As the game was called, the Purple Whirlwinds’ sponsor. Miss Betty Harri son, presented the ball to Captain Bur roughs amid the cheers of the sidelines. In the first three quarters Greensboro seemed destined to be the victors, but Salisbury brought up her score in the last quarter. With only five minutes to play, with the ball in their possession, the Salisbury eleven punted to Greens boro’s five-yard line. On the first play Goodwin attempted to punt to safety but the ball was blocked, rolling over the goal line where Shuler, a Salisbury player, fell on it for a touchdown. An extra point was added with a beautiful drop kick bj^ Reeves. Salisbury then kicked off to Greens boro, and the ball rolled far into Greens boro’s territory. Greensboro punted out of danger, and Salisbury received on the 25-yard line, running the ball back 10 yards where the Purple Whirlwdnd pre vented further advances. Greensboro blocked Reeves’ second drop kick, only to be recovered by Shuler who dashed across the goal line for another touch down. Reeves failed to add the extra point that time. I^or the Purple Whirlwind, Captain Burroughs, Goodwin and Shelton stood out prominently, while the entire line was effective on the defense. Shuler, Reeves, Floyd and Ryan showed up to advantage for the visitors, the former two scoring all of Salisbury’s points. Coach Johnson was not inclined to be come disheartened over the showing of his charges, for the opening game was a chance affair, and the Greensboro team showed wonderful defensive skill. The line-up was as follows: Greensboro Salishu ry Burroughs (C) Ryan I.eft end Koenig F. Floyd I^eft tackle Ford Hartman I.eft guard Goodwin Kesler Center Connelly Shuler Right guard Davant Wolf (C) Right tackle Henderson Beaver Right end Williams Talbart Quarter back Hackney Reeves Half back Smith Leonard Half back Watson T. Floyd Full back Summary: Touchdowns — Burroughs, Shuler 2. Points after touchdown— Reeves 1. First downs—Greensboro 1. Substitutions—Coletrane for T. Floyd, Goodman for Leonard, Moorefield for Coletrane. Referee, McAlister; umpire, Richardson; headlinesman, Phillips. G. H. S. is very proud of our new captain, Fred Burroughs, and his squad. Captain Burroughs scored the Purple Whirlwind’s first touchdown of the sea son. The Greensboro team gave the visitors a hard fight and G. H. S. is sure the Purple and Gold will be victorious next time. From the spirit exhibited on the sidelines the Purple Whirlwind may feel sure that G. H. S. is backing them and expects many victories. FRED BURROUGHS To write about a fellow like Fred Bur roughs without bordering on the ex treme is not an easy task—especially at present. For Fred is captain of the G. H. S. Purple Whirlwind. He plays end, and jilays it in such a fashion as to make every student of Greensboro Hi proud that such a man should represent them. Showing in every act, on the field and off, his sportsmanship and gen tlemanly qualities, he has won the ad miration and respect not only of his team mates but of the entire student body. Alvmys unassuming, making no bid for glory by grandstand play, he has played a steady consistent game for three years. Not only on the gridiron, but on both the baseball diamond and the basketball floor he has distinguished himself. In baseball he “shines” at third base, and on the basketball floor his unfailing eye for the basket has won him a place at forward. Fred takes great delight in tearing down the theory that athletes are dumb-bells in everything but ath letics. For in addition to being the pres ident of the Hi-Y and an active mem ber of other school organizations, he is an excellent student. We’re proud of you, Fred, and are glad that you were chosen to carry our colors. CENTRAL HI STUDENTS STAGE “PEP” MEETING Elect Cheer Leaders and Organize to Support the Teams. The whole school came together last Wednesday in mass meeting. After a rousing cheer by the senior cheer lead ers, Mr. Edwards introduced Bob Stone, new treasurer of the Athletic Associ ation, after which he turned the meet ing over to Mr. Johnson and six of the last year’s football team,—Captain Bur roughs, Franklin Goodwin, Billy Koe nig, Vernell Llackney, Mead Connelly and John Ford. All the boys made short talks urging sideline support for the team. Coach Johnson then talked for a few minutes on the same theme, then introduced to the student body the manager, Norman Stone, and Charles Amole and Marvin Isely, his assistants. It was decided that four cheer leaders he elected. In the election that followed Virginia McClamrock and Alec Menden hall were chosen from the senior class, and Margaret Harrison and Elizabeth L^mberger from the junior class. These officers, immediately assumed their re sponsibilities by leading the group in spirited yells. When a man wrongs another he wrongs himself most, and so really is an object of pity, not revenge.—Hubbard. STATE-WIDE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HELD HERE The State is Divided into Ten Dis tricts Instead of Five as Formerly. A meeting of the Athletic Association of North Carolina high school girls was held in the High School, Saturday, Sep tember 27, at 9 a. m. At this time President G. B. Phillips called the vari ous chairmen together for the purpose of discussing athletic plans for the girls in the high school. The state has formerly been divided into five districts for the purpose of promoting athletic activities, but the or ganization has made such wonderful strides that the association in its meet ing Saturday decided to re-district the state. Instead of five districts as for merly, the state is now divided into ten districts with an efficient chairman of each group, the districts and chairmen to be announced later. Those participating in group discus sions were Miss Bonnie Shelton, David son; Miss Olive Smith, Winston-Salem; Miss Ruth Coble, Roanoke Rapids; Mrs. Dunman, Salisbury; Miss Minnie At kinson, Chapel Hill, and Misses Nellie K. Dry and Lillie Walker, of this city. Miss Walker was made official organizer of the association and she will be free to go over the state where needed in starting organizations. Another basketball series will be con ducted this spring by each district chair man, that series to be over by March 1st so as not to interfere with the spring plans of the association. The organiza tion discourages long trips for girls in any sport, but it believes that by being well organized into smaller groups more schools will be brought into the associ ation, and furthermore it will give some phase of athletic activity to a larger group of girls. Already great strides have been made by the association in its three years of pioneer work, and greater plans and larger ones are being prepared for the future. The association feels that they have at last found what is needed for standardizing athletic activities for girls in the North Carolina high schools. In all its work the association seeks to de velop a spirit of high sportsmanship in both girls and leaders. Any standard high school of North Carolina may become a member of the association by adopting the constitution and paying the membership dues, which are $5 per year. The officers of the association for the coming year are: President, G. B. Phil lips, Salisbury; vice-president, C. W. Davis, Wilson; secretary and treasurer. Nellie K. Dry, Greensboro. WITH G. H. S. ATHLETES DURING SUMMER VACATION Coach Johnson played semi-pro base ball in the eastern part of the state during the summer. Burroughs, captain and end, and Young, back, spent the month of Aug ust at the national guard camp in Fort Monroe, Virginia. Two of the tackles, Koenig and Da vant, spent the summer in Greensboro, the former attending summer school and the latter working at the Y. M. C. A. James and Willard Watson had a long journey from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to the eastern part of the state. Connelly and Ford, both playing guard, stayed in town working. In fact most of the husky aspirants spent their time rounding into shape for this year’s prospective battles.
