February 14,1930 G.H.S. BASKETBALL FIVE WIN CLOSE STRUGGLE 27-24 Whitt and Norman Shine in Salisbury Game—Curtis Scores High. HIGH LIFE BEAT MEYER’S TEAM 31-10 This Breaks Losing Streak in Which G. H. S. Lost Five Games in a Series. The Greensboro high cage team broke their losing streak and defeated Salis bury in a close game, last Tuesday night, 27-24. The reserves also came across and licked the Meyer’s team 31-10. The local quintet played, at times good basketball, and at times rather ragged ball. Salisbury was always in the game, and rgiht up to the last, was a threat. In fact in the last few min utes of play, Salisbury nearly went in the lead when with the score 22-21, Baker drew two foul shots. But he missed, and Norman and Witten ral lied and held the Salisbury five down until the end of the game. McQuage was high scorer with eleven points. Baker, also of Salisbury, ren dered able assistance, with some excel lent play. Curtis was a flash in the Greensboro offense, and put the ball in the hoop for the first goal, a few seconds after the tip-o;. Whitt showed up well also, on the offense, and for awhile the local boys were diking off, as they have seldom done, this season. Witten, who looked like a small streak down the floor, carried his part of the plays very well. Morris and Curtis, veteran guards, were working at their best against Salisbury. Curtis was high for G. H., S. making eight points. ' McQuage and Goodman, Salisbury forwards were always dangerous, and when they got loose, the fire works usually started. An odd feature of the game: Whitt started out as acting 'captain and was forced out with four personal fouls; Morris was appointed to take his place, and he was also forced out with four [lersonals. In the opener, in which the reserves snowed under the Meyer’s five, Fesmire was the star with fourteen points to his score. Durham led the Meyer’s team in scoring.

BOTH G.H.S. TEAMS PLAY AT CALDWELL Boys Expecting Hard Fight From Asheville—Alexander- Wilson Has Strong Quintet. PLAYERS IN GOOD SHAPE There will be a double header basket ball game, Friday night, February 14, at Caldwell gym at 7:30 o’clock. The girls will meet Alexander-Wilson and the boys will play Asheville. The Asheville visitors are extra good this season, rating second in the West ern conference, with,^ one game lost and six won. In the first game between Greensboro and Alexander-Wilson, Alexauder-Wil- son won, how'ever, general reports have it that the opponents’ team is much stronger and better this year than last, and Coach Brinkley is grooming her charge for a tough struggle. Cram, cen ter, is expected to play her usual good game and fans are looking to McCol lum, flashy forward, to produce some action also. The probable line-up: Girls Pos. Boys McCollum f. Witten-Burroughs Butler g. Norman-Nicholson 3ram e.c Whitt Byrd eg Ray g Curtis Holtz . g Norrhau LOCAL GIRLS FORM SCHOOL HIKING CLUB Meet Physical Education Director Satur day, February 8, and Hike Six Miles on High Point Road. Margaret McCollum, Carolyn Hay, Evelyn Strader, Mary Butler, Virginia Brown and Margaret Byrd formed the hiking club last Saturday, February 8. At this time they hiked about six miles on tbe High Point road. They met Miss Brinkley, physical education teacher, at the Central High at 10 o’elocio last Saturday morning, and after hiking until 4:30, they went to the bowling alley where they finished the day. This is a new organization here in the school, and Miss Brinkley, ex pressed herself as wishing that more girls would enjoy its benefits and pleasures. A hike to Sedgefield is planned for the next time. SPORTS Charlotte has so far won every CKm- ference game that they have played. Asheville is next with Greensboro third from the bottom. Won. Lost Charlotte 0 0 Asheville 6 1 High Point 4 4 Winston 3 4 Greensboro 3 5 Salisbury 1 0 Gastonia 1 7 Despite the waning of the season. Coach Beldiiig is still searching for the right scoring combination. He' does not seem to have found it so far. And something will have to turn up, or the Asheville game tonight will be just another case of “too bad.” Asheville has an unusually pi^werful team this year. Of our basketball team, all but Wit ten and Nicholson have at least one let ter. Norman, Whitt, Curtis and Morris, have basketball letters. Burroughs, Whitt, Norman, Curtis aud Morris have football letters. Whitt, Morris, and Cur tis have baseball letters. Norman has also won a G in track. This seems to us significant; that practically all the letters go to small group of athletes. And it is our belief that there are athletes very nearly -as good as those that wear the big G, that have never “gone out.” That is one reason why we are back ing the new golf team. It will attract boys, who have never participated in sclioo! sports before. And here and now we will say: “Here’s to success for our golfers!” *■»* — - If you did not go to the fight with Leaksville, on the seventh, just ask someone that did, and ten to one they will tell you that measured in enter tainment, that was just about tlie big gest (inai-ter that they ever spent. Now the boxers and wrestlers do not get major letters. But do they not put out as much in training and maybe absorb more punishment, than the par ticipants in any other branch of ath letics? If you believe that these boys de serve major letters, then go to the meets yourself and get your friends out, too. If the team can draw the crowd, they will get the letters. There is no doubt about that. HIGH POINT WINS BASKETBALL GAME Greensboro Goes Down by 31-16 as the Pointers Display Strong Game. G. H. S. IS NOT DANGEROUS High Point High School displayed a consistent game Friday, Februaiy 7 on their home court to defeat Greensboro 31 to 10. In an early season game Greensboro nosed out High Point 14-12. In tins game the Pointers showed a much improved team, being consistent at the basket and guarding tbe Greens boro players well. Ridge, Moftit, and Willard, stood out for High Point, Ridge being the high scorer with ten points, closely followed by Moffit. Norman scoring eight points was the only Greensboro man to find the basket consistently. Coach Beldiiig rushed nil reserve strength into the game in an attempt .to stop High Point but the reserves were as helpless as the varsity. Greensboro seemed to have lost its early season fight and .was especially weak in scoring punch. This was the sixth .defeat, all in a row, that has been handed tbe Gate City five. HOW GIRLS PLAY FOOTBALL Heard at the field bouse the other day as Miss Brinkley's sixth period' girls' gym -lass began: “If only girls could play football I” “You know." said one, “I used to be able to kick a football—but that was a long time ago—^^vhen I played with boys!” “Well, you still do as far as I can see—play with boys! “All right, you sarcastic thing. But I do wish we could. I think I’d like to play end.’’ “And all you know about playing end is from going with one!” “Aw, shut up and give me your com pact” ^ “That's just about what you'd say if we were out on the football field, and I was calling signals—“Aw, shut up, and give me your compact!” And from this conversation we have a most attractive picture of a fast, well- played girl’s football game. Coach Belding has arranged an in dividual merit competition schedule. Details are on tbe bulletin board. Reversing the outcome of the first match, Le'aksville wrestlers came here, February 6, and won over the local grapplers 10-9. Then, also reversing form, G; H. S. boxers stepped out apd produced their first win of the season,, three to two. Leakville Takes the Wrestling The first match was in the 105-pound wrestling class, between Slater, of Leaksville, aud Morrah, of Greensboro. The first four minutes were very even; each grappler nearly had his man, pinned once. Slater came back in the second period and won by a fall, total time seven minutes and forty seconds. Out-matched in size and apparently in weight and age, Ben Avery put up a game fight. In the 115-pound class, against Shorter of T.«aksville. Shorter took a fall in six minutes and fifty- seven seconds. In the 125-pound class, Goldston, Leaksville wrestler, gave Gilmer a tough fight in the first period. Gilmer won the match by five minutes and five seconds time advantage. C. Gillie, Leaksville 135-pouuder, grappled with Captain Bell, and lost by seven minutes aud forty-three sec onds time advantage, giving Greensboro a total of six points. The last wrestling bout was a stall all the way through, with Vest of the Leaksville boxing team doing the stall ing. But Apple, sturdy 145-pounder, did his best to throw him, but couldn’t keep him on the mat. Greensboro took the match by seven minutes and twenty seconds’ time decision. But this match gave the meet to Leaksville, with two falls, counting five points each, against three decisions counting three points each, for Greensboro. The Boxing Goes to G. H. S. Allen vs. J. Gillie, Greensboro, and Leaksville 115-pound “leather pushers,” opened tbe boxing bill. After about the first minute they let boxing go and slugged. Allen seemed to have the edge, with numerous hard rights bounding off .Gillie's jaw. When the bell for the start of the third round sounded, the referee announced that Gillie had with drawn because of an injured wrist. Another boxing bout in the same class followed, Allred, weighing 110 ixnmds representing Greensboro, and Roberts, 117, ropresenting Leaksville. This also degenerated into a slugging match, though Allred displayed some neat boxing at times. The fight went an extra round before the judges gave tbe decision to Roberts. IMoorc, Greensboro; and Goldston, of T.eaksville, demonstrated some fast boxing ill the 125-pound class. Roth are clever boxers, with Moore showing the better use of his left. The decisiou went to Greensboro. Bill Parsons, in the 135-pound class made bis debut against J. Gillie of Leaksville. Parsons displayed ragged boxing but hard hitting, and took the decision. The next iiuitcli was rather a mis match. Wyrick, weight 133, was put against Vest, the Leaksville captain, weight 148. Vest won by a t. k. o. A’est agreed to box ou exhibition against Clyde Justice, despite the fact that he had fought twice already. Jus tice \von with a knockout in twenty- two seconds of the second round. The next meet will be with Oak Itidge, here, next Tuesday night at the C’aldwell gyimiasiuin.
