Sewell Adds Wrestling
To His Sports Repertoire
All old story for tht* basketball siiiiad
of Durham liis'h school, but an eiitirel.v
ii(‘W (‘xiierieiice for the Whirlwinds of
(iiaHuisboro, will take ])lac(‘ in ('Impel
Hill on March .‘t, when the two scpiads
inci't to decide tin* basketball chain-
])ionship of North ('arolina.
Durham, which became nationally
important iii hmb school basketball in
the days of the Loftis brothers, Hob
Oantt and Horace^ (Hones) McKinney,
has won th(‘ title for the past iive
y>ars and will be out to run its stnaik
to six wins.
Its op])osition in th(‘ jjaine this year,
however, will be facing an entiiady dif-
ferimt situation. For ov(“r 10 years
the local basketeers have lieen playinji
second or third tiddle to other 'West
ern (luintets. The story has bemi dras
tically changed this s(>ason, when the
■SVhirdwinds, with still another same
to play tonisbt with Dish I’oint, lead
tlie second team, Hurliiyston, by three
sanies.
Local Wins Decisive
Throushout the season the locals
never cam> close to losins in confer
ence competition. The smallest marsin
of victory of the team occurred when
the Silv(“r Streaks of Charlotte came
within six points of winnins- How
ever, Jamieson's boys kept in the lead
durins tlu' entire same.
Tin* only comparison that can 1h'
made hetween th(> two teams lies in
the outcome of their sanies with the
Fniversity of North Carolina freshman
team. For three' cpnirters the Hulldoss
ln'ld the frosh in check, onl.y to lose
;i() to .‘i.'i. However, the same Tar Habies
trounci'd the locals decisivel.v by a 39-18
count. As a, result of sanies and the
showins of Durham in past years, the
Chestertield city will enter the cham-
liionship clash as a heav.v favorite.
However, the locals were not at their
best in the ('arolina same, but their
line showins, both offensively and de
fensively, in the past few sames. is
enoush to insure their makins a good
showins at ('Impel Hill.
Both Durham and Greemsboro came
throush their respective conferences
undefeated and each team will be ready
to so ■'vith full force in the title tilt.

For Southern Indoor Meet
ISIeetins at the Fniversity of North
Carolina at ('Impel Hill, lirst of March,
participants from hish schools and jirep
schools all over the South will attend
the Fniv('rsit,v‘s annual invitational in
door track meet.
"Althoush no bo.vs have received as-
sisnnu'uts for the me(“t. Senior hish
will surel.v be represented in live events
—two sprints, two ions runs, and the
relay race,” ('oach Hob ,Iami('son, co.ach
of the track team, stated today.
Past Showing Poor
In past years, (ireensboro's track
teams have had poor showinss in com
parison with other institutions: how
ever, in consideration of the slisht em
phasis placed on the sport here, the
teams have showed uj) well.

Hy EAKLK HOLDIDAY
Followers of last .vear’s football team
will well remember the stellar playing
of little Dave Sewell as center on the
s(iuad. Now, he has l)rought additional
honors for himself in another sport,
wrestling.
As a holdover from last year's stpmd.
ln> went to work this season for Coach
Jim Day and turned into one of the
best wrestlers on the team. Sewell
went through the regular season unde-
feaH'd, pinning his man in many of
the matches.
Wins State Chanipionship
Then the big test, the state cham-
pionshij) matches held annuall.v at
Chapel Hill, arrived. Fighting for one
of the def‘nding cham])ion teams, Sew-
(dl, with the rest of the Greensboi'o
boys, was set up to the contenders as
oiu' of the best fighters to iH'at. In
addition, when the pairings were made
for the meet, he had to tight three
men, whih'i most of flu> others had only
two (engagements.
However, he came through all three
lights undefeated and claimed the cov
eted chami)ionship in the 145-pound
class, one of the three weights where
the Senior high grapplers took top hon
ors. Arthur Hruton and Hill Cavan,
I)oth ded'ending champs, came through
as expected as repeaters. The three
wins, with the appearance of Jim An-
thon.v in the finals, gave Dave's team
second place laurels. Salisbury, high
scorer, was beaten by the local team
in regular season matches.
Scwvell, who also answers to the nick-
nanu' “Sut,” is a good, clean, hard-
lighting athlete. Although he came to
the high school only last year, he got
bus.v and made a name for himself in
scholastic sport circles, a record of
which he should be .iustly proud.

According to the late.st information

association, all plans for the proposed
infra-mural basketball tournament have
been cancelled.
‘■Hecause of the pressing need of the
gym for both tc'am practice and physi

will have a chance on the hardcourt
during these classes, we have decided
to cancel the tournament.”

Whirlwind Victorious
In Conference Tilts
Greensboro’s high flying tVhirlwinds
contiiuK'd their winning way,s in “West-
(u-n Conference competition last Friday
and Saturday night in the local gym
by taking decisive victories over tVin-
ston-Salem and Chariotte respectiveiy.
Aftc'r taking an easy win over the
Hlack Demons of Keynolds Friday by
the .score of 40 to 23, scoring of Cap
tain Tom Aydelette and Gas Paschal,
the Gate City team had its hardest
tight of the season in eoiniuering the
Silver Streaks from Charlotte the fol-
b wing night by the score of 2t) to 23.
Winston Victory Easy
After the Keynolds team took the
lead early in the game by virtue of a
foul shot, Coach Hob Jamieson’s wards
went to work and built up a large lead.
Even the local reserves, who were used
throughout the tilt, -were never threat
ened by the opposition.
However, the following game was a
different story. Although Greensboro
was never behind during the contest,
she was never able to build a com
fortable lead and keep it. During the
second (piarter the AVhirlwinds had a
had a l!-5 lead at one time, but the
Ceutralites went on a scoring spree
and trailed by only three points as
the period ended.
Sportsmanship Trophy
Given To Local Boxer
Rill Hancock, former Greensboro
high wrestling, swimming and foot
ball star, added another trophy to
his collection when he received the
John K. \ oehringer sportsmanship
trophy for out-of-town fighters in
the annual Golden Glove boxing
tournament here, February 8.
Hancock not only w'on the trophy
but carried off a medal for cap
turing the title in the 175-pound
novice division from Sammy In
gram in the finals. The judges
declared that Hancock could do
well as a boxer, even though he
has made a name for himself in
wrestling.
For three years white in high
school, Hancock won the state
wrestling title in the 175-pound
class. This year, when wrestling
for Appalachian college, he was the
only man on the squad to win every
match for the mountaineers.

At High Point Tonight
Thrid Quarter Spurt Wins
The locals put on their usual third
(piarter .spurt, ho-wever, and ran the
score to 27 to 18. This was all that
was needed to give the team its eighth
straight conference victory, although
the Streaks rallied in the last period
to c'Jmb within six xioints of the
Gr('ensboro cagers.
Paschal’s five hook-shots gave -him
the scoring honors of the night, al
though Harold (Skinny) Brown, wdio
starred for the locals by taking the
ball off the back-board numerous times
and by his defensive work, trailed
I’aschal by nine points.
Get The Best
For Less
at
Kress
Climaxing an undefeated season of
M'estern conference competition, Greens
boro's triumphant Purple AVhirlwinds
will complete their schedule when they
battle again tonight, this time invading
the High I’oint Hlack Bisons’ hard
court.
The game, which promises to be one
of the closest contests of the season.
For the first time in over 10 years,
the Greensboro I'urple AATiirlwinds have
ivon the AA'estern conference basketball
title. The locals copped the crown
with a 32-16 victory over Coach Hoyt
Hambright’s s(piad from Burlin.gton
Tuesda.v night in the local g.vm.
Entering the .game with eight wins
against no defeats, and the prospect
of a title in its hands if it won, the
local s(piad went to work and humili
ated the opposition.
A1 Koepfle sank a long set shot to
break the scorin.g ice, and Greensboro
was never headed. By the end of the
first (piarter, Gus Ibischal had led the
team to a 11-1 lead.
Locals Lead at Half
During the next period the team had
run the score to a 15-point lead, the
count being 20-5. Throughout the en
tire first half the Burlington (piintet
failed to score from action, all of its
points coming from the free-throw line.
Coach Bob Jamieson used substitu
tions A’er.v freel.v durin,g the last period,
but Burlington never came close to
reaching the locals.
Paschal Leads Scoring
Leroy Paschal, who was removed
during the second (piarter when he
knocked his little finger out of joint,
put ill six hook-shots and three free
throws to score only one point less
than that of the entire Alamance team.
Koepfle trailed him with eight points.
Burlington’s chief scoring threat
came thron.gh foul shots. Greensboro's
20 fouls gave the opposition 11 points.
not only because of the heated rivalry
that exists between the two schools, jn contrast with only four field goals..
but also because the Bisons will at
tempt to aven.ge the 34-20 shellacking
the AVhirlies handed them earlier in
the season, will begin at 8 o’clock, fol
lowing the contest between the reserve
s(iuads of the two institutions, which
will .get underway at 7,
Probably leading the Pointers’ attack
will be Idol, the Bisons’ offensive lead
er, and Crowder, High Point’s defensive
star. Greensboro’s attack will likely
star Captain Aydelette, Eero.y Paschal,
and A1 Koepfle. Flarold (Skinny)
Brown and Jack Jarvis are expected
to do' some superb defensive work.
