IIEADEN EEATL’IIES FOR LOSERS
G. H. S. Whole Team Shows Up Well;
Backfield is Particularly
Good.
Friday, October 30th—at Siler City

turn into a regular cyclone when they
defeated Siler City High 59 to 0. Greens
boro completely out cla.ssed their rivals,
scoring in every quarter. CJreen.sboro’s
whole team showed up well, particularly
the backlield.
Captain Watson was taken out of the
game in the early minutes of the first
quarter due to an injury to his shoulder,
which he had hurt several weeks pre
vious.
Mans and Shelton, Clreensboro backs,
made the longest run of the afternoon,
the former with a G5 yard run for a
touchdown, and the latter with a 35 yard
run for a touchdown. I leaden, Siler City
quarterback, was the star of the game
for the losers with his long punting and
with several gains.
'riie game was played in cold weather,
and during the latter part of the game
it started drizzling. A number of fans
from Greensboro motored to Siler City
to witness the game.

Finley must have been asleep along

'Hie Cadet band won the band con

.Some say the Greensboro barmonizers

Wimbi.sh certainly warmed things

Bunny!
Say, did you hear Mr. Phillips yellin
for Oak Ridge?
Mr. Edwards must have come down
from the mountains to warm up a bit.
If he did, he surely landed in the wrong
camp. Sliould have gone to Florida.
Asheville seems to have dealt gently
with Mr. Edwards. Did you notice how
fat and happy he was?

SCRUBS
Everyone has heard of the second team
or the scrubs; but how many students
have ever stopped to think of the type
of man that makes up this team? The
second group is usually thought of as
the men who either lacked the ability
to or did not have the “grit” to stay
in the game and fight.
The scrub team of Greensboro High
School is not made up of either; it is
made up of the men who love the school
and because of this love are willing to
go out to the field every afternoon and
help develop for the high school a win
ning team. Most of the boys of this
group are too light for the regular squad
and they realize that in all probability
chey will not get to play in a single
game all season. Yet they are willing
to go out and work their best in order
that the first team shall be able to get
a good practice. The man on this team
sits on the bench and hears the stands
cheer the other men. He is not jealous
of the praise his fellows receive; on the
other hand, he is the first to tell the
qualities of a good player.
G. H. S. should be glad to have this
type of man in school. The whole stu
dent body should realize that it is on
this man that the school depends and
that he is the man who makes the school
a place to be proud of.
MISS BULLARD’S SCIENCE
CLASS VISITS ARMOUR’S
Tuesday and Wednesday, October 20,
and 21, Miss Bullard took her two classes
in science II, to visit Armour’s Packing
Hou.se and Mason’s Market.
At Armour’s Packing House the class
es were shown the refrigerating plant,
sausage in the making, and the candling
of eggs to see if they are sound. Mr.
Gould talked about the killing of the
different meats and about the by-pro
ducts from these meats.
They saw the different cuts of meat at
Mason's Market and also the refrigerat
ing plant.
The classes are planning to take other
excursions to factories which allow visit
ors. They expect to go through a laun
dry, the flour mills, and the Daily News.
The foundation of every state is the
education of its youth. —Diogenes.
Oak Ridge Bests Local Hi
The Final Score is 52-0
Saturday, October 24, at Hanes field,
Winston-Salem, the W.-S. H. S. Golden
Tornado defeated the G. H. S. Purple
Whirlwind 20 to 0. The game was played
on a wet and soggy field. In the first
and last quarters Greensboro completely
outplayed their Twhi City rivals. One
time Greensboro had the ball on Win
ston's one-yard line but failed to have
enough punch to put the ball over for a
touchdown. Winston’s scoring came as
a direct result of a blocked punt and
two forward passes. Winston booted
the ball over the crossbar for the extra
point with the exception of after the
last touchdown. Buie, a little but fast
back, starred for Winston with his long
runs. Captain Watson and Smith, the
former with his line plunges, and tlie
latter with his long runs, starred for
Greensboro.
A large number of fans from Greens
boro attended the game, and witnessed
what seemed to be more like a swimming
meet tlian a football game. Excellent
spirit was evident in the cheering of both
sides.
FOOTBALL WEATHER
Maybe it’s the tingle and the zip that’s
in the air—
Maybe it's the plunk! of boot on leather.
It might be just the thrill you get when
’leven fellows tear
Along the white streaked grid—and all
together!
Doesn’t make much difference—you can
call it this or that;
You can have your golf or tennis, and
your “Casey at the Bat”,
But you just can’t get around it—
you’ve got to tip your hat
To the game they're playin’ now, in
Football Weather.
There's a whistle—that’s the kick-off,
and a cheer—they've got him
down!
Tliere’s a punt that spirals, archin’—
there! he caught it!
Then there's line-up in a second, and
a flash of legs of brown—
He’s off! What’s that! lie dropped it?
Then who’s got it?
Boy! there’s rippin’ and there’s smashin’,
and there’s streakin’ down the
line.
And there’s passin’ from their quarter
to their end—that Number Nine—
And it looks as if they’d cross our goal—
hold ’em! hold ’em! Fine!
Look! they held ’em! Did you see the
way they fought it?
Then you shiver and cheer a bit, and
out they come again—
And they dig their cleats in deep de
termination !
Then the battle’s on. No touchdown
yet—how many minutes? Ten?
Get in there, gang! Let’s shatter that
formation!
Then whish! go brown legs! Man, he’s
loose! He’ll make it—watch him
go!
It’s over! Cheer, you rooters! Its a
touchdown! Let him know
That you saw those brown legs do it!
Kick the goal? Well, I guess sol
It was kickin’ that he got his reputation!
You can have your crew and ba.seball,
your basketball and golf.
You can talk of bein’ thrilled to see an
ice boat zooming off,
But when Football Weather comes, and
there's that tingle in the air.
You can just let me have football, and
we’ll call it fair and square!

SCRAPS OF PAPER
The horizontal bar, for which so many
boys have been asking, has been erected
in front of Barn “A”. Several of the
boys have been displaying real acroba
tic skill. Each lunch period sees a
crowd of spectators observing the per
formance on this bar.
In the morning before the ringing of
the 8:30 bell, two or three boys may be
seen exhibiting their prowess.
At the sixth period a real acrobat,
Coach 11. E. Johnson, who made the
“Carolina Gym Team” has been show
ing the devotees of the “bar” a few
stunts.
On Thursday, October 15. at the
third period the students of both the
main building and the annexes assembled
in chapel in two separate groups for a
pep meeting.
The main building students composed
the first group, and they learned the new
school song and a few new yells in the
first tw'cnty minutes of the period.
The annexes composed the second
group and in the last twenty minutes
they learned tlie new song and several
new yells.
On October 6, fifty-two girls, accom
panied by Miss Reynolds, enjoyed a
four-mile hike to the Country Club.
There will be hikes every Tuesday, and
the number of miles hiked will be in
creased each time. If one may judge by
the large number that came out for the
first hike, the club will be a great suc
cess this year.
The fame of the Girls’ Athletic Asso
ciation of North Carolina has spread to
all parts of the United States. Miss
Walker received a letter the other day
from Bates College in Maine requesting
information concerning this organization.
The Boys Athletic Association voted
to foster intra-mural basketball at a
meeting lield in Chapel Thursday Octo
ber 10. The new system of inter-class
playing will permit each semester to
have a team except semesters seven and
eight which will probably be combined.
The Caldwell gym and Mclver gym have
been secured for the teams. Each gym
has two courts and a portable basket
so are well equipped to take care of as
many as care to come out. Class bas
ketball is taking the place of class foot
ball this year.
G. H. S. Does Very Good Pass
ing and Punting
BOTH TEAMS PLAY RESERVES
Large Number of Fans Witness Games
Oak Ridge Band Present.
Saturday October 31 at Cone Park,
Oak Ridge defeated Greensboro in all
phases of the game with the exception
of completing passess and with possible
exception of punting. Oak Ridge
sliowed tliat the best interference that
has been seen at Cone Park this sea
son and the Oak Ridge back netted
gains almost every time they carried
the ball. Greensboro showed up best
with their aerial attack, at one time a
pass to Wimbish netted 67 yards which
jnit the ball williin striking distance of
the Oak Ridge goal. But here Oak
Ridge's line held like a stone wall and
Greensboro lost the ball to Oak Ridge
on downs.
Coach Fordham ran his reserves
throughout the game with exception of
the last quarter when he ran in his
first team. This was done with the
I)ossible idea of saving his first string
men for the coming championship. Oak
Ridge sent her second string men in, in
the early part of the game.
Captain Watson retired from the
game after making the initial kick off.
A large number of fans witnessed the
game in spite of the cold weather. Pre
vious to the game Oak Ridge Cadets
held a parade on Elm Street. Oak
Ridge Cadets attended the game in a
body and had with them their crack
band. Between halves Cadets held a
snake dance in the middle of the grid
iron. There was entliusiastic cheering
by the students of both schools.

GRADE 8A SURPASSES
OTHERS IN ATTENDANCE
In an interview Oct, 28, with Miss
Fannie Starr Mitchell, dean of the High
School, she stated that class 8A in Barn
B had a better attendance record for the
past month than any other class in school.
She wishes this to be an example for all
the upper-classmen.
“All excuses for absences are due
the first day the jiupil returns and if he
fails to bring it he is marked unexcused
and five points will be taken from each
subject,” is wdiat she wishes all the stu
dents to bear in mind. However, if there
is a very good reason why the excuse was
not brought, she says that the time will
be extended to 8:45 the second morning.
Miss Mitchell suggested that if the pu
pils would have their excuses written the
night before there would not be such a
rush getting off the next morning.
