PETREE STARS FOR WINSTON
Greensboro Lacks Pep—Game Slow and
Uninteresting—Cheer Leaders In
still Crowd With Enthusiasm.
On Monday night, January 11, at
Winston-Salem, Greensboro High School
went down in defeat before the Winston
basketeers, 13-11. The game was far
from brilliant. Both teams seemed un
able to locate the basket, many shots
being tried and only a very few regis
tering.
Greensboro's defense was slow; they
seemed unable to snap quickly from of
fense to defense, thereby allowing Pe-
tree, the Winston captain, and Beck,
right forward, to continually break
through for goals.
Throughout the whole game the lads
from the Gate City lacked the pep and
vitality that was evident in the previous
encounter. Winston played a quick
snappy game, although this might be
accredited to the large crowd and the
work of the cheer leaders.
The game from a spectators’ point of
view was slow and lacked the thrill of
continual shooting. The score was close
at all times, the first half resulting in
a 3-3 tie. In the third quarter the score
see-sawed back and forth with Winston
leading at the end.
In tlie last three minutes of play a
Greensboro offense started off well but
was discouraged by the loss of the ball
and by l^etree's breaking through for
a neat goal. Greensboro rallied again
but this time the timekeeper's gun broke
up the attack.

half the locals completely outplayed
their rivals from the Twin City.
In the first half the game was very
close, witli Greensboro always in the lead
except one time when the visitors lead by
a small margin. When the whistle blew
to end the first half the score .stood 15
to 12 in favor of Greensboro.
In the second half the locals opened up
with a passing attack that the visitors
could not witlistand. Although the
'Twin City lads jiut up a good fight, it
was simply a case of too much Arnold.

strong on the defense that put an end
to the hopes of much scoring for Wins
ton-Salem.

GREENSBORO HIGH WINS
OVER BESSEMER TEAM
On Friday night, December 18, G.H.S.
won her first basketball victory of the
season over Bessemer High by the score
of 21-21. 'The game was played at Cald
well gymnasium and was witnessed by
a fairly large number of spectators.
H. Briggs was the outstanding player
for Bessemer, scoring a total of 12 points
for his team. Bessemer displayed good
team work throughout the game.
Greensboro produced no individual
star, but the team as a whole made a
much better showing than in the previ
ous games of the season. Passing fea
tured Greensboro playing and the de
crease in the number of fouls was also
very noticeable.

well to Randall Martin, who left Mon
day night to enter N. C. State, and the
McGIamery boys, Wiley and Dillard.
Mr. Casper, leader of the club, made a
splendid talk in which he urged the three
who are leaving to carry the principles
of service and character-building for
which the club stands, into their new
surroundings. The newly-elected presi
dent expressed the sorrow of the club
in losing such outstanding boys as mem
bers.

iioys, and Southern Pines girls were
giie.sts at a delightful ban(]uet, Friday,
December .11, from 7:00 to 10:00, at the
Jefferso.n Club Rooms.
The crowd assembled about seven and
partners were selected by means of foot
ball signals. Then as the couples were
found Mr. Phillips ushered tliem into the
dining hall. After the course supper was
enjoyed, as Mr. Johnson knew the ca
pacity of the Football Boys’ appetites,
numerous toasts were offered and re
sponses given.
Mr. Herbert Johnson, Faculty Manager
of the football team, jiresided as toast
master very efficiently. Guy Hill gave
a toast to the city iii which he thanked
Mr. Cone for tlie use of the ball park;
Daily New.f, High Life, and Record for
publicity they've given the teams, and
Dr. 'I’aJikersley for his aid and support.
Mrs. C. '1'. Lipseoinh responded to this
.and said, “We city mothers and fathers
feel tliat we have fallen sliort of our
ideals as parents but we like to feel that
we are motliers to eacli one, sending you
to college, watching your failures, and
waiting for you to come liack victorious.’'
“•We thank you. High Life, News, and
Record for the write-ups you've given
us. 'I’hey've encouraged us to play bet
ter,".said Dorothy Lea in her toast. As
no member of the i)ress was present with
a toast, a contest of a news article writ
ten by tlie Daily Neivu was held, in
whicly Ned Lipscomb was winner. The
prize being the privilege of telling those
present how the Reporter could write
up the banquet before it happened. “Ask
the News—they know,'’ was his reply.
Mrv G. W. Phillips, principal, respond
ed to Margaret Hood’s toast to the
school. “A strong brilliant mind with no
body to carry that mind is not of much
use. We'll ’fiorgtd; we lost the champion
ship and ’remember that fine spirit that
is ever present in our boys.”
Tlie toast to the teams was given by
Miss Ina Mae Leroy, assistant hockey
coach, and the re])lies were given by

Pines Hockey 'Team, who said that they
enjoyed making friends with Greens
boro; Rose Goodwin, Captain of G. H.
S. Hockey 'I’eam; and Williard Watson,
who brought tlie good s])ortsmanship of
all his team.
The next feature of the program was
a game of nose-hall, in which G. H. S.
varsity boys and S. P. girls participated.
Jimmie Maus struggled with the match
box until liis blushes brought laughter
to the whole audience.
Louis Glascock attributed most of the
success of the teams to Coach Fordham
and Miss Causey in his toast. To this Miss
Causey and Coacii Fordham responded,
and Miss Causey wished the teams luck
in future games.
Mr. Fordham said, “Toasts have been
given to all deserving people, but again
I want to tell Dr. Tankersley that we
appreciate what he has done for us. He
has been with the team to every game
possible and has bandaged many wound
ed limbs—there have been lots of them,
too—and has even taken pictures to
show the teams its mistakes. Next, to
TRACK SEASON TO
START NEAR LAST
OF THIS MONTH
Aycock, Track Coach, Believes
This Year Has Good Mate
rial and Good Prospects.
MANY TRIPS PLANNED
Jackson Shoitz, Holder of World’s
Record for 100 Yard Dash, to
Run at One of the Meets.
In a recent interview, Mr. Aycock,
track coach for the past and coming sea-
.son, said that the track season would
start about the last of January, that
.several trijis were ])Ianned, and that the
team had good material and good pros
pects.
Besides the regular eastern meets,
there will be meets at Davidson, Wake
Forest. Carolina, and probably N. C.
State and others.
No names could be disclosed at such
an early date, but the coach said that
lie team would be strong on long distance
runs and field events liut very weak in
the dashes, the two fastest men, Koenig
and Hackney, liaving left last year.
Jackson Shoitz, who broke the world’s
record for the 100 yard dash last year
at the Central (’arolina meet, and which
record has been properly recognized by
autliorities, will train here for fifteen
days and then run the dash again at one
of tlie meets held liere. He will jirobably
liave able conqietition from a New York
Athletic club and from some of the col
leges in the state.
the student body, your support has been
line, and the cheer leaders have done
sjilendid work. Mr, Phillips has aided
the boys and we hope we have met him
half way. Our faculty manager, Mr.
Herbert Johnson, has been a splendid
manager. He has bad a hard, slow job
taking care of the money, and he has
been right tight with it, but he has done
it well. I want to express our appre
ciation also to Mr. Roberts and to the
people of Greensboro, especially Mrs.
Parsons and Mrs. I>ipscomb. And last
hut not least, the squad iUelf and Guy
Hill, who has stuck by the team on every
occasion. He has shown what a real
student manager can do, and he had my
sympathies when, in Salisbury, he had
two buckets over one arm, and a hand
bag and a doctor’s case in each hand,
and was bawling as loud as he could.
Coletrane is deserving of praise. He has
been with us and has been one of us
through all the struggles.
“M’lien I came to Greensboro 1 found
a different type of hoy, who is cut out
for a man and is bound to make a man.
It liurt me to see my boys whom I had
learned to love come off the Salisbury
field, broken and crippled, but with that
s])irit still there to the very end—and
boys—I am jiroud of you.'’
Willard Watson took charge of elect
ing the new captain. Ned Lipscomb was
chosen. Martha Sykes was elected man
ager of the Hockey team for next year.
Mrs. Richardson of Southern Pines
expressed gratitude of her team to
Greensboro for entertaining them so
nicely and said that they would take
many }ileasant memories home with them.
In closing Mr. Johnson requested the
guests not to blame him “If there is
anything you like or dislike about this
banquet.’’
IIow come it to pass, then that we ap
pear such cowards in reasoning, and so
afraid to stand the test of ridicule.
—Shaft.'ibury.
“Honesty is the best policy,” but he
who acts on that principle is not an
honest man.—Archbishop Whately.
Athletic Representatives Do Splendid Work
There is a group of students at G.H.S.
whose fine work needs mention. This
group of. students is made up of one
athletic representative from each ses
sion room. The duty of these represen
tatives is to take charge of the selling
of the athletic tickets and to try to see
that each person pays his athletic dues
(twenty-five cents) every month. This
is by no means an easy job and each one
of the thirty-one representatives has
done a splendid job.
The representatives from the various
rooms are as follows: Ethel Archer,
Chester Arnold, Louis Brooks, Bill Byers,
J. C. Coe, Virginia Douglas, Shelby
Fitzgerald, Jimmie Forsythe, John Fos
ter, Rose Godwin, Billie Grubbs, Le
Grande Johnson, Willard Watson, Vic
