DISPLAY SKILL Gate City Boys’ Pass Grounds Over Goal Just as Time Is Called in Last Quarter. Tying in the secpnd game of the sea son, the Purple Whirlwind met Ashe ville, September 27. Asheville kicked off to Greensboro’s 20-yaTd line and held twice, their huge forwards plowing through the Pur ple line in fine style. When Greens boro kicked, Asheville marched down ithe field to the five-yard line, but here the G. H. S. boys bucked up and held on downs. Greensboro pUnted to the 50-yard line. Asheville fumbled and lost the ball. Norman got 10 through cen ter, but on the next play fumbled, and Asheville recovered. A fleet Ashe ville back tore around end on the next play to be forced out by the secondary defense after progressing 40 yards to wards the Grensboro goal. Here Greens boro held two plunges and got the ball on downs. Two end runs were tried in succession, but failed to gain. Then Ogburn smashed center for a first down. He tried again and gained yardage; but two more around the end plays failed to click, and Goodwin punted to the ten-yard line. Asheville ran the ball back to the 45-yard marker behind good interference. They went outside on the next play, and on the next tried the first forward pass of the game. But Goodwin broke it up and Asheville punted to the 20-yard line. Greensboro tried tackle, and on the next attempt drew an offsides penalty. An around- the-end play was attempted but held, and the quarter ended with Greensboro in possession of the ball on its own ten- yard line. Second Quarter. Opens Goodwin opened the second quarter with a punt to Asheville’s 40-yard line. On the next play Asheville drew a pen alty and made an unsuccessful attempt at an around-the-end play. Once more Asheville fumbled. Greensboro recov*- ered and tried two unsuccessful passes and a plunge and punted out to the five-yard line. Asheville punted from behind the goal to the. 48-yard marker. Then the Purple jerseyed boys started a march down the field, smashing the line for gains which brought them with in five yards of the Bed and Black goal. Ogburn went out to bring the ball op posite the goal and two plays later Goodwin passed to Nicholson for the first score of the game. The dropkick for point went low just as the half ended. Asheville’s kick-off to open the sec ond half was run up to the 20-yard line. Greensboro made first down on off- tackle smashes, and an end play. They tried three line plunges and punted to the 30-yard line from behind the goal. Curtis and Norman advanced the ball for first down, but Asheville held the second time, and the ball passed over. The Mountaineers made first down but were forced to punt out to the 25-yard line. Goodwin went around end for 15 yards, but the play was penalized, and the ball went back. The quarter ended with Greensboro’s ball on her own 20- yard line. Red and Black Scores Asheville bucked up in the last period and stopped Grensboro’s first three plays in a hurry. The ball was booted to the 50-yard line, and after two fruit less attempts a hidden ball play ad vanced it to the 30-yard marker. The Mountaineers made a first down through tackle, tried the line unsuccessfully, and passed to Payne, who carried it over. The Asheville quarterback hit HOCKEY AND SOCCER START SEASON There have been several meetings of the girls’ hockey squad with Miss .Ca mille Brinkley, this year. Miss Brink- ley expresses the fact that she wants eyery girl to work hard in orijer th.at the hockey team may.,win every game, if possible. Practice /for the team will begin this week and every girl who is interested in playing is invited to come out. Girls who have no experience are needed as well as girls with experience. Since soccer is being introduced as a new game for the girls, it will give more girls a chance to play on a squad. There will be twq sqqads. One girl will not be allowed to play on both the soc cer and hockey squads. A game for the hockey team is sched uled with the Burlington team for the 15th of October. This is the first year that Greensboro High School has had a soccer squad, and as yet no games have been sched uled. the line for the extra point, but didn’t make it. On the kick-off Goodwin, who re ceived the ball, was stopped on the 37- yard line. Goodwin took it around the end for eight yards. The next two plays, however, yielded losses, and the ball was booted to Asheville’s 30-yard line. Here, Greensboro held three times. Asheville punted but both teams were off-side. The red-jerseyed center made a wild pass when Miller went back to punt. Asheville recovered, but it was the Gate City boys’ ball with 18 yards to go to win the game. With seconds to play Goodwin tried to pass the ball, but the Mountaineer forwards crowded him and the pass was ground ed. On the next play another pass was tried. This time it grounded over the goal just as time was called. Lineup and summary: Greensboro (6) Pos. Asheville (6) Burroughs Hoffman L. E. Lindeman Andrews L. T. Knight Patton L. G.

Ogburn GREENSBORO PLAYS CHARLOTTE SOON Coach Belding is Looking For ward to This Being a Big Game. TEAM IS WORKING HARD When Mr. Belding was asked who starred in the last game with Asheville he would not name a star, but said: “The average public gives too much credit to the backs and not enough to the line, which, though not so spectacu lar, bears the brunt of the opponents’ attack and opens up the holes for their own ball carrier to slip through. To the eleven, as a team, the credit should be given.’^ In other words, he com mends the football played by the line last week, in contrast to that of the week before. The big game in the coaches’ minds is the one with Charlotte a week from today. In^ the two weks between the Asheville and Charlotte game the fol lowing defects must have been ironed out if hope of winning be entertained. First, the defensive work of the for wards, especially against passes; offen sive passing must be perfected. (In the Asheville game Grensboro completed one out of five passes), and fumbling must be overcome. G. H. S. also lost too much yardage on penalties. The Sanford game shoulo- not be de spised, however. They always have a strong team. In the last nine years Sanford has six times won either the Eastern or State championship. Four years ago they defeated a strong Greensboro team 7-0, so they will very likely prove very worthy opponetns with L. W. Warwick as their coach. Perhaps the biggest improvement is in the playing of the tackles and ends. In the Salisbury game they were de cidedly outplayed, but last week they acquitted themselves well against the big players from the mountains. G.H.S. RESERVES FIGHT ASHEBORO HIGH TEAM Greensboro Men Lose Only Scoring Chabce in First Quarter, Asheboro Lost in Last Quarter. SIX DISPLAYED GOOD FOOTBALL G. H. S. reserves fought Asheboro High Football team to a scoreless tie in a hotly contested battle on a slippery field at Asheboro Thursday, September 2). I’hillips, Apple, Cranford, Siiioak, Wharton, and Carver displayed good football for the Greensboro team. Y'.esterday the reserves were sched uled to play High Point reserves there. The lineup will be practically the same. Greensboro ' High’s squad showed up fairly well in their game with AsheviHe Friday. Although the game ended in a fi-fi tie, Greensboro was battling against a line and backfield whose sheer weight and height were about on the equal with college teams. I think we all enjoyed singing the •new sport song made especially for the Asheville game by Ethel Gray Rogers and Adelaide Fortune, even though their prophecy was not quite correct. To the intense surprise of some of the students. Cheer Leader Harriet Pow ers, who had announced a yell-writing contest for all high school students, stated last week that none of the yells turned in were good enough and ex tended the contest until today. Stu dents, get busy and give us some real 100 per cent G. H. yells!

Save this coupon for “permanent record of the game.” SCORE BY PERIODS EINAl SCORE Greensboro I I SUBSTITUTES We should give the reserves a rous ing cheer for the fine work they did against Asheboro last week. The score is announced elsewhere on this page. G. H. S. reserves are scheduled for another game this wek. After all, the scrubs are the ones who are sometimes responsible for the victory of the first teams, especially if they give the regu lars much competition. We have just been looking at an an cient High Life of 1920; in fact, one of the first ever published, and, delv ing into the sports page, we discovered that G. H.-S. ten years ago, under the leadership of Captain Fordham and Maus, had swept aside all opposition, beating Winston 15-0 and Charlotte 13-7, and licking various other ancient rivals, and had gone into the cham pionship series for the championship of the state, held at Chapel Hill, with colors flying. Playing against Monroe, G. H. S. in the first half just failed to score a touchdown, and in the second half was past midfield when a Monroe player intercepted a pass and raced almost to Greensboro’s two-yard line. With only a few minutes more to play, the Greensboro High line held stub bornly for four downs,, and receiving the ball, attempted to kick the ball out of danger. But tough luck followed her. The ball, which had to be kicked from behind the goal-posts, hit the goal and bounced back, being recovered by a Monroe player for a safety, and the only score of the game. Mon roe won 2-0. But here’s hoping that this year a G. H. S. team may show the same sportsmanship that she exhibited 10 years ago and, besides that, be victo rious. The Purple Wirlwind lived up to its name and proved itself a real fighting eleven against the college-sized Ashe ville team last Friday. Says Lester Belding: “No one star, or stars, held and almost defeated the heavy Asheville team, but it was the whole team functioning as a unit and fighting their best that did it.” Red Goodwin was closely watched, and his usual spectacular end runs failed to take; but the^ honors for defensive work go to him. Ogburn distinguished himself by his offensive work. Of course a tie is not a very satisfac tory result for G. H. S., but with' our linesmen who had showed up so poorly in the first game decisively outplaying men who outweighed them almost 14 pounds to the man, and showing a real fighting spirit, no one around here has been heard complaining. The Girls’ Monogram club held its first meeting Thursday afternoon, Sep tember 26 in room 16. The meeting was called to elect of- • fleers. Margaret Bowles was elected president. Lillian Hauck was made vice- president. For secretary and treasurer, Virginia Brown was elected. The club is reported very small in membership as most of the girls grad uated ill June. There are eight girls who have monograms. These are: -Gladys Barbee, Douglas Long, Priscilla White, Lillian Hauck, Virginia Brown, Elizabeth Sockwell and Elizabeth Leak and Louise Hardin. Two have state monograms, Margaret Bowles and Leila George Cram. Mrs. Nellie Dry Blackburn will be tl^.e faculty adviser for the qlub. The first social meeting will be held Thursday, October 8, at the home of Priscilla White. The club has many interesting plans to work out and great things are ex pected from it. Mrs. Blackburn expects a large number of new members this fall. KIWANIS CLUB MEETS IN G.H.S. CAFETERIA Frdnk P. Hobgood, Noted Author and Local Attorney, Delivers Address of the Evening. MR. MILLER HAS CHARGE OF MUSIC A meeting of the Kiwanis Club, Thursday, September 19, christened the new cafeteria. Frank P. Hobgood, Jr., local attorney and noted author, delivered an address on the cpnstitution. This meeting Tvas held in the form of a banquet at the new high school, celebrating “Constitu tion Week.” Grady Miller, director of public school music, was in charge of the musical program, and Waldo Porter, president of the club, presided. In order to afford the opportunity of inspecting the new high school plant to as many as possible, the wives of the Kiwanians were present; members of the school board and department heads of the high school were also guests of the club. This “was a special meeting, and not the regular ladies’ night meet ing of the club. C. W. PHILLIPS SPEAKS AT SENIOR HI-Y CLUB Voting for New Members Postponed; Members Discuss Problems of Boys’ Life. The Hi-Y Club of G. H. S. held its weekly meeting Monday. After sen tence prayers had been held, the busi ness of applications was discussed.

Mr. Charlie Phillips, the club’s new leader, talked on some of the problems of a boy’s life. These problems were taken up by the club and discussed at length. This meeting proved to be one of the most interesting the Hi-Y Club has had in a long time.
