RIVALRY IS KEEN
G. H. S. Gridiron Performers
Are Prepared to Put Up
Strong Battle.
AT MEMORIAL STADIUM
The Visiting Aggregation is Defending
Champion of the Eastern
Class “A” Conference.
The Ihu'ple V’hiriwind.s ^vi!l attempt
to halt the march of a .strong baiul of
Raleigh High School gridders in the
second contest of the season at Jle-
moi'ial Stadium tonight. The kickoff
is scheduled to take place at 8 o’clock.
TTidaunted by (he heart-breaking (i
to 0 defeat at the hands of Reidsville
High last week, the I’urple and Gold
gridiron performers are prepared to
put up a strong battle in tonight’s en
counter with the powerful Capital City
‘ eleven. It will be remembered that the
I visiting aggregation is defending cham-
. pion of the Eastern class “A” confer-
; ence and that they lost a thrilling 13 to
12 decision to the strong Charlotte
t High eleven in the state championship
[ tilt at Chapel Hill last season.
Ray Gregson, head coach of the Capi-
I tals, has a veteran combination to put
I against the Whirlwinds tonight. A stal-
j wart forward wall, built around Jimmy
I Allen, sensational pivot man, is the
I mainstay of the visiting team, and their
I line is flanked by two of the finest ends
cf-jite bigti ‘='^‘ho-oLci’*cJe.‘', PhJl-
and Tom Gould.
Preacher Weeks, triple-threat quar-
\ terback, will be the main cog in the
('•Caps’ offensive attack. Allen, Weeks,
I and Gould were the dominating fac-
^ tors in Raleigh High's 2.7 to C victory
over a formidable Apex High eleven
last week.
Coach Bob Jamieson, none too
pleased with the performance of the
Whirlwinds against Reidsville last Fri
day, will likely make several changes
in the local’s starting lineup for to
night’s clash. The Whrlwind’s team
is very uncertain, but Bob Denny, lanky
end, and “Idnkie” Reddick, guard, who
