ATHLETICS AT S. C. I.
j
I
By a student
Much enthusiasm is manifested in j
| athletics at S. ('. 1. The institution
I has always been proud of the record!
j her teams have made in all branches
in which tley have participated. We
I believe in athletics, because it not
only develops the physique of the
! student, but it furnishes adequate
I training in clean, healthy living; and
proves to be a stepping stone toward
strong, clean manhood and. woman- !
hood. Wo uphold; the ideal of
ing tte game fair, after having train
ed carefully for it. In so doing we
learn one of life's greatest lesson, ? ?
self control; a irreat lesson because
"He that ruletli well his own spirit
|is greater than lie that taketh the
jcitv."
When school started, Coach Rob
erts began getting ready to start
I football. The boys were a little more
experienced this year tha i they were
last, most all of them having ha I
the advantage of last year's training.
They started pratieing hard be
cause they meant to have a team.
Thee slept, walked, thought and
talked football, until Thanksgiving
They had a very successful season,
winning four games, losing two and

tyinfr one. It will be easy to see!
that football is tHje most popular
sport at S. (\ I. The <*irl.s helpeil; the
boys from the side line, where they
gave their voices and some little j
l?rayers in their hearts, to hc!j? them, j
T mi<rht add that the boys beat S. ,
C. I.'s friendly rival S. II. S., at
the end of the season, that beintr
the biggest triumph of all.
After Thanksgiving, Coach Rob- i
erts changed from football to basket
I
ball, a much tamer sport. The girls ,
also participated in this. Although j
ttJTWT i?l?niot so much "inteiivst in j
basketball as foo'ball, we all had '
ball was not as sueeesrful as the j
season was not as successful as the
football season had been. The boys
lo<f more tames than they won, and 1
the worst of all, S. II. S., the enemy
in all sports, beat them. The fprls
came out about even, although S. H.
S. beat one crame and &.C. T. the :
other. There were nine boys and eight !
girls out lor basketball. Then1 was
not so much material to pick the
teams from. Firler the circumstance's
we think we did prcttv well in bas
ketball. Each .team won one iramc a'
the Cnllowhcc Tournament and <rot j
beat the second srnnie; I lie *riils los

Bearing the names of all- heavy

has been unveiled in New Yvk. It

i-.cay weight champ - The trophy is
7 feet 8 inches high and weighs 1,000
pounds. The figure is that of a Roman
boxer. - ?*
bovs to baseball, which lie |
thinks will be inorc siKvesful than j
the other two s|>orts that have just'
been reviewed. Last year the boys
won the Western North Carolina '
Hijrh School Baseball Championship,
and hope to win it again iliis year.
By the way they have started off,
it is promising. They have played
one game with Bryson City. and , one
with Waynesville and . won.*- both
games. Coach Roberts has said that
thev have a -rood chance for the
championship again this year. He has j
two games here this week, let's give f
him support. He has been trying to i
help the town and the school by
patting out ball teams, and, np to
now, no one seems interested, that is
except the school. Let's give Coach
some cooperation and; show him that .
we appreciate what he hns done for
the town and school.
