SIDELIGHTS
Someom' commented on tbe facita-
condition of several members of the
football sAiuad. If the squad is in such
a badly crippled condition that they are
incapable of using a razor Ave suggest
that the Athletic Association hire a
barber. Don’t think that Dave (jiiate
is the only man Ave are talking about.
J’he fumbles de(*reased 50 per cent
in the Leaksville game. There Avere
six in the High Point game and only
three in the Leaksville game. A Leaks
ville man nearly got loose for a touch-
doAvn on one of them. At this rate if
Ave Avin enoAigh games Ave should be
perfect by the final game of the elimi
nation series.
Lexington and Winston play at the
Stadium today. This column is root
ing for l)oth teams and Avishes both of
them luck. G. H. S. Inis tasted defeat
at the hands of each, so either team
Avill make the Purple and Gold fight
for revenge.
G. H. S. Defeats Pomona

WHO?
Who's the very spirit of our football
team’? Who's ahvays there, yelling
like the siren on the fire chief’s car'?
Who comes to eA’ery game, Avith his
funny little cap, and his great round
spectacles, ’most as big as himself?
IVho’s very, A’ery little, but has a A’oice
that no doctor aa IH ever accuse of being
Aveak'? Who sets a good example to
some of those aa’Iio come to the games
and simply Avill not yell? Who ])uts
pel) into all of us, and makes defeat
not so hard to take? AVho's the A’ery
essimce of all G. H. S. tries to be?
Who's fidl of life, cheery, glad of vic
tory, cluHud'ul in spite of defeat, a good
Avinner, a good loser—Avho? Ernest
Hunt, of course!
