IN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
Unleashed a Passing Attack That Was
Impossible for G. H. S. Boys to
Stop—Score 40-22
G. H. S. GIRLS VICTORS
OVER ALUMNI 26 TO 23
The girls’ basketball team defeated
the alumni of G. H. S. at Mclver School,
Friday night, March 4. The game was
hard fought, as the score was tied al
most throughout the game.
In the last quarter the G. H. S. team
picked up, defeating the alumni 26
to 23.
Chandler was the star of tlie G. H.
S. team, scoring 16 of the 23 points.
Greensboro High School was elimi
nated from the race for the state cham
pionship title when they were defeated
by the Leaksville High by a 40 to 22
score on February 25 at IVinstoii.
The Leaksville qiiint unleashed a
passing attack that is seldom found in
high school circles, and it was impos
sible for the Greensboro boys to solve
the attack. With Hamerick and Ed
wards as the two outstanding stars and
long shots and dribbles, the Greensboro
Highs were left at the sniidl end of a
very one-sided score. Taylor handled
the ball well for G. H. S.

SIX OLD-TIMERS ELIGIBLE
Team Has Best Schedule it Has Had in
Several Years—Some Over-Night
Trips Are Expected
Coach Homer Coletrane issued an or
der in chapel Monlajp Marc h7, for all
boys who can either hurl or stop a
ball to report for practice. Coach
Coletrane has only five letter men back
to build his team around, but he saj's
there is much good material from Buf
falo and many substitutes from last
year.
“Sparky” Jones will be back at
short-stop with his usual stellar play
ing. “Pete” Wyrick will cover the key
stone sack. “Pete” is a dependable hit
ter and will boost the batting average
of the team considerabljc “Lefty”
Whiteheart will handle the initial bag,
although he isn’t so tall, he’s got the
power to jump for anything, high or
wide. Herman Gardner will be push
ing him for the job. Wyatt Taylor is
the only eligible pitcher, but the oppos
ing batters know that he is a “holy ter
ror” when it comes to striking them
out. Horace Pennington is another
good infielder who can fill in either
at short or second.
The team has one of the best sched
ules it has had in several years. Sev
eral overnight trips are on the sched
ule.
Athletics around the high school re
ceived a decided setback during the
past week due to the heavy snowfall,
but even though the weather made it
impossible to carry on actual workouts,
many plans were disclosed for activi
ties in the spring.
The Civitan Club has taken an active
interest in high school athletics for
some time and has been especially ac
tive in promoting track work. This
club has sponsored for the past sev
eral years a western North Carolina
track meet which has formerly been
held at the Central Carolina Fair
Grounds, but this year AAuth the com
pletion of the stadium the club has
decided to make an even larger event
of this and will hold a state-wide track
meet in the early spring.
Saturday night, March 5th, at Chapel
Hill, Durham High School basketball
team defeated Asheville High School
and won the title of state champions
at basketball. This is the third time
in the same number of years that the
Tobacco Town has won this title. It
just looks as if this town has the ma
terial that it takes to make a basket
ball team. The game was a hard
fought contest and several times it
looked as if the Maroon Devils were
going to step into the lead and carry
home the banner of champions. Both
teams played a great brand of basket
ball, but the boys from the Mountain
City seemed to be a little lost on the
large court.
Due to winning from xAsheville, Dur
ham will represent North Carolina in
the Southern tournament to be held at
Duke University in the early spring.
A round-robin hqnd-ball tournament
is being sponsored by the Y. M. C. xY.

progressing slowly in France. Last
year six clubs, made up mostly of
Frenchmen, disputed the championship
of Paris. Four more clubs have ea-
tered the Paris bush league for the
1927 season.
