r February 6, 1942 HIGH LIFE Page Five Sportsman's Holiday By EjARIjEj HOLLIDAY Team C In Top Spol At Half-Way Mark In Girls' Tourney YOU, THE STUDENTS, finally showed that yon were interested in the Greensboro basketball squad last week by yonr sxipport when it took on the High Point hasketeers. Although the hot rivalry between the two schools undoubtedly played a large part in the unusual attendance at thd conflict, an other game tonight with Asheville promises to he as thrilling as the last one and should be worthy of another I packed house of local fans. During the next two weeks you’ll have a chance to help Coach Bob Jamieson achieve one of his highest ambitions for our athletic department, a championship basketball club. Since Jamieson came to Senior high, his quintets have often come close to reach ing the top, but they have always lost out. Now, with a successful first half in the Western conference behind them, only victories in each of the next four home games are needed to clinch the Western crown. As .Tack Jarvis commented alter the Bison scrap, the locals can surely play better ball before a big home crowd, and you can do your part in helping the Whirlwinds gain their goal by turn ing out for the contests with Salisbury, Winston-Salem, Charlotte, and Bur lington. O INCIDENTALLY, the Whirlies had to step aside last Friday night to oblige Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt’s “My Day.’’ The locals were scheduled to meet the Carolina freslmian team as the prelimi nary to the U. N. C.-V. M. I. tilt. However, Mrs. Roosevelt was also scheduled to speak at Chapel Hill the same night; hence the varsity game was moved to an earlier hour and the scheduled preliminary was postponed until the following Wednesday night. O ONE of Coach Jim Day’s state cham pion wrestlers has finally lost a fight. After gaining two decisive victories against Salisbury and Lexington grap- ifiers, Champ Arthur Bruton was de feated in Lexington in a return match. However, the loss came as a forfeit, as Bruton weighed in for the match just two pounds overweight, thus losing to the Lexington fighter. O WHEN THE TWELFTH annual in terscholastic tournament opens in Cha pel Hill February 9, Day’s grapplers will probably be cast in the favorite role, with three of last year’s cham pions returning to the tournament and capable .support from boys like Bill McCormick, Dave Sewell. Jim Anthony. Garland Wolfe, Bob Farris and others. At the half way mark in the WhiiT- ettes’ intra-mural schedule.

The Whirlies, who have really be come “whizzes.” have blown through four conference foes without suffering defeat, and besides becoming favorites to cop the crown, have become “the team to beat” in the conference. Coach Jim Day’s wrestling team downed an inexperienced Lexington team twice during the past two weeks. In the first meet the IVhirlwinds were victorious, 29 to .3, and in the last meet ing the much improved boys of Coach Gaskill, former star at Appalachian, gave the Gate City boys a battle, only tied 12-12 at the half. Although the ■ to lost' later, 15 to 24. skillftil guarding of Catherine Fore and Jlildred Hock of the victorious team prevented many goals, team B's Ca))tain, 8ara Gwyn. and Kachel Hilli ard were narrowing the gap between the third (piarter score as the game ended.

Bruton Wins Arthur Bruton, state champion of ’41 in the 108-pound class, won his first match, but in the second meet was forced to forfeit because he was over (he weight limit. Dave I’hoenix, only man to lose in the first meet, came back to trim Coach Ga skill’s 135 pounder by the de cision route. The feature fight took place between Lexington's Gappy Cur tis and Greensboro’s Garland IVolfe. IVolfe won a close decision over Curtis in the 175-pound class before an e.x- cited crowd. First Half Close During the early part of the game the teams were very evenly matched as they battled practically goal for goal. Neither was able to build up a lead with the score at the end of the quar ter and the half being tied. However, in the next period, behind the miraculous shooting of A1 (Kars) Koepfle, who led the scoring for the night with L3 points, the locals forged into the lead and were never headed.

Throughout the season, which has been the most succes.sful for Greens boro in the last few years, Koepfle has played basketball with the skill of an expert. Many of the scoring honors, esiH'cially in (he conferi'iice battles, have gone to him as a result of his magnificent skill in handling a ball. Led Central’s Team Koepfle received his start in the game at Central Junior high, starting off as an excellent jdayer. For two years when that group walked away with the city championship undefeated, he was the spark plug and usually the high scorer on the team. He also re ceived his moniker. “Ears,” for some unknown reason, while burning up the junior high courts. In his first year at Benior high last year, he fitted right in with .lamieson’s plans.
