Page Four HIGH LIFE December 16, 191 FOOTBALL SEASON AT GREENSBORO MGH IS ENDED WITH HONOR Soccer and Football Have One of Most successful Sea sons Ever Known NINE MEN WILL RETURN Soccer Team Shows Much Improvement Over Last Year in Playing to the Finish of Championship The Greensboro High School has just closed one of the most successful sea sons ever known in football athletics. G. II. S. had two teams represented in the state championship series. The football team played Wilmington for the state title and lost in a bitter struggle by the narrow margin of 7 to C. Then the soccer team went to the finals and tied Winston in the last game. The game is to be played, off in the near future. Captained by Theron Brown, the Purple and Gold team played ten games winning six, losing three and tieing one. It opened the season by trimming Reidsville 31-G. The next game was with Asheville and one of the toughest games of the season. Neither team was able to score, and the game ended with a 0-0 score. Greensboro journeyed to Winston the following week, but Winston put it over the locals, 13-6. G. IT. S. suffered another defeat at the hands of Lextington a week later. After this the team won five straight victories and were not humbled again until the last game High Point was subdued 13-0 and the championship oi>ened after this game. The Purple WTiirlwind blew through Leaksville, High Point, Monroe and Asheville in the championship series. The final game was played in the Ke nan Stadium at Chapel Hill. A steady rain poured down during the entire game and slowed it up considerably. Wilmington scored early in the first quarter and Brittain kicked goal, which won the game. G. H. S. retali ated in the second quarter but missed the extra point. A chance to win the game came to Greensboro in the third quarter when the ball was advanced to the one-yard line, but it could not be pushed over. The game ended in favor of Wilming ton. T-G. Nine letter men return to build the team of next year besides a fiock of promising substitutes. The prospects seem bright for another good team which may turn out to be of cham pionship calibre. Bill Petree will cap tain the team next year. The soccer team showed much im provement over last year, and is rap idly becoming popular at G. H. S. The sport has been played only two years at hiith school and in this time a team has been developed which went to the finish of the state championship. BILL PETEEE SOCCER TEAM LOSES TO CAME CITY BOYS IN CHAMPIONSHIP Purple and Gold Lads Fall Be fore Winston Warriors by Score of 1-0 PLAY IN DRIZZLING RAIN Chambers and Watson Star for G. H. S. Rothrack and Pogleman Lead the Attack For Visiting Team ELECT BIE PETREE Football Letter Men Choose Right Guard Man as Next Year’s Leader WON ALL STATE HONORS At a meeting of the football letter men, held in the cafeteria December 8, Bill Petree was elected captain of the team for 1028. Bill plays right guard on the Purple and Gold team and has received a letter and two stars since entering the high school. Petree has been one of the most de pendable men in the line this year. He has played brilliantly in every game, always being a constant threat on defense and a terrific driver on the oft’ense. He has been mentioned lor all- state honors by several newspapermen and coaches throughout the state. Besides being on the football team Petree has represented his semester for two years on the student council. He has served capably in this position and his fellow students have placed much confidence in him. Since his Freshman year he has been a member of the band and orchestra, showing much talent in music. The instrument that he plays is the clarinet. The coaches and members of the team were the guests of Mrs. Comer at a dinner given in the cafeteria and it was at this time that Petree was elected captain. G.H.S. COACHES SELECT ALL-STATE GRID TEAM Greensboro High School lost another state championship by one point when the Winston-Salem soccer team defeat ed Greensboro 1-0 Monday, December 9, at the Memorial Stadium. It was a hard fought game from start to finish, both teams fighting valiantly to pro tect their goals. The game started with a rush and in the first few minutes Winston scored the lone tally that won the game. Both teams were in a jam near Greensboro’s goal line and, in the scramble. Roth- rock, inside right for Winston, man aged to boot the ball into the goal. After this the Purple and Gold boys were able to cope with the lads from the Camel city but could not do any thing against Winston’s excellent de fense. Every attack was broken up before it came close to their goal and the ball was kept in Greensboro’s ter ritory most of the time. In the second half Greensboro showed hashes of the spirit that aug mented the tie game of last week. The team seemed to go to pieces when it had a chance of scoring. The Purple clad warriors rushed Winston off their feet in the final quarter but lacked the decisive punch to get across a marker. The ball was continually taken down into close proximity of Winston’s goal and W. H. S.’s last line of defense always managed to block the kick. The game ended as Watson was making a desperate effort to send the ball through Winston’s goal. Chambers and Watson were the shin ing lights for Greensboro while Roth- rock and Fogleman led Winston’s at tack. The game was played under cloudy skies and it rained during parts of the contest. The inclement weather reduced the crowd considerably, only a small number witnessing the combat. Lineup is as follows: A. H. S. EXTENDS WISHES FOR VICTORY TO TEAM November 29, 192, Mr. C. W. Phillips, Greensboro, N. C. Dear Charles:— It was a great pleasure to us to have you and your team and the Greensboro rooters visit us last week. We had high hopes of winning from you, but that fine team of yours completely robbed us of one thing we really wanted —a victory. Now that we are out and you are in, we wish you the best of luck. Give Wilmington what you gave us and more of it. (The student body joins me in this request.) It grieved me to lose the game, hut there is still one tiling I love to think about—the fine fellowship enjoyed by the two student bodies. I have not heard one whis])er of bitterness or discontent. A charac teristic comment from tlie students is thus: “Wasn’t that a fine team? Didn’t they play hard? I hope they win the state title. Didn t you love the way their rooters came and pulled for them?” All of that makes me feel good. I hope our pleasant relationships can be successfully continued for many seasons. We wish you success on Satur day at Chapel Hill. Cordially yours, Lee H. Edwakus. flRLS’ BASKETBAU GAMES PLAYED OFF The Juniors Played Freshmen and Sophomores Played Seniors Monday TEAMS IN FINE SHAPE ELECT SCHOFFNER AS BASKETBALL MANAGER Coaches Coletrane, Woodward, and Routh Choose Ed Davant as Cap tain of Squad BIT O’ SPORT The football team has been feted continually since the season has ended. Thursday night they were the guests of the Greensboro Country Club at a dance. There have been several ban quets and the National Theater also entertained the team one night.

December 8. Since the initial praetic-e, Schoftner has been attending the workouts regu larly. and he is very capable of man aging the squad. The team has been hard at work since the call for cagers came forth and Coach Park has molded a team that it will pay to keep an eye on. There are some of the old boys back and these are expected to fill in any gaps that may happen to oc-cur from last year's team. The team seems to be fast getting into shape and at the present rate will mahe whoever wins the championship break records.- This year's team is a ce'mbination of the experienc-e or age and the freshness of yoimg bloc'd. This, in the past, has been a c-embination that is present in every championship team and we hope this year's basketball team will not prove an exc-eption to the rule. Coaches Coltrane. W'oodward and Routh selected these boys on all-state ! football team. They chose four local . boys with Ed Davant as ciiptain.
