GOLBSBOEOjHr^NEWS- Pug© 3 jftuakes I^se C Class iGfame to Dtirftam! The Quakes went down in defeat* to the season^' night cap game with Durham Hi Friday nite, February 20, in Durham by the score of 38-18. The locals played hard and were much the better team as far as phy sical and mechanical power goes, but they were a bit \V"eak oh defense and ■orgainzation. Liles was the outstand ing Quake on the floor, and it was thru his star playing that the Quakes were able to make a good show^ing. Don’t get the idea that Liles was the only Quake that was Quaking, for he he was not. Hawley, Hooks, and: Shannan did some pretty nifty playing on the offense but were unable to riiake the baskets count as two points. At the end of the first half the Dur- hamites were holding a 18-12 lead, and in the second half they more than doubled their lad while Quakes were collecting a measly six points. Liles led the Quakes in the tallying with iiine points to his credit. For the Durham team Skinner, rlimtnutive forward, and Tilly, veteran gua.'d, were the aces. Tilly was high, point man with 18 points by his name. ROCKY MOUNT WHIPS QUAKES Rocky Mount took the Quakes into camp Thursday nite before the Dur ham game by a 26-16 score. This game was played in Rocky Mount and it ws full of action from the start. The locals started out in the first of the ^ame looking as if they were going to take the Blackbirds into camp but the Blackbirds had another plan of their own about the game. At half time the locals were trailing behind a 19-14 lead that Rocky Moun't had gathered in the final minutes of first half play. Liles ag-ain was the defensive star but Hooks took offensive Laurels and tied Liles six-all for high point collec- torship. These two lads played real ball but it takes five men working to- egther all the game to win and this was what the locals lacked the whole season—^team work. For the Blackbirds Thurman was hi-point man with 10 points to his credit; he and Brothers were the stars of the Black and Gold team. SMITHFIELD DEFEATS LOCALS On Tuesday nite, February 17, the locals dropped a hot nonrclass game to Smithfield by a 26-22 verdict on the local court. Honeycutt was the Smithfield ace scoring 18 points for his outfit while rloing this “Earthquake taming act.” This Jad got plenty bad in last half and rahg up the tallies from all an gles. Hon^yputt was given good sup port by NortoK. and Johnson. Liles led the locals in scoring by collecting 8 points. ^In the closing xainutes of play “Plug'" Wilson^, was sent in for “Coo” Merritt. This lad got hot, rang up four points, and it looked as if he were going to start a rally but the timer’s whistle “nipped it in the bud.” RALEIGH STOPS QUAKES . On Thursday nite, February 12, the Quake bowed to the strong quint of Haieigh Hi in Raleigh by the scoi'e of ^'13. This game was a fast contest and iPlenty interesting even tho locals were behind from''the first minutes of the play until the final whistle closed the game. Rand was the big shot of the Gap Club in scoring and defensive play. This lad scored 20 points for his club, clinching the high-scoring honors. He was given good assistance by his entire outfit and specially by Jacobs, diminutive guard. Liles again led the Quake attack in efv-ery phase of the game and scored aine of the local’s 13 points. )|UAKES TAKE IN FAYETTEVILLE On Friday night February 6, the Quakes scored their only win in class A circles by defeating the quint from Payetteville Hi on the local coui’t by ft; 19-17 decision. The locals played the best game they played the whole seASon. This was the first conference that Liles had played, and he surely did his stuff. In the final min utes when the score was deadlocked 17, Liles tossed the aggett into the 5iet-covered hole for a doubleton that Wont the game. Liles took the scoring honors xirtth 13 of the total 19 points to his credit. Hooks a,nd Hawley along '«ttth “Long Coo” Merritt did the de- Jcjisive'-work that spelled defeat for J'^etteVilte.^ By RA1>P«; GIJDIDPNS By IDDYGAY —Well, folks, here we are again scribling some sense (?) and some (?) nonsense. Being as how yo’all are al ways looking for the funny side of life, 1 will try to please. All I. have to say is that if I had a certain cam paign business manager and the cam paign man himself in a vacant room —magazine prices might go down (or up).— —That “Whiskers” Liles is a bad lad. He can shoot goals like nobody’s busi ness. If he shoots a “line” like he can shoot doubltons, he should be a hot lover. (Omeeay eesay emay, Enry Hay). —“Plug” Wilson “got hot” in that Smithfield game and near ’bout star red. He’s good—he knows he’s good but Tommy says he’s a “plug” giver, so he can’t say much. —Well, folks, we all am goin’ to fit in Ky Mount. Ef de poiper am out ’fore we fit yo’ all cin read about it in, the Noos Argus. Ef I get w^hirped (which ain’t so empossible) yo’ all will haf to get a noo sports writer.— —Well, (again) spring football is on the menu for about three weeks now and then comes the grand ole’ game uf baseball. This year’s nine should be good. All the players are lettermen but about four and these places will not be hard to fill— —It looks as tho’ Monk won’t be able to p'ar- If this is so then the locals will have a hard time filling this place. Monk can pitch or play short stop and when it comes to hitting the pill out for a run, he can maul like Abe Lin- for a run, he can maul like “Abe” Lincoln could maul logs.—(No disre spect to “Abe”), —Well Roy Parker got good to the aspiring “Bill Tildens” and built two new courts over in the park, making a total of five in all. He also rebuilt the old ones.—See you soon— A New Boxing- Team Has Been Organ ized By Coach Bullock Mr. Bullock has announced that he has organized a boxing team full of pep and vitality to meet Rocky Mount ther>’ tonight. The team is composed' mostly of the remnants of the first boxing team organized this year. The main contenders for various classes is as iollows: 95—Corbett; Ham 105—Baddour 115—Dewey; J. Denmark; E. Eutsler 125—Wilksensoh; Lewis; Bill Ward 135—R. Langston; Glisson 145—Giddens; Romanus; Stallings 155—Rice Pannell. The team has had little experience, but our hopes are high. It has the support of the whole hig^ school, and we^ hope that it will- bring back the honors. Concerninj»’ the Ground On February 2 “The News and Ob server” carried the following feature story on Ground Hog Day: Since the early Christian era, Febr ruary 2 has been the day of weather prognostication. This is Candlemas Day. And centuries before the groundhog poked his shout outside his burrow into farme, the Old World used this feast day of the “Pm-ification of the Blessed Virgih” to predict that; “If Chacllemas Day be fair and “If Chadlemas Day be fair and clear, “There’ll be two winters iri the year. “If Candlemas Day be wet and foul, “The half o’ AVinter’s gone at Yule.” Even the old Romans knew this day. Their pi^^phecies were made amidst the fifckers of candles lighted in honor of the Goddess Februa, moth er of Mars. ■ Over all Europe, fine weather on this day omened unseasoiiably cold days arid crop failures. Foul weather fore told" a bright and early'spnng. In Gei*m{tny, the saying'was; “The Shepherd would rather see the wolf enter his stable ' on Candlemas Day than the sun.” - Dog failed to recognize Montclair owner after barber had removed hiis whiskeys u,nd bit him in the leg.— ' “B'ettw.- ^rber.” ' ' -Spice-of. Lif*’.- ,' On January 30: dui*‘ team went out; with the determination to/ hold dowtVi those Methodist Orphanage girls.- K. Liles, high scorer^ was splendidly as sisted by Bridgets and Best, while the^ guards played a mighty good game, too. And let me tell you our visitors- from the Methodist Orphanage could certainly play basketball. They beat us by 56-5, and we’re mighty glad it wasn’t any worse. It won’t be long now before we play ’em again;-so be sure to keep a watch out for us ’cause we’re going to do some fine playing. Just watch and see. Mount Olive Well, team let’s be isure to do better work in our future games than we did in the Mount Olive game. They beat us pretty badly, especially since they came from such a small town. K. Liles was again top scorer, assisted by our old faithfuls, Bridgers and Best. Fayetteville It seems at one minute the “Lady Quakes” get “balled” out and the next minute they get complimented for such good playing, but they certainly need lots o’ complimenting for the great work in the Fayetteville game. Every lady played “s-well” and especially our guards. They were just fine, all over the floor; you could hardly keep your eyes on 'em!!! Keep up the good work. As for the forwards, they did mighty fine playing, too. Bridgers and Best were top scorers in the game, while “K” Liles did some good soring Tub. The final score was 35-30. But we played such a good game that we’re well satisfied with everything Just watch us from now on!! 4N OPEN FORUM February 20, 1931. Dear Editoi-, I think it would be a good idea to add another period onto the school routine, letting this hour be a study- period. Many students carry home two or three books, intending to study them; however, for some , reason or other, the books usually remain ex actly where they were put until the next morning. My study-period is at the end of the day, and personally, I am sorry when the bell rings, because I would like so well to finish rriy les sons and not have to worry over them at night. I think a change should be made, if not for this year, for next, and I think that the majority of the students share my opinion. If there are any objections to this, will the objecting party please write a letter for this column? Sincerely, Florence Baker. Among the many Scotch jokes, there is this one: A Scotchman was standing on the corner with a loaf of bread under his arm waiting for traffic jam.—If he wanted a lot of jam he should c6me up to G. H. S. about 12 o’clock. Think he Wouldn’t get it? Coiyrts to Greet Terinis ETopef uls During the last two weeks I am sure we have all at one time or another, indirectly, if not divectly, gotten a strong whiff (or maybe your whiff wa£> delicate—mine wasn’t) of tar. If you haven’t received this whiff yet, then there’s something seriously wrong with you. better see your doctor tomor row! Oh yes, that’s right! This is the season for colds, grip, flu, ]^neu- monia, or what have you! Since your ailment may be only double pneu monia, 1 wouldn’t let a little thing like. that cramp my style! Well, to get back again ,this v,?liiff isn’t merely a whiff ! It means some thing! It means that our “across-the^^ street neighbors, the tennis courts, arc^ getting attention, and plenty of it! At, last, the city’s giving both the unem ployed and the courts a break! Yep! It won’t be long now until we can gaze across from our “front porch” (if i may call it that) to be hold five well-kept courts (four dirt, one cement) enclosed in by wiring all around. Maybe that”sounds like one of Grimm’s fairy tales or Ripley’s “Be- lieve-it-or-not.” Nevertheless i't’s true, or will be in a short time! So students, let’s get some ambition to learn to play tennis, so that we can appreciate those courts. Then, too, we should have quite a few candidates for the tennis team to represent G. H:.
