STARS Quarterback Intercepts Pass and Runs 96 yards For Touchdown and Victory Winston defeated G. H. S. 13-6 in an exciting game, winch was somewhat similar to the Winston-Greensboro game at High Point in 1926. The game was played at Winston, Satur day, October 8. Cecil Garwood, Winston quarterback, intercepted a pass on the 4-yard line and ran 96 yards for a touchdown and a victory tor W. H. S. The game was replete with thrils as G. II. S. drov(> the ball deep into Winston’s ter ritory only to lose it on fumbles. On the opening kick off, Greensboro ]‘eceived, and marched down the field for a touchdown without losing the ball. The Gold and Black machine (ame back and tied the score in the same period. The ball se-sawed back and forth with the Pnrple and Gold keeping the ball most of the time. Twice did the G. H. S. team have the ball under Winston’s goal and twi(‘e did they fumble for Winston to recover. Cook, Teague, Davant, and Og!)nrn constantly tore off large gains but the wet weather seemed to be a “jonah’’ for the Purple Whirlwind. “Kid” Brewer was the big gnu for A\dnston both on the defense and offense. Ilis punting saved Winston several times. Garwood’s long run came in the last of the third quarter after Greensboro had driven the ball to Winston’s 4-yard lin. It was fourth down and goal to go. Teague dropped back for a pass and Garwood intercepted. Another offensive was started and G, II. H. took the ball to the one yard lane and fumbled. Winton recovered and punted out of danger. Again G. II. 8. drove down the field and lost the ball close to the goal posts on a fumble. It rained throughout the entire game which slowed up the game consider ably. Players on both sides were hard to tackle due to the slippy condition of their togs. Line up and sxuumary : (li'censhoro Winston-Salem Pos. Pennington L ; .. Turner R.E. Taylor II. Holt R.T.
