W.H.S. Defeats Greensboro
In Game at Winston Oct. 8
FINAL SCORE 13-6
Purple Whirlwind Scores in
First Quarter But Fumbles
Hinder Game
GARWOOD OF W. H. S. 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.

New School Song
The following is the new G. H. S.
school song. .J. H. Johnson com
posed both words and music. The
students are learning the song,
which will be used for the first time
in the Greensboro-High Point game;
“We’ve got the spirit of G. H. S.,
M'e’ve got the spirit to do our best—
We’ll gather ’roiind the field
Watch our ’ponents yield
Cheer our team to victory
As we shout, “Fight! Fight!”
We are the sons of the true and
bold.
Proud of the purple and the gold;
And when a man goes through the
line.
It's for Greensboro High each time.
We've got the spirit of G. H. S.”
