Basketball Season Brings Out Girls le girls basketball team is being ;hed again this season by Miss Kate ibinson. le large number of candidates re- ^rting at the first practice were di vided into two groups according to j^^esters to which the girls belong. All candidates coming from semesters tfiree, four, and five report for prac tice on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fri days. while those from semesters six and seven are put through their paces on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. All practice sessions are held at the Y. W. C. A. gymnasium. |Although the team is minus a num ber of last year’s stars, six of them are back this season. They are: Marion iQ^wdman, Eva Mae Edmondson, Helen Ray, Jane Goodwin, captain; Eugenia Hay, and Katherine Ellison. ■Girls out for the quintet are: Elolse IgcLean, Eugenia Hay, Lataine Bart lett, Mary Jane Langston, Marion t 'Odman, Mary Moore Cavan, Annie uise Gunter, Mary Elizabeth School- field, Eva Mae Edmondson, Helen Ray, Apies Butler, Barbara Payne, Jane ^^egg. Garnet Byers, Martha Lan- ^eth, Martha Coons, Mervine Gar rett, Ruth Whaley, Emily Sutton, Eliz- - Meth Pollock, Elizabeth Davis, Jane aoodwin, Katherine Ellison, Rose ^gers, Hortense Jones, Kathleen l^oore, Louise Goodwin, Barbara Behr- - man, Eleanor Kerchner, and Wilder ^ckrel. Back Flaws From the Whirlwinds ’ N. C. Girls Association I Revises Point System ^The N. C. Girls’ Athletic Association hk-s made changes over last year's re crements for the number of points to be received for activities in obtain- tog letters. The changes are; Mem- ([prship on teams, 5 points; attendance at 75% practice, 10 points; participa tion in games, 5 points; participation in individual sports, 5 points. I For the local school letter 200 points are required and 400 for the state let ter. For each additional 100 points IJver the number for state letter, a r will be awarded. The official em- of the N. C. High School Girls’ sociation will be given to any girl nning four stars. I Under the new rules, swimming is aot compulsory for earning the state btter. Football Next Year If we ever have a championship football team it should be next year! Although five boys are graduating that played on the varsity this season, the backfield and the line will be experienced players. Those graduating this year are Captain Elmer Wrenn, Frank Pittman, Charles Elder, Lawrence Wil son, and Bobby Chrysler. Gymnasium Being Erected Hurray! A gymnasium for our high school. We’ve been needing one for a long time. That’s something else to be thankful for in these depression days. The government is building.it in order to'put men to work. It will surely be a help to our basketball and physical education department. Basketball Last Season Last season the whirlwind basketball squad won the North Carolina State college class A high school basketball tourney at Raleigh. The locals placed four men on the all-tournament quint. They were Wicker and Burroughs, forwards; Ike Fesmire, center; and “Red” Whitt, guard. Last season the locals won 15 games and lost only three. The Winds were defeated for the class A Western Conference by Charlotte by two points. This game was the most exciting of the season. There were two extra periods and Charlotte came out on top by only two points. There "were only nine men on the local quint. Basketball This Season The Whirlwind quint will most likely have a pretty skeptical season this year, as only two of last season’s men are back. They are Elmer Wrenn and Amos Shelton. Coach Belding is hoping to get the team into good fighting shape for the first game after Christmas. Prepare For Winter Sports In a few weeks basketball, boxing, and wrestling will be under way for the winter season. Cut of these three sports you should find one which will suit you. Come on out for your own sake and for your school. Credit Where Credit Is Due There are always some fellows on every job who do good work and receive but little credit for it. In football this applies to the reserve squad. They are not cheered by the crowds, but they are out there every day, and without them we wouldn’t have much promise for next year’s varsity team. Every player on the reserve team is entitled to as much, if not more, credit than the first string men. What Is Sportsmanship? Sportsmanship has been discussed and analyzed so frequently that it has become a threadbare subject upon which to discourse. This space is not, taken for the addition of our opinions upon that subject but for the purpose of saying that one of the finest displays of united sportsmanship was seen (and heard) in the stands during the Winston game that has been shown at any meet of the season. Give Your Support Our school sports need backing, not only by the faculty but by the stu dents. Lack of backing of students Is responsible for our high school not putting out champion athletic teams in the last few years. On the students depend the success of our sports as well as the success of the school. Backing up sports means not only attending our contests with other schools, which are as a sad fact, poorly attended; but it means that everyone who is able should go out for some form of athletics. I know of many boys here in the school who would surely be good athletes, but they say it is too much trouble, which is an open declaration of their laziness. Give the Boys Credit The boys on the cross country team deserve more publicity than they receive. “They work hard to bring honors to G. H. S. and should have credit for their ability. Between the halves, these athletes get out on the field and put forth every effort to win first place for their school. Sometimes they don’t succeed, but the willing spirit is not downed by one defeat. These boys merit a place among the sport heroes of G. H. S. Quicken Your Wits Now a personal word to those who prefer their laziness. Come on out and enter into some sport of which you are fond. It will not hurt you, if you are physically able. It will build you up, give you strength, and quicken your wits. Some of you may be diligent scholars and think that you cannot find time from wracking your brains over your studies to take part in sports, but remember that good health and a good physical body should be sought after above all because they are essential to happiness and the best mental work. Reserve Basketball Squad Coach Belding has organized a reserve basketball squad. His quint cor responds to the reserve football squad. It is to get experience as new material. Only sophomores and juniors may be on it. Harry Wicker, last year’s foot ball and basketball star, is coaching this team. His squad will meet teams from Curry, Winston-Salem, High Point, Thomasville, Salisbury, and other high schools. Boxers Doubtful Coach Hamilton’s boxers are facing not so bright a season, with only three lettermen returning. They are Jimmy Tuttle, Jesse Moorefield, and Sam Rees. There will be plenty of hard work to get boxers In other classes in shape for the first meet after Christmas. Beldino Favors Wrenn, Hester For All State Both Boys Made Names In Gridiron Work; Elmer Re mains In Spotlight as Basket ball Captain. In Coach Belding’s opinion, two of the Whirlwind linesmen have played sufficiently well this season to make the '32 all-state high school eleven. The two boys are Captain Wrenn, holding down the position of right guard, and Oka Hester at the pivot position. Steadiness Achieves Excellence Both boys have done excellent grid iron work and have been included in every lineup this fall, their outstand ing playing having befen achieved mainly through steadiness. The past season winds up the high school grid careers of both Wrenn and Hester, but Wrenn will stay in the spot light for a while longer as captain of the Whirl wind quintet.

Dial 8862 862 South Elm Street Football Injuries Prove Fatal to 37 So Far This Year; Less Than Usual Football has again taken Its heavy toll of deaths this season. Records to day show a list of 37 players through out the country who died of injuries received in games. This includes games played on sandlot, club, municipal, high school, and'college gridirons. Of these casualties, 17 were high school players, five college, and 15 sandlot, semi-pro, and club team com petitors. The new rules, made last spring in order to guard against such accidents, seem to have been successful in organ ized college and university teams. This is due to better coaching and stricter officiating under which they play. ’The present figure of 37 is *he sec ond largest number since national rec ords were kept. The greatest was in 1931 with a total of 50 deaths. Up to then the highest number was 20 in 1925. Taking into consideration the num ber of boys who participate In football each season, the fatalities for chis year do not seem large. Authorities esti mate that at least 400,000 high school boys play each year on organized school teams, and unestimated thou sands more on semi-pro, municipal, and unorganized neighborhood teams. Ring and Mat Practice Begins 36 Boxers and 22 Wrestlers Come Out; Three of Former Men and Five of Latter Are Letter Men. Although a large group reported to Coach Hamilton for boxing and Coach Jenrette for wrestling to represent G. H. a. this season, most of them are In experienced. Thirty-six reported for boxing, while twenty-two came out for wrestling on the first day of practice. Of the 36 candidates for boxing only three letter men are back: Jesse Moorefield, Sam Rees, and Jimmy Tuttle. Reese and Tuttle will be unable to take part for several days on account of Injuries. Coach Hamilton expects Moorefield to show up well, as this is his fourth year of boxing. Moorefield made an excellent record last year on the leather throwing team. He will fight m the 140 pound class and Is one of the outstanding contenders for honors in the state meet. Other men back, who were out for this sport last season, are: Vance Mc- Clintock, Hubert Rochelle, Jack Tut tle, Wilbur Smith, Robert Riley, Jack Davis, Joe Smith, Aubrey Haynes, and Ellsworth Gibson. All of these men should show up well this year. The new men are: Alton Brown, Charlie Benbow, Bill Brown, Andrew Schlosser, Joe James, James Crawley, Paul Rider, Haywood Allan, Jerry ’Tliomas, Mal colm Goodwin, Charles Holt. Blondie Henderson, John Davis, Buddy Hyatt, Robert Simmons, Walter Lashley, and F. N. Southard. Candidates for man ager are: Walter Hyatt, Richard Arch er, Roland Fields, Jack Turner, and Ellwood Davis. Coach Hamilton says that he can use several more men. The wrestling team, under a new coach, has an edge over the boxing team by having Fred Koury, a state champion in'his class, and four other letter men: Gerringer, Benbow, Doug las, captain of last year’s team, and Bell. All of these look promising this season. Others who reported are Ly man Golding, Ward Callum, Percy Bostick, Howell Overton, Frank Pol lard, Prank Vanstory, Floyd Harper, Charles Archer, John Partin, Rlgdon Gnmdman, T. E. Stewart. James Mc lver, Charles Lamb, William Nees, Talbot Waynick, Ed Showfety, Dwight Turner, Charles Southerland and Douglas Lawrence.
