TRACK IS ISOW THE MAJOR THOUGHT OF G. H. S. ATHLETES Track Prospects Are Good this year. Team ivill Attend Meets at Wake Forest, Carolina, and the N. E. Conference Track is to be a major sport in Goldsboro High. This information was disclosed at a meeting held on January 23, called by Coach Bullock. All boys interested in any phase of track were asked to attend, and a large number reported. When each boy was asked what event he intended to try out for, it was found that more preferred the half-mile run than any other event. There were only a few who wished to run in the dashes, and likewise only a few who wanted to participate in the field events. That, however, can be remedied when prac tice starts, the Coach stated. The team will probably enter all the events a track iiieet includes. Tbt'.N’ are- lOO-ynrd dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, 880-yard run, mile run, and the 120-yard low hurdles. In the field events the boys will probably enter the shot put, discuss throw, javelin throw, pole vault, high jump, and run ning broad jump. Some of the outstanding men are: Jim Spicer and “Monk” Mason, weight men. The dash and long distance runners who will probably be out standing are: George Edwards, Wal ter Gardner, Edgerton Baker, Paul Merritt, Joe Rose and Dan Powell. The men inter^j^ted in the other field events are: Newbern Piland, John Peacock, Ralph Giddens, Matt H'owell, and Edward Evans. Those who reported were told by the coach that regular practice would state about March first and that the sooner they started training the bet ter it would be. On being questioned Coach Bullock said that he had high hopes of turning out a good team be-, cause there is plenty of good material available. He also said that the team Would go to the Wake Forest meet, thw Carolina, the N. E. Conference and maybe the Davidson. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM DOUBLES ON MOUNT OLIVE ISLER, SMITH AND PARSONS STAR The girl's bcisketball ten in defeated the fast Mount Olive Highs by the double score of 32 to 16 on the local court Tuesday night, February 5. The Mount Olive sextet never threatened to take the lead in either half. At the half the score was 14 to 18 in the locals favor. The game was one of the best play ed this season on both the offense and defense. Isler, at center, w’as high sc%j’er for Goldsboro with 12 points. Smith and Parsons followed with 11 and 9 points respectively. Parsons was outstanding in her floor-work, put ting tbe ball in enay scoring position for the other two forwards. The guards played the best game of the season with Wilson and Hartshorn showing up best. Wilson, for Mount Olive, was high scorer for her Ceam with 6 points. QUAKES TROUNCE FARMVIILE IN FAST AND SPEEDY GAME LILES IS BIG FACTOR IN GOLDS BORO’S 1513 VICTORY, LOCALS AVENGE EARLY SEASON SET-BACK BY RED DEVILS Inspired by Liles’ presence in the 'line up, the Goldsboro High School quintet gave the Red Devils a taste of their own fire by handing them the small end of a 15 to 13 score. The '^ontest, which was olaved on the local court Feb. 5, avenged the ’Quakes early season defeat at the hands of the Farmville tossers. The locals played their best game, so far, of the season and theiv victory V, >j ell earned. Henry Liles was un- c.i ' idJy the inspiration in the Earth quakes win. The brilliant forward ii?played a wonderful brand of basket, ball, covering the floor in great fash ion, both offensively and defensively. He scored, 4 of his team’s 15 points tnd was the main factor in getting the ball into the position; on the de fense his work was outstanding. Liles appeared to be the water that quench ed the Red Devil’s fire. Taking an early lead, the 'Quakes were never surpassed, although Farm ville threatened several times in the linal quarter. The locals outclassed the Red and White quintet in the first half, holding the Devils to five i oints, while they tallied nine. Farm ville made a brilliant comeback in the second period. In the final min utes of play the Red Devils’ fire be came very threatening, but the time- ' ceper's whistle brought their rally to a close when they were just rWo points behind the ’Quakes. Moore, Liles, and Simmons showed up well in Goldsboro offense, the latter being high scorer of the yening with seven points to his credit. The ’Quakes defense showed marked improvement, l)ut was still weak in spots. W. Smith was the illuminant in the Farmville play, accounting for six points and showing up well in der fense. Barret, Carraway, and S. Smith gave the lanky center steady support. GOLDSBORO LOSES SIDELINES By Billy Simmons The girls played the best game of 'basketball they have played this yiear when they defeated the Snow Hill Las- !:ies 48-10. As the score indicates the playing of the locals completely outclassed that of their opoponents, and it was a well-deserved victory. Isler dropped the ball through for 21 points, Parsons 15, and Smith 12. The girls’ Varsity certainly is im proving; they are looking forward to the next game with Wilson with high hopes. If practice makes perfect, let’s get enough practice. Mary Isler hasn’t failed to get the tip on a center since the conference began. Xcr have Edna Wilson and Olive S'pence failed to stick with their man. The newest sport at recess is the “shot put”. This is being done by the boys who intend going out for track. Some very good material has been un. covered. The best recorl yet was made by Monk Mason when he threw the 12-pound shot about 40 feet. The boyis around the school got a change on Tuesday, February fifth, from throwing apple cores to throw-^ ing snow balls. Joe Parker, Jimmie Spicer, and Monk Mason each score's 4 bull’s eyes in twenty minutes of bom barding. Note: A slight mistake--Kid man eye instead of bull’s eye. The boys’ varsity basketball team was Loosted immediately after exams because Henry Liles became eligible. Henry is playing a forward position and will without a doubt bfe the means of running up Goldsboro’s score quite a bit. He’s death on those long shots, G. H. S. is surely going to have a good track team, that’s real dope! Pea. cock, Mason, and Edwards will all more than likely come in first in the sprints, and we have’other g-iod material for the hurdles, distance, and pole vault ing. HI.

The Earthquake’s machine function, ed well, with Mathews and Simmons leading the offense. Washington’s de fense was sadlyi weak and their attack Was erratic. Mathews was the main feature of the night. Although he was not high Scoffer, he played the best floor game of any member of the two teams. Simmons, as usual, captured the high Scoring honor^ with 11 points to his Credit. Golbdboro’s victory over Washing ton gave them one win out of three starts. Boxing is the latest sport on the playgrounds. Mr. Bullock produced the gloves one rainy day when all the tlie boys who take any interest in this For the locals, Simmons was high sport crowd around the arena to watch the fistic duels. Much good is derived from boxing because the boys who do not like to ]>lay basketball, baseball, or football, can show their sti’ength and science in boxing. Some of the leading contestants for the heavyweight title are Henry Liles, James Kennedyi, Worth Baldwin, Frank Hicks, Lester Gillikin, and Jimmie Rhodes; the leaders in the feather weight ring are Durwood Pate, ‘‘Wee Willy” Corbett, and Jack Fonville. We i’ll 1-now Archie Pate, the foot- '': !1 cheer leader. But he is not only a cheer leader; he is a good amateur a'tor as you will see when the “Mar- liagc Pvoi)osal” is given. ♦♦ li » n tt tt « Where Youth Is Properly Served H.Weil£ Bros, A REALLY GOOD STORE t: Fifteen teams have already been air marked through the efforts of 2,000 high school aviation enthusiasts who have enlisted in The American Boy Air Marking Campaign, accord ing to an announcement In the Decem ber issue of TheAmerican Boy Mag;a- zine. Any high school boy or girl who has a part in the successful air marking of a town, the announcement sayis, is eligible for an honorable discharge signed by famous air leaders who are sponsoring the campaign. The spon sors are co-operating with the maga zine and the Bureau of Aeronautics of the United States Department of Commerce. So far 33 discharges have been issued. The purpose of the campaign is to bring about the marking of every city so clearly that any pilot flying over it can read instantly the city’s name and the direction and distance to the nearest airport or serviceable landing fleld. The information the pilot gains from the sign may be extremely im portant—it may even be a matter ot life or death. William P. MacCrack- en, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics, says: “The marking of cities is without doubt the most immediately important need of air navigation.” Boys or girls or high school groups that are interested in marking their towns may obtain a “plan of attack” that will, tell them how to carry the project through by sending a stamped envelope to: American Boy Air Mark, ing Headquarters, 550 West LaFayette tutntittnttiuntttttnnttttxnttuttutmtnti Don’t Forget It takes years to build up wliat fire may de stroy ill a few niinutes. |Iiisiii*e your aiitouiohile, property and life with THOMAS 0’BERRY p Fifth Floor Wayne Nat.
