EXTRA 3 MINUTES PLAYED Scrapping with every available ounce of strength and might, the gal lant Purple Whirlwinds defeated an almot as equally hard-fighting team from Oak Ridge 21 to 19 Tuesday, Jan uary 12, at the Caldwell School couit.

After a very flashy play Williams of Oak Ridge tied the score 19 all. Fesmire was sent in to re-substitute for Brown. And after a scramble that was worth the points Fesmire fought his way under the goal putting Greensboro in the lead 21 to 19. After a few more seconds of play the game ended with the Winds in the lead 21 to 19. The Cadets’ leading offensive player was Womble while McCachren starred on the defense. Burroughs, high scorer, played very well with Kelly equally as well sub stituting for him. CAGE LINE-UP COMPOSED OF FOOTBALL REGULARS All Five Members of Starting Lineups Were Football Men During Past Grid Season. BURROUGHS IS BASKETBALL STAR The entire starting lineup of the Greensboro high cage team this year has been made up of football men, and all but Fesmire were regular starters on the eleven. The starting lineup for the local quin tet has been Burroughs and Wicker, forwards; Fesmire, center, and Wrenn and Whitt, guards. Burroughs and Wicker are the two regular football ends; Wrenn was the regular right guard, and Whitt was a regular half back. Fesmire was substitute end. In games already played this season Burroughs has been the most outsand- ing player of the local quintet and has been high scorer. In the first game of the season. Burroughs registered 16 points against the Gastonia five and was a big feature towards Greensboro’s vic tory. In the Oak Ridge game Burroughs registered eight points for the locals and was also high scorer for this game. In the High Point game Burroughs was high scorer with 17 points against the Pointer five. In a practice game with the Public Service quint. Burroughs was high man with 14 points to his credit. Wicker has been playing a good game of basketball and has scored a number of points also. In the Gastonia game Wicker scored two points, none in the Oak Ridge game, 5 in the Public Service game and none in the High Point game. Fesimer, only substitute for end posi tion on the football eleven, has also scored a number of points, getting! in the Gastonia game, 2 in the High Point game, 4 in the Public Service game and 4 in the Oak Ridge game. Whitt scored 5 points in the High Point game, 2 in the Public Service game, 1 in the Oak Ridge game, and none in the Gastonia game. Wrenn hasn’t scored a point yet but has been playing some excellent basketball. Sidney Kelly, who came to Greens boro high this fall, has been one of the most outstanding members of the ilocal cagemen this season and although he was not eligible for football, he is capable of playing a good game on the gridiron. Kelly has scored 16 points for the local quintet. SPOTLIGHTS OF SPORTS “The March to Victory” The following article appeared in the Greensboro Daily News: “It’s beginning to appear that the Greensboro high school basketball team is going to make quite a noise in the world this season. Lester Belding has a quint that looks like a powerful machine. The victory of the boys over Oak Ridge Tuesday night is only a’sample of the ability of the five. Just give the lads one or two more games under belts, and they will be on the road to the championship. When the team downed Oak Ridge it beat an aggregation of good basketball players. Men with greater experience. One of the main features of the five is the spirit to stick in there all the time. These lads never give up, and deserve support from the sportsmen of Greensboro.” There hasn’t been as many students out for the games as there ought to be. If the student body would turn out in greater numbers the team would play better. Durham Added to Grid Schedule The Whirlwinds will face one of the toughest schedules they have had in many years during the 1932 grid season with the addition of the Durham high eleven, winner of the state championship in 1931, and the strong Barium Springs eleven. Asheville has cancelled their game for the 1932 season. The strong Durham combination will come here September 23, in the second battle of the season, and meet the locals in a night game at Memorial Stadium. Durham met and defeated the Charlotte high eleven, winners of the western conference, in Chapel Hill for class A state championship in 1931. Greensboro did not meet Durham during the past season and this will be the first game played between these two teams since 1930. The whirlwinds will meet the Barium Springs eleven at Barium Springs on Armistice, November 11, for the first time since 1930, hav ing lost to them in a post-season game. , Barium has a strong combina tion and is considered a dangerous rival. Asheville high school has definitely cancelled their "game for 1932. The game was called off because of a limited athletic program being arranged by the Asheville officials who are arranging a series of games with nearby teams. The game was originally scheduled to take place at Asheville October 23. A Good Start, Now Finish Up! Coach Belding seemed a little worried at the Oak Ridge game. The competition was so keen that it made the game seem rough at times. The coach breathed a sigh of relief when the final whistle blew. The usual large number of bench warmers usually seem on the bench at G. H. S. games have dwindled down to a mere two or three. A number of good basketeers have had to retire because of scholastic difficulties. Congratulations for having shown a good basketball team for its first two games have been extended to Coach Belding by a number of sportsmen. Ike Fesmire, seems to be an outstanding candidate for All- State if he continues as he has in the first two games. Ike threw the winning goal against Oak Ridge. “Red” Kelly a new comer to G. H. S. is showing real form on the court and is one of the high scorers. ‘ ‘ Good boy. Red. ’ ’ Keep it up. Good Crowd Sees Game A fairly good crowd of G. H. S. fans were on hand for the Greens boro-High Point basketball game at Caldwell gymnasium last Friday night, as the Whirlwinds took a real thriller from the Pointer outfit. The game proved to be a very exciting contest and the fans received many opportunities to exercise their vocal chords. We espe cially noticed Jack Nowlin lustily cheering his team on to victory. Jack yelled all through the game and we believe his good work spurred the local basketeers on and helped to win the game. Mr. Nowlin served as a cheer leader as well as a rooter for the home team, he tried to spread his spirit among the other fans around him and we even noticed him trying to get Miss Grogan to yell some with his pleas of, “Come on. Miss Grogan, yell for your team, cheer ’em to victory,” and “Tell ’em something. Miss Grogan, tell ’em something.” It would surely be helpful to the team if all of the students showed a little more of Jack’s spirit and cheered more for the team. Basketball Team Opens Season The Greensboro high basketball team got off to an unusually good start for the 1932 season, and sends a squad of players on the floor that looks like a championship team. The locals have won every game played so far this season and have shown some real basketball ability. If the team keeps up the pace set in the first games of the season, the local quintet should go a long way in the 1932 championship race. The local squad opened the season here with the strong Gastonia five at Caldwell gym, and engaged in a very exciting struggle with the big end of a 22-14 score. In the second game the locals faced the Oak Ridge Cadets at Caldwell and turned them back in an extra period battle by the score of 21-19. This also proved to be a thrilling contest, the local five coming from behind to tie the Cadets, and then put across the winning score in an extra period. High Point furnished the opposition in the third game and Greens boro again came out ahead to win a 33-29 victory. The locals came out from behind again, and finished with flying colors after a slow start. Burroughs Stars in Basketball Jack Burroughs, star end and captain of the Greensboro high foot ball eleven, has added another goal to his popularity as a G. H. S. athletic star. Burroughs is leading the local quintet in scoring and has starred in every basketball game played this season. During the football season, be was one of the most outstanding players in high school football. He was honored as All-State end and was mentioned as the outstanding end in the “Football Annual.” Jack has already proved one of the most outstanding members of the basketball squad and is high scorer so far. Sidney Kelly, a new-comer to Greensboro, has also proved to be an outstanding player. Kelly is a red-headed, flashy forward and means trouble for any opposing team. G. H. S. CAGERS LOSE TO A.-WILSON TEAM After putting up a hard fight the Greensboro girls’ basketball team were defeated 40 to 17 by the Alexander- Wilson cagers Friday night, January 15 preceding the boys’ game.

The Greensboro high boxing and wres tling squads have gotten off to a rather slow start for the 1932 season, losing three straight boxing matches and win ning one wrestling match for two losses. Lose to Oak Ridge In the first start of the season the local ringmen and matmen went to Oak Ridge and dropped both matches, the Cadets taking the boxing match with four out of six bouts an dwining over the grapplers by the score of 19-11. Prouty, Shoup, and Stockton, of Oak Ridge scored technical knockouts over Rees, Allen and Rochelle, respectively, in the second rounds of their matches. Gerringer was the only local wrestler to score a fall for Greensboro, while Coleman and Edwads gained falls for Oak Ridge. January 8, the local squads invaded Leaksville and again dropped both battles to the Leaksville high boxers and wrestlers. The Leaksville men seemed to be much better than the locals and piled up too many victories. Win Wrestling Match The third match of the season was held in Greensboro at Caldwell gym nasium and the Oak Ridge Cadets again furnished the opposition. The local matmen managed to gain a victory this time, but the boxers again met defeat. Greensboro took the wrestling by a 24-3 decision; the Cadets won the boxing 5-1. Three of the local grapplers won their fights with falls. Bell, Koury and Ger ringer. Edwards was the only Cadet to win a decision, getting a three minute time advantage over Hodgin in the 155 pound class. Stevenson was the only Greensboro boxer to win his fight, get ting a decision over Prouty in an extra round battle. In the 100 pound bout, Benbow, of Greensboro, fought evenly with Wilson for the first two minutes and then Wilson went down when time was called. Benbow held the time the whole two minutes and when he went down, came out in 20 seconds, winning the match easily. In the 105 pound match. Bell worked a headlock crotch on Joyce in the last ten seconds to pin him. paptain Douglas, | Greensboro, took only one minute and five seconds time over Rabon. Koury turned in the best wrestling exhibition of the evening by throwing Holton, of Oak Ridge, in a minute and a half with a quarter-nelson-bar-arm. Greensboro forfeited two of the box ing matches. Stevenson turned in a good fight to win over Prouty, and Moorefield and Weiton engaged in an other good fight, the decision going to Weiton after an extra round. WHIRLWINDS TO MEET SALISBURY JAN. 22 Coach Belding Tas Drilled Squad in Preparation for Battlee With Dangerous Basketball Rival. The Whirlwind basketeers will meet the Salisbury high cagemen in thei third scheduled game of the present season at Salisbury tonight. Coach Belding’s squad has been very successful in their first games of the 1932 basketball race and look like fair bidders for the state championship. The Rowan county five is considered as a dangerous rival, and Coach Belding has been drilling his squad in preparation for a serious battle. A number of very promising candidates are out for the local five and a few stars have already been uncovered. Miss Katei Robinson will lead her girls’ sixtet over to High Point at this time, and meet the Pointer girls in cage battle. Miss Robinson’s squad has also proved to be successful and should give their nearest rivals a real battle. All of the girls’ games so far have been closely contested and a number of regu lar players are proving to be very val uable basketball players and a real threat to opposing teams. llllllllllllHlMlHIIIIIHIIIIIBIIIIIIIIIIIIilimillliBIIIIHIIIII B Miniatures Portraits Framing B Copies from Old Photographs I The Flynt Studio B H.

Schiffmans UCAfHNa Imperial Monday-Tuesday Eddie Cantor in “WHOOPEE” 10c Always 20c GASTONIA, POINTER OUTFITS DOWNED IN THRILLING TILTS Whirlwinds Licks High Point Crew After Trailing Them for Three Periods. BURROUGHS HIGH SCORER Kelly, Newcomer to G. H. S., Stars— Whitt, Wreen and Fesmire Also Play Good Ball. As thei result of excellent cooperation the Greensboro high cagers defeated Gastonia’s flashy five 22 to 14 Friday night, January 8. Having defeated Gas tonia and with the playing displayed it looks as though Greensboro has a good chance of becoming the Western Con ference champions. All men on the starting line for Greensboro were first string football men except Fesmire and he was the only substitute for end position. Burrougs scored sixteen points for Greensboro, but he lacked a long wa.y of doing it by himself. The coopera tion of Fesmire and Wicker in blocking and the feeding of Whitt enabled him to score the 2 points that won the game. Greensboro’s center, Fesmire, out played his man. Smith, decidedly all through the game and he also did 100 per cent scoring. Leary led Gastonia by scoring six points, but the best floor man was Cathey, Gastonia’s lanky guard. Greensboro’s system of pasing had Gastonia puzzled, but the defense was even more outstanding than the offense holding down Gastonia’s passing plays and recovering the ball very good. The next game on the local schedule brought the strong High Point outfit here and after being behind the Pointers for three periods the locals came from behind and overhauled them to come out in the lead with the score of 33-29, Friday night, January 15, in the Cald well gym. High Point ght oc to a flying start and led the local quintet through the first three periods. In the last quarter, led by Fesmire, Burroughs and Kelly, the whole Greensboro squad got to gether to play some real basketball and overtake the big lead piled up by the High Point five. The Pointers showed a smooth working machine at times and the game looked like a loss for the locals until the last quarter. B|oth teams showed well-balanced outfits and played good ball throughout the contest. Culer, High Point forward, and Size more, Pointer center, were the most out standing players on the visiting team. Sizemore was star end on the High Point football eleven during last season. Whitt and Wrenn, Greensboro guards, played outstanding basketball in the first half, while Burroughs Fesmire and Kelly came through with some ashy playing in the last half. A fairly good crowd of G. H. S. bas ketball fans were out for the game and were furnished with plenty of thrills during the encounter with the Pointer five. Coach Belding seems well satisfied with the showing his Whirlwind bas keteers have made in their first battles of the season, but still maintains that there are a number of places in which the locals need brushing up on.
