Burroughs was tlie outsV'ding star of the game scoriug two of fireons- boro’s touchdowns- Coacb Belding sent a well-Wlaoced eleven on the field against the Sanford chargers and the locals got ott to a good start scoring in tlie first Quarter. The Whirlwinds kept the ball —hr San ford’s goal the largest part ^the time and were never seriously f‘.reatened by the opposing team. f The local backfield look* good on wide end runs and off tfkle plays, but the line was weaker tl/n expected on some plays. Sanford players who Doked good were Condor, Buchannon and Brown, in the line and Suggs/Wicker and Utley in the backfield. Suigs, star full back of last year's team, was Injured early in the week and ddn’t get into the game until the last few minutes of the play, leading his team for two first downs. Off to an early start the Whirlwinds hung up their first marker about the middle of the opening quarter when Bill Ellas returned Wicker’s kick off to Greensboro’s 25-yard line. “Bed’ Whitt gained 30 yards on the next play which was a 'vide end around left end but was downed behind the Hue of scrimmage by .Vick and Captai Brown on the next two plays. The next try carried them- to the 14-yard line and Burroughs iiunted over the goal line. Sanford failed in their try for gain and Wicker punted to IVhitt on “'■"SaHfoi'fl’s ■45-yard line. Burroughs scored first marker Whitt's pass to Burroughs was c plete and netted about 15 yards. Elias tore around end for T1 yards and made short gains on two other line plays. Wliitt carried the ball on the next play and after wading tlirough a bunch of tacklers carried the bail around right end for the first touch down. MTiitt tried for the extra point and failed. Burroughs adds two more points. Ed Lee received Captain Brown’s punt from mid-field to start the second half and returned it to Greensboro’s yard line, added IS more on an end run and swept through the line two more times for 8 and 9 yards each. Twelve yards was added by Pittman and then Whitt sailed a pass to Bur roughs who plunged 18 yards for the second touchdown.. Extra point added by Elmer Wrenn. Pittman received Wicker’s kick-off on Greensboro’s 25-yard line and “Bed Egburn, T.«e and Norcum led an ad vance down the field to the six-yard line and Burroughs went back on the next play and shot around end for the third touchdown. Wrenn again added the extra point putting Greensboro ahead 20 to 0. In this period Norcum, playing his first season on the varsity, plunged over the line for a touchdown only to be called back on a penalty. Another advance was made by Greensboro in the final quarter which carried them to the 8-yard line when center’s bad snap was fumbled and covered by Tjee on the 24-yard line. At this point Coach Warrick sent in Suggs who led Sanford on a march down the field just before the final whistle.

FOOTBALL CAPTAIN GIVEN HIGH HONOR Listed in 1931 Edition American Football Annual As Best End in North Carolina. ALL ROUND STAR AT G.H.S. Jack Burroughs, captain of Greensboro high school football team for this year, was placed on the honor roll of the 1931 edition of the Football Annual, and his picture appeared this issue. Q'he magazine is published by a New York city concern and con tains an honor roll and articles of the best all-round football players in the United States. The data for the magazine is gotten together by sports writers who visit the five most outstanding newspapers very state. When the writers asked the Greensboro Dailij Veics for the two best players of high football football North Carolina they were given the names of “Babe” Daniels of Charlotte high school and Jack Burroughs from Greensboro high, Burroughs is an all-round athlete, •inning two letters in football, two in basketball, and one in baseball. Last he was the star end of the foot ball squad and was placed ou the all- state team, He is popular with all the members of the football team and was elected to lead tbe Purple Whirlwind sqilad in their fight for the state cin- ;ice championship, lie is eoiis'd- eved one of the best “pass-snaicher's" liigh school football. Jack was highly praised in the mt^g- azine' and the writers said that he was good a man under a i)ass as seen in the state of North Carolina. Kathleen Crowe Starts Season Kathleen Crowe, selected by Jack Burroughs, captain of the football team, presented the ball to him. After she gave hisn a few words of encour agement, the game started. At the half the future football team, known as the midget team, showed us what they could do. VARSITY RESERVES MIDGETS The entire squad of boys ou£ for football have been divided into three teams: The Varsity, The Reserves, and the Midgets. The Varsity is as follows; Nathan Lipscomb, George Causey, Oka Hester, Harry Phillips, Allan Johnson, Elmer Wrenn, Donald Hunter, Ned Thorburn, Tom Hol land, Hilton Gerringer, Jack Borwn, Ralph Riley, Charles Pemberton, Arnold Dempsey, Jack Burroughs, Isaac Fesmire, Harry Wicker, Ed ward Hartsook, Charles Elder, Branch Fields, Sam Rees, Charles Norcum, Ed Lee, Frank Pittman, Red Whitt, Sidney Ogburn, Bill The Reserves: Jim Applewhite, Bill Boren, Early Crabtree, Ed Clements, Hugh Clement, Carl Car- son, Francis Cooper, Bd Cockman, Davis, E.

SPARKS FROM THE GRIDIRON When the football team goes out of town, there ought to be more Greensboro fans that go with the team. In the past there has not been so many fans going with the team. If more people would go with the team and cheer, it would make the team feel better and would help them win. Mr. Phillips will let you out of school if you want to go to the game. The managers of the past .season’s football team have not been so good as the one this year. I think the job of manager is the least thought of thing as there is in the sports of G. H. S. The manager has to be on the job every afternoon and it is a working job. The assistant manager ought to go on trips with the varsity for he has to •ork and there is the need of two managers when they go off. The teams from most of the conferences carry the assistant manager on the trips. Coach Lester Belding’s Purple Whirlwind went through one of tbe toughest scrimmages of the year, the boys had more pep at night and showed up pretty good. The only touchdown of the evening was made by “Red” Whitt, an end of last year shifted to the backfield for the coming season. When the boys first started this year it looked as if Greensboro needed a kicker badly, it looks as if they have found one in Captain Jack Burroughs. Jack is shifted from end to the backfield to do the kicking. The whole line showed up pretty good. Probably you noticed that several members of Princeton’s foot ball team were suspended from the .squad because after a hot day’s practice they went into a speakeasy to quench their thirst. Needless to say this condition doesn’t bother the football boys at G. H. S. After practice .they may quench their thirst with ice cold water at any of the fountains at G. H. S. Some people are so dumb they think a football coach ha.s four wheels. Why everyone should know that a footliall coach has only two wheels. Why are the boys carrying pillows around? Probably it’s be cause they can’t find any soft spots to sit on in the seats, or else they played “hookey” during the fair. Several members of the football squad who are supposed to be in training attended the fair after the night scrimmage September 23 and who did they see there ? Why no one but Mr. Phillips. Have you seen Bill Elias since he shaved? NEED MORE CANDIDATES This fall for the first tioie a cross country team has been organized in Greensboro high school. Many other high schools hi North Carolina have cross-country teams, so G. 11. S. again tak^Tlier^^ace'^® The purpose of tbe merely for competition of the spor get boxers in shape for this winter’ season and will also develop and keep in shape distance men for next spring’s track team. Ten boys have come out so far. Coach Eouth expects to have around fifteen members in a short time. The boys are practicing daily, but as no meets have been held it is hard to say what shall be expected ofthem. This year there shall be a season of four or six meets. The meets will be held with neighboring schools, most likely schools of the Western Con ference A cross-country team, has not been tried in G. 11.S. before and considerable interest has been shown in the new sport so far. Gallopin Harry Wicker, end on the football squad, has a job about two week ends &aeh month. lastead of being a substitute football player, he is a substitute soda jerker at Pomona Drug Co. Ail of the football boys are smooth shaven now. Greensboro high school now has quite a variety of sports since cross country running has been added to the list. Quite a few students have intimated their desire to get off from school and go to the Charlotte-Greensboro game at Charlotte. Friday, - \V.||en asked about going Mr. Phillip.s said that all students — who are up and ^heir work could go. Carolina pulled an upset to the football tans by deieatlH" Forest 37 to 0. In the hack gaes the scores have been very close and Wake Forest was slated to win thisone. Johnny Peacock, a boy who went into his first football game, received the kickoff on the first play and ran 85 yards for a touchdown. Carolina has a good team under the direction of Clipper Smith who got his coaching from Knute Roekne. GIRLS' BASKETBALL TO BEGIN IN NOV. ‘First Call” of Season Issued—Urge Juniors and Sophomores to Participate. •Uthough girls’ basketball doesn’t be gin until November, the “first call” of the season is being issued to the soph omores and juniors who would like to participate in the games this year. Last ye.ar the basketball team met with an unusually successful season and although one of their best players, Mary Homey, graduated, they ate look ing forward to an equally successful year. Camille Brinkley, former coach, is not witli the team this semester, but Miss Kate Robinson ,a new teacher at r. 11. S., will fill her place. Sophomores have a chance to win a ’G”, if they go out for basketball. Those who are unable to come out for basketball can help by boosting the team and by attendiitg tlie games. GIRLS SIGN FOR SOCCER PLAYING TO BEGIN SOON Teams Will Meet Other Schools; Girls Urged to Enter; Notice to Be Given of First Practice. Girls! Soccer will be played this year. All girls interested in soccer e urged to c-ome out. There will be number of teams and the best one will play against other schools. A no tice will be placed on the bulletin board when time comes to sign up. The failure of the arrival of the equipment is delaying the procedure of practice. As soon as this equipment arrives, soccer will begin. ODELLS THE CtfiOllNAS' dCEUtST HARWAEIE HOUSE Williams-Bennett Radio | Company | B. C. A. Victor | 457 W. Market Street | GREENSBORO, N. C. t We Sell It For Less FOR CASH Belk’s Department Store The game between Green$l)oro and Charlotte should be closer this year than last. Although the Greensboro line did not display a strong defense against Sanford, it is hoped, that, with the experience they will get in the first two games they will he able to stop the strong Char lotte backs. Then, with the co-operation of our backfield, which is fast and shifty, will our team be able to give the opposing elevens a hard fight. The football team is off to a good start. I’m sure all of the students want the purple and gold Whirlwinds to win every single one of their games, however, if the team lost to all the teams except High Point and would beat them, a lot of the students would forget all about the defeats the team suffered. It is a known fact that Greens boro and High Point had rather beat each other than any team in the conference. Have you heard of that “burg” about one hundred miles from here called Charlotte? Well, if you haven’t, just wait until after Octo ber 9 and you will hear them steaming and fuming over the condition old G. H. S.’s football team has left them in. If the Purple Whirl winds ever blew before, it’s going to rage over at Charlotte and leave the place in a wreck. “Wateh out, ‘Queen City’, we’ll be over Octo ber 9. UNIFORMS EXPECTED FOR MIDGET TEAM This Group Will Serve as Sourc Material for Next Year’s Squad. It has been announced that the uni forms for the midget football team are expected soon. This was indeed good news for the players on the mid get team, for they, so far, have been unable to have real practice because of lack of equipment. The midget team is composed en tirely of sophomores whose weight is too liglit to entitle them a place on the first string team. The object of this team is to develop players for the positions left vacant by the graduates. It is expected that Coach Belding will seek a large num ber of first string players from this team next year. Cadets Gain Chas, Mclver. Charlie Mclver, flashy end of the Purple Whirlwinds last year, is now playing with the Oak Ridge Cadets. He is holding down the right tackle berth and is said to be one of their main threats. ichiffman’s FOR HEALTH’S SAKE Bat Fresh FruHs and Vcffelables W. I. Anderson & Go.

CITIZENS ENTERTAIN FOOTBALL SQUAD Business Men of City Take Interest in High School Sports. ROUTH RECEIVES LETTERS The varsity football squad was en tertained Wednesday night by a group of 25 of Greensboro’s most prominent biislnes.s men at Gordon’s restaurant. The group of business men were headed by Max Paine, prominent local sports man. Mr. Paine brought out In a talk the purpose of such a meeting is to create a .better feeling between the boys of the high school and the busi ness men of the city so the boys of the s(iuad may realize that the busi ness men ar^ interested in them. The squad were seated at tables with two players and two merchants. Each mer chant selected a player whom he will t.ake special interest in throughout the football season. Mr. Routh has also received many letters from prominent men wishing the squad the best of luck and pledg ing their support to them. From Mr. Coons, secretary of Y. M. C. A., comes this, “I had rather see a G. H. S. foot- l)all game than many played in Yale bowl.” Dr. Tankersley says, wish tbe H. S. football squad the best of luck and pledge my wholehearted support to them.” Judges Reeves, rep resenting the American Business club says, ”If you think of any way our club ■“'n be of assistance to the squad, please us know.” Mr. do not fail to ert Mosely and Mr. Hewitt, of the school board, wish them the best of luck. STRONG BACKS Shows Good Form in Initial Game—Line Has Room for Improvement. GREENSBORO HIGH HAS NEW FOOTBALL TEAM Coach Hamilton'Arranges Games With Barium Springs, High Point, and Winston for Midgets. Due to the smallness of Greensboro high reserves, Coach^ Belding plans to have a “Midget” team. To be oq the midget squad the players must weigh under 115 iwunds. A fast eleven is being drilled into sliape from the forty- odd candidates by Coach “Bill” Ilamil- A midget team enables the smallest boys who would not be able to make ttio varsity or reserve eleven, to learn the fundamentals of football and get into some real games. Although the squad Is small, Coach Hamilton had produced a fast line and shifty baek- fleld. Games have been arranged with Ba- ium Springs midgets and al.so High ’oint and Winston. This will be tlie first time such a team ha.s appeared at G. 11. S. and new interest has been aroused. -J e-wel Box- Now Opposite Imperial Theatre "Sipccial Terms to High School Stud-ents’ Don’t be fooled bv free offers or cut rate prices 1 We have notliing to give away!

Coach I.«ster Belding has had his Purple Whirlwinds down to hard work following their 20 to 0 victory over the Sanford eleven in preparation for the battle with the Reidsville squad in the Stadium Friday night. Belding has had the backs working 1 tackling and blocking and has put the linemen through a stiff workout at line scrimmage against the system used by Reidsville. The varsity line during the scrimmage was composed of practically the same players that started against Sanford while the sec ond string line was made up of Demp sey and Roiland, tackles; Hunter and Johnson, guards; and Hester, center. The backfield looked good in tlie San ford game and got off some,nice runs on off tackle and wide end plays, and Belding has a problem on his hands to decide between Elias, Lee, Pittman, Og- buru, and Whitt, who are staging a close race for tbe half-back positions. At fullback Norcum and Fields look good and are having a fight between themselves. Coach Belding says his team looks pretty good and he was pleased with the results of last Friday’s game, but he thinks the team has still to prove itself against a strong opponent. The Reidsville game will probably be a harder test for the locals as they are considered to have a stronger team this year and can furnish plenty of opposition. Wednesday marked the last day of scrimmage for Belding’s crew and Thursday and iVlday was spent in put ting on the final touches before the game under the arc lights Friday night. Tills Will be Greensboro’s second game under the lights and Belding thinks the night game is a great help for the players as well as the gate re ceipts.
