A, wore 'easily - victorious last night In the opening of the court sonnon in this city, the visitors being forced to take th little end of a 45 to 21 score. Not only were the local eager possessed of eagle eyp when it camo to tossing the ball at the oval hoop, but they executed spectacular passes, dribbled the ball with ability, broke out their opponents' passes and pre vented' the Winston-Salem players from approaching to within 1S feet of th hoop. . Greenlboro built Ita hopes around not one Individual, but around the entire team. And the locals by their team work far surpassed their op ponents, who took flying chances at caging goals by the long-distance rout. , Standing out as the stellar perform ers of the contest were John Carson and Joe Blair, the former playing gtiard and latter forward. Carson f and Blair figured equally In. the cag ing of goals, but the former threw away many chances to scoro by the passing of the ball to one of his mates. He broke up passes, dribbled through the Winston-Salem defense and was the entire "light" of the secend half. Denny at forward play ed a apectacular game, getting the tap on hla opponent practically every time that th ball was tossed up the referee. The Wlneton-Salem tesm did Jiot loot .good. In fact, they were not gcod. Tesm work waa absent and the game was marred of Interest by their long shots at the basket. One of the visitors, Martin, proved the chief point getter, although he did not swing into action until the sec ond period of play. . Kvory member of the Greensboro squad was given an opportunity to display hla wares and they all showed flashes. ' Shortly after Denny had caged three field goals, he was yank ed out of the game and Shaner went to the pivot position, while Mark Bain took a forward position. The little chap, during his play, caged a pair of goals, one of which was from difficult angle of the floor. Mur- chlson did not play much of a front positions contenting, himself with remaining behind to guard the. op ponent's goal. And he did this well. Clary got Into .the tussle during the last 10 minutes and stood up excep tionally well. . . . The locals went Into the lead when Denny scored a field goal from the 168 Games Will Be Played .
