G. H. S. WINS STATE BASKET BALL HONORS
DURHAM FALLS FIGHTING AT
FFET OF BRITTON’S BIG FIVE
Greensboro Got Right Down to Busi
ness And by Cageing Shots From
All Angles Won 28 to 20
Greensboro won the state High
School basketball championship Sat
urday night, Mar. 11, by defeating the
Durham High School basketball
quint in Chapel Hill. Bynum Gymna-
zium was crowded to capacity to see
a good game between two good quin
tets. The score was 28 to 20.
The machine like precision of the
Durham outfit succumbed to the fight
ing, aggressive, good shooting Gate
City five. Daniels and Britton caged
the ball from any angle and the whole
team fought hard. In the first period
Durham got in some pretty passing
but could not get near enough
to the goal to make their shots effec
tive due to the five-man defense which
the Greensboro boys had worked up
to perfection. Only one field goal
by Green constituted Durham’s offen
se from the floor. Daniels got the
tip with consistency but the quick
recovei’y of the Durham five got the
ball many times. Daniels made a
beautiful dribbling play in the first
half unassisted but his dribbling cost
his team three fouls. Neither team
got down to work until the last half
but the whistle at the end of the
first found Greensboro on the long
end of a 11 to 6 score.
Ir the second half Greensboro play
ed better ball from the floor and
showed better accuracy for the bas
ket but Durham 'never succeeded in
finding her shooting eye. Joe Britton
mad? several sensational shots and
the clever little Greensboro forward
shot with uncanny skill and accuracy
Buster Green wa.s almost the whole
show for Durham and his foul shoot
ing was a feature of the game but it
availed little as Greensboro played
a different game and made few fouls.
B. Hackney was one of the mainstays
in Durham’s defense but he was in
accurate also when it came to cagiirz
the ball and the end of the game saw
Greensboro ahead by the score of 28
to 20.
The boys led by Coach Parks re
turned home with the first State
Championship that has ever been won
by old G. H. S. in basketball and the
whole school is proud of them, more
so because they had the spirit to get
in and win in spite of the defeats in
the early part of the season.

STOOENISINWEL EXERCISES
Chapel period Monday was very
interesting as many of the leading
business and club men of Greensbo
ro took a part in the program.
Mr. Phillips first told us why we
had so many celebrities with us. He
dien introduced Mr. J. Norman
Wills the chairman of the School
Board.
Mr. Wills told us that the Board
■was interested in every game that
Champions and Future Champions
Harold Sebum.
Here is a fellow who never misses
a practice and who has never been
known to let anything come between
him and his basketball. However
no one doubts the good of all this
stinting and sacrificing when Harold
is seen ont on the floor in action
for he has done old G. H. S. proud
in every game played khis year.
One of his most noticeable traits
is that he always keeps a cool head
and refrains from losing h.s temper
even under the most difficult of con
ditions.
* * *
Joe Brfiton
When the other boys see their val
iant captain thixxw goal after goal
and make such brilliant plays how
can they help from following in his
victorious footsteps? For three years
Joe has put his very best into bas
ketball and the result of it all is
that he has the honor of being cap-
:tain of the first Greensboro Boys’
basketball team to win the state
championship.
* * *
Kenneth Williams.
There are not two better guards
in the state than Kenneth and his
partner. No man on the team has
worked harder and more consistent
ly than Kenneth. He kept the other
team from scoring while his forwards
were piling up the score for G. H. S.
He can come so near guarding two
men, that it scares both of the men.
“Knot’s” the captain for next year
and he’s the naan for it.
Clyde Henderson.
The forward who can throw enough
goals on Clyde to win a game is
some forward. He is on his man all
the time and if another man comes
along he can handle him for a while
too. He also finds the basket once
in a while for a few extra points
'or his team.
* «• *
Garland Daniels
“B^g Dan.” the tower of strength
and never failing bulwark of the
team, has played in every game this
season. His splendid physique and
'-ee-i alertness have made him very
apt in breking up passes and in
throwing goals from every conceiv-
•.ble angle.
The team feels exteremely fortun
ate in being able to count on Gar
land for next year.
SUBS
James Wilkins
Jimmie is one of those calm level
headed fellows who can be put into
a game at any minute and be relied
upon to do the right thing at the
right time. The way he has stuck
to the team through thick and thin
and his devotion for his favorite sport
make us regret that we’ll lose him
this year.
Worth Williams
Although he wasn’t a regular man
on the team, he was “regular” fellow
and always ready to do his part when
needed. And it is perfectly safe to
say that in several games that he
has been called upon to help, he has
helped to make his team win. A
good substitute makes the first team
man work harder. Such is Worth.
Franklin Goodwin.
If the present bespeaks the future
Greensh'oro will have a star player
in Goodwin next year. Though this
is the first year he has gone out for
the team, he has done remarkably
well and after the way in which he
filled the big center’s place was seen,
it is not doubted but that he will
make a name for himself on the team
during the next two years he ha.s
in G. H. S.
* * * +
Earl Sellars
Earl is one of those second string
men who has made the first team
what it is by a natural quickness
and a. keen eye. He usually makes
his plays complete surprises to his
opponents. If he keeps up his present
record he will no doubt be one of the
main stays of the team of ’23.
* * * *
Charles Hainson
If “Charlie” only had a little more
of the bone, muscle, and strength
that “big Dan” has, he would make
the best forwards in the state keep
on the move. According to good
authority, he has basketball in him
and a head to put it out. Next year,
“Charlie” will be found ready t>o fill
one of the vacancies that will be
made by this year’s men leaving.
* * *
Manager Jeff Fordham
Jeff, with his calm rational man
ner and his business-like ways, has
been an ideal manager for the glor
ious championship team. He has al
ways gotten the best possible con
ditions for his men and has helped
G. H. S. maintain her high standards
of clean playing in every way.
G. H. ,S. played, although they were
not usually among those present.
He thought that just as much honor
was due to the substitutes, because
they had to keep training and be
prepared to play just as the regular
team. Mr. Wills was glad of the
recent triumph that has come to our
team, but he was still gladder of
the clean play, true sportsmanship
and building of character that the
victory called for.
Mr. Hewitt, aa leader in the Boy
Scouts was then Introduced. He
said that he was glad to see so many
of his real friends among the boys
and girls in the audience. He knew
that the team had done splendid
work and on this account they would
make fine leaders for the younger
boys who naturally look to athletes
to lead them. He gave the coach
part credit for the splendid work

Monday, March 13, was a Red
Letter day for the girls’ Athletic
Association of Greensboro High
School. On that day a goal was
reached towards which the Associa
tion has been striving for several
years.
The chapel period was turned over
to the Girls’ Athletic Association.
Miss Louise Alexander made an in
teresting talk, in which she congrat
ulated the girls on the progress they
had made in athletics and said that if
they continued in the way in which
they have started, the boys had better
be “looking to their laurels.” Mr.
Archer put in a word of praise for
the girls, also Mr. J. I). Williarris
expressed the pride that the citizens
of Greensboro felt in the athletic
endeavors of the High School girls.
The president of the Athletic Asso
ciation, Neal Jones, then awarded
monograms to the girls who were to
receive them.
By a point system which has been
worked out by Miss Morrow, fifteen
girls received monograms. Eleven
of these received local monograms
for making 200 points in various
athletic activities. Those receiving
“G’s” were Flax McAlister, Eleanor
Barton, Elizabeth Transou, Ellen
Stone, Grey Fetter, Margaret Patter
son, Doris Butner, Marjorie Blair,
Elizabeth Simpson, Isabel Cone, and
Helen Clapp. The other four girls
received state monograms, which sig
nify that those girls have made 40®
