The Boys’ Literary Society of Room 103 was called to order for the first time this year by the president, Hoyt Boone. As there were no minutes the society went at once to the program. The first number was a debate, “Resolved, That N. C. should prohibit the importation of foreign labor. ’ ’ The affirmative, which won, was upheld by E. Barker and D. Crabtree. The negative was upheld by B. Brown and J. Eiehorn.. Tlie judges for the debate were Clary, (iooper and Mr. Edwards. Special com ment must be made on Bichorn’s paper and the manner in which he delivered it. The second number, “Humorous Selec tions,” by B. Clenients, was put across in fine style ahd kept the whole body in an uproar the entire time. The third number, “inventions,” by P. Clarke, was very interesting, in that he showed very clearly the operation of the wireless telephone, one of the latest inven tions on the market. After the program the president gave us a very interesting talk on the game that is to be staged here next Thursday and of the possibilities of winning that game — what it would mean to the high school. He also irrged a large attendance to be on hand at the contest. .1 ALUMNI AND EXCHANGES I used to think 1 knew I knew.

The Charlotte High School eleven, play ing the Greensboro High School lads on the local gi-idiron Thursday afternoon, at tempted one too many forward passes, for in the middle of the last quarter, with the score 7 to 7, Hendrix, Greensboro’s star right half-back, intercepted one of Char lotte's passes, foxuid an open place in Charlotte’s line, and pranced 80 yards down the field with the pigskin, landing it within three yards of the goal line. This play, the outstanding feature of a thrilling contest, was followed by a brace of line plunges, and the game was won 13 to 7, and Greensboro found herself with only Monroe between her and the championship of western North Carolina. Being the first Thanksgiving game play ed in Greensboro in many years, and the pivotal battel of the High School series, it was witnessed by no less than 2,000 enthu siastic spectators, men and women, boys and girls from Greensboro, Charlotte, High Point, Ijexington and other towns filling Cone Park comfortably full. The intere.5t never slackened, and at the brilliant plays caused those on the sidelines and in the grandstand fairly to bubble over with en thusiasm. Although outnumbered, Charlotte root ers never failed to let all know they were on the field and to boost their players wi+h rigor. Greensboro boosters were equally whole-souled in their suuport of tlieir elev en, and all through the game, as well a,s aftar it, were an exultant throng. The contest was clearly one of brilliant individual playing versus splendid team work; Charlotte’s aggregation fitting into the later category. For Greensboro such players as Hendrix, Daniels, Grimsley and Fordham, and well nigh every member of the squad, did excellent individual work, but theii- efforts were directed almost ex clusively to line plunges and end runs. Charlotte, on the other hand, worked the forward pass to excellent advantage—until the fatal fourth quarter, and even then, following Greemsboro’s last touchdown, made considerable , headway toward its goal by consecutive forward passes. Greensboro scored first in the initial quarter. Charlotte kicked off, but soon the ball was in Charlotte’s territory, where it remained for the greater part of the first quarter. Ballard’s end run of 10 yards, Hendrix’s line plunges, netting 9 yards, Pordham’s plunge for 10 yards, and then another line plunge, and Pordham was across the line for the first touchdown. Daniels kicked the goal. A series of line plunges followed, and the quarter ended with the ball on Greensboro’s 45-yard line. In the second quarter, although no scor ing was done, thrills a-plenty were afford ed, and Charlotte gave Greensboro an op portunity to .show what kind of offensive she was able to put up. A Charlotte man found an opening in' the Greensboro line and advanced with the ball to Greensboro’s five-yard line before he was downed. Char lotte then bucked the line and gained about two yards. She bucked again and again, and on the fourth down the ball was within 12 inches of the goal line. It was then, Greensboro’s ball, and it looked as though a kick w'as called for; but instead of a kick, ordham ploughed his way five yards into Charlotte’s line. Greens boro soon kicked, and the ball belonged to Charlotte. Charlotte used the end run, the line plunge and the punt, but they availed her litte more than nothing, for the first half ended with the ball in the center of the field. The third quarter furnished thrills for . rybody and a toxxchdowu for the Char lotte team. Soon after the quarter started Charlotte had the ball within five yards of the goal. On the third down she was penalized 15 yards. Dorr then made a pretty end I’un for Kl yards, this being the fourth do'wn, li’t looked as if Charlotte had lost one of tier best opportunities for scoring. Greens boro took the pigskin and with a series of line ])hinges and end runs advanced a few yards, bxxt she soon was penalized, placing the ball within one yard of Charlotte’s goal. Here again Greensboro put up a brilliant defensive, and prevented Char lotte from crossing the line. Greensboro again brought into use the end runs and line plunges and succeeded ir ''arrying the ball well away from her ow n - oal. She soon lost nearly all the yard age gained, however, for Bierman, Char- lutte's fxillbaek, received a forward pass, and ran through an open field 20 yards, onlv 1;) be stopped by the skillful tackling 11' Hciid'ix. Here again the forward pass was used,, Bryan passing to Hunter, who was just across the goal when he caxxght the ball. Mallory kicked the goal. The fourth quarter furnished the sensa tion of the game. It was first Greensboro’s ball, then Charlotte’s, Greensboro using her standbys, the end runs and line plunges, and Charlotte depending on for ward passes. Charlotte had the ball with in a fexx' yards of her goal and attempted a lorward pass, which Hendrix intercepted with happy results for Greensboro. With the score 13 to 7 Charlotte tried to score on more forward passes, but all ef forts w'ere xxnsuceesfusl. , Ijine-xip: Gi’eensbox’o (13)—Daniels, c.; Taylor, 1. g. ; Foi'sythe, r. g.; Barker, 1. t.; J.
