of 22-21—Greensboro High Keeps
Leads at First
The Purple and Gold basketball
teams were losers in both games of ai
doubleheader held at Caldwell School
on Saturday night, January 7. Both
games were very exciting and Greens

scores. In the first game the Purple
and Gold midgets went up against the
quintet from Draper who proved to be
too strong for them and they lost by a
score of 21 to 17.
The second game proved to be the
climax of the evening. Greensboro led
the strong Maroon team from Leaks
ville by a two point lead at the end of
the first half. The second half opened
with a rush. Both teams made several
goals but Greensboro managed to keep
a few points ahead until the last few
minutes of play. Leaksville got away
for several points and Greensboro went
down by the score of 22-21. Both
teams showed up well both in guarding
and the ability to make goals but there
were no outstanding players on either
team.

MARK LAMBETH IS TRACK COACH
Greensboro High considers herself
lucky when it comes to track this year
She has every ietter man back and
some good men who came over with
Pomona students. Carroll Weaver and
Herbert Johnson are letter men hailing
from Pomona. Besides these two, there
are Belinger, Motsinger, Whitehead,
Parris, Fruit and Hodgin.
With a fine group of boys and such
a good coach as Mark Lambeth, Greens
boro is planning to take many honors
as the cross-country runners have been
working since fall. Many of the track
men are working and practicing daily.
Clarence Phoenix will head the track
team as captain. He holds the half-
mile state record. Greensboro High is
proud of Phoenix and is expecting much
from him.
Greensboro will enter the following
meets: Davidson Wake Forest, Guil-
ford, Chapel Hill, Civitan (to be held
in Greensboro), triangle with High
Point and Winston-Salem.
Because Greensboro enters only a
small number of boys in these meets,
one or two dual meets are being
planned with other teams.
Boys out for track are: Lindeman,
Williams, Goodwin, H. Johnson, Da-
vant, D. Quate, R. Quate, Brooks,
Bilmer, Parker, A. Johnson, Le Porte,
Weaver, Taylor, Belinger, Latham^
Pope, Phoenix, Homey, Carver, Mont-
singer, Biggs, Robinson, Burroughs,
Brown, Petree, Bowman, Rives, Stone,
McLean, Williams, Whitehead, Parris^
Fruit, Hodgin.
THOMASVILLE FIVE
DEFEAT RESERVES
The Purple and Gold midgets went
down in defeat to the Thomasville
Orphanage quintet by a score of 27 to
15. The game was interesting and both
teams showed good form. Greensboro
put in a large number of substitutes
but the team from Thomasville Or
phanage never seemed to be in danger
of losing the game.
Wyatt Taylor will be captain of the
Purple and Gold basketball team this
season. This will be the second year
that he has led the Greensboro quintet,
and the third year on the team. Taylor
plays center and forward and is a good
shot from long distance or under the
basket.
Besides being a basketball star of
renown, he is an excellent football
player and a dependable pitcher on the
baseball team. He has made his letter
for two years in football and also two
in baseball. He has proved to be one
of the most outstanding athletes in
G. H. S. and is one of the few three-
letter men.
Taylor is a member of the student
council, representing the Boys’ Athletic
Association. He has served capably
although it is his first year on the
council.
Last year he led the Purple and
Gold basketeers into the final round of
the N. C. State College tournament,
only to be defeated by Raleigh. In the
state championship race the team de
feated seven teams before being downed
by Leaksville.
LEAKSVILLE VICTORIOUS
OVER PURPLE AND GOLD
One of Hardest Schedules in Years Is
Mapped Out for Gate City—Coach
Expects Big Season
Greensboro High’s basketball team
has become strengthened by five first
string men from Pomona. These men.
Weaver, LePorte, Nicholson, Nelson and
Curtis, were the only men returned
from the Pomona squad. The Greens
boro High squad now runs up to about
15. Fifteen men, including the Pomona
quintet, are on the first squad and play
all of the games scheduled for the first
team. The remaining 20 men, or the
second team, play all of the games
scheduled for the second team, includ
ing games scheduled for Pomona. Since
the addition of the Pomona games, be
sides the new games that have been
secured for the teams, Greensboro faces
one of the hardest schedules in years.
There is almost an average of three
games a week for the boys alone. Al
though the teams have had a rather
slow start this season, much is ex
pected and Coach Parks has high hopes
of winning the championship.
Basketball Schedule
Bits-o’-Sport
The Girls’ Monogram Club has more
than doubled the number of members
this year, and three girls have state
monograms.
What has happened to the “Cheer-
ios”? There are very few at the bas
ketball games, and there is very little
organized cheering.
With the addition of so many stars
from Pomona, G., H. S. ought to have
championship basketball teams.
What has happened to the “Spirit
of G. H. S.”? The basketball crowds
are mighty small. Is that the love
spirit? Let’s “back all our teams!”

Girls, don’t be surprised if Carl Lane

works, if you have anywhere near
enough for a “G,” especially if you lack
only training or hiking. She’s out for
at least 20 more monogram girls. She
says you’ll miss loads of fun by not
being in the Monogram Club—as well
as plenty work.

Emile Hodge, boys’ student trainer,
talked to the girls’ basketball team
Friday, January 6, at the Y. W. C. A.
about training for basketball. He
brought out the following points: Sleep
at least nine hours every night, attend
no social events while in basketball
training, eat no candy or nuts. The
squad has planned to have a first aid
girl this year. Rose Goodwin, who has
passed the First Aid badge in scout
work, will carry a first aid kit to all
the games and doctor the girls. Emile
has offered to give other equipment for
the use of the team.
After this talk Miss Nellie K. Dry
made some announcements about the
coming games. She also thanked Emile
for telling the girls the importance of
training.
For the remaining time the girls
practiced basket shooting, signals, pass
work and squad work.
Miss Dry told the girls that if they
work hard she would not divide them
and form a reserve team, as she has
done in the past. She also is looking
forward with great anticipation for a
winning team from the girls who have
been attending practices faithfully.
“This has been the best sport year
in five years. The girls have been
doing the work themselves and not
letting the teachers do all the work,”
reports Miss Nellie K. Dry. “All
sports have been a success.”
The hockey season was a great suc
cess. Seven games were played and
five games were won. Anna Lyon was
the hockey manager and Noble Hutch
inson was the captain. During the
season the team received new uniforms.
Over 30 girls kept training during
the fall season. This is a good num
ber,” reported Miss Mary Morrow.
The swimming team had a good sea
son. Frances Stern, manager, arranged
one game with Charlotte. Twelve girls
received 20 points for attending, prac
tice.
A number of girls passes off things
for points.
“Hiking: Some girls hiked as far as
75 miles. Miss Freeman as faculty ad
viser and Lillian Hauck as manager
helped all the girls in their hiking,”
reports the adviser.
“The basketball season has just
started. Thirty-five girls have been
attending practice regularly.
“Ruby Lee Anderson, manager, has
arranged a great number of games. It
will be a better year than last year
because we have more and better ma
terial,” said Miss Dry.
“The Monogram Club has been very
active this year. They have sponsored
a reform week and number of other
things. There are now 20 girls in the
club.”

special ritual. The president welcomed
the new girls and told them the mean
ing of their letter. “Make it a great
honor to wear a ‘G,’ by making your
school the kind whose letter you are
proud to wear,” she said. After the
ritual Miss Dry awarded letters to new
members who had not already received
them. These were : Daphne Hunt, Eliz

or two games played off each week.
