Becemhcy 5, 1941 HIGH LIFE Page Five -h Sportsman's Holiday By EARLE HOLLIDAY =!>- THE 1941 FOOTBALL SEASON is all over now as far as Greensboro high school is concerned, and the ej’es of the school are turning to basketball and wrestling. Before looking into the prospects for Greensboro in these two sports, this corner sih)inits the follow ing statistics for the uncrowned cham pions, the Pnrple Whirlwinds. THROT'GIIOrT THE SEASON only four teams managed to cross the Whirl- ies’ goal and then only for a total gain of 57 points. On the other hand, Greens boro scored in every game this year, except in the tie with Rocky Mount, and piled up 21.‘1 points. This gave the locals an average of 17% points per game to the oppositions 2% points. Leading the Gate City scoring was Jack Dempsey, who made 12 touch downs and three extra points for a total of 75 points. Ruddy Mulligan, with eight talleys for 48 points, ran second to Dempsey. Tom Aydelette, Bob Mc Farland, and Harold (Skinny) Brown, with 18 points, and Garland IVolfe with 17 from conversions, trailed the leaders. Bennett Newell’s 13 points and J. W. Kivette’s six finished the local scoring record. ALTIlOFGll THE FOOTBALL team missed the championship by a freak, the pre-season prospects give Greens boro an excellent chance to dethrone the High Point basketball team from the 'Western conference peak. Last year the Pointers had five ex- ceilent hardwood players who saw most of the action for the team. However, all five of these graduated, and are now lost to the group, while Greensboro’s quintet will lie composed mostly of veterans of last year. IN THE LAST ISSUE we paid trib ute to Coach Bob Jamieson and his heir, and now we do the same for Coach Jim Day and his. To bad it had to be a girl thongh, but she will probably be able to give moral .support to a Greens boro team in the future. Prospects are also good this year for Coaeh Day’s wrestling team. He has three state champions and several other boys from last year’s co-champions around whom to build the squad. THE FOLLOWING is this corner’s selection, judged by their performance in games with Greensboro, for an All- 'Western conference backfield this year. Quarterback, Jack Dempsey ; halfbacks, Albert Saleeby of Salisbury and Bud dy Mulligan: and at fullback, Carl Shepperd of Gastonia. Although High Point represented the West at Chapel Hill, this corner saw the Bison in action twice. Against Greensboro they made good tackling dummies and in the AYinston-Salem contest none played well enough to remove any. of the preceding men from their post. ‘bollock's Incorporated FINE FOOTWEAR “It's a Feat to Fit Feet” Use The Best Coal In Your Stoker And Get It At CLEGG COAL DIAL 6112 S>- Foster-Caveness, Incorporated Wholesale Fruits Basketball Practices Begin December 8, Declares Hutchinson MJth practices scheduled for Tuesday and Friday afternoons beginning De cember 2, over 50 girls have si.gned iip for basketball, the only winter sport scheduled here, under the direction of Miss Doris Hutchinson, girls’ gym ad viser.

BIsens Hold Raleigh In Championship Till Playing with a “never-give-up" spirit at the North Carolina scholastic cham pionship game at Chapel Hill last Sat urday afternoon, the High Point Bisons held the favored Raleigh Caps to a scoreless tie. Time and time tigain the Capital City team rolled throngh its opponents' line until its members approached the High Point goal line. On each occasion the Bison forward wall rose to the height of its ability and threw its adversaries back. Raleigh’s Offense Fails Throughont the game the Raleigh squad, led by an ex-Greensboro boy, Billy Shaw, held the upper hand in of fensive, but the High Point defensive was the shining spot of the game. In the Class B title game played in Kenan stadium before the Class A con test. the Eastern team, Laurinburg, de feated a favored Alt. Airy eieven, 20 to 0. The Greensboro AATiirlwinds, the 1940 Class A champions, met both the rep resentatives in the title game. Early in the season the iocals downed Raleigh, 1.3 to G and then humiliated the Bison, 47 to 0. rr rr Local Reserves End Season With 14-0 Loss Coach A^ernon Lamb’s “Ramblin’ Re serve’’ team concluded its> schedule last Tuesday by losing to a strong Chil dren's home group of AA'inston-Salem 1-1 to 0 in a hard fought battle.

Although the 1941 team suffered one of Greensboro's worst seasons of re cent .vears, several members of the squad proved their ability and are back for service on this year's quintet.
