FEBRUARY 14, 1949 THE POINTER Page Three Oh His Achin’ Back Bison Hit Three Quarter Mark; Honeycutt’s JV’s In Two Squads The grunt and groan artists pictured above are heavyweights Roy “King Kong Bragg of the High Point matmen and Greensboro’s Leo Siler. Bragg is doing the pinning, and from Siler s ex pression, he’s not particularly enjoying it. Weddie Huffman, director of Greensboro s Youth Center, is the alert referee. This shot of the featured bout of the evening was snapped on the canvas in the HPHS gym, as the Bison toppled the Whirlies by 44-0.

Al though suffering defeat in their previous match, the Imps are ready and rarln’. The Bison top-flight wrestlers redeemed themselves Thursday night by walloping Carolina’s freshman team 21-10. The Tar Babies hold the only victory over the local grapplers this year. Bob Baird and Bill Seckler both pinned their men, while James Slaydon and Glenn Hudson, who were de feated in the first meet, turned the tide by gaining decisions.

Boxers Capture Titles During the three eventful nights of the Golden Glove Tri- State boxing tourney, over 1200 fans jammed every available inch of the local armory for action- packed bouts. The first night saw Jeryl Hughes, 147-pound High Point High schooler, lash out with long left and rights to decision J. D. Foster of Greensboro, dropping the open class bout. Fred Glaesner, 112 pound High Pointer, fought the first bout of the open class finals and decision- ed Billy Wiggins of Greensboro. Hughes squared off with Wade Keaton of Winston-Salem in the finals Saturday night, which came out Hughes on top by T K O in (1:38) of the third round. After each fight of the finals special trophies were awarded, and at intermission the “most- popular” trophies were presented. Most of the gold loving cups were awarded on the basis of judgments by a committee of Mer cury (jlub members in the audi ence. However, the most-nopula r awards went to the battlers in each division who drew the great est applause from the audience. Jeryl Hughes of the High Point Y won the most popular trophy in the open class. Other trophies were presented to all the winning boxers who participated in Satur day night’s finals. Clip This!

Winners of the preliminaries to be held on Saturday afternoon will compete in the finals that night at Chapel Hill. En Route With The Black Bison Are we going in the “Blue Goose?” “Blue Beetle?” “the cat tle car?” “tin can?” “stock car?” These are typical questions asked of Coach “Tony’’ by mem bers of the Bison -basketball squad on the eve of out-of-town games. But, of course they always ride in “It”—“It” referring to the new blue Dodge Bison-Bus, piloted by Sergeant “You-Drive-It—I Can’t” Shields, H.P.H.S. driver trainer. 'The “Blue Demon,” loaded with baggage, the team, managers, coaches, little Jimmy, and some times Sportswriter Bill Hackney, is becoming a familiar sight on North Carolina highways. On the road to Roanoke, Va., several weeks ago, the Bison’s first ’49 out-of-state trip, the bus pulled over to a filling station for a brief rest stop. -Sarge led the march into the gas-house; and following a noisy scuffing and grabbing, an abrupt quietness en veloped the room. But Sarge, in his police uniform, caught on quickly, turned to a group of strange men in the corner and said, “That’s O.K., men. Go ahead with the poker game. I’m off duty.” Then there’s the time the “stock car” visited the Land-of- the-Sky, Asheville, N. C., for its first overnight trip. On the re turn trip, they stopped at Marion; and after breakfast, preceded back to the bus and home. But no! No amount of pulling or twisting could open the “cattle car’s” locked door. The keys were rest ing comfortably in the ignition, but the door was locked. Finally Sargeant Shields hit paydirt with power and a hacksaw. And to this day it’s still a mystery how they locked the bus with the keys inside it. The “tin can” carried the team later to Gastonia where they were met in the “dressing room” by a true-to-life (ha), honest-to-gosh coffin. It fitted Paschal to a “T,” but after the game it was only fit for the Gastonia lads. On the Winston trip the “Blue Beetle” was bombarded by a bunch of boys with snowballs; but under the protection of the “Phal- onzo Five”, the opponents were held in check. Although we talk despairingly of our “’chine”. Coach, we love the “Blue Goose.’’ BY BILL MCGUINN Reaching the three-quarter mark in their scheduled games, the Black Bison Basketeers stand in second place slot in Western Conference AA Ball, one game behind Central High School of Charlotte. Having dropped only one loop tilt to Charlotte, the conference record is seven wins to one de feat. A rematch with Central here this Friday will give the Pointers a chance to avenge their only conference blemish. Winning fourteen of the six teen games played this season, the Bison again have the usual good team. The other loss was a close non-conference tilt to a strong Jefferson High aggrega tion from Roanoke, Virginia. The individual scoring through the Wake Forest Frosh game: E, E. YOUNTS, Inc.
