Captain Of ’50 Team
Winning- their respective events
in almost the same time -were little
Don Rogers and C. L. Corn. Rog
ers, -who went through hunger and
sweat last week to get down to
his fighting weight of 103 pounds,
pinned Terry of Roanoke in 2:55
minutes of the second period. Corn
got by his man, Chitturn, in a
better time of 2:45 in the second
period of the 112 pound bout.
Leading “Magician” of the night
was 128 pound Coffee, conquerer
of Baird last year, who pinned
Jack Willis of the locals in 1:45 of
the first period.
Before the match began, team
members selected Darrell Winslow
to represent them as captain for
the coming season. He has been a
member of the team for the past
three years, and will be leading one
of the finest wrestling squads in
the state.
Greensboro Match Next Week
The Bison also had a match card
ed with the Da-vidson Frosh last
night, but results were not avail
able at press time. They will not
wrestle again until Thursday of
next week when they meet the up

here in the local gym. Everyone is
urged to come out and support
the team.

After getting off to a blazing
start the Junior Varsity is now
settling down to what should be a
great season. Coach A. J. Honey
cutt’s charges have powered over
two foes while losing to only one.

the exception.

Roach, George Bright, Bill Culler,
Ken Welch, Billy Jones, James
Delappe, Donald Levina, Bobby
Davis, Dickie Hayes, Marcus

and any boy wanting the job
Should see Mr. Honeycutt.

more basketball team has been
organized and is now playing
regular games with jayvee teams
of other schools, with home games
being played in the Junior High
School gym after school. The start
ing five consists of Douglas Low
ery, Donald Paul, Jack McDowell
Douglas Cooper, and Tommy
Wood, who have carried the bulk
of the scoring in previous games.

The first intramural class
tournament is over, and the ever-
powerful seniors have emerged
victorious again. The seniors com
pletely outclassed the sophomore
“Seymours” to win 18-10 going
away. Joyce Mellis had 6 points
for the losers. Joan “Slats” Crow
der and Nancy Beck -were the big
guns for the upperclassmen, with
eight points each. Doris Craven
added two points to complete the
scoring. The team is ably filled
out with Jo Auman, Tommie
Lentz, and Anne Shipwash at the
guard positions.
To gain the finals, the seniors
had previously defeated the jun
iors 8-6. Beck, with six points,
took scoring honors for the win
ners, while Gwen Reddeck led the
“Cyclone Sadies” with four points.
In other games, the sophomore
“Wildcats” defeated the freshman
team in a close-guarding game
in which Peggy Withers sank a
lone foul shot for the only score.
The “Wildcats” then lost to the
sophomore “Seymours” led by
Mellis and Ernestine Baker with
eight and six points respectively.
The final score was 16-6, with
Withers tallying four points for
the ’Cats.
Two teams of varsity players
have been selected from these
class teams. The roster is not
final and complete yet, but most
of the following girls will see
plenty of action in the varsity
games this season: Nancy Beck,
Doris Craven, Joan Crowder, Co-
leen Ward, Anne Shipwash, Joyce
Mellis, Gwen Reddeck, Billie Ann
Slate, Sue Gatton, Joanne Mere
dith, Henrietta Howell, Catherine
Frye, Jo Auman, and Ernestine
Baker. Three teams of junior
varsity players will be picked
from the remaining girls.
The varsity, an outgrowth of
the intramural system, does not
play a regular schedule, but meets
only a few teams which have a
similar athletic program. A home
game with R. J. Reynolds has
been carded for February 4, and
a tentative game ■with Greensboro
for the last of January is being
planned.
The games are played on Tues
days and Fridays at 3:30 p.m.,
so if you’d like to see some
“really exciting, high-class bas
ketball,” watch for an announce
ment about the next games, and
drop by the gym some afternoon.

A certain young sandy-haired
individual has, of late, caused
quite a few eyebrows to raise in
local basketball circles, as he has
dropped in point after point in
each basketball contest. For those
who haven’t recognized the pic
ture, we are speaking of Jack
“Stilts” Powell, who has been
playing forward on the local bas
ketball team as it hasn’t been
played in some time. For example,
“Stilts’, in the N. C. Pre-Season
High School Basketball Tourna
ment, scored 65 points in three
Bison games for an average (if
my arithmetic serves me correctly)
of 21.7 a game. In all his games,
up to press time, he has amassed
a frightening total of 170 points,
an average of 21.3 points a game.
Jack has played varsity basket
ball three years. He got down Jo
business early, making the var
sity his first year in high school;
making the first string his second
year out; and this year for the
second time, holding a place on
the starting five.
In other sports the boy with
1,000,000 (not an authentic count)
freckles has done all right, too.
He has pitched a bit of baseball,
played right field in his spare
time, and has done a fair amount
of hitting.
Current
Comments
Entering the mid-century year
of 1950, High Point High School
can well be optimistic about an
other banner year in sports. The
basketball team has already won
state recognition for its champion
ship victory in the Pre-Season
Tournament held here in the clos
ing days of ’49; and, as a result,
is the favorite for top honors in
the Western Conference.
Some people wonder how Coach
Simeon continually manages to
produce winning teams, but most
local Bison fans are familiar with
the capable plan existing in the
High Point school system.
Young prospects first begin
their training with Coach Ray
Correll at Junior High. A regular
schedule is played with other
teams of the same calibre from
the surrounding schools in this
district, and last year the local
five was State Junior High cham
pion. Also holding daily practice
in the Junior High gym is a team
made up of sophomores under the
direction of Coach Carroll Bowen.
This squad travels with the Junior
High team and plays junior var
sity teams of other nearby
schools.
The ’50 edition of the Black
Bison is a shining example of
this building program. This year’s
squad lists the names of four
sophomores and five juniors.
Backing these is a score of
other underclassmen on the Jun
ior Varsity. Under the guidance
of Coach A. J. Honeycutt, this
team usually plays in the opener
before varsity games. There is
keen competition among the Baby
Bison because those showing the
most ability are often sent up to
the varsity.

Reserves Expected
To See More Action
Friday night the High Point
High Black Bison -will journey to
the “land of the sky” to battle a
quintet of maroon devils. In case
you’re wondering about this busi
ness of devils in the sky, the Black
Bison will tangle with the Ashe
ville Maroon Devils; but from the
way the Bison have been rolling,
it looks as if the gentlemen in red
underwear will have their pitch-
forks full.
Record for the Season
This season the High Point five
have begun fairly successfully,
having rolled over Fayetteville,
Durham; and in the finals defeat
ed a tough Wilmington quint in
the Pre-Season North Carolina
High School Tournament. In other
games they have trounced Lexing
ton, Gastonia, Charlotte; and lost
to Roanoke and the Carolina
Frosh.
Reserve Strength
Though the Bison have relied
heavily on the first string for
most of their games, the reserve
strength begins to loom more pow
erful as they gather rnore and
more experience. Ken Frye, Larry
Rhodes, Leonard DeLappe, and
Joe Robertson have all looked
promising in brief appearances on
the hardwood. The big question
mark on the Bison squad is Yates
Adams, who has not exactly set
the world on fire, but has the
potentialities of a steady perform
er under the basket. Dickie Hayes
may see some action next semester
when he becomes eligible to play
varsity ball. Dickie has not been
back in school a semester yet, and
under conference regulations an
athlete must have established resi
dence for an entire semester to be
eligible.

Intramural League
Gets Underway
On the opening night of the
intramural basketball season four
clubs were in action. The “Key
Club” had little trouble in out-
scoring the “Curley Cues” by the
margin of 33 to 20. The “Willey
Wild Cats” handed the “Blue
Notes” a hard upset in a one-sided
score of 30 to 8.
All regular games are played
with six minute quarters and
championship games with eight
minute quarters. There are four
teen clubs that make up the intra
mural league.
