Take 1O1 Straight Wins

HENDERSON, Jan. 90 Up -
North Cardinals top winning

derson High schools girl basket
ball team-1O1 consecutive victor
les.
The long string of triumphs be-
gan in 1888 and last Friday the
Bulldog lassies started on their
second hundred.
The lassies are coached by a
professor who didn't play basket
ball during his Lenoir Rhyme col
lege days and who took over the
sports job because the school
wanted combination teacher
coach.
Bob Harrison got out the rule
book and began studying basket
ball, then he recalled his expert
ence in playing Lacrosse. Il start
ed figuring the tactics used in that
game. A defensive man plays the
offensive one to make the latter
60 where he wants him to. That
seemed like sound reasoning to me
and I put it into operation on this
girls basketball team" he said.
Middleburg high beat Henderson
in 1888 twhen Henderson won 13
of 10 games) and the lassies
haven't lost since. Through five
seasons they've piled up 1862
points against their opponents l..
$50 in the first 100 games.
Henderson, proudest win came
over Dunn in 1941. Both teams
had gone some three years with
out defeat. Henderson trailed most
of the way but put on a fast finish
to triumph, 25-21.
Il carry a squad Of 1920 play
ers," Harrison said land we play
only one or two games week.
We usually played 20 odd games a
year but since the war we've cut
down to around 10 a season.
eve have found our feeder sys-
tenn responsible for the fine teams
we have had. Our junior varsity
gets about as much attention as
the big team and it plays a regu-
lar schedule. On our 1939-4o squad
we had a second team of six
sophomores. They played as a unit
and that team carried us through
two more seasons"
Harrison regards his 1889
team as his best. 1t made 1874
points against 361 for its rivals.
Mary Florence Houghtaling made
538 of the teams points.
Harrison is assisted in coaching
this year by Ann Bartholomew
who came from Eastern Carolina
Teachers College.
Harrison would just as soon lose
game now. He blieves the ten
sion will be too great for his team
to make it 200 in a row. But the
girls think differently. They want
to keen right on winning.
