November 2, 1948 THE POINTER Page Three Just as quite a few plays end, this one did too, with everybody piled on one guy. Charlie Bryant (No. 25) just wasn’t aiming to let that fellow by. Flapda (No. 55) and Harlon Burton (No. 46) rushed in to make themselves obnoxious, while Bob Hayworth wanted to make sure everything was under control. No. 30, Bill Ring, pauses before the pounce. Bison opponents: Charlotte Wildcats. Final score: 13-7, High Point. Razzle-Dazzle Bison Down Maroons To Lead Conference The “Land of the Sky”, Ashe- ville, N. C., furnished the scenery last Friday night for a football tilt between the Black Bison of High Point and the Asheville Alaroon Devils, which saw the Bisons snatch the Western Con ference lead. Greensboro High suffered defeat at the hands of Salisbury; Burlington wound up second in the loop with three wins, on0 loss, as compared with High Point’s four wins and a single loss. j Charlie “Choo-Choo” Jones and Allen “Pholonzo” Smith shone for the locals in the Friday night tilt, each scoring twice. Charlie Bryant three out of four extra points, while Bill Ellington and Wheat Miller offered smooth backfield performances. The Bison line was consistent and hard- driving which amounted to a nice showing for the locals. After racking up a substantial lead, Simeon called upon the re serves, who saw more action against the Maroons than any team thus far this year. No in juries were reported as a result of the battle, with the exception of a slight internal injury suf fered by left-halfback Smith, which was ably attended to by Coach Simeon on the field. Player Award Ballot To Appear In Pointer Mr. Brooks Reitzel, a repre sentative of the local American Business Club, which annually awards the “Most Valuable Play er” trophies to a Bison lineman and back selected by popular vote, has arranged with the Pointer to publish a ballot in the next issue. In previous years the ballot has appeared only in the High Point Enterprise and voting has been done in a downtown drugstore; but this year. Mr. Reitzel states, the ABC's desire a greater and truer representation of the high school. A ballot box will be placed in one of the towers, and voting will begin on November 22. GYM SHORTS Under the guidance of Miss Ann Upchurch, in her second year as physical education instructor, the girls’ gym classes have started off with a bang this year. When it isn’t raining, the girls go out and play soccer, (a mild form of let-the-ball-go-its-more-fun-to- kick-each-other.) When the weath er does not permit going outside, the girls play volleyball in the gym. Occasionally the girls and boys have a co-ed class in square dancing. _The .Girls’ Athletic association held its first meeting of the year on October 5, when the members organized and took the club pledge. The organization is ably headed this year by Doris Craven, president: June Bivens, vice-presi dent; and Anne Shipwash, secre tary. Already a good number of girls are out for the soccer team, practicing on Monday and Tues day afternoons: but Miss Up church says many more are needed before a n intramural program can be worked out.

Up in the ctands there’ll be thousands of Bison fans. Ditto for Greens boro. So head-cheerleader Peggy Layton asks that HPHS rooters “get there early, know the yells, and maintain a top-notch organ ized cheering section. Let’s show G’boro that ole HPHS spirit.” Reprinted below are some yells that’ll probably “see a lot of ac tion” Friday night. Know them? Hidi, Hidi, Hidi, Hey Hidi, Hidi, Hidi, Ho.

P. H. S. siports. REMEMBER THESE EX-BISON? Billy Ray Hunsucker is current ly playing plenty of ball for the Catawba Indians and it was mighty good to see Bill with the old team as he kept yardage at the Salisbury game. . . “Bean” Campbell, former top Bison line man, is showing flashy line play for Lenior Rhyne. . . Jack Hinkle joined the pro-ranks of baseball . . . T. C. Isom, last years plung ing fullback, is sweating it out in Texas with a U. S. Air Corp Crew. . . We can’t forget Jack White and Nelvin Cooper who have started hardwood practice at Elon. . . ! IT’S THE TRUTH. . . Of the first string football team we have only two foreigners, one is W. B. Miller, born in the town we can’t forget. . . Burlington. . . The other is one of the “touch down Twins”, B. J. Mickey from Mineral Springs. However, the other nine are “local boys made good”. . . Roy Bragg (so they say) accused Bill Saunders of him on a sucker play— Seaweed” must have taken the word too literally. . . REVIEWING. . . uwere underdogs in &ames, first to a 200 lb.

So, finally, against Burlington, ole HPHS is labeled the favoriteis. The winner? Not US’ but the underdogs. . .

M., Friday, Nov. 6, for this annual football classic between the Guilford County arch-rivals. To provide further interest, it proves to be High Point’s gala Homecoming game, and a capacity and record crowd of 14,000 fans is expected to turn out. Thoroughly warned and alerted for the forthcoming storm, the Black Bison footballers are wind ing up practice sessions before the tilt this week. Weather-men Tony Simeon of High Point and Bob Jamieson of Greensboro both are promised “slightly warmer” competition than each has been offered thus far this year, as far as Western Conference competi tion runs. In previous years since Jamie son and Simeon have faced each o+her across the gridiron field, the games amount to a tie. Simeon took the reins against the Whir- lies in ’45. at which time the Bison were victorious for the first time in a number of years. A tie re sulted in ’46, and a ’47 Greens boro victory evened things up. Its the game Friday night that “tells the tale”. Its rather gener ally conceded that there is no favorite when it comes to HP- G’boro, partly because it is some what a matter of team morale and breaks. Weather Forecast: Slightly dis mal in easternmost city of Guil- f o r d County beginning about li:00 p.m. on Friday night and continuing. As to how the two teams stack- up for the H. P. Homecoming event, let”s “take a gander” at the players. At ends, Greensbop has two top-notch flankers in Charlie Thacker and Sid Villines, defense experts, while High Point endis Ken and Illard Yarborough, shine equally bright on offense. In the tackle slots, Whirlies Wright Archer and Bob Barham will find themselves facing bur ly Truitt Grant and either Bob Hayworth or Charlie Martin. Both teams are loaded at guard. High Point’s Harold Auman and Bill Saunders, two big-built fellows meet Co-Capt. Jim Finison and a guard named Bruce Guard. Backing up the line is Bison center, Jim Allen, whose size seems to be no handicap. He op poses hard-driving Mike Myers. While the “Blue and White” run from the tricky “T”, Greens boro’s power lies in a double wing also. The Whirlies speedy wing backs are Bobby Enochs, Boibby Watson and Howard Muse. The Bison are boasting “touchdown- twins”, Joe Mickey and Charlie Jones. The all-important quarter back battle finds Tommy Ward (G’boro) and “Wheat” Miller in a “brain-battle”. For scoring punch, the fullback posts of highly-touted Bill Ellington, of H.P. and equally well-known Joe Attayek will be closely watched. Of the two teams, only Attayek and Truitt Grant remain from the original ’45 teams.
