One Match Decides the Margin
of Victory for the
Salisbury Boys.
G. H. S. Girl Makes Winning Shot In
Last Seconds of Play to Take
One-Point Lead.
With second^left to play, it was
27 in favor of the Old Town girls, but
Jo Lucas, Greensboro forward slipped
in and put it in the basket to make it
a Greensboro victory that the whistle
blew upon, as the G. H, S. girls put it
on the Old Towners by 29-28 at the
Caldwell gym last Friday night.
Starting the season with an almost
entirely green squad. Miss Brinkley has
managed to piece together an outfit that
may not take the championship,
has already licked one of the strongest
opponents that they will be called upon
to face this season.
Play New Girls
All of the girls but Carolyn Hay, the
only varsity player of last ear, Jose
phine Lucas, and Mary Homey, are
aophomores, and they played very cred
itable basketball for their first appear
ance upon the floor.
When the whistle ended the helf, 13
points intervened between the scores
of the two teams, the lucky baker’
dozen leaning to the side of Old Town.
Miss Brinkley gave the girls some pow
erful dope while they were out, how
ever, and the third quarter saw the
start of a rally that finally put it over.
Stage Rally
Team play picked up, the Hay sisters.
Gene and Carolyn, getting,in with some
sterling pass work, Ruth Starling and
Josephine Lucas got real keen on the
basket, and things began to look bright
er. They almost caught up, hut the last
few points were not forthcoming, and
nntitl the last when Lucas got her final
shot through, it looked as if the Town
ers would get the bacon after all.
Lucas and Starling led the Greens
boro girls. Whitman was high for the
visitors.
The girls do not have another home
game until the 23rd when they meet
the Leaksville sextet here.

COACH FOX’S BOXERS
OPEN SEASON TONIGHT
Oak Ridge, With Usual Strength, Fa
vored to Win—Locals Lack
Experience.
GENERAL PROSPECTS LOOK GOOD
The boxing team opens its season
against Oak Ridge tonight, at the Ridge.
I'lie cadets usually have a powerful box
ing team, and as this is the first meet
of the season for them, the locals are
e.vpecting to get a little hard sledding.
The team is getting off to their start
this year with probably the best pros
pects for a good team that they have
ever had, or at least the best prospects
for a good team next season. Approxi
mately twenty boys are out, the best
showing that the squad has had for
quite a time, and has the services of
Coach Fox and Clyde Justice,
the best amateur boxers that has been
seen in this state, for the instruction of
the technique.
As yet no meets have been closed for,
but it is likely that Leakesville and
Oak Ridge will be on the card. A boxing
team must be in the pink before it
enter a meet without the very good
chance of coming out badly battered
as well as beaten; that is one reason
that no early meets have been signed
for,
The material is piactically all green
this year, one letter man and one boy
who won his fight once last year, being
on the list. The letter man, Ballard
May, was not^ able to fight last season,
fine to an injury, but is looked to for
good performance this time. He will
probably fight in the 135 'class. Last
season one of the most pleasing per
formers on the team, in his one fight,
was E. G. Allen, 115 pounder. He is
hack in the squared circle this year.
Other boys with some experience in
cluded Mootefield, 115; Gibson, 145;
Smith, 115, and MeNairy, 125. The
heaviest man on the squad is a sopho
more named Rochell. He will fight 155.
Gregory looks pretty good, in the 145
class, and Lee is another good bet for
this weight. Rees, a football man is
trying for the 135 class.

^ Perhaps best of all the first closed season for sports writers has
been passed over with only one issue of the noble experiment (or what’s
It?) coming out.
No more will oolamns have to be padded, padded, and padded
again to satisfy the terrible printers. f>r best of all there are at least
two baskotball games per week, with boxing and wrestling extra.
As We Were Saying
The two youngest sports of Greensboro high that hold forth in the
time, boxing and wrestling, are elamoring for more snpport, maoor let- rt' JelSir; I” t
ters, and recognition among the chief athletic groups of the school.
To support their claims they point out that of all the teams put out
by the school last year, only the wrestlers and boxers paid for them
selves: the others went in the hole. They exhibit with justifiable pride
the merits of the two sports to the participants themselves. The attrac
tions of the twin athletics to the spectators are shown, again with
perfect justification.
All that is quite 0. K, and we back them up in the support of
these two coming high school sports.
Vi hat keeps the teams in their enforced minor position is the lack
of a strong schedule, including enough home meets for people to get
the chance to go out and get a sample of the ring-side thrills No one
likes something he has not seen and knows nothing about. People are
not going out of town to see a meet on the word .of someone that it will
be worth going to see.
Boys will not go out for a sport that they know little about. Per
haps it would be unique for a man to report for the football squad
when he had seen only two games. But many candidates and potential
candidates for the ranks of the boxers and wrestlers, boys who might
develop into great grapplers or boxers, have never seen more than one
or two high school meets.
And boys won’t go out for a sport that doesn’t have any schedule
. 1 X . 1 . 11 .1 . , ' ,-1 , , minutes it was found that each of the
when the season starts, at least all that should go out, won t.
Salisbury-Greensboro basketball game
last Tuesday night.
The indications seem to point to »
nestling team of winning caliber be
fore the season is up. Two of the
grapplers were in the ring for the first
time, and one of the others was suffer
ing from a sever weight handicap.
Showing that he is li.able to come
through -as expected, Ed Douglas, 125
, threw his opponent in four min
utes. Ed fought 115 .last season with
out particularly marked success, but the
results of his training are already ap
parent.
Captain Bell Wins
As usual, the skipper of the bunch,
Hiram Bell, took his match with a fall,
pinning bis man in about four minutes,
a three-quarter Nelson and leg log be
ing employed. Douglas got his with a
quarter Nelson and body lock.
About the most closely contested bout
f the show was between Steve Doug
las, of Greensboro, and a Salisbury
What we want: A longer boxing and wrestling season, scheduling
at least fifty per cent home meets, and at least five of these in the dura
tion of the winter season.
What the teams should get from that: Status as one of the more
important sports, the backing of the fans.
It Looks Bad
Coach Belding has not cut his squad as he was planning. Reason:
there weren’t enough boys out to slice off any to amount to anything.
Pour letter men are available, the rest of last year’s squad, the jnen
who should be in line for the varsity positions this year, are about half
of them out and the rest unaccounted for. Coach spent time develop
ing them into basketball players, and just as they were coming around,
the season quit. This year they figure they didn’t make it last time so
why try again? So some don’t and the squad is just about where it
was at the start of last season.
This has been repeated year after year; scarcely within the memory
of man has an experienced bunch turned out for basketball.
Our opinion on the subject is the same as that of any loyal citizen
of the school; we want the best team possible for every sport. It is
obvious that his will come almost automatically if the boys who are
going out in their senior year turn out when they are sophomores. By
the time they are seniors they will start the season as seasoned hands,
the team will be a “humdinger.’^ If you don’t believe that, just ask
any coach.
While we are on the subject, there is one boy who has been out for
the team four years. He finally made it last season and should be one
of the best this year. He should be commended for his perseverance.
You are quite welcome Mr. Nicholson.
If You Are Not Tired
The end of the sentence is “you ought to be.’’ Any way the
thought that was expressed briefly once before again comes to the front.
How would you, Mr, Basketball addict like to attend a cage game be
tween Greensboro high and some other institution and see a crowd of
a thousand people? Shucks, you know that is a fairy story if the
game is in Greensboro. But how about four hundred persons ?
Still sounds kinda fairy storyish, what? But it is now within the
realms of a possibility that each of the owners of an activities card
should take it into his head to go to a basketball game for a change,
and really do it, and they would all get the big idea on the same night,
why then we might even have five hundred at the game, eoirnting
crashers and passed in spectators and the two teams.
GRAPPLERS LOSE
INITIAL CONTEST
BY CLOSE SCORE
two hail just about the same time to
his credit. Four minutes more ended
■ith the same result. An additional
quartet of minutes bent the count to
favour the Salisbury youth, and he took
the hard-fought match with a minute
and a half time advantage.
Morrah Underweight
The Greensboro boy who was thought
to be sure of his match in the ’05 group,
Morrah, fought underweight in the 115
division, and lost by four minutes’ time
decision.
Greensboro did not do so well in the
■avies, both Gerringcr and Smoak, 155
pounders, taking the canvas. Gerringcr
hold out four and a half minutes until
Nelson and leg lock got him. Smoak

lock in one and one-half minutes.
GREENSBORO HIGHS WIN
OVER PUBLIC SERVICE
Coach Belding Pleased With Improve
ment—Show Best Form of
the Season.
FESMIKE IS HIGH MAN OF GAME
Personally, we call it pitiful. Last season the five did not fail to
play before a crowd of at least a thousand, if they were playing out of
town. Ill Greensboro they did not generally know that there was any
crowd present. Anybody could preach that this state of affairs would
never do; that it is hardly conductive to the production of a winning
team.
Now what we would do about this—Just persuade every activities
card to go to the basketball games. See it you can get them to drag
their owners along with them.
Showing considerably the best form
of the season up to the first game, the
Greensboro highs triumphed
North Carolina Public Service outfit by
the count of 23-9 on the Caldwell floor,
January 8, in a practice game.
The big change appeared to be in run
ning Red Whitt, erstwhile forward and
center, at guard. Fesmire did a good
job at center, all things considered, and
was high man for the afternoon with
twelve points to hia credit. Forwards
were Norman and Burroughs, and
Wrenn played a good game at the other
guard,
A high light of the game was the play
of Johnson, Public Service forward who
used to play for Oarnliiia several years
ago. He made six of his team’s points
and was always a threat.
The form of the previous game was
completely reversed as the highs held
down the Service men to four points
in the first half, Burroughs played
bank up basketball which is getting to
be what is expected of him. Whitt at
guard, who seemed to be the man who
made all the difference, looked as good
as he has been looking at forward and
eonter.
Coach-Belding was fairly well pleased
with the improvement o%’er thq work of
Monday, that, was shown by his team.
The handling of the ball and general
court play was very f.air, though the

Low Ceiling, Slippery Floor,

Take Measure of Locals.
FINAL COUNT TOTALS 17-6
.V sliiipery floor, a low celling, and
to say the least, peculiar referee, com
bined with a smooth-working Candor
five to make the locals masticate the
oily, dust of the Caudor floor to the
tune of 17-6, on the ninth of this
month. This was the opening game of
the season Cor the boys, but due to the
combination that brought about their
defeat, they did not feel so very bad
over it. The low roof made It impos
sible to shoot from anywhere back of
the foul cdrele. and the oily floor made
it Impossible to get to the circle with
the hall, so there you were. And no
one would begrudge the Candor team
of a little praise, for they played quite
creditable basketball, as they always
have.
The only basket that was made for
GriH'nsboro was put in by Burroxighs, a
forward who suffered somewhat from
the general slipperyness of things, but
made four of his teams s«“xtet of
markers.
Twice did Norman essay to put the
ball through the hoop, and missed both
times. Once did lanky Fesmire try to
drop it in. The rest of the time they
spent ill trying to keep the ball away
from their opponents, and in trying to
keep right side up long enough to get
a play started. They did not succeed
in this latter aim to amount to any
thing at all.
M that the game went uoc so badly
for a while. It was 0-3 at the quarter,
and 6-4 at the half, which might con-
viuet‘ one that the locals have a de
fense that should not be sneezed at
very hard. At the three-quarters they
ran 10-5, which was still not so bad.
Red Whitt, one of the iwteiitiul
threats of the Greensboro afterguard,
shot twice and bounced off the lii'teen-
foot-high top. Thereafter his baud
was out.
When “Big Bob" Stafford, six and
a half footer of Asheville, came hero
last year. Red Whitt took the jump
from him nearly half the time. But II.
Thomas of Candor not only got it away
from Fesmire, but lie out-jumped Nor
man and Whitt, each put in a turn,
as well.
As for the rest of the Candor bunch,
they had a fust, hard playing team,
used to the conditions, one of which
was that a foul could not be called on
an offensive player, no matter what
he did.

Girls Have New Uniforms
The girls’ basketball team has new
uniforms this year, the pattern being
somewhat changed from that of last
year’s uniform. The suits are designed
on the general idea of gym suits, one
piece, and all purple, including purple
i’elt. The sweat shirts are white just
now, hut plans are being made to dye
them gold, so as to work in the second
sehool color. The ukiiforms do not
have numbers. Only about ten of the
first quad girls have the new outfits.

this year again is without a regularly-

Coach Belding appoints a player to act
as captain for that game. The selec

gets the experience that would ordi
narily be received by one or two (al

managers this season, Sherwood Hedge

the job when they go out of town, and
acting as two assistant managers when
they are on home floors. They matched
to see who wpuld go to Candor and
who would go to Salisbury. Sid made
the first ride and Sherwood the second.
GO AGAINST OAK RIDGE THERE
The wrestling team which goes to
f)iik Ridge tonight for ii joint boxing
and wrestling meet with the Cadets has
been working steadily for the past two
weeks,' under the direction of Coach
Herbert Fox, aud Captain Hell. Last
the grappler.s put it on the
Ridgers in a short meet, no weights
i, and they have high hopes of
doing it ngain. The season is a bit
young as yet to be taking on such a
strong opponenr as the Ridgers with
much chance of Greensboro ckiug out
victory, hut Morrah and Hell and
probably Ed Douglas wilLcerlainiy win
heir matche.s. Last time H(>11 threw
ils man in ."4 seconds. If he and .Mi*r-
•ah can reixait, ten points will be ac
counted for right there. If the 115,
and 14.5 can keep from being
thrown, the score should stand 9-10,
and Ed Douglas ought to run a very
fair show to take his match. The 115
will not be so soft, as Koiiry, while a
little green, is developing into a fighter
of the top class. Tlie same Ls true of
Florence and S^teve Douglas, 145-

Tuesday, January 5, 1931. All members
were present except one. Business mat
ters were discussed, and it was decided
that some new members would be taken
into the club as soon as possible. Dues
aud meetings were discussed, and the
next meeting is to be held with Miss
Brinkley as the leader.
The girls wanted to go on two night
trips. They will ^go either to Cone’s
club house or to the Girl Scout camp.
This trip will take place beguining
Friday night following the examina
tions. This outing is looked forward to
with groat interest.
All enjoyable evening was spent at
Mary Horney’s house on Mendenhall
street, say the club members. Refresh
ments were served.
Several groups have ben joined to
gether with the result that more work
being done. There are several girls
these groups who have a sufficient
number of points to get their mono
gram, and they will be taken in next
semester.
Thirteen free throws made good were
what it took to give Salisbury their
two-point margin over Greensboro as
they took the first Greensboro confer-
game, 23-21, at Salisbury last
Tuesday night. Five baskets made the
Salisbury boys, and seven were rung
up for the G. II. S. lads; still the game
slithered out of the hands of the vis
iting team in the ln.st_fleeting moments
Goodman put in two more of the
fatal free throws and made it game for
his side.
;iee the good Coach Belding re
ports that his boy.s played good basket
ball, a rather unusual statement for
him and one which should foretell some
games for t-he credit side before too
long.
Of the 14 fouls called on Greensboro
players, only about three’ were clear
fouls. The rest were more or less ac-
i^ental and entirely unintentional.
After one minute of play in the second
quarter, Burroughs, a forward of ster
ling worth, went out with four person
als, before scoring a single point. Red
Whitt went out ns the final whistle was
getting warmed up. And after getting
the chances, the Salisbury boys went
right on and looped the ball through
the basket, ail but two times.
Fesmire took the initial tip-off nicely

play.s worked well for the first
game, but the fatal foul-shooting could
not be downed.
Miller Scores Freak
The biankedest turnout of all was
sufficient to give the two-point margin.
Miller, Salisbury center, got put in the
corner with Ike Fesmire camped on his
toes trying to get the ball. As ho was
so covered that he could not pass very
well, Miller nonchalantly tossed the
ball BACK over his head and the silly
thing zipped right through the basket.
Norman was the star forward of the
locals, with Whitt and Wrenn doing a
nice duet ns guards. The high man
for the team was Norman, also second
high for the game. So well did the
two guards fulfill their duty that not
one basket was scored by the Salisbury
forwards dlring the entire game.
Feeding the ball, and guarding in top-
notch form. Captain Julien, of Salis
bury, was the star player for his team.
Miller was high man with nine points,
all but one made on baskets.
