It’s time for more em
phasis to be placed on mini
sports. Mini-Sports are those
sports played in toe
classroom, usually behind the
teacher’s back. These sports
have no real organization;
they are just games devised
and play^ by many students
in the course of a school day.
Perhaps the most com
mon mini-sport is Trasketball.
In the game of Trasketball,
the participant sits in his seat
and throws wadded-up paper
balls at the trashcan. The very
art of Trasketball lies not in
making the shot, but
manuvering in a manner such
that the teacher does not see
who threw the paper. This
requires an attentive eye and
reHexes quick enough to let
the wad go the minute the
teacher’s back is turned. One
wins Trasketball if he suc
cessfully makes the shot, one
loses if the teacher sees him.
The price of losing is usually
one hour in Mr. Miller’s
penalty box.
Tillery Street Dash is
another “bigee” here at
Senior High. In Tillery Street
Dash, the participant starts
from his seat in a room in
Tillery Building. At the sound
of the bell, he must leap from
his seat, charge out the door,
claw his way through the
crowd, and get to the second
floor of the Math-Science
Building in five minutes.
Tillery Street Dash is the
leading cause of heart attacks
at Senior High.
Baby Gryphs
Drop Cougars
The RMSH Jayvees took
their second game 28-6 over
the Goldsboro Cougars. The
Baby Gryphs played well
throughout the game. In
yardage, the Gryphs out-
gained Goldsboro 301 to 1.
Lindon Willis and Terry
Brown starred in the victory.
For those who want to
develop arm muscles. Perfect
Point is the game for you.
Perfect Point is an exciting
game which puts you against
that mental monsterthe
pencil sharpener. To play, put
a brand new pencil into the
sharpener and crank it as fast
as you can. If, in thirty
seconds you have achieved a
good writing point, you win. If
the pencil sharpener eats your
pencil, you lose.
These are just a few of the
fascinating sports available at
Senior High. Others include;
Smoke-Sight, where you try to
see the sink in the bathroom
through the haze; Back-Be-
Gone, where two or more
contestants lean their chairs
back as far as they can to see
who can get closest to the floor
without inflicting bodily
harm; and Run For Your Life,
where you try to get out of the
parking lot alive at 3:21.
You needn’t ever be board
again!

Squad Excels
In Spirit
The forecast may be for
rain, but nothing can dampen
the spirit of the RMSH Varsity
cheerleaders. These girls are:
Liz Safy and Gwen Hen
derson, co-heads; Leigh Ann
Allsbrook, Robin Bass, Beulah
Battle, Laura Davenport,
Sharon Edwards, Kim
English, Phyllis Goffney,
Amanda Jones, Belinda
Judkins, Teresa Mosley,
Cynthia Smith, and Linda
Williams.
Have you noticed that
before the National Anthem,
the girls join hands in a circle
as one girl leads in a prayer.
This is only one oi the many
things that these girls have
decided to do. Another is the
“Thursday afternoon
banquets”. After the football
players finish practice on
Thursday afternoons before
home games, the
cheerleaders serve them
cupcakes and Kool-Aid. So far
there have been no fatalities.
They guys may complain, but
the cheerleaders realize that
complaining is the only way
the guys know how to say
thanks.
The cheerleaders travel to
all the out-of-town games on
the new activity bus. Each
cheerleader has one ticket to
sell, so if anyone is interested
in going to the game, see one
of the girls early in tiie week.
When you pay $2 for a ticket
on this bus, you get live en
tertainment. John Fish, one of
the brave adventurers who
rode on the bus to Goldsboro,
commented that he had
“Souls Unlimited” in the
back and “Billy Graham” in
the front. Don’t let John scare
you off, though. There is
always something different
going on with these girls.
After the Goldsboro
defeat, several of the Gryphon
players were walking across
the parking lot with their
heads hung low, singing, “We
tried, but we couldn’t do
it”....Chalk one up for spirit!
Joey Robbins, who was out of
the game with an injury,
remarked, “We beat the $$&?
out of them, but they just
scored more points.”
Quote for the month-“It’s
better to protect yourself by
wearing red. Than to have
your hunting buddy shoot you
dead.”
SHE’D PROBABLY BE DISAPPOINTED IF YOU
TOOK HER ANYWHERE ELSE.

That wonderful time of
the year has come again when
all the sportsmen migrate into
the woods. Dove season came
in at the beginning of Sep
tember, bringing with it new
guns and wilder tales. In this
column, I intend to give you
tips and scoops for hunters
and fishers.
Check with the
weatherman before* starting
out on your hunting excursion.
The hunting is always better
when there is a front moving
through. Why? The birds are
moving; therefore, they’re
easier to find.
The mornings of October
8, 9, 26, and 27 will be best for
fishing. The evenings of the 3,
4,23,24,25, and 31 will be good
also, according to the 1974
SPORTS AFIELD
ALMANAC.
Been having problems
finding squirrels? Start this
year right with this idea. One
of the best ways to call
squirrels, according to Doag
Williams of Owing Mills,
Maryland, is to take two poker
chips and rub their faces
together. Honestly
The old adage that quiet is
the only way to be when you’re
fishing isn’t necessarily true
when you’re fishing for big
bass. If you’re fishing in thick
weeds, row through the
middle of a number of pat
ches, making sure to make a
lot of disturbance. This
dislodges insects from the
weeds and bottom, sending
them swimming wildly in the
path. This attracts small fish
and eels, which in turn helps
attract big bass. Return in
about ten minutes after
disturbing them, fishing with
plastic worms, eels and
salamanders.
Bowhunting season for
deer began the 13th of Sep
tember and continues through
October 12. Three ways to
make bowhunting easier are:
1. Use one of the new quick-
release bowhangers on your
tree stand to hold the wei^t of
the bow until your game'
appears. 2. Use “pinch” hooks
that will hold the arrow firmly
on the string. 3. Use one of the
new rubber-band arrow
holders on the bow to hold the
arrow firmly against the
arrow rest. (The rubber band
releases when the arrow is
pulled back.)
Remember the rule:
During bow season, a hunter
may kill a buck or a doe. But,
the rule is: 1 deer a day, or 2
deer a season.
A game reserve in Ceylon
has £is message for its
hunters....
“If you with litter will
disgrace
And spoil the beauty of this
place
May indigestion rack your
chest
And ants invade your pants
and vest,”
«layvees Defeat Jamesville
The RMSH Jayvees
travelled to Jamesville for
their season opener. The Baby
Gryphs broke in the new
season with a 20-12 victory.
The Gryphs led 14-6 at half-
time and continued the press
in the third and fourth
quarters. Lindon Willis was
the offensive leader. He threw
one TD pass, ran for another,
and scored a two point con
version. The Jayvees defense
did a great job.
