HIGH POINT HIGH S CHOOL SQUAD
DEFEATS EEIDS^ILLE IN EIKST GAME
Coach Boylin is well pleased with
the .showing his team made Friday.
Made up, largely or inexperienced
men, the local highs decisively out-
closod Reidsville by the score of 10-0.
Although C. Fuqua and V/arner
staned for the locals the other nine
men must not be overlooked.. Every
man on the team played good ball.
Dallas upheld the high school slogan
when he refused to leave the game
after being injured in the last part
of the game.
Nothing more will be said about
attcncfance at games if we can have
as many at every game as we had
Friday. The cheer leaders and fans
.showed their ability to yell. Many
players talked of spirit after the
game and I’m sure they appreciated
their backing.
After II. P. had kicked off and
C. Fuqua had made a brilliant tackle
Reidsvilie fumbled and H. P. got the
ball. H. P. carried the ball within
S yds. of the goal when C. Fuqua
and Warner made end nans in suc
cession for decided gains. Hedrick
then plunged there for a touchdown.
J. Elliugtcm failed on the try fpr the
extra point. After High' Point had
kicked oft again, C. Fuqua again
clowned his man in grand style. Reids
vilie and High Point both failed to
make much ground on line plunges
during the_ rest of the quarter.
High Point opened the second quar
ter with steady gains. Hedrick fum
bled the ball, but it was recovered.
High Point then executed a sensa
tional pass that almost resulted in a
touch down. C. Fuqua to Hedrick to
Ingram, Warner then made an end
run and a line plunge that scored the
second touch down. Ingram failed
on the try for the extra point. C.
Fu(|ua then made another sensational
tackle. Reidsvilie ended the quarter
with small gain.s.
The third quarter opened with two
good tackles by C. Fuqua. Delancey
made a good run for Reidsvilie. C.
Fuqua intercepted a pass and ran
65 yards for a touchdown. J. Elling
ton kept him from being tackled when

KIV/ANIANS DONATE
MONEY FOR JERSEYS
A gift of $63.00 with v/hich to
buy new jerseys for the football
team was presented by the Kiwanis
club some time ago. Announcement
of this fact has been withheld since
it wa.s intended a.s a .surprise to the
players.
The matter was put before the
club by Rev. C. P. Coble, chairman
of the_ educational committee of the
Kiwanis club and the members re
sponded heartily. The Kiwanis club
has always stood back of the school
and encouraged the hoys and girls
to put forth their best efforts. This
yea.r they seem to be more squarely
behind these stuilents than ever be
fore. The members of the high school
thoroughly appreciate their interest.
CIVITANS SUPPORT GIRLS
BASKETBALL TEAM
The rJivitan‘'ciufa at a luncheon in
the Sheraton hotel, pledged them
selves to raise $100.00 with which
to ^ buy equipment for the girl’s
basket hall team.
Charles Brooks’_ president of the
high school athletic association, pre-
.sented the matter to the club, ex
plaining to them that about $450.00
had been spent for the boys which
was all the athletic association could
stand and the girls had no funds on
which to begin. He asked for their
support. Each member promised to
buy two season tickets to the high
school games and voted to raise the
remainder of the $100.00 in some
way.
“'Tnis was a magnificent gift and
the liigh school wished the Civitan
club to know that it greatly appre
ciated their support,” saiil Charles.
SENIOR CLASS MEETS
Tlie Pointer staff are firm believers
in prohibition; hence the reason for
its being so dry.
