Page ^ HIGH LIFE Friday, December Greensboro Boys Yield to Gastonia in Semi-Finals OUTWEIGHED Long Gains of Gastonia Backs Responsible for Victory. MAUS GREENSBORO STAR Purple Whirlwind Plays Good Game, But Lack of Rest During Last Week Tells in the End. The football season for Greensboro High School for this year is over. This v.nis settled on November 27 when the Greensboro and Gastonia high schools battled to a score of 10-0 in favor of the latter. When the two teams lined up for the contest it was easy to see that the Gas tonia eleven outweighed that of Greens boro. The game started with Greensboro kicking to Gastonia. Gastonia started the ball down the field and ran it up to the 4.5-yard line hut here Greensboro intercepted a pass, and it was Greens boro’s ball. Greensboro advanced the ball to the 35-yard line and here at tempted a field goal but failed. From this time on the hall was in Gastonia’s hands the majority of the time, and Greensboro took the defensive, but the playing of three liard games within sev en days told upon the Greensboro team and Gastonia, fresli, not having played a game in the same length of time, had no great difficulty in getting through the Greensboro line. The boys from Greensboro played a remarkable game, but their playing lacked the pep and vim that had taken them so far in the race for the championship of western North Carolina. Both teams played a clean, hard game and one that kept tlie large crowd that witnessed the conflict on their toes. The punting of Mans, intercepting of passes and the 12-yard pass of Mans to Wim- bish were tlie features of the Greensboro eleven wliile the amazing plunges and gains of Shelton, Frederick and Jack- son, all playing a type of high school football that is not usually seen, featured the Gastonia side of the conflict.

H. S. HOCKEY TEAM PLAYS THE S. P. GIRLS Score Tied 1-1—Both Teams Play Well —Goodwin and Chandler Make Goals. The girl’s hockey team tied with Southern Pines Friday, Nov. 20, at Southern Pines. Clean, hard fighting featured the entire game. When the final whistle blew, the score was 1-1; but, since this was Southern Pine’s first liockey game, the tie will not be played off until Dec. 11, at Greensboro. Good win starred for the locals and Chandler for Southern Pines. I.ine-up: Greensboro Southern Pines M. I.yon Silver R. W. Hood Morow R. I. E. Crews Mayes R. F. Applewdiite Chandler R. H.

The Winston field was the scene of the conflict. After a very hard- fought battle Greensboro came out vic torious. R. IJpscomh starred for Greensboro when she, as the ball started through the goal, blocked it and drove it to the other end of the field. Dorothy Lea and Rose Goodwin scored for Greensboro. TEAM BIDS GRID TDGS FAREWELL To Some it Meant the End of Their Career—Equipment in Bad Condition. Along about the last of September approximately 40 strapping young ath letes filed out of the new building with brand new football equipment and some of the left-overs that came out of last year’s season fit to be of service again. The exijressions on the faces of the boys as they trudged out, laughing and jok ing the while with their companions, was one of determination and aspira tion; determination to get out there on the field and work to develop into a smooth-running, hard-working, efficient team, and aspirations that saw a vision of championship series. The equipment, were it endowed with the power to speak and express, would, no doubt, have told a different story. Possibly they surveyed themselves and admired their bright newness and cleanness; then, per haps their minds turned to less pleas ant thoughts. Unlike the boys whom they would adorn, they dreaded the im pact on the hard or muddy field and the impact produced when the signals were given to “hit the line.” Monday, November 30, these same 40 strapping young athletes filed into that same Room 10 in the new building, drag ging behind them the same—surely not in appearance—equipment that went out in September. The expression on the faces of the boys—what story did it tell? A rather sad story. The end is always sad, somehow. To some of the boys it meant the end of their high school football career, to others the end of this season, to a few less fortunate the last time they would be able to wear the beloved outfit. It is difficult for an outsider to presume to express the inner most feelings of the entire team at this particular time. Again, si^eaking of the equipment, it was not able to admire itself for its beauty and newness, perhaps, but it could wel be proud of the valiant, clean, hard- fought atliletic feats to which it had been a part. There is still another view of this mem orable performance—memorable to those who participated in it and to those who witnessed it. It was the privilege of the High Iufe staff, since the publica tion room is opposite Room 10, to wit ness this. Mere mention of the fact that members of the staff considered it a privilege is sufficient proof of their feel ings. 129 GIRLS CONFORM TO TRAINING REGULATIONS One hundred and twenty-nine high school girls have decided to live up to the following regulations of training for three months: 1. Three regular meals. No tea or coffee. No eating between meals except fresh fruit and milk. 2. Six to eight glasses of water daily. 3. Forty-five minutes exercise in fresh air daily. 4.

TIE IN TIGHT TUSSLE Both Teams Exhibit Remarkable Type of Football—Interest Intense to Last Minute of Play, Friday afternoon Nov. 20th, at Cone Park, the Purjile Whirlwind and the warriors from Monroe battled to a 0-0 tie. The game was one in the elimina tion series and was one of the most hard fought games that has been wit nessed at Cone Park between high school elevens. The game was marked by the star jilaying of Griffin of Monroe and the broken-field running of Mans of Greens boro. When the game ended, Greens boro was in scoring distance of their oiqionents goal having brought the ball down the field after an exchange of punts and then thru the use of an aer ial attack. Faulkner of Greensboro caugbt a pretty pass thru center and this was what brought the team to this XTOsi- tion. Both teams played a remarkable type of football for a higb school team. The game opened with a rush and at no time in the game did either side let uji on their drive. The game was witnessed by a large number of students from both schools. It was very evident that the band from G. H. S. was also present. The line-ux) for the game was as follows: Monroe Greensboro McNully Flenderson Left End I ucker Brown Tackle Fowler Petree Guard Austin Lipscomb Center McGill j_ Watson Right Guard Herson jj. Tackle Howie Glascock End Griffin Maus Quarterhalf Morgan Strader Left Half Holleman gmith Right Half Stuart w. Watson Full Homey Shelton Stubbins checked the city again last week. MAUS IS THE STAR Both the Teams Played Well Throughout the Game. SCORED IN LAST QUARTER Large Group of Students from Both Schools Witness Game—Charlotte Students Cheer for Locals. Four minutes, not much when you think about it in the regular school clay, but that was what it took for G. H. S. to make the three xioints that gave them the oxiportunity to xday Gastonia for the Western Chamxiionshixi of North Caro lina. The game was ]ilayed at Charlotte, Tuesday, November 24, to work off the tie as tlie result of the game between Monroe and Greensboro, x^l^ye*! here Friday, November 20. Both teams x^layed remarkable foot ball. They were about evenly matched although the Monroe line outweighed that of their oxix^onents. Until the last four minutes of play it looked as if there would be another tie game, but IJxiscomb of Greensboro intercepted a forward x^^iss in mid-field and Greens boro ran the ball down to the 20-yard line where Mans, Greensboro quarter back, kicked a field goal on the first down. Greensboro was in easy scoring dis tance two times in the first half, going down within 10 yards of the goal line only to lose the ball by a fumble. Mon roe was not within scoring distance of their goal but once during the entire game. The game was marked by the stellar x^kiying of both teams'—Maus, Shelton, Faulkner and the two Watsons for Greensboro, and Snyder for Monroe. A large grouxi of students from both schools witnessed the conflict; and the members of the Charlotte High School were to be found in the Greensboro sec tion very audibly making their xJi'csence known. The comxolete line-ux:) was as follows: Greensboro Monroe Henderson Snyder (C) Left end Brown Tucker I.eft tackle Petree Fowler Left guard IJxoscomb Austin Center J. Watson McGill Right guard B. Homey Hinson Right tackle Glascock Howie Right end Maus Griffin Quarter Smith Morgan I>eft half Faulkner Hallman Right half W .Watson (C) Stuart Fullback Substitutions: Greensboro — Shelton for Faulkner, Quate for Petree, Strader for W. Watson, Faulkner for Strader, Wimbish for Glascock. Monroe—Mc- Neely for Snyder, Caxrehart for McGill, H. Hinson for McNeely, Boyes for H. Hinson. There were four high school football games played in the state Friday, No vember 20, and three of them ended with the score of 0-0. State high schools are evidently learning to x^lay real foot ball. There may be the making of an all-American team in one of these teams. Keexi at it!
