HOLLIDAY
AT LEAST ONCE DURING the sea
son of each major sport here at Senior
high, there appears the necessity of
arousing the interest of the stnrtent
body in the importance of the athletic
teams.
Dnring the hrst half of the football
season the attendance and spirit of the
spectators was far below what it
should have been. Although the basket
ball season is now in full blast, the
attendance so far at the tilts has been
extremely low.
Not many years ago every home
game the high school cagers played
was to a packed house. The pi'ice tor
those contests was also higher than
the present admission rate. You, the
students, have voted in favor of the
IT) cents admission charge, which, by
the way, is much lower than that at
most other high schools.
Those teams, which aroused so much
interest, were by no means better than
the (luintet operating now for Coach
Jamieson, for in the pre-conference
rating the locals were rated with Char
lotte and High Point as the teams most
likel,v to wind up at the top of the
heap.
THE STUDENT COUNCIL, as sponsor
of the club, is working to improve the
attendance. Thus with their sponsor
ship, your siTpport and the ability of
Jamieson’s team, Green.sboro can and
should be the leading basketball city
in the state. It’s up to you from here
on out.
THOSE' CAGE PANS of the school
that failed to see Chuck Taylor in his
appearance at the local gym last week
missed a demonstration of one of the
leading cagers in the nation. A de
cided improvement in the work of the
local team has also been noted since
the appearance of Taylor, who took
the Whirlwinds separately and helped
them in different phases of the game.
In addition to showing his audience
undreamed of tricks with a ball, Tay
lor displayed moving pictures of dif
ferent cage teams that showed the
game of basketball as it should be
played.
TPIAT GAJIE THE LOCAI.S drojjped
last Friday night to the Roanoke
cagers really was a tough one to lose.
The Wliirlies showed up excellently in
the final minutes of the first half to
pull themselves back in the .game, and
during the fimil half the locals held the
lead for 14 of the Id minutes, onl.v to
lose it in the final seconds.
The play that resulted in Roanoke’s
tying basket could easily have been
called back. This step would have
given the game to Greensboro. Captain
Tom Aydelette was dribbling the ball
when he was rushed, and, in the con
fusion, he tripped, losing the bitll.
It looked as if Roanoke had com
mitted a foul, but the official didn't
call the play. If he had, the free shot
for Aydelette woidd have taken the
final seconds and Greensboro would
have been victorious 2d to 24.
Members of the local Debating club
plan to attend a practice forensics
tournament in Reidsville in February.

In Extra Period Tilt
In a hard fought game last Frid.iy
night in the local gym, the Purple
Whirlwinds lest to the I'irginia state
champions, Jefferson high of Roanoke,
by the score of 30 to 28 in an extra
period game.
-4fter tying the .score in the regular
game in the last four seconds of play,
two lon.g set shots by Jimmie Akers
in the extra period gave the visitors
their margin of victory.
Locals Rally In First Half
Greensboro got off to a slow start
in the tilt, and as the half drew near
its end, Roanoke led b,v a score of nine
to three. Then the AVhirlwinds seemed
to get new life and started on a scor
ing sp.ree that netted seven points in
two minutes to give them a, one point
lead at the half-way mark.
Throu.ghout the final two piarters,
the teams matched each other goal for
goal with neither buildin.g a lead at
any time. During the first of the final
canto Coach Bob Jamieson used re
serves to give his first stringers a rest
from the fracas. Even these held their
own against the Magicians from 4'ir-
ginia and protected Greensboro's slim
lead well.
Score Tied In Last Minute
Then with less than a minute to
pbiy. Captain Tom Aydelette was drib-
b'ing the ball just past the midcouj’t
line when Bill Flint charged and
caused him to trip and fall. Flint then
recovered the ball, went down the court
and scored the tying basket. He missed
the gift shot th;it could have won the
game, a shot which residted from a
foul by A1 Koepfle on the play.
In the extra period Akers broke the
scoring ice with a basket that was
m.atched by a crip shot by Paschal to
knot the score. Then with four seconds
to play. Akers dropped in another long
shot for the game-winning points.
I’aschal led the scoring with 12
Iicints while Akers trailed close be
hind him with five field goals for 10
jioints.

Athletes for Defense
Many sports fans are asking,
“Will athletes be drafted?” The
draft officials have definitely said
the sportsmen will be inducted
into the service if they pass the
tests.
Athletes have proven that their
services are valuable in the line of
duty because sports teach clear and
fast thinking in emergencies. Each
player of a si)ort has learned what
to do at the right time, and to co
ordinate mind and muscle. This
will prove hel|)ful to the nation’s
defense.
Three of the country’s outstand
ing men in the field of sports have
entered the services. Hob Feller,
speedball artist of the Cleveland
Indians, joined the navy; Henry
(Hank) Greenberg was drafted,
then released because of the age
limit, but Greenberg told the offi
cials he would like to re-enlist to
help his country in time of war.
floe Louis, world’s heavyweight box
ing champion, fought last Friday
for the Navy fund, which profited
.$89,000, and went into the Army
Tuesday. If his army fighting is
anything like his boxing, the Axis
powers had better look out for the
Brown Bomber.
Vocational Instructors
