r Basketball “1 Basketball pot off to a fly in start this season. Our team looks good, and has plenty of ability. They have won five games and lost hut one at this writing. This is a very fair start. The season opened on November 30th, against Webster High School, our tradi- tional opponents on opening night. The game was a good workout for our boys, who won handily. 39 to 9. Webster was able to score but two field goals during the entire game, and these were of the “sieve variety in the closing minutes. The second game with Phelps Acad- emy. proved to be another walk away for the Green and White. Phelps was able to garner but one field goal in the forty minutes of play. We won. 51 to 7. The Shop School game showed more action. Our Technical rivals were out to show us that they could play basketball, too. They were not quite good enough, however, for we won. 26 to 15. The return game with Webster was hard fought and furious. The narrow Webster court bothered our boys con- siderably. and many fouls were called. Again we won. 32 to I 1. in spite of the fact that we were forced to play the clos- ing minutes of the game with four men. as the rest of the players were sent ahead to catch the last train out of town. We struck a snag at Lyons. Unde- feated up to this time, our fellows evi- dently under-rated the Lyons club. We were defeated 25 to 1«. in a game that the Lyons supporters called “thrilling. We, ourselves, got the biggest thrill in the dressing room after the game—Ask the referee, the Lyons coach. Mr. Cham- berlain, or “Patsy Rotundo. Against our Alumni, on January 1th. the team pulled a great “come-back, and for the first time since 1918, and the second time ever, we trimmed our “old grads.” 28 to 18. The basketball team looks good, very good. With such players as. Captain Punnett. Doty, Howe. Cronin. Gaffney. McLaughlin. Henry. Carr and Lewis, we look forward to the balance of the season with anticipation of many victories. One thing that is lacking so far. is the whole-hearted support of the student body. A few loyal backers arc out to every game, rain or shine, but by far the larger part of our spectators consists of students of the other high schools, par- ents. and people at large. I his is too bad! We admittedly have a team that should even better the record of last year’s championship aggregation. 11 RN OUT AND SUPPORT THE TEAM, and show the folks uptown that the good old CHARLOTTE SPIRIT is still very much alive!
