sides, with Cooper for G. H. S. having the
odds on for Bessemer. Both teams fielded

of G. IT. S. Guilford pulled off a ciouble
play in the sixth when G. Ferrell got the
ball, and slammed it to Rendall at second,

rally that threatened to swamp Guilford.
Carson struck out nine men and pitched
a very good game of ball throughout the
seven innings in which he worked. Boone,
at 'short, accepted 5 chances without an er
ror, putting up the best exhibition-of field
ing. In addition he got a hit and stole two

son on last Satusday to Winston at Winston
by the one sided score 20-9. The game was
ragged throughout the last 6 innings, the
local pitchers being unable to prove effect
ive. Four pitchers were used by Coach
Philips, none of. whom proved able to stop
the Twin City aggregation. Carson started

The Greensboro ITigh School Debating
Team covered themselves and the school
with much glory in the final debate at
Chapel Hill on April 16th. Both teams won
in the semi-finals and the affirmative team
won the coveted honor of competing for the
Aycock .Memorial cup in the final debate.
They lost to the Durham negative team in
one of the hardest fought contests ever stag
ed in Memorial Hall.
Prof. W. S. Bernard presided over the
final debate and Mr. E_ R_ Rankin acted
as secretary. A prowd of about 2500 peo
ple heard the debate and Prof. Horace Will
iams characterized the crowd as the first in
telligent audience he had ever seen hasten
to a debate. The high school students pres
ent were familiar with the subject apd^ex-
pressed opinions about the debate!
The first ..speaker for the affirmative,
James. Hendrix, presented the same clean
cur, ,’pgica! argum.ent and fine fighting .spir
it that is always expected of him. His op
ponent, Mr. Ludlow Rogers, of the Durham
High School, was a polished speaker and
argued the question on the practical side.
He delivered a good argument for the cor
porations aniTchallenged the affirmative to
establish prqof that trade unionism was
right, necessary and expedient. The record
speaker was Allan Stainback. He answered
'the negative speaker by saying that his col
league had already established the fact that
collective bargaining was right in principle
and that he would accept the challenge of
the negative and prove the necessity and ex
pediency of the principle. He did these two
things with a fire and spirit that were un
usual. The last speaker was Miss Hutch
ins of the Durham school. She attacked
the principle and acts of trade unionists and
combated the argument of the second af
firmative speaker.
In rejoinder both teams showed very
good abilit)’ to reply to the contentions of
the opposition and splendid knowledge of
the subject.
T'he judges decided in favor of the nega
tive and the Aycock Memorial Cup went to
the Durham High School. Beautiful gold
iieaais were presented to the four speakers
who contested in the finals
1 he Greensboro High School feels very
proud of her four debaters. They have
worked very hard and have gone a long
way toward establishing for us a most en
viable record among the high schools of the
State.
