S., 47-20 In Second Games Greensboro Again Loses to Asheville With Score of 20-9 on Saturday, Feb. 3 The boys’ basketball team with Coach Parks and Manager Charles Shoffner left Greensboro Friday morning, Feb ruary 3, to play Asheville High. Friday night the Asheville High’s fast play swept the Purple and Gold players off their feet to win 47 to 20. In the first five minutes of play, Ashe ville had run the score up to 11 while Greensboro Afas still trying to ring a goal. Taylor scored the greatest num ber of points for the visitors. On Saturday night, February 3, the Greensboro High basketball team ral lied too late and enabled the Maroons to take a second game by a score of 31 to 27. Asheville started out to make it a runaway game, but Greens boro, after trailing miserably, 12, to 2, braced up to finish the first half with a score of 20 to 9. In the second half the Maroons were taken off their feet by the dashing attacks. In the final half, Greensboro’s score crept almost up to that of Asheville’s, as the boys fed Sockwell the ball.

INAUGURATES MAT AND Mm TEAM WITH GOOD LINE-DP Will Probably Be Permanent Sport at G. H. S.—Coached by Coletrane and Redway PRACTICE DAILY AT ‘W Wrestlers for First Meet: Bell, Hodge, Cates, Brooks, Justice, Whitworth; Bill Hobbs Is Manager For the first time in the history of G. H. S. this institution has turned out a wrestling and mitt team. It is more or less of an experiment, but from the signs at present it will prob ably be a permanent feature. Just how good the local lads are, is not yet fully established, but some likely look ing boys have been coming out. The mat and mitt artists are work ing out in the “Y” gym every after noon under the direction of Coaches Coletrane and Redway, both competent instructors. Emil Hodge is the most outstanding of the grapplers, while McLean and Motsinger are speedy, clever leather pushers. The probable line-up for coming meets is: Bell, Hodge, Cates, Whit worth, Brooks, Justice, for the wres tlers ; with Hunt, Faison, Quate, Smith, Motsinger, McLean and Justice for the boxers. Bill Hobbs is managing the outfit. Last Tuesday the lads had their ini tial meet with Winston. Two or three more engagements have been slated. Sportlights A number of new sports have been added to the athletics at G. H. S. in the past few years. The youngest sports are: Field hockey, soccer, wrestling and boxing. This year they have all gained recognition. With so many different sports there should be more people participating. Come on out for track, boys, don’t have that “I do not choose to run” spirit. Coach Lambeth said the other day, “A man gets out of track just what he puts into it.” Why not show him what you are made of unless you are ashamed of yourself. If you want to see a fast basketball player, go to one of the girls’ games and watch Duella Walker when she is after the ball. She is everywhere at once. Louise Thacker has made herself famous for turning a backward somer sault over the ball on the basketball court. If you want to see some graceful and accurate long shots, go to the games and watch John Sockwell shoot goals. The wrestling team nearly doubled its squad when it was learned that the team would be admitted free to the “Wrestling and Boxing show” held here last Tuesday night. Three very important changes have been made in the gridiron code for 1928, concerning the lateral pass, the forward pass, and the muffled punt. These were announced on February 6. They were designed to avoid confusion growing out of former rules. These new rules state: 1. A lateral pass must be passed at least two yards and it may be recov ered by the defensive side if grounded, but it cannot be advanced. 2. A fumbled punt may be recovered by the kicking side but may not be advanced. 3. No player on the side making a forward pass and who has crossed the line of scrimmage may interfere with an opponent until the ball has been touched. Baseball Schedule March 23—High Point, here.

Anna Lyon, who was manager last season, presided. She made a short talk, stating the impor tance of electing a lower classman so that the team will have trained lead ers after the present semester seven graduate. There are a number of players in this class who will leave after the next season. She also stressed the fact that the manager must be a good sport and a good exam ple to the team. Joy played goal guard for the var sity last year and was always a steady and hard hitting player. She is not only an asset to the hockey team, but also a good scholar as her silver star shows. She thanked her teammates for their faith in her and said that she would do her best. Last season the hockey squad made an excellent showing by winning every game except those with Winston. Next year there will be several more teams on their schedule. The players will be helped greatly by shin guards, an im portant part of their equipment which has been lacking before. “Greensboro has a fine chance of winning all the games next year,” said Miss Dry, “be cause only two members of the squad are graduating. A number of girl^ who have had training in grammar school should give added strength to the team.” G. H. S. QUINTET DEFEATS REIDSVILLE BASKETEERS Captain Taylor Was Unable to Play on Account of an Infected Finger NICHOLSON AND SOCKWELL STARS The Grensboro high quintet defeated the fast Reidsville five by the close score of 15 to 10 at Caldwell gym on Monday night, February 6. Both teams showed excellent team work and few goals were scored as a result. Capt. Taylor, leader of the Greens boro five, was out of the game on ac count of an infected finger, and his stellar playing and leadership were missed by the team. The second and third string men were used throughout the game by Greensboro. Nicholson and Sockwell were the shining lights for G. H. S., while Dickerson and Partlow showed up well for Reidsville. The G. H. S. scrubs defeated the Caldwell Grammar School by a score of 22 to 10 in a game preceding the Reidsville game.
