These Huskies Open Drive In Gridiron Loop The husky group of lads you see above are the members of thfe Black Bison Varsity aggregation that invade Salis bury for their first Western Class A Conference combat this fall Thursday night, October 24 at 8 P. M. Reserves Host To Lewisville Today At 4:00 P. M. FRAY IS JUNIORS’ THIRD OF SEASON; Won 1 Lost 2 Per Cent .333 Bison Stops Bulls; Stingers Down Pointers RESERVE MENTOR Hi, lassies! Autumn is really here with her rainbow hues, nip ping air, budding romances, and soccer. Home room teams have certainly blossomed out. There are five sen ior, 11 junior, and eight sophomore home rooms participating in the sports whirl. All in all, there are 150 girls taking part in intra-mu ral sports. Ladies, we’re proud of you. This afternoon on the turf of Senior high practice field the Junior Varsity will play host to a strong Lewisville , eleven, the starting whistle to be blown at 4 o’clock. Today’s tilt will find the local midgets entering the fracas on the underdog list, as the strong Lewisville aggregation have rece ived only one defeat against three victories. The invading Lewisville crew will out-weigh the locals by ‘ several pounds and this is one reason why they have been pick ed to defeat the Baby Bison. Coach Cernugle has put his boys through tough drills this week in preparation for the en counter this afternoon, with the invader, whose record the local mentor would like very much to knock a gap of defeat. In order to do this the huskies have been sent through tough drills this week on blocking and tackling, being the head line for each scrimmage. DUNKLEBURGER CAPTAIN Little Donald Dunkleburger has been named to the captain the team against Lewisville today, succeeding Ben Cooper and Ray Keever in that capacity. Coach Cernugle has divided his team in to two squads to play against each other in practice maneuvers. On the first crew are. Brown, Cooper, Keever, McPherson, Ha worth, Brewer, Dunkleeburger, Foister, Hucks, and Johnson; while Tabor, Furguson, Grogan, Williams, Pendry, Medlin, Peace, Crowder, Kivett, Morgan, and Da vis will compose the second team. Hucks provided the only score in the game with Clemmons, as he took the pigskin on a reverse, and galloped 74 yards to score stand ing up. Clemmons rolled to all three of their touchdowns in the first quarter. Two of their tal lies came on passes and one on slant off tackle. High Point open ed the second half with long drives, but falied to reach pay dirt. SCHEDULE OF THE HOMEROOM SOCCER TOURNA MENT IS AS FOLLOWS: MONDAY, OCTOBER 28 310-209 versus 316-309 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29 304-107-203 versus 305 CAFE versus 101 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30 314 versus 205 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31 201 versus 104 311 versus 301 Come on, girls, turn out and put up some real competition. Soccer makes you exercise and exercise removes that excess poundage caused by over indulgence in choc olate creams. Sixth period gym class certainly does wham that poor old soccer ball around. It takes special pun ishment from Margery Macy, ace full-back. She puts plenty of power behind her kicks and sends the ball too far up the field for the opposing team’s comfort. Jewel Myers has a good dribbling tech nique that makes for goals. Second period class is experi menting with hockey and are greatly baffled as to why they can’t hit the ball with both sides of the stick. Until the light dawns, woe unto the shins. Hikes are underway and we really have^ fun? Convenient per simmon trees, singing, and a gay crowd always promises a frolic. Girls, you really outdid your selves in the parade. Costumes were unique and snatches of foot ball songs added to the spirit. The stadium was crammed, but the yelling was a little dispirited. There was even a shortage of cow bells. Come on, lassies, co-operate with the cheerleaders and put some of the old fire and ginger into those yells. Back up the team and show them we really appre date them. Next game, give the (Continued on page 4) Coach Tony Cernugle above was named for the second year to men tor the.Reserves with his assistant Reed. From the result last fall the Northern gridder did a great job. SOCCER HORNETS HOST FRIDAY NIGHT Next Friday night the High Point Black Bison invade Charlot te for a non-conference engage ment with the Hornets of Central High at eight o’clock in the Ameri can Legion Stadium. The locals will be out for the hide of the stingers, who last year ran the opening kick-off 96 yards for their only score. The tilt under the arcs will mark an annual meeting between the two institutions that goes way back to the open days of football. Athough the Bison have shown power in se veral of their conflitcs this fall, they ente'r the fray as underdogs against the strong Meckenburg county aggreation, whom the Bi son have pounded it hard to under mine since the autumn of ’38. This is the sixth non-conference game of the year. The Bison have won four and lost two games, and are going to try to end up the non-section tilts with a victory Fri day night. For next week the Bi son close their manuevers vdth non-loop members as their sche dule calls for division frays. For the first time in years.

The High Point backs ran wild in the game with Burlington, as Marshall, Evans, Short, and Met calfe scored touchdowns. The Bi- n offense clicked perfectly, and the only yardage gained by the Bulldogs was through the air. As a result of the game with Burling ton, High Point was ranked ninth among other high school teams in the state, just behind the Purple Whirlwind from Greensboro. When the Yellow Jackets of Lex ington trotted off the turf of Al bion Millis Stadium, Lexington had held a track meet at the ex pense of the Bison forward wall. Ramrodded by Billy Myers, the Yellow Jackets rolled to six touch downs, while the Scottmen, in scor ing upon Lexington, performed a feat which no team has been able to accomplish this season. The highlight of the game from the Lexington observer’s viewpoint came late in the final quarter when, behind perfect blocking, Billy My ers took the ball 52 yards to score. A High Point fan’s conception of the game’s highlight would be Larry Hodgin’s recovery of a fourth period fumble on the Lex ington 20 and the pass on the next play to Hodgin in the end-zone for six points. In this game, several good pros pects for the All-State team were seen. Short, Speas, and Kivett showed up well in the High Point line-up, while big Bob Bencini showed great promise, as time and again he broke through to nail the Lexington runner. Billy Myers of Lexington is a sure-fire candidate for a berth on the All-State team, while Clark, end, showed much promise, both on defense and as a pass receiver. YELLOW JACKETS OLLER MANEUVERS T IN El Several Stars Will Miss Fray Tonight With Injuries By FATE SASSER Sports Editor Heated by the smashing de- feaet that the Lexington eleven handed them last week, the Black Bison journev to aUsbury this evening to tan- g'e with the Yellow Jackets* in a hoof and hug fray on the turf of Catawba College Sta dium at 8 o’clock, in their first Western Conference appear- :>nce. The Bison, at last, have found a team that they are on par with. In all the preceding games—except one—they have been the under dogs. With the defeat they received at the hand of Lexington last week the experts pick the Bison to take revenge out of the Stingers hide in what should be a battle to the final minute. This game will de termine whether the Scottmen will make it a two-way fight for the state laurles, with the Rowan county aggregation holding a vic tory over the highly-rated eleven from R. J. Reynolds. This is the second Western Con ference tilt for the Salisbury crew. In their first loop combat with R. J. Reynolds high of Winston-Sa lem last week, they defeated the Tdbacco City lads, 19-14, in what was a surprise to the gridiron fans of this section. The trouncing over I [ the Smith troupe sent the Salis bury gridders into a two-way tie for first place berth in the Class A standing for this division. Greens boro is co-owner.
