Friday, February 18, 1938. THE SALEMI'lE Page Three. SPCKir SLANT/ "S FRESHMEN DEFEAT SOPHOMORES IN DOUBLE-HEADER Perhaps the gym, as well as you and I, was most agreeably surprised Friday afternoon at the peppy crowd out to see the basketball game. It was the first of the annual series of inter-class games which culminate in the final championship game and a grand banquet. The bleachers Fri day, were well filled; the specta tors were enthusistic and a fine spirit prevailed among them. For instance, in interviewing young John Downs, Jr. he remarked, “I’m yelling for the freshmen; I’m gonna shoot the sophomores.” It was pleasing and interesting to observe the excellent spirit of sports manship as shown and developed in the game itself and among the play ers. For their first college game, the freshmen did remarkably well, and of course, the sophomore^ benefited by last year’s practice and experi ence. Mable Pitzer, sophomore captain, said just before the game, “We’d like to win but we know it’s going to be a hard fight.” She was right. Even though the score was not al ways tensely close, the game was fast and hard fought. After the game, Miss Pitzer again speaking for her team mates, showed there was still some persistent Salem “fight” left in the sophomore team by stating: “The freshmen have a nifty little team but we think we are the niftiest.” As I’ve said before, this was the freshman team’s chris tening into college basketball. I thought you fans might be interest ed in just how these girls felt as they awaited the game. In inter viewing their co-captains Sue For rest and Helen Straus, I noted these two different sensations. Said Miss Forrest, “We hope we can live up to our big-sisters’ excellent athletic reputation.” (I’m pretty sure there were some Juniors near her about that time.) Miss Straus only stutter ed, “I’m too seared to talk.’’ Miss Straus is a woman of few words, for at the end of the game as her team victoriously left the court, her only comment was, “We are happy.” The final score was 31-lG. The line-up for the game was as follows: Sophomores Freshmen Pos. Emerson Pitzer Forward Straus - Walston Forward Oleary Kirk Forward D. Langston C!ourt Guard Forrest Hollbrook Guard L. Lanning Bay Guard Substitutes: Sophomores — Pou, Gold. Freshmen — Harrell, Baldwin. SALEM’S FEUCIA MARTIN A system considered last year but never actually carried out was in. augurated Friday afternoon too. Aft er the contest between the first two teams, the B teams of boh classes engaged in a shorter contest. For most of these girls, this was their first participation in a public college game of basket ball and it afforded them valuable experience as well as fun. The final score was 16-7, again in favor of the freshmen. The line-up for this second game was as follows: Sophomores Freshmen Pos. Pou Harrell Forward Lanford - Early Forward Watson Eice Forward McKeithan Baldwin Guard Banes - Sartin Guard Gold Graham Guard Substitutes: Sophomores — Breakell, Hollowell, Hendrick, Hat, Norfleet, Eogers> Freshmen — McNeely, K. A. Felicia is one of the Junior for wards in basketball. She loves the game, in fact, it is her pet pastime at this point. She made the varsity her freshman year. This year was the first year she really went out for hockey but she likes it. She says she likes everything connected with sports. Of course, she attributes her athletic success to Miss At, not to eating puffed rice or red meat. She hates all meat unless it’s well done, even chicken. Maybe her energy comes from chocolate bars. Unlike many Salem lassies, she likes to go to bed early, while at school at least. She is a member of the Scorpions. She is a Marshall too. Last year Felicia was president of the Sopho more Class. Many people consider her as a very nonchalant person, one who seems to have little emotion. When she is upset she wants to be alone. Some day when she lets that holy terror temper (very rare), go, she says she’s going to hop into some kind of an open car and just go some place. She has always had the idea that she has an inferiority complex, but she is about convinced now that she hasn’t one. She is really quite dis appointed that she doesn’t too. You can’t keep Felicia still in the hot weather, she must be doing some thing. Never suggest any form of card game to her, she has to be too quiet to suit her. She enjoys watch ing such games as baseball. A good bull session is always a good reason why to put off something unless there is responsibility connect ed with the work. On of her chief pastimes is writ ing letters. She is going to Anna polis soon so business must be good! Dancing to Tommy Dorsey’s “Night and Day” or “Stardust” would make an evening almost complete in itself. Don’t think she is fond of just one variety of music, however. She loves organ and at one time hoped to play one. She took piano lessons for eight years, but that was the closest to organ she has come. She dislikes radio announcers who try to sing. The “eye-closer” pro gram bores her too. She could listen to Nelson Eddy anytime though. She has always wanted to study the stars. It would be a nice way to spend your evenings, at that. She loves the moon and mountains Kate Smith sings of, but not Kate. Felicia’s room-mate says she groans in her sleep. Maybe that is caused by smoke house attempts at singing or by basket ball endeavors on an off day. We’ll leave Miss Martin to the Junior team, because we know she knows what to do there. SOPHS HAVE “IDEA” Did you see the Junior-Senior game Friday night ? Or should I say, did you hear the noise in the gallery? Well the noise, bustle, buzz or what have you was the affect of the sophomore “Idea.” Yes, they did have an idea and it is this. They have finally discovered that what Salem needs in the gallery for the big games is a organized cheering section — They organized one, over night it seems, and Friday night “it” was right there in the middle section of the gallery singing, swing ing and swaying at the direction of Miss Nancy Court. Their “idea” was really a success and everyone hopes they will not let their spurt of school spirit die down. Shall we give the Sophs a hand? A little explained, a little . en dured; a little forgiven and the quarrel is cured. Smith. Officials for both games were: Eeferee — Miss Dorothy Knott. Scorekeepers — Frazier and Car penter. Timekeepers — J. Knox. Card keeper — Grantham. TIP OFFS The University of North Carolina quintet scored its thirteenth victory in 16 starts by defeating Duke Uni versity 34 to 24. The win was the tenth in 11 Southern Conference games. Both teams were very even during the firs,t Waif, (bub North Carolina White Phantoms got the jump sliortly after the half as Ber- shak and Euth began to find the range with accuracy and regularity and ran up a 10 point lead after only three minutes of play. The Phantoms boosted their lead 17 points after 13 minutes of play on one-handed tosses by Bershak from the side, but Duke cut the mar gin almost in half in the closing four minutes with Euss Bergmann’s and Ed Swindell’s long shots. Many shots were missed by both teams in the second half. Captain Euth, guard, was the North Carolina terror for Duke. Euth made 13 points. It was by Euth’s clever ball handling and passing tactics that kept Duke on the run all throughout the second half. Bershak with 12 points also needs special mention. Bergman was Duke’s offensive and defensive star. He tallied 10 points JUNIORS ODT-PIAY SENIORS BY ONE IW Friday night at 8:45 in the gym nasium, Salem had one of the most exciting basket ball games that she has ever had. Can you guess who played? Of course, it was the Senior- to pace the Dukes. Elon trounced Catawba College 51 to 30, thus maintaining their per fect record in the North State Con ference. Duke University has two crucial games this week against Washington and Lee and North Carolina State to qualify for the annual Southern Conference tourney. In addition to the Generals and the Wolves, the Blue Devils are scheduled for games with Wake Forest and North Caro lina during the week following this. A Duke team has never failed to qualify for a Southern Conference tournament and Blue Devil outfits have been to the finals four times and to the Semi-finals once in recent years. The team this year may be the first Duke team to win the loop title. Junior game. Both teams had so much determination that one could not discuss until the last second of the last quarter just which team would be the victor — It seemed to be only a matter of time. Finally as the whistle blew ending the game the score stood 32-31 in favor of the juniors. There was, as might have b«en expected, the old feeling of rivalry between the two teams but it was in such good spirit that both teams said afterwards that it was one of the most interesting and exciting game they had ever played and they enjoyed it immensely. It was, as Miss Atkinson says, a “head-up” game — There -was good accurate passing and comparatively few fouls. The referee, Miss Langley said that it was one of the fastest games that she had ever called. Felicia Martin and Annette Mc Neely were high scorers for the Juniors while Willena Couch was high scorer for the seniors with 15 points.
