IsH. P. C.'s School Spirit Ex-stinkct?~Let's Give An Answer TonightNow is the time for all good studentsto come to the aid of their school. Weare, this week, going to have the badluck to meet Elon and we need your help.You can't let us down. We have to get together.Let's forget all our gripes, quarrels,and troubles and unite for one causeand that is to beat Elon.Of course we're all thinking that weare going to lose and, therefore, we believethat it won't pay to cheer our team.Baloney!Don't tell us that just because wethink that we're going to lose, we won'tbother to cheer our team. Shame on you!Listen, you bunch of saps, we haven't lostthis game yet, and we aren't going to giveElon another victory before they canearn it. Not by a long shot!!!School spirit is getting to be a lot ofbunk in this school. Each of us is goingaround hollering about the lack of schoolspirit and yet we don't do a d - - n thingabout it. We make fun of our losing teamand laugh at their defeats. That isn'tschool spirit and all of you know it.School spirit is an undefinable phrasewhich makes a school. It's the reason whywe have victories. It's the reason why wenever give up until the gun goes off endingthe contest. It's a reason to fightfor. We can't just win a game withoutany interest by the student body whenwe're on the short end of the score. It'sa love for an institution and what it meansto us despite its continual defeats. If theboys on the field of honor think enoughof the school to give their bodily support,then why shouldn't we give our vocal support?They face the possibility of havingbroken bones and serious injuries. Whathave we to give to the cause? Not a thing jexcept the minute and petty discomfortof having a hoarse throat for one night!What right have we pessimists to givethis game away to Elon without a fight?We're yellow, we're cowards, and we'respoiled. Those boys with the uniformsrepresenting H. P. C. have not given Elona victory and they're the ones to decide.If there are any students wagering onElon during the week, we think they arerats and traitors to the cause. Only ratsleave a sinking ship before women andchildren and, by God, we aren't rats. ThisFriday night, on that football field, insteadof 11 fighting hearts, there will be470 hearts and all fighting for the samegoal post.There have been many upsets in footballhistory. We can list a couple hundredsuch every year, but it'll take up too muchspace. Why can't we upset Elon? You'llprobably answer that it won't happen toH. P. C. Well, you're all washed up. Theywere laughing at the Brooklyn Dodgersa couple of years ago, but they didn'tthink that they would win the pennantlast year. The Dodgers were a definitesecond division team about six years ago,but the fans didn't stop coming out. Theyhad faith in their boys. Faith is what welack. In place of the word faith, we havethe word criticism. We've got to abandonthis devil's mask and assume a mask oftrust. Why can't we win? We've got 11men, just the same as they have. Ourman have two arms, two legs, two eyes,and the same characteristics. Of all theupsets that take piace every year, whycan't we cause an upset?This Friday, bring out your bells,noisemakers and, of course, your lungs.Let's make Elon lose some of its cockiness.They think that it'll be a push-over;they're over-confident and we're grim.Maybe they're larger than our boys, butI'll bet you that their fighting hearts arenot any larger than our boys' hearts.We heard the football boys justifiablycomplain of the school's lack of cheeringin the games. They claim that they couldplay better when they know that the studentbody is beside them in the game.Why can't we give it to them? We can,and we will!! Maybe you've heard thethundering cheers from the High PointHigh School stands? They're deafening,aren't they? Why can't we out-cheerthem ? Again, we say, we can and we will!!After this game, it doesn't matterwhether we win or we lose, but it'll provewhether we have school spirit or not. W^must not slacken in the cheering section.We'll holler, we'll bang, we'll stamp, andwe'll jump. We must all unite in this com-ing game; so let's stop taking about schoolspirit and show it for once!!! —L.R.S.Friday, October 31, 1941 THE HI-PO Page ThreeTT.T..TTTTT>TTTTtTTTTTTtTTTT»TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT»»TTtTTTTHOWL OUT SOMESPIRIT TONIGHTHX-PO"" ,TTT """"""SPORTSTT»t..,,TTTTtY,TTTT,..,,,TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTT'TTT TTTTTTT"LET'S GIVE ELON AGREAT BIG FIGHT!AAAA*mAA*AlWltAH**AA*A*AlX+AAAAAAA**Wtlt*W*»................)JA.,,,,. **********««I»»XlAll******t^At*AAt.t*.*».»i».i>....i».i»iA».. ........ .........We Can And We Will Beat Elon Christians!!soi"^SOCCERITES SLAUGHTERU. OF VA., 13-0Well, our boys did it again! Forthe third straight time the soccerteam has beaten their opponents(not counting the two practicegames they also won), without beingscored on at all. The score inall games played up to now standsat 33:2 in H. P. C's. favor.Friday the U. of Va. was theopponent who was our victim by9-0. Their team never did give thered-hot Panthers much trouble,they were helplessly out-classed,even in the second and fourthquarter, when the High Pointsecond team was put in, theycouldn't do much good. Their offensegot stopped every time beforethey got rolling, and theirdefense was quite confused. Attimes their ragged playing helpedus a lot, especially when theystarted passing in front of theirown goal, which is never a veryhealthy practice.The Panthers were not greatlytaxed, but they did a fine job, andkept blasting away with all theyhad. The goals sometimes came sofast that it was hard to keep count.The Cavaliers' goalie would returnthe ball into the game afterit had gone into one corner justas soon as it, had been put intoplay, it went right in again, maybein the other corner for a change.All our boys did a great job, withno exception, and that includes thesecond string, which also held theCavaliers at bay. A special mention,however, goes to Howard Moiran, who started at left inside,and played his first game. And, ohboy, did he play it!Of course, it was a very lopsidedaffair but it is evident that ourteam can not only outclass Vir-LUMSDENThis boy from Baltimore really showed good promises as he playedgreat in his last two games. The boy will start tonight and he'll*probably start the Elonites down-hill.ginia, but bigger teams too.

P. C. 12-0Once again the High Point gridsquad went down in defeat, thistime to Western Carolina Teacher'sCollege, 12-0. Neither outplayednor outfought. The Panthersfell victim to that nemesis ofall ball clubs, the lucky break, inlast Saturday's tilt at Cullowhee.The opening kickoff presagedthe ill fortune that was to dog theteam all afternoon when Shuford,Catamount back, received the balland raced ninety-five yards toscore. As the game progressed, thetwelfth man on the Teacher'ssquad again and again hamperedthe Purple and White and smiledon the opposition. Another longrun at the beginning of the secondquarter accounted for the tilts' finaltally. For the rest of the game,the" Panthers battered futilely atthe victory gates of the Cullowheegoal, but could not push the ballacross the line.WCTC (12) HPC (0)LE—Gibson - FlanaganLT—Jamison _ VeachLG—Hunter FernandezC—GaylorShippRG—Hoyl? _ BolesRT—Barnes _ _ FreemanRE—Gudger LyptakQB—Reese LumsdenFB—LeagonRHB—SmithLHB—ShufordHPCWCTCPetackCaseDitullio.0 0 0 0—0.6 6 0 0—12ELIGIBLE PLAYERS OFBIG FIVE ARE SELECTEDFOR CAROLINA BOWLThe Carolinas bowl game, to besponsored by the Lions Club ofGreenville, S.

C. thisweek to roll over the Panthers (sothey think). This rivalry datesback, oh, so far back and Elon,luckily, has the best of the traditionalseries.The rivalry began in 1927 whenwe beat the Christians by the closescore of 6-0, and then we followedup with another victory in 1928 bythe tune of 13-0. This seemd to bea habit until the Elonites bouncedback in the 3 next years to takethe whole three contests.After a long lay-off from footballfrom 1932 to 1936, in 1937H. P. C. commenced a new footballera by trouncing the Elenas 19-6.Secret was the star of this gameas he scored twice and passed to"Cell" Malfregeot for the thirdtouchdown.From that year on High Pointhas not yet crossed Elon's goalonce! Seventy-eight points havebeen scored by Elon for the pastthree years while we've been humiliatinglyblanked. Last year'sdefeat was heart-breaking. Theboys had a dangerous air-attack,when the heaviest rainfall whichwe've ever seen fell—and with itfell our chances of victory.But this year we can and wewill beat Elon.
