G. H. S. GAGERS WIN
FROM RAMSEUR IN A
WELL PLAYED GAME
RAMSEUR PLAYS WELL
While No Single Player Stars, the
Whole Greensboro Team Plays
Superbly Throughout Game
The local Pli cagers shook off a long
losing streak Tuesday night, February
15, at Caldwell Gym by defeating Rani-
seur in the first game of the cham
pionship series.
Taylor and his boj's fought hard for
the victory. The game opened with one
of the most furious starts that has
ever been made by the local squad.
Ramseur was also playing stellar bas
ketball. The half ended with the score
18 to 18.
Greensboro opened the second half
with a fast passing attack that baffled
the visitors. The locals took the lead
in the early part of the second half
and led throughout the remainder of
the game. When the pistol cracked,
Greensboro had the big end of the
44-31 score.
No one man could be given more
credit than the other members of the
team, for the team worked as one ma
chine. Brady was high scorer for the
visitors with 17 points, while Taylor,
for the locals, had 16 points to his
credit.

MANY FOULS ARE MADE
Friday night, February 18th, a scout
rally was held at Mclver School. Many
parents were entertained at this an
nual meeting. Stunts were given by
each troop in the city.
This was the largest rally ever held
in Greensboro. Six troops were there
one hundred per cent strong.
Among the stunts presented by va
rious troops were: rope-making, knot-
tying, the campfire seat, pyramid-build
ing, artificial constellation-making, and
drilling. Each stunt was followed by
the troot) yell. The audience showed
its appreciation by loud applause.
MEETING OF TRACK MEN
HELD TO PLAN SCHEDULES
Coach Urges Boys to Run a Little
Every Day and Keep
Strict Training
ARE PRACTICING AT FAIR GROUND
On Monday, February 14, a meeting
of all boys interested in track was
held in room 106 at 3 :45. Coach Lam
bert urged all the boys to start train
ing and to run around a little every
day. He asked every boy to try to
get another boy out for track. He out
lined the schedule for the spring meets.
The first meet is to be held on March
19th at Davidson.
As the boys are unable to get the
stadium to practice in until March 1,
they are at present training at the
Central Carolina Fair Grounds.
Prospects for the year seem to be
very good. There will be more candi
dates out when the basketball season
closes.
PLAN HIGH SCHOOL
CAGE TOURNAMENT
Duke University is completing plans
for a Southern High School basketball
tournament some time in the near fu
ture. Invitations will be issued to all
state champions in the southern states.
The teams will be kept at Duke Uni
versity while they attend the tourna
ment, and the only cost will be the
railroad fare. The games will be
played at the Durham High School
and at the gymnasium at Duke.
This is something new in the South,
and officials at Duke say that if it is
a success, they will try to make it an
annual affair. The southern colleges
hold a tournament each year in At
lanta.
Spring football has been progressing
rapidly and with the summer weather
which was enjoyed during the past two
weeks as an aid. Coach Coletrane has
had 'a group of hoys for a workout
every afternoon. The new' material
has been initiated into the game and
are brushing up on the fundamentals
so that they will be able to fall right
in line wdth the old members of the
squad at the first call next season.
In a recent copy of Pine Whispers,
the Winston High publication, w'e find
that Winston now boasts a w’-restling
team w’hich is dated for a meet with
the Carolina freshmen. It is a great
step in high school w'ork w'hen the
indoor sports are developed along with
the outdoor major sports. We wdsh
Winston a great deal of success in this
new' venture and maybe, someday, wdth
a new' high school and a gym, Greens
boro may also have a try at this sport.
A new' high school reminds us that
the good new's has come that High
Point is scheduled for a new home in
the near future and that the plans are
now' w'ell on the w'ay.
With all the celebration of King Cot
ton, we w'onder if someone couldn’t
start a cotton game so w'e could be pa
triotic to the old south in our sports
as W'ell as the social w'hirl.
Strange how' styles w'ill change; have
you noticed the decrease in the num
ber of knickers around the academy?
The school changes along w’ith the
rest of the w'orld; this is sho'wn in the
absence of sports at the lunch periods.
Any of you old-timer students remem
ber the thrilling volley-ball games un
der the direction of Ponzi Dorsett and
Mr. G. B.?
Another radical change has taken
place along this line in the last year.
In February of last year, barn-yard
golf w'as starting into public favor and
to w'alk across the campus meant dodg
ing a horseshoe. Times have changed.
Now' you try to dodge the crow'd and
wonder how' far it is to the street so
you can get out of the mob.
This problem of traffic is getting se
rious and the one solution that w'e see
is to install a subway and elevted sys
tem. Each student w'ould be provided
with tickets at the opening of the day
and for a small price get a guarantee
for a safe and prompt delivery to his
class.
The basketball season is fast draw'-
ing to a close and all of the high
schools in the state are preparing to
turn to the great American game of
baseball. Greensboro as yet has not
seen any signs of baseball, but on a lit
tle investigation it is seen that the
prospects for this year are much bright
er than they have been in recent years.

G. H. S. went one step further and
w’on the championship of Group 1 Sat

High Point 29-13. Having been beaten
tw'ice by High Point in pre-champion

floor w'ith determination to w'in and
W'ill they did by a great majority.
The teams seemed to be very evenly
matched in the first quarter, but after
this the Greensboro team forged ahead
and there w'as never any doubt as to
w'ho w'ould be victorious. G. H. S.
put five men on the floor w'ho completely
out-passed, out-shot, and out-generaled
their opponents, w'ho furnished a very
good team.
John Sockwell proved to be the high
score man for both teams. He caged
fourteen points, including six field
goals. There w'as, how'ever, no out
standing performer on either outfit.
By margin of their victory, G. H. S.,
W'ill meet the winner of another group
to decide who w’ill go to the semi-finals
in the w'estern half. The outstanding
opinion is that the locals w'ill go
straight through to the semi-|finals,
finals, and then, the State champion- '
ship.
