\ November 20, 1931 HIGH LIFE Page Three I I ■j Winds Down Pointers by Score of 7-2 in Final Game BURROUGHS STAR Touchdown Made by Captain With Beautiful Interference in Last Minutes of Play. CHANGES MADE IN LINEUP Combination of Elder, Elias. Lee and Ogburn in Backfield Plays Excellent Football. The High Point Black Biaons suf fered a 7 to 2 defeat inflicted by Coach Belding’s Purple Whirlwinds last Fri day at the War Memorial Stadium., This was the most important and also the best game of this season, being won in the last few minutes of play. This game marked the end of the high school gridiron careers of many of Greens boro’s best players. Burroughs Stars Greensboro high has never seen and probably never will see a lone star perform so gallantly and so brightly as did Captain Jack Burroughs closing battle, the end of his gridiron career at Greensboro high school. In the first part of the second quarter Burroughs was knocked out by blows his head, but he quickly came to. the sidelines he watched his teammates fight hard, but hopelessly, through the second and third quarters. In the beginning of the last quarter Burroughs was sent in with the ball Winds’ 20-yard marker. The Winds be gan their march down the field after the ball was brought to their yard line by a punt. Burroughs’ pass was incomplete, but Whitt passed to Burroughs for a 15-yard gain and High Point got a five-yard penalty for being off sides. Whitt completed a pass to Pittman to net 15 yards, Burroughs ceived another pass from Whitt on Bisons 15-yard line for a 2o-yard gain. Whitt skirted left end for two yards. Oghurn made four at center and then pounded his way through center for a first down. With seven yards to go Ogburn gained one yard at center and Whitt completed a pass to Rees for one yard. Behind excellent interference Burroughs ploughed around left end for a touchdown and a victory. Wrenn dropkieked the extra point, making the score 7 to 2 in Greensboro’s favor. Black Bisons Score The Pointers’ only Score was a,safety which came early in the second quarter when Ridge punted to the Winds’ five- yard line. On the first play Elias was back for a pass, but Sizemore, left end for the Bisons, rushed in and downed Elias back of the goal line for a safety. One of the most spectacular .plays of the game was when Burroughs raced 25 yards around left end from his own 13-yard line. In the third quarter Og burn completed a pass to Elias for 25 yards and Pittman made a 30-yard run around left end. Wrenn and Causey Outstanding The whole Greensboro lin played an excellent game, but Burroughs, Wrenn, and Causey were outstanding. Sid Og burn starred in the backfield, doing most of the kicking and made good yardage at center, but he had creditable assistance. High Point backfield honors go to Ridge and Ritchie, with Sizemore, Gate- wood, Shipman, and Copeland outstand ing in the line. Greensboro Pos. High Point Burroughs l.e Shipman Riley J.t T.

SPARKS FROM THE GRIDIRON Basketball Season Gets Underway With the High Point game ringing down the curtain on the Greens boro high football season, Coach Lester Belding will issue the call for candidates of the basketball squad on December 8. The football team did not receive very much support from the student body this year and the local eleven did not have a very success ful season. A wealth of good material was left over from last year and this year’s basketball team should be a winner. Every year an appeal is made to the students to support their team and again this year we make a- plea for the old G. H. S. spirit. The games will probably be played in the Caldwell school gym again this year and all athletic fans are urged to back the locals and encourage them in their battle for state champions. Coach Belding has already proved to be a worthy basketball coach and if the team is supported well his squad should go a long way toward the championship. Not much has been said about the girls’ basketball team yet, but most of last year’s team is back and a promising team has been assembled. Miss Robinson held the first practice session last week and a great many new candidates reported, but Miss Robinson stated that a lot more girls were needed. G.H.S. QUINTET BEGINS PRACTICE DECEMBER EIGHTH G. H. S. PLAYED WITH GRIT GIRLS’ SOCCER TEAM LOSES TWO CONTESTS Winston Eleven Defeats Local Squad in First Games Played on Home Field— Henson, Russell, Stars. Two games have been played by the girls’ Soccer team of Greensboro high and both were losses, Winston-Salem high being the victor in each contest. The first game was played on the local field, and Winston won by the score of 5-1. Keen was the star for Greensboro. The second tilt was a return game in Winston-Salem, and the twin city girls defeated Greensboro by the score of 3-0, at Hanes field, Wagner and Wilson scoring the goals. The Greensboro lineup included Rider, Weisner, Russell, Strunks, Edmonson, Keen, Ray, Hammond, Henson, Jeffress, and Kirby. The substitutions were: Goodwin for Rider, Russell for Strunks, Hurley for Hammond, Bobbitt for Henson, and Barnes for Kirby. The Winston line-up included Wag ner, F. Voss, S. Voss, Wishon, Short, Smith, Addams, Crater, Brookbank, Weeks and Rath. The Purple Whirlwinds went down before the charges of seven hard-fight ing linesmen who ripped through the locals and opened big holes for the driving backs, and were defeated by their old rivals, Winston-Salem, by the score of 19-0 in the Camel City, Satur day, November 7. The Twin City eleven took the ball in midfield to begin the second quarter and scored their first touchdown after a series of line plunges, netting from two to nine yards each. East then plunged through tackle and crossed the goal line. Holton’s pass to Wimbish was good and netted the extra point. The second touchdown came in tl third quarter when Winston’s eleven made a number of successful lines plays, carrying the ball to the two-yard mark er, and then Holton went over left tackle for the touchdown. The try for extra point was missed and the score stood 13-0. Holton furnished the thrill of the game by giving a beautiful exhibition of running when he shot through the line and raced 38 yards for a touch down, making the most outstanding play of the game, and giving the Twin; their third marker. The try for extra point was again incomplete and score ended at 19-0 in Winston’s favor. Greensboro played a pretty fair game and showed a lot of hard fight, with Burroughs and Lee playing good ball. Wall Holton was the most outstanding player for Winston-Salem. Greensboro (0) Pos. W.-S.

The only two games that were played this year, both against Winston-Salem, were lost by the locals. Miss Kate Robinson stated that she was pleased with the showing of most of the players and that a championship team should be developed next year. The practice sessions this year proved to be very successful and showed that a number of girls were interested, but not enough girls came out. Miss Robinson plans to issue a call for candidates earlier next year, and get a team whipped into shape to battle more teams. With plenty of good material left over from this year, next season’s team should be a winner. Theron Brown On All-State Team Theron Brown, former G. H. S. athletic star, has been showing great form at the Univresity of North Carolina this year. In the games he has participated in so far this season, he has proved to be one of the most outstanding players. Pat Miller, well known as a football coach in North Carolina, named Brown on his All-State team as the best left end in this state. Houston Rawing, sport’s editor of the Greensboro Record, rated Brown as one of the most outstanding ends in college football this season, and gave him the left end berth in his selection for All-State honors. Four-Letter Men to Return; Three Last Year Stars Are Missing. TEN GAMES ARE LISTED Locals Drop Freak Game To Danville High Eleven P. Routh Announces Complete Schedule; Five Home Games to Be Played by Locals. Friday 13th Proves Unlucky Friday 13th, true to traditions, was an unlucky day for the Greens boro High eleven, at the Greensboro-Danville football game in Danville, Va., on Friday, November 13. Most of the breaks went to the Danville players, and gave them their touchdowns. The first of luck came in the second quarter, when a Dan ville pass went across the goal line, and was knocked down by two of the Purple Whirlwind players. The bail fell into the hands of a Dan ville man, who had been blocked and was lying on the ground. The player rolled over and placed the ball on the ground, giving Danville their first touchdown. The second play of Old Man Jinx came in the third quarter when a Greensboro punt hit one of the players and bounded back toward the goal line. Ramsay of Danville recovered the ball and raced thirty yards to Greensboro’s five-yard line. The ball was carried over on the next two plays, netting Danville six more points. Captain Jack Burroughs played an unsteady game all day, his usual star playing being greatly missed. Although he played a fairly good game of football, it was nothing like his regular brand of playing. The game ended in a 19-7 victory for Danville. 6—19 RESERVE TEAM WINS 8-0 OVER TWIN-CITY Football season is coming to a close and the boys of Greensboro high school football team should be congratulated by the entire student body on their fine co-operation and good attitude in each game that was played whether it was won or lost. To our minds they are real heroes in the art of playing football and may they keep up the good work. Small in size and strong as an ox fits Ed Lee to a dot. If it wasn’t for a few others, Ed would be doing all the hard work and when he hits that line watch them scatter. Nowlin and Carlson Scored First Mark er for Greensboro in Sec ond Quarter. SCORE THREATENED ONLY TWICE The Greensboro Reserve team their final game of the 1931 season by the score of 8-0 at Southside Park, Win ston-Salem, Saturday, November 7, in a preliminary to the Greensboro-Win- aton varsity game. Greensboro’s first marker came in second quarter. Greensboro took the ball on her own 39-yaTd line to begin this period, and after making two first downs, Nowlin carried the ball around end for 35 yards to Winston’s four-yard line, and Carlson plunged over for touchdown on the next play. The try for extra point was made by a pass, but Greensboro was off sides, and the ref eree penalized Greensboro five yards. Another pass was tried but was incom plete. Two more points were added in third period when Winston kicked to Greensboro, and the ball was returned to the 45-yard line. After making first down, they were forced to punt, and the ball went to Winston’s three- yard line. On the next play Davis, of Winston-Salem, fell back into punting position, and Meroney tackled him be hind the line for a safety, making the score 8-0. The only other threat toward scoring came in the last period when Davis, Winston-Salem halfback, broke loose and ran the ball down the field for 40 yards and was.finally brought down by Floyd Bees, of Greensboro, on the 10- yard line, and the game ended with Greensboro holding the big end of the 8-0 score. 150 Boys Attend Hi-Y Supper About 150 boys attended the Guilford County Hi-Y supper held at the Y. M. C. A. November 23. The Girl Reserves ! in charge of serving the boys. The club was the guest of E. W. Street at the Carolina theater after supper. Boys Please Skip This is strictly to the girls—listen. Have you ever thought about going out for any sport, seriously ? It would be money invested wisely to wager that two-thirds of you have not ever thought about the matter personally. No doubt everyone wishes in a vague sort of way that Greensboro high school could be victorious all around, but few connect themselves with the idea. The facts in the case are that you will enjoy playing basketball, and will be immensely benefitted in personal healtli, if you go out for the squad. Then, too, we have a new coach this year. Perhaps you do not even know her. She would be immensely gratified if she could work with a big squad, besides having a much better chance to put out a winning team. One thing more—there was a good group of candidates out for soccer, but practically all of them were sophomores. Sophomores 'are desirable candidates for anything, particularly for athletics. But there really ought to be a larger percentage of upperclassmen out for basket ball than there are sophomores. Coach L. C. Belding has announced that the first call for candidates of the Greensboro high basketball squad will be issued on December 8. Four Lettor-Men. Return There will be three letter-mnh who will not be back this year, while four members of last year’s squad will re turn to the line-up this year. Those returning are: Fesmire, who made his letter at center last year; Burroughs, last year’s star forward; and Whitt and Wrenn, both guards. Jack Norman, all-around star at G. H, S. last season, Harold Nicholson, and Charles Mclver, are the letter-men who ill not be back this year. Promising Material on Hand Wheii the first whistle blows for the opening practice, a number of promising players will be on the floor. Fes- , long six-foot center, will have to- do some neat playing to hold his place against Jack Brown. Brbwn came out at the last of the season last year_and played in a few of the final games. He proved to be one of the most outstand ing players of the year. Jack had never played basketball before, the re ported last year, but will return this 'ar to try for the center position. Harry Wicker is another promising ndidate who will he back this year. Wicker was out last year and played star ball until he became sick and out tlje rest of the season. Burroughs last year’s all-around star and ■should prove to be the main .threat this year. Ten Games Scheduled A. P. Routh has announced the sched ule for this year as complete and ten games have been listed. The opening game will be played here wit strong Gastonia high quintet January 8.

MILLER LEADS LOCAL RUNNERS The Reserves Finish Good Season The Greensboro high reserve football squad finished the 1931 season by losing only two games. The team was composed of some future varsity stars and had an unusually good record this year. One of the losses was suffered at the hands of the Asheboro varsity and the other the High Point reserves. The reserve squad this year developed some valuable talent for next year’s varsity, and Coach Belding will have less worries when this bunch of experienced material reports next year. This year’s losses were not considered as showing much weakness on the part of the locals because the Asheboro varsity was the first vic tor, and High Point, wdo is noted for its strong reserve squad, gave them their other defeat. Five members of the squad were promoted to the varsity at the close of the season, and are promising material for next year. They are Carlson, Vestal, Meroney, Shelton, and Hodges. All of these players are linesmen, and should come in very handy next year since all but one of the present varsity line will graduate. When Coach Belding tires of whipping raw athletic material into shape, he will be able to find himself a job as a radio announcer. Coach Belding has been announcing the Carolina games for the last three years, and everybody knows how well he does it. Let’s hope he doesn’t decide to take it ujkseriously anytime soon! cross-country squad of Winston Salem high school won its third straight state high school championship over fast field of entries, with a score of 38 points at Hanes Park in Winston, No vember 20.

BOYS COMPLETE SCHEDULE Greensboro’s iMidget football squad ended their schedule with a loss in High Point to the midget Bisons by the score of 12-0 on Armistice Day. Greensboro showed some hard fight ing and good football and held an edge the Pointers in the first and last quarters but could not sto^ Hinkle’s long runs in the other two periods. Elmore Holt, plunging fullback, was the most outstanding player for Greens boro, getting off a lot of good gains on line plunges, while Jenkins and Snead both looked good. Greensboro’s main threats came in the first and last quarters. In the first quarter the ball was placed in scoring distance only to be lost on downs. Ill the fourth period the ball was up to the 10-yard line but Greens boro could not carry it over. High Point’s first score came in the second, quarter when Hinkle tore around end and raced 40 yards for the touchdown. He made a duplicate play for about 30 yards in the next quarter and carried the ball over for the second time. The fry for extra iwint was missed both times and the score ended at 12-0. ODELLS THE aeOllNAS' WEUEST HABDWAtlE HOUSE CHARACTER Tl does not come by acchjent, but as the result of a definite plan carefully worked out. That’s the reason for the superior quality of our printing. McCulloch & Swain The George Washington high school of Danville, Va., won a 19-7 victory Greensboro high at Danville in a game featured by a 75-yard run by Bill Elias Friday, November 13. The Vir ginia eleven received most of the breaks of the game and it seemed as if the old Jinx of Friday 13th, was dealing the locals a full hand of tough luck. Seventy-five Yard Run The most outstanding play of the game came in the third quarter when Elias returned Danville’s kick-off 75 yards for the Whirlwinds only touch down. The ball was bounding down the field from the kick-off following Danville’s second touchdown when Elias took it on his 2o-ya‘rd lines and by the aid of perfect interference raced the remaining 75 yards of the field for the score. This was the most beau tiful run made by the Whirlwinds this season, and the longest seen on the Danville field for quite a while. The Greensboro interference formed 'very quickly and gave Ellas perfect support. Danville’s Freak Plays The first deal of "Lady Luck’’ came in the second quarter when, with Dan ville’s ball on Greensboro’s 30-ynrd line, Durham passed to Brown across the, ^ goal line. The ball was blocked and fell into the hands of Brown who had been knocked down and was lying be hind the Hue. Brown held the ball and •oiled over, placing the ball on the ground for the touchdown. The second streak of luck came in the third quarter. Greensboro failed to make a fir.st down and punted, the kick being blocked. The ball bounded back toward the,goal line and Ramsey recovered, racing 30 yards to Greens boro’s 5-yard marker. i Durham plunged er for the touchdown on the next two plays. The try for extra point was missed and the game stood at 12-0. Greensboro Scores Seven Bill Elias made his great run on the return of the kick-off following this play. The touchdown was followed by the extra point and Greensboro's hopes for a victory were increased as the • score mounted to 12-7. The ball went from one end of the field to the other as both teams fought to reach the other’s goal. Neither team was able to score until the latter part of the fourth quarter when a series of line plunges by Whedbee was followed by two complete passes, netting the Vir ginians a touchdown. This time the try for extra point was good and the ' M hirlwind’s hopes faded as the game ‘ ended 19-7. Line-up and summary': Greensboro (7) Pos.
