First Game
LARGE CROWD EXPECTED
Line-up Not Yet Announced—Sockwell,
Wyrick, Taylor, Sampson, and Gard
ner Are Explected to Play
(i-reensboro s])ort fans and tliost' of

rare taste of the indoor sport Saturday
ui.ijlit, Jannary lb, when the eacji' teams
of Greensboro and Winston-Salem Iliiili
will lock horns on the Galdweil court.
While little is known of the strength
of the Winston outfit it has loiui: been
the custom for the '‘lllack and Gold" to
be represented l)y a scrai)])y outfit and
Saturday's encounter should prove no
'X(“eption. fi'he fact that Winston la'-
ceived two grid setbacks at the hands
of Greensboro luring the i)ast staismi
should prove any extra inducement lu'c-
('ssary to st)ur them on.
As for the G. II. S. outfit, spoid fans
of the state arc' well aware of tlu^ lc:in(i
of team that she turns out and they
juay rest assured that when the oj con
ing whistle sounds Saturday night she
will have five men in there who will
do ever.ythiug in their power to make
the night end in a typical Greensboro
victory. The “Purple and Gold'’ rookie
sqiTad, headed b.v the veterans, Taylor
and W^yrick, are .just at present striking
their rejil form and this encounter
should find them in rare condition to do
battle.
Although no line-up has heen an
nounced, it is a safe het to say that to
morrow’s starting line-up will probably
find Sockwell and W'^yrick at the for
ward positions, Taylor at center and
Sampson and Gardner at guard. Others
\vho will no douht see action are Nor
man, Caviness, and Tackett.

“People Will Some Day Realize
Full Value of Sports,”
Says Coach
HE TALKS TO REPORTERS
Wants Clean, Honest Athletics in G. H. S.
Suggests Reward to Graduates
For High Ideals
Th(' si aft i‘('gr'ls 1 h;d tlie space is so
limited that only a fcnv tilings can lie
said about eaidv of the above players.
WYATT TAYLOR
Wtyatt is the only letter man back for
this year’s varsit.y. He has had t%AO
years’ experience on the squad and in
him Coach I‘ark has an excellent man.
Taylor is an unusual floor Avorker. an
accurate jiasser, and cages the ball
splendidly.
“PETE” WYRICK
“Pete" returns this year AAith one
year’s experience on the squad. Al
though he did not make his letter last
season he saAv plentj' of action as for-
Avard and should be in condition to go
great this .vear. “Pete” is Ioav in stature
but his great speed and ability to score
far overshadoAv this minor point.
HERMAN GARDNER
Although this is “Caveman’s” first
year out, the first practices have
already shOAvn his ability. “Herm” is
running floor guard on the first five,
and is shoAving up Avonderfully Avell.
CHARLES LAMBERT
Charlie is .iust another man on the
squad Avho has groAvn six feet. He is
also ncAv to the game this year, but
next season should find him playing
like a veteran.
.lOHN SOCKW’EIfL
.luhn is another six-footer on tlie
squad : in fact, he has about four inches
extra. He is a forAvard Avith imusual
ability to cage baskets and along Avith
this great advantage he does his share
of defensive Avork.
“BOB” CAVENESS
“Bobby” Avas a member of the squad
last year and is making a good shoAv-
ing this season. Bob’s speed and abil
ity to shoot should be a great benefac
tor to him. His ability to jump center
and make a first class guard are Avell
shOAvn.
GORDON MATLOCK
“Mat’’ is another one of those little
felloAvs, but his speed and aggressive
ness, coupled Avith his ability to score,
make him a foi'Avard of the first rank.
NED LIPSCOMB
“Captain Ned” is making his first
debut into basketball. His unusAial
height makes him a splendid guard and
his headAA'ork is a great benefit to the
team.
ELBERT SAMPSON
“Samp” AAms on the squad for a short
time last year, and Avith the use of the
experience he receiA’ed he is going
strong at guard this year. “Samp” has
a cool head and his art in sizing uj)
plays is very good.
LEROY ’PACKE’r’r
“'rack" is auotiier man from last
yt'ar’s squad. He knoAVS the game and
employs his knoAvledge Avhen he is on
the floor. M'hen “Tack" takes his man
he means it, and no one need Avorry
that he Avon’t staj- Avith him. He has
the spirit and the ability.
JACK NORJIAN
Jack Is out for the first time this
year. He is a loAver classman and
from the ability Avhich he is shoAving
noAv, he Avill he a poAver on the team
in the next tAA’o or three years. He has
the height, and he is learning the game
fast.
RAY LEtYIS
Ray is another of the squad’s giants,
and although this is his first year at
G.H.S., judging by his playing, it is not
his first year on the court.
COACH PARK
Coach is the veteran leader of the
squad, having been at its head for the
past six seasons. It was under him
that G. H. S. Avon its first, last, and
only state championship, and although
he talks little one can tell by the glint
of determination in his eye that it is
his sole ];)urpose at the present to again
have his squad high up in the cham
pionship running.

letics at G. H. S., said, “I Avould like to
see scholarship in athletics placed on
eiiual basis Avith scholarship in school.
In years to come the people Avill realize
more, hoAV much good athletics'' have
done and hOAV much good they aauII do.
“All the boys that AA’ent out for foot
ball Avorked harder during that period
than any other time so they could pass
tAVo-thirds of their subjects and keep
playing on the team. After the foot
ball season Avas over, some of the boys
began to lag in their school Avork. The
boys have nothing to make them Avork
for.
“Some people have the idea that only
rough-necks go out for athletics, but
this is not true. AVe Avant to get rid
of this notion.
“I Avould like to have suggestions
from the student body on some plan to
make the boys of G. H. S. AV'ork and
reach the highest goal in athletics. If
it Avould help, a reAvard might be given
at each graduating class for the best
athlete. This Avould be a .great honor.
“AVhat we Avant in G. II. S. is clean,
honest athletics, and to get athletics
on equal basis Avith scholarship. Boys,
AAmrk for it.”
GREENSBORO QUINT

Ferrell of Guilford and Taylor of
Greensboro
GAME JANUARY 7 AT CALDWELL
Shaking off the jinx that has been
parked on their heels for the greater
part of this season, the Greensboro
High quint handed Guilford a 2(5 to 24
defeat at CaldAvell gym January 7, and
consequently avenged the defeat hand
ed them earlier in the season by the
Guilford outfit.
Coach Park’s lads got off to an early
lead, demonstrating a flashy brand of
ball, and the half mark found them
resting on the top of a 14 to 0 score.
IIoAvever, Guilford came back strong
after this and. led by their captain,
M illie Ferrell, they shoAved a decided
tendency to score that threatened for
a time to mark the doAvnfall of G. II. S.
Both teams staged a nip and tuck
battle throughout the entire contest,
Avith Greensboro at all times holding
a slight adA’antage. Although the AA'ork
of the Purple and Gold outfit Avas out
standing, the main attraction of the
evening Avas furnished by the opposing
centers, Ferrel, of Guilford, and Taylor,
of Greensboro.
