UPSIDE DOWN But Still Smiling I 2 Basketball An attempt to give you a correct and definite resume of the basketball season would be absurd. All of you know the result and how and why we were upside down. Mr. Woodman may ! e offered the grandest bunch of orchids obtainable. His untiring efforts proved his loyalty to a team that seemed to Ik nothing but “common fodder. This was proved later when game after game we were always sailing a few knots behind. How- ever it was imjjossible to take the spirit that was imbedded in the soul of the team. The determination before each game would make anyone believe that the Charlotte High Bas- keteers were invincible. The fine sportsman- ship shown by the entire squad stood out like a shining light on a dark road. (And believe me the road we traveled was dark.) It is almost itn|H ssible to tell you the out standing performer or performance that we had in our hag of tricks. (Voit'll probably say impossible is right.) But we say. you're wrong. 1 Frattare. captain of our basketeers who was given honorable mention on the All- Scholastic team, scored in every game to garner himself a grand total of 70 points, while playing a splendid game for the Green and White warriors. The fine display of sportsmanship shown by every member of the squad is well worth a word of praise. Sportsmanship and clean playing can be executed in other sjx rts and games. In the game of life, true sportsman- ship and clean playing will make a real star out of the poorest per former. Soccer Coach Tichenor began the 1934 soccer sea- son with a wealth of reserve and junior high players but with only three members of the championship eleven of the preceding year. The record of the team was 2 wins. 3 tics, and 4 losses. The season ended successfully by tying the strong Marshall High School team 2-2 with practically all of the school looking on. Track—Cross Country Track in the summer and cross-country in the fall are quite different in many respects but are usually associated Itecause they are both sports in which running is the main factor. The opening of the cross-country season showed Coach Erenstone with a team
