LARRY WACHTER
DALE JOHSNON
Johnson, Wachter Are Captains
By ADD PENFIELD, JR.
L>ast week at a meeting of the
squad, Larry Wachter and Dale
Johnson were elected permanent
captains of the 1957 Whirlies.
Wachter is the quarterback of
the team, and Johnson is the start
ing center. They led the team to
its fh-st victory last week 20-7
oi’er Gastonia. Both have been
outstanding throughout the first
four games of the season.
Larry is a six foot senior who
weighs 170 pounds. This is his
second year on the varsity and he
played enough last year to earn
Jayvees Win By 26-0
For Year's First Win
Whirlie Jayvees defeated 'the
Winston-Salem Reynold’s Black
Demons junior varsity, Thursday,
September 26, by a 26-0 score in:
a game played on the local field.
Play was highlighted by the
gieat defensive work of the
Greensboro line led by A1 Walke,
Tommy Thompson. Fi-ed Groom
and Joe Giuy.
The second time that the Whir-
lies got the ball they ground out
great chunks of yardage and final
ly sent halfback Pete Homey over
the goal line from 30 yards out.
Late in the same period GHS’^
Jayvees moved deep into Demon
territoiy. After the teams,swapped
ends of the field to begin the
second quai*ter, Whirlie fullback
Allan Bai-ger was sent on a 15-
yard scamper to make the score
12-0. Just before the end of the
half, Luke Shew intercepted a pass
for Greensboro. Tha*ee plays later
Luke drove five yards to score
the Whirlies’ third TD.
Neither team was able to gen
erate much of an offense in the
third period until late in the quar
ter. GHS took the ball inside the
10 yard line only to fumble on
the third play of the fourth quar
ter. On the second play that Win
ston ran, Jayvee tackle Gerald
Albert tackled the Demon fullback
in the end zone for a safety
making the score 20-0. The final
score of the afternoon came short
ly afterward.
I his lettei* on the AAA co-cham-
,'plonship team.
j Wachter is a triple threat at
1 th6 quarterback post. He throws
well, runs strcmgly, and punts
on occasion. Larry likes to run
the split-T option play the best
and of late he has been running
up the middle with fine success
Irom the double wing formation.
Larry directed the 1955 Whirlie
JV team through its season. Last
year he was an important re-
seive and reached his peak in the
Whirlies’ 49-0 win over Danville,
Virginia.
Last year he was a member of
the track team and is now vice-
president of the Junior Civitan
Club.
Dale stands five feet eleven
inches tall, weighs 175 pounds, and
is, of course, a senior. This is
also Dale’s second year on the
varsity. He eai'ned his letter as
guard last yeai*. Dale also played
on the ”55 JV club.
Whirlie coaches decided, to
switch him to center this year,
and Dale has done a fine job at
the pivot post so far this season.
He is rated as the roughest man
on the Whiiiie squad and is one
of the best tacklers. For these
two reasons he has been switched
to a defensive end position.
In the non-football seasons. Dale
is active in other Whirlie sports.
He was a member of the wrestling
and baseball squads. Dale was a
fine wi-estler as proven by the fact
that he won the state champion-
, i » ill i i65 pound class.

The Whirlies last week bounced
out of thoh* losing ways and into
the win column for the first time
this year, as they handed prev
iously undefeated Gastonia a 20-7
defeat. A few changes in the line
appeared to be the key to the vic
tory by the Blue and White. Ed
die Burton replaced Dave Spauld
ing at end, Joe Ritchie replaced
Wachter, Morgan, and Co.

been promised for the last sev
eral years, is finally becoming a
reality.

very enthusiastic about the track.
When questioned about the ef
fect of the new facilities, Mr.
Manzi stated,“The new track will
induce more boys to come out for
the team. In the past there have
been several good Whirlie track
teams, but with a good track
I hope that some of the boys will
be inspired to greatness.”
With oui’ new track facilities
We will be able to have more
meets and events here. Through

when Morgan charged over from
the 10, but the extra point hit
the goal post and bounced bade.
Then in the third quarter Larry
Smith of Gastonia went around
end for 55 yards and Phil Jack-
son kicked the. point to give the
Green Wave a 7-6 advantage.
With 3:50 left in the game, Al
baugh added another six points
for the Whirlies on a 10-yard run.
McNairy kicked his second straight
extra point of the game which
made the score 20-7 in . Greens
boro’s favor.
Greensboro led in every depart
ment statistically except punting,
and that was easy to explain. The
Whii'lies did not Punt a single
time during the game. The Whir
lies gained 304 yards on the
ground to 161 for Gastonia and
almost tripled the losers in first
downs. The Whirlie defense was
tops. Gastonia did not complete
a pass, and the Green Wave had
to punt five times.
Tony Porlines at left tackle, and
Walter Barton took over the left
guard spot vacated by Claytoo
Stanley.
Asheville was pushed all over
the field last week as they tied
Winston-Salem Reynolds
Reynolds gained over 250 yards on
the ground against the Maroons
but could score only once. The
Asheville defenders held well in-
side their 20 yard line on several
occasions.
Quartei1>ack Sid Mitchell is the
star of the show for Asheville. He
passes well and is a strong run
ner. His halfbacks will te two
small men, Bill Gemer and Bill
Carter. Gemer is the ^)eei mer
chant of the Asheville attack.
Larry Wachter, Whirlie quarter^
back, will attempt to lead the
Whirlies to an upper spot in the
Western Conference with a victory
tonight. The Whirlies, now in a
tie for . third place, could move
into first place with a win and a
Salisbury loss to Winston-Salem.
