Friday, December 16, 1949 Quakes Win One Lose One On Western Tour The GHS Earthpuakes Closed their only scheduled western tour December 10 when they dropped the second game of the two games played in that section of the state, to the Jay-Vee’s of Elon College, "nie Quakes had won the first game of the tour by Squeezing past Burlington 44-43 on December 9. G. F. Seymour’s foul shot with three seconds left in the game broke a 43-43 tie and gave the Quakes the game against the Bulldogs who are rated as one fo the strongest teams in the Wes- ern AA conference. The Quakes had led the Bull dogs thi'oughout the first half, but the Westerners put on a third quarter drive which brought them up even with the locals. Both teams fought on fairly even teiTTis throughout the fourth pe riod with each team playing its best brand of basketball. The Saturday night tussle, played in Elon College’s gym, was an easy victory for the Junior Christians although they won by an eight point, 33-25 mar gin. The Christians led all the way and were very effective in break ing up the Qake plays. They also hadu the advantage of hav ing a much taller team which listed several prep standouts of recent years. Tlie Quakes will meet Wash ington’s Pam-Pack in the Wil liam Street Gym tonight. Sportrarts Shoe Repairing At Its Best Carolina Shoe Rebuilders 124 E.

Ronald Percise led the Quake offense with 16 points and the defense by playing a bang-up game while the semi-pros had tho ball. The game was a tight defen sive struggle until the third quarter with the Music and Sports crew leading at the half by a slim 9-8 margin. Only two field goals were tossed in in the entire first half, but the two teams got rolling in the final half to turn the game into a strict offensive turnout.

This was on April 2, 1930. Since coming to Goldsboro High School James Carlie has made quite an impressive record in athletics. During his freshman year he played junior basketball, foot ball and baseball. His next year also he played football, and bas ketball. Last year and this he played varsity football. He also played junior basketball again his junior year. Carlie is a member of the Var sity Club and serves as treasurer of the Senior class. After graduation this spring Carlie plans to attend High Point College. He hopes to grad uate from High Point and go in to the ministerial service. He claims chicken salad and chocolate cake and his liking for Ingrid Bergman as his ideal act ress. W’e hope Carlie will be as suc cessful in his future life as he ha.s been here in high school.

WALNUT STREET BEN ELLIS Most Complete Assortment of Clothing and Furnishing For The High School Young Man in Goldsboro. Apparel for Men and Boyg IM K. WabMt St. Charlie Hinnant The end of the forty-nine grid season brought to a close rhe high school career of one of the finest badis Goldsboro High has ever produced. Junior McRoy, named on vir tually every major All-Star sqaud throughout the state, has carved for himself a lasting place in the annals of the Earthquake gridsters. In addition to all-state and all-conference honors Mc Roy participated in the annual North Carolina-South Carolina Shrine Bowl in Charlotte, has served as team captain and was presented the most valuable player award, presented annual ly by the local Moose Club. He Is Versitile Versitility at all positions of the squad has been shown by Mac, who has played quarter back, tackle, fullback, and he re ceived action as half back in the Shrine Bowl game. His football career began on the junior var sity as tackle, at which position he attracted a great deal of at tention, but on graduation he has shown agility as a ball handler. Is Line Plunger Line plunging is Mac’s strong est point, and he has shown just how strong at that point he is by having a remarkable average of six yard per carry. Kicking and passing also are in Junior’s line of duty, as he is the squad’s regular punter and is always a constant aerial threat. Each summer, in order to keep in shape for the gridiron wars, Mac serves as water front direc tor at nearby Tuscarora Scout Camp. Junior stands 5’ 10” and carries a solid 190 pounds, and uses every pound of it in line plunges, as opposing linesmen will quickly verify. Loves His Sports Sports of every kind appeal to McRoy, who is a North Carolina Golden Gloves champ, an excel-' lent swimmer, and plays a good game of baseball and basketball having played the latter two in Junior varsity competeition. Football is the number one sport with Mac, but that still doesn’t distract anything from the other sports as far as he is concerned. Likes and dislikes were called to the attention of Mac and he re plied quickly that he didn’t dis like anything in particular, and for one thing the GHS girls are Dover Falls To Quakes In Second Game The Dover High School bas- keteers became the second vic tim of the Quake courtmen as they fell before the Quake at tack 49-33 in the Quakes’ sec ond outing on the WiDiam Street court. The game was played De cember 7. wrong,” said Junior, as he shook his head dolefully, “there just ain’t enough of them.” Interests Are Varied Active as he is in sports Mac still finds time for other activi ties. He is a Goldmasquer and has worked on many of the Gold masquer productions. Other than his athletic and Dramatic activities he is past treasurer of the Varsity Club and has serv ed on numerous S. A. commit tees. As the subject got around to food Junior smiled from ear to ear, and from that smile it wasn’t hard to tell how he got his weight to 190 pounds. His favorite foods are of all things pickled pigs feet and chocolate pie. With such a combination as that he may reach the weight of 250. Concerning his future, McRoy is still undecided, but he defi nitely plans to go to some col lege. He will decide which later on. Judging by Junior’s past record we would like to predict that no matter to what college he goes he will make quite a name for himself in football. Causey Leads Faculty Five In Junior Win Coach Bill Causey led the way as the male faculty members of GHS won their first game in a long standing series 48-47 in the preliminary game of the Varsity- Music and Sports doubleheader played E>ecember 1 in the William Street Gym. Causey’s 23 points were tops for the evening on offense and he used his 6’4” frame very ef fectively to help Coach Chick Doak and Hersey Person to con trol the blackboards. The experi ence of these three, plus the of fensive talent of Athletic Direc tor Norris Jeffrey who came through with 12 points, sent the Jay-Vees down for the first time since the series was started sev eral years ago. The Juniors were led by Dick Howard with 13 points and D. C. Daughtry and Brasten Keen who scored 10 and 9 points respec tively. The inexperience of the fresh men and sophomores who will make up the team this year con tributed much to the downfall of the Jay-Vees whose only experi ence thus far has come through the program carried on by the Wayne Community Building. Ronald. Percise was again tiie offensive leader with 13 points although Louis Hallow and G. F. Seymour came through with 10 point each. The Quakes dominated the ac tion from the opening whistle and were never seriously threat- ene’. by the visitors although the Dover team pulled within six points at the end of the third period.
