Davidson led by seven points at the half, but Norman and Curtis started a Greensboro rally that put the»G. H. S. five, within three points of the fresh men.

A hard fighting, close guarding, bas ketball team from Winston-Salem defeated the Greensboro Hi team in a return game at the Caldwell gym, Janu ary 28, to the tune of 25-19. The Twin City reserves opened the evening by winning over the G. H. S. reserve five by 11-19. Greensboro boxers furnished two exhibition bouts between halves, Smith vs. Morefield in the 120-lb. class and Allred vs. Allen, in the 115-lb. class. The reserve game was featured by the play of Fesmire, who was high scorer, and Holden, of Winston. The Greensboro varsity displayed very ragged basketball, passing and shots for field goals being the ragged- est. The Winston five, on the other hand, clicked with the regularity of a well-oiled machine. Southern and Prit chett of Winston looked particularly good. Red Whitt was starring for Greensboro when he was forced to with draw. Winston Pos. Greensboro Atkinson (3) F.’...

Reversing tbeir form after the defeat at the hands of the Pointers last week, our girl’s basketball team produced their besf game of the season to down the Old Town six, 45-20. Despite the seeming ohe-sideduess of the score the game was fought to the final whistle. Team Matches Team From the tip off to the end of the first quarter, the teams contested even ly. The score at the quarter was nine to nine. Then Cram, of G. H. S., put her team in the lead wit;h five field goals in succession. TTie game was marked^ by the excellent team play shown by the locals. Butler Stars Butler, Grenesboro forward, was es pecially outstanding in the way in which she fed the ball to the forwards under the basket, and was to a large extent responsible for her team’s vic tory. Byrd, Holtz, and Hay, produced some exceptional guarding. The G. II. S. pivots and feints were clicking bet ter than in any previous games of the season. McCollum is Good McCollum, flashy forward ^s high scorer for Greensboro with: nineteen points; while Davis led the Old Town girls with a total of 10 points.

Did you ever go to a football game and watch the poor cheer leaders work ing their heads off in the attempt to get the crowd to show a little life and yell? And did you ever go to a boxing or wrestling meet and see the same cheer leaders trying to make the same crowd be quiet? Ain’t it an illustra tion of one of the eccentricities of liii- man nature? Try to make them yell and each rooter imitates a clam. But tell them to be quiet and they will split their throats. And ain’t it peculiar that despite all thft work that we put out to produce this really., excellent sport page, every body says and thinks that it is rotten. GIRL’S RESERVE CLUBS WILL ENTERTAIN HI-Y The G. H. S. Girls Reserve will en tertain all the Hi-Y boys at a dinner next Wednesday night at the Y. W. C. A. Ruth Marley, chairman of the pro gram committee has charge, and the valentine idea will be carried out. This should be a very interesting en tertainment. For the first time this form of a banquet has been held, and it is hoped that it will prove successful. SCHOOL WRESTLERS WIN, DRAW, LOSE Boxing Team Isn’t Successful Thus Far—Moore Wins in Oak Ridge Meet. VICTORY IS SURPRISE CHARLOTTE BEAT LOCAL CAGE TEAM BY SCORE OF 31-12 Inability to Make Tries for Goals Count—Causes Local’s Defeat. CAPT. M’CACHERY STARS Reserves Lose Game 8-25—Pointers Hold Locals Scoreless in Sec ond Half. LEAKSVILLE AND LOCALS SPLIT CARD LAST NIGHT G. H. S. split the boxing and wres tling card with Leaksville. Leaks ville took the wrestling with two falls, giving ten points, against three time decisions, giving nine points to Greensboro. Gilmer, Bell, and Apple won Greensboro’s falls. The Greensboro boxer’s then stepped’ in, and won the boxing three to two. Allen, Moore and Parsons won their matches. The G. H. S. mat team is rounding^ into mid-season form with a draw, a defeat, and a win to its credit in meets ivith Leakesville, Durham, and Oak Ridge. The boxers, probably due to a chronic lack of material, have not been doing so well. Out of the first three meets, Hiram Bell w’on two matches by falls, David Morrah won two falls, Bernard Gilmer took two falls, Avery one fall, and Apple one time decision. Moore, of the boxers, won and drew in the first two meets, and G. B. Mor gan wpn by a technical knockout in Leakesville. The Greensboro victory in the Oak Ridge meet came as a surprise to fans, as it was generally supposed that Oak Ridge would have a much more powerful grappling team than Greensboro. Summary for Durham meet: 106—Fiivin (D) threw Sustaire. 115—Mann (D) threw E. Douglas. 125—Edw'ard (D)- threw Gilmer. 135—Bell (G) threw Yates. 145—Liata (D) won time decision over S.

H. S. varsity lost to Charlotte, 12-31, and the reserves bowed to High Point, 8-25. Before a small crowd, Charlotte dem onstrated the type of basketball that has made them the conference leaders and undoubtedly the strongest high school team in the state. McCachery, the Charlotte captain, was high scorer with 11 points, and looked to be the most polished player’ on the floor. The keynote of Charlotte’s overwhelm ing Greensboro was their accuracy in shooting for the basket. When a Queen City boy shot, he generally dropped it in. Bell, of Charlotte, also performed well, but Charlotte had in the main a whole team of stars. Witten was high scorer for Greens boro with five points. Curtis and Mor ris, Greensboro guards, produced some pretty teamwork. Morris made the first score on a foul shot, but Charlotte retaliated mth three field goals in rapid succession. Witten pulled the most spectacular shot of the game, with -a long throw from the mid dle of the floor into the basket. The reserves were also outclassed by the- High Point reserves. The score was knotted 8-8 at the half, but the Pointers came bach in the sec ond to ring up 17 more points. And they held the Gate City five scoreless for the whole of the last period. Goodwin and Carr did all the starring that was done for Greensboro. An added attraction was a three-round exhibition boxing bout between Aldred and Allen, candidates for the 115-pound berth on the boxing team..

Total, 8. Grumbles and Growls The strongest and most polished team in the state in many opinion^, Char lotte, played here last Tuesday night. An enormous crowd of around one hun dred saw the game. What in the world is the matter with the local public and the student body we can’t imagine. But, we thiuk that if the city, and the local newspapers in particular, wou^d lend’a hand, we could develope at least as good a school spirit as any in the state. In short this; the city of Charlotte is be hind their team every time. And Char lotte has a school spirit and a team that wins. G. H. 8. has been invited to partici pate in the national basket ball tourna ment at Chicago, according to Coach Routli. The invitation will not be ac cepted, however. you are inclined to grumble, just think of last year’s record. The boys’ basketball team has been having a losing streak recently but if And girls athletics don’t draw any suppdi’t at all. Eveiybody that saw the Charlotte game will agree with us that it was well worth the quarter to see the Char lotte team iii action. And that was a mighty nice little fight, between the halves. If you don’t enjoy that one why don’t go again, but it is our fii*m belief that this is all that is necessary; if everyone w’ould go just once, then there wouldn’t be any trouble to get them there the next time. FANS PLANNING GOLF TEAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL A. P. Routh Backs Golders; Meets With Six Sijhools Are Pending at Present. It seems that the golf bug has been, turned loose at G. H^ S. There is a movement on foot to start a golf team, and quite a few boys have evinced their interest in having golf as a school sport. Mr. Routh is promoting the team. Arrangements are being made with Asheville, Charlotte, Salisbury, High Point, Winston, and Raleigh high schools for possible meets. School golf meets at Greensboro will probably be played on the Sedgefield course. Greensboro’s team will be built around Fred Newnham, Frank Aber nathy, and Ed Michaels. Other likely candidates: Prank Caulsey, Sherwlood Hedgepeth, John Nutt, Charles Edwards, Emary Carver, Ben Robinson, Roy Stall ings, and John Gunter.
