RIGHT CHURCH BUT THE
WRONG PEW
A crowd of girls started to Reidsville
the other night to support their fond
team at a basketball game. In spite
of the rain and snow, they continued
on their way. Arriving in the fair
city, they inquired the way to the said
game. “Two blocks to the right, one to
the left ,and then to Clark’s Ware
house,” were the directions. These
members of the fairer sex did as they
were told—for once—and left the car
in which they were riding. They boldly
walked in the warehouse to give their
lungs a treat. To their surprise, there
was not a single person there they
knew. One of the members of the
party asked who was playing. Well
here they had gone to a game of two
factory teams. Stranded in a strange
city alone and darkness everywhere
the poor dears were frightened greatly
Well, at any rate, they got to the
game they wanted to see, even if they
were terribly late.
REDWAY AND COLTRANE
COACH G. H. S. WRESTLER
Greensboro High mat men have
again taken up work after “laying
off” for a couple of months due to
a lack of candidates. The grapplers
work out every aftemoon at the
“Y” under the coaching of Redway
and Coltrane.
The G. H. S. lads are not as yet
well organized, and it is not known
whether any meets will be secured
this season. However, the boys
have given some exhibitions and
will give more in the future. .Las.i.-.
siter and £Il,eg:g.gave an exhibition
bout recently at a meeting of the
local American Legion. Lassiter
and Brp,oks ,gave an exhibition be
tween halves of a recent basketball
game. More work of this kind will
be forthcoming.
Those out include Jinimy Lassi-
ter, James Clegg, Louis Brooks,
Eric Whitworth, and Carlton^
Wilder.,

Friday, January 20, the new mernbers
of the Girls’ Monogram Club came to
Greensboro High School wearing their
dresses backward and their stockings
of different hue. Their books were
carried in pillow cases. They were
being intiated.
Saturday night, January 21, the ini

G. H. S. walloped High Point High
School Wednesday night at Caldwell
gym by the score of 29-15. This was
the first victory for the Purple and
Gold basketeers during the present sea
son. The prospects for a good team
have been excellent all season, but it
seemed that at every game the team
couldn’t get organized. The team
worked fine in this game and the de
fense was almost perfect, only three
points being registered during the last
half.
John Sockwell, lanky forward, could
hardly miss the basket, registering 17
points during the evening, and led in
the individual scoring. Led by his con
sistent shooting, the team piled up 16
points during the last half. The first
half ended 13-12 with the locals main
taining a scant lead.
Captain Taylor’s fioorwork was good
for Greensboro, while Whitner and
Hinckle led in scoring for the Pointers.

SPORT SPARKLES
The reserves of G. H. S. have been
faring better than the first string for
the past few days. They have met al
the teams of the grammar schools and
defeated them. They have given a good
account of themselves against severa
of the smaller high schools in their
section.
The soccer team has at last received
letters. “S” and “T” will be put on
them but this will probably be removed
in a few years after soccer has become
a major sport in North Carolina.
Track prospects seem very bright for
this year, in fact the best in severa
years. Many boys are taking advan
tage of the good weather and are work
ing out in the stadium daily.
Capt. Clarence Phoenix had his pic
ture in The Daily Record the other day
His handsome mug was almost inspir
ing to the sport editor.
Mr. Coletrane is coaching wrestling
and boxing at the “Y” every day. A
number of boys are practicing daily and
it is planned to stage bouts between
halves of the basketball games. At
tempts are being made to arrange
matches with other schools that have
teams. Among the boys that are out
for this sport are Lassiter, Brooks
Whitwo/th, Hodge, Clegg, Motsinger
and McClean.
The local boys finally broke the jinx
and ended their losing streak against
High Point Wednesday night. It was
High Point’s first defeat of the season
and it was the first victory of G. H. S
Two boys of the wrestling team met
the Winston grapplers between halves
at the basketball game Saturday night
The boys showed up well for their first
meet.

What Hit Him?
A Topeka millinan tells about a tin
roof of a Kansas store that was torn
off and rolled into a compact bundle
by a cyclone. Having a sense of hu
mor, the owner wrapped a few strands
of baling wire around the ruin and
shipped it to Henry Ford. In due time
came a communication saying:
“It will cost you $48.50 to have your
car repaired. For heaven’s sake, tell
us what hit you.”—Exchange.
