Sabotage? He put aside his notes for a moment to stud.y the offense of the state capi tal lads, in which he soon became so interest(‘d that he forgot his hook for a few minutes. Juiter he saw something of interest that might help his boys and reached for his hook, only to find it missing. Jjooking under the stands proved to be all in vain, and lookin.g down the aisle was also of no avail. Then the bjg scouter became worried and stood up, but he could find no book which belonged to him. He sat down again and thought in vain of places where his record book nught he found. Notes Recovered Finally Studying the situation, he heard a .group of girls snickering behind him, and whirled just in time to see a young girl erasing the notes on her team taken by the Greensboro scout.

J^ead- ers on the defense were Hruce (Angel) Pickard, .guard, and Ralph Anthony, center. Roth Pickard and Anthony were in most of the tackles, many of them made behind the line of scrim mage. Uses Many Subs Coach Vernon (Sheepie) Jjamb left his first team in the contest for the first quarter ouly. He then shot in his second team and throughout the re mainder of the game used mauy subs. The wet field held the fast pony backs of the “Purple Breeze’’ at bay most of the game, but a few broke loose for long gains.

But after your muscles have hardened, you'd be able to stand five or even 10 games of bowling.” The twang of the how and swish of the arrow must have a piercing effect on bo.vs, as well as tai\gets, in view of the swarm of males at archer.y prac tice.

After getting off’ to a slow start in the opening half. Coach Hob .Jamieson’s team came back strong in the second period, only to have three drives, led by Hob McJ^arland, stopped close to the opponent’s goal. Passes Plentiful The Blackbirds filled the air with passes early in the game, but the Greensboro aerial defense kept the Mount away from the Whirlwinds’ goal. One local drive ended only inches from the pay-off line, and two more of fenses, sparked by the passes of Ben nett Newell in the waning minutes of the game, went to naught when Rock,y Mount backs made two interruptions. The entire local line played outstand ing ball on defense, allowing the Black bird backs only a 24-yard gain for rush ing. When the Whirlwinds reverses failed to gain, drives through the line by IMcFarland and .Jack Dempsey picked up important yardage for the locals.

East is east, and west is west, but they meet tonight when the Greens boro Whirlwinds travel to Durham to encounter Coach Carey Brewbaker’s Bulldog football squad. The lads of Purple and Gold still have a score to .settle with the Dur ham team for the 6-0 victory in the 1,9.39 state finals at Chapel Hill. The clubs fought to a scoreless tie in their game here last year. The return of Buddy Mulligan ta the Greensboro line gives the locals the favorite role in the contest. After victories over JVilson, Raleigh, and Children’s home, and a tie with Rocky Mount, the Whirlwinds are set to keep- their record clean, while the Bulldogs boast wins over Boxboro, Oxford^ Harding high of Charlotte, but must admit defeat against the High Point team last week. Relied on Deception The Bulldog backtield has relied on deception and passes in early season games, but the line that will face them tonight is stronger and faster than that of any encounter this season. I'or the past two games the Whirl winds have shown much power in the l)ackfield, I)ut with Mulligan's return they have an added spark to their offensive reverse maneuvers. It is doubtful, however, if George iJcJ.eod, Durham co-captain, will play at his fullback position. Probal)le line-up: Durham Greensboro- JVethington le Adams .Jones It .
