A favored Charlotte squad was dumped by the Whirlwinds 19-14 in a game that left many hearts pounding like Gene Krupas drums. For those of us who made the journey to N. C.’s big town, it was a terrific feeling to see our home team ground out the hard fought- for victory. But only after the first quarter did Greensboro fans sit hardily in their seats. The Wild cats clawed their way to a touch down in the opening minutes of the contest, thus gaining an early lead, and leaving Whirlie loyalists to sit and winder if the trek was worth it . . . Well, Glascock and crew saw to it that it was . . . and froshman teani from UNC and the other a fresh bunch of boys from University South Carolina. Both groups bring with them some out standing pigskinners, which all in all adds up to a fine day of foot ball . . . Wry not attend the tilt— after all, for two halves you can’t go wrong . . . See any Key Club member for ducats. Coach Jamieson’is Whirlwinds, finding it hard to move the ball with consistency, have shown to- date a bulwarkish defense. With a record of one win, one tie, and two losses, the Whirlies are look ing forward to a “comeback” to night when they face the Asheville Maroons. WHIRLIES BAniE ASHEVILLE TONIGHT Whirlie Troubles "Pete” Freemon, the Whirlwind gridder with a waiter’s tip-ical smile, relates the story of his ro mance at the beaches early this summer. "Met one gal—her eyes were weak, breath was strong, and was so buckteethed, she was the only girl I ever knew who could ?eal a letter after it was already in the mailbox” . . . Well, Free men, the ole’ adviser says you’d better sack to the forward pass . . Dvaght Witty, Coach Glenn’s we’d go twice as far to see it again. Incidentally, the spirit shown by the slightly more than six busses of Greensboro High students was the best . . . and the most since the season opened . . . ! RAINS REIGN When the lightening upzipped the I sky and let the water fall during | halftime of the Gastonia game last Friday night, there were approxi mately 28 loyal followers cheer ing for the Gate City crew. And, that 28 was 15 more than the visit ing Greenies had waving them on. From the press box, which also, turned into a water hole, you could see about the stadium specks somewhat resembling the remain ing remnants of a dying anthill. You could see the programs wash ing themselves from the top of the stadium to the row of seats closest to the playing field. A few even took the tide and sailed straight to the fifty-yard line . . . Featured above are the Greens boro eleven who will be the prob able starters against Asheville. They are: Bill Lewey, right end; Jack Weaver, right tackle; Jake Giles, right guard; and Charlie Whedbee, center. Richard Cates, Ronnie Parks, and Jim Murphy make up the left side of the Whir lie forward wall. The backfleld consists of: Don Rothrock at quarterback; and Louis Glascock, right half. Lous is re sponsible for two Whirlie touch downs. Larry Rogers, left half; and Jim Geiger in the fullback slot. Geiger second six points against the Charlotte eleven.

Mentioned as one of the pre- season favorites along with Gas. tenia and Salisbury, the mountain eers have already po.-sced an im pressive 3-0 conference warning to fellow AAA aggragations. The latest Asheville triumph was against Winston Reynolds by a score of 14-13. Meanwhile, the Gastonia club which floored hopes for a second conference victory last week in the flooded Senior High Stadium, lenthened its winning streak in I overall play to four. Salisbury, the other outfit mentioned as a cham pionship contender, got into the conference act for the first time Icvst week with a 13-0 victory over the apparently ill-fated Charlotte Wildcats. Coach Floyd Wody’s boys, who presented litle opposition to the rampaging Whirlies last year, have developed into a club which spec tators nominate for possible state Action tonight will center around three important conference clash es. Winston-Salem Reynolds trav els to Salisbury; Gastonia chal lenges Charlotte Central on home- ground; and Lexington engages I High Point at High Point. wrestling hopeful and also one of Coach “Big” Bob’s footballers, says the summer holidays ruined him. “Played the pin ball machines so much that I got a muscle- bound thumb.” Witty Witty . . . From the Hill comes the slogan, “Watch out for school children— especially if they’re driving.” But Waxy Wible really hit the nail squarely on the thumb with his potent description of Charlie “My nose guard” Whedbee: “Charlie has that Cosmopolitan-looking face —just like the United Nations— every thing is there but just can’t seem to get together” . . . Ah, Whedbee, get a patent on that one . . . Well, such are the woes and foes of your footballers, stoogents,—now come to see them in action ! ! ! Go WhirliCs! ^^SFORISOLOGY’^ By FARBER Last year, in order to try and add a little spice to the sports page, I (the Carolinian)! added my infamous prediction sheet, which several people just couldn’t seem to digest prop-.i erly . . .
