As a result of the 34-7 defeat Pocky Mount haiuUKl .the Jainie.son boys earlier in (he season, the ’Winds en tered the ftaiiie as the definite under dog. This, however, seemed to inspin the local gridiron, for tlie Whirlwind line charged harder and blocktHl better, while the backs ran faster than ever before, to defeat the powerful Black- l)irds 7-0. Luper Leads PaccHl by the highly rated Buddy Luper, the lo.^iers were not alile to stage a suoces.«fuI touchdown drive, although Ooacli Kmory Adkins’ charges found themselves in a position to score several times only to be. turned back by the iron-like AVhirlwind wall. Realizing that teamwork was the road to victory every member of the sipiad strove to play his best ball for the team's sake rather than to stand out in personal feats. LamI) (’alls Signals Mulligan. Winter. Deinp.sey, Myrick, Trull, and Lamb alternately carried the mail for Greensboro. Lamb called every .signal to the ’Winds. Winter kept the opposition in its own territory with his far-reacliing punts. Myrick played ex ceptionally well at his fullback post while Mulligan looked good returnin; kick-offs and punts.

Market St. By SOLO.^rO^■ KENNEDY After having witnessed the Purple Wliirlwinds play 32 games during this successful 1040 season. I suppose that .1 mi.ght put myself in a position to comment on the members of the team botli pro and con. So, dear readers, re member that this is my own opinion. ■S'ERNON LAMB . . . Frankly I think that Sheepie is in tlie circles of better quarterbacks. Congratulations- for winning the best spirited player award. ALBERT MYRICK ... I think that Albert, as a runner, plays better as a fullback than a wing. TOM AYDELETTE . . . Tom got all the tough breaks this season. Better luck next year, pal. DOUG CECIL ... I think Cecil, as a defense end, is tops—if you could liahdie the ball a little better I be lieve that you would find yourself on many all-state elevens. GARLAND WOLFE . . . According to my opinion, Wolfe is the scrappiest guard in the-state. I may be sticking my neck out. but jii.st the same I’ll bet that Little Wolfe is one of the captains next year. ED LIVINGSTON . . . Frankly, Ed, I was disappointed in you this sea son. If you had played the type of ball that you are capable of playing, I be lieve that you would be the most out standing tackle in the state. JOE VINNER . . .

Spirir Player Vernon (Sheepie) Lamb, star quarter back of the current Purple Whirlwind 1040 state champions, received the ‘•Best Spirit” trophy presented by the Touchdown club to the member of the team exemplifying this ideal. The event took place Monday night at the meeting of the club at the 0. Henry hotel. Wiien Lamb was presented the trophy, he iilushed and when the boys yelled, “Speech,” he stammered, “I don’t know what to .say,” and .sat down. Judge Earl Rives told the group that it was the best speech he had ever heard. Lamb led the ’Winds to a state championship with his great field play ing and signal calling this year. Rated by many as the smartest quar terback in this section. Lamb has made a number of all-star ratings throughout the state. Lamb finishes this year, but will be star third baseman in the dia mond ranks this spring and according to the dope will probably rank as a profe.s.sional league px*o.spect. Ouch, My Feel Are Cold! Or Championship Instead of Turkey threat yet, although Winner is the best punter that I have seen this year. OSCAR PETREE . . . Maybe it was ah off year, Oscar. Just the same I admire your spunk. JENNINGS WITHERS . . . Harpo is all here in any football game— an outstanding performer, a good sport, and a candidate for many all- state elevens. JIM MILES . . . Not a star but a good end. BUDDY MULLIGAN . . . Tlie most spectacular player that I have seen this year. Watch him next year, folks, it’ll be worth your while. Metal, Leather and Hand Carved Frames At Flynis Studio Come One, Come All And Help Flavor Christmas Dinner With a BETSY ROSS Fruit Cake Sending a mighty roar across the fitdd, the crowd stood on its feet and cheered wildly. On the sidelines ten Imppy cheerleaders threw their mega phones high in the air; the boys on the bench, thumped each other fer vidly, and in the broadcasting booth high above the slap-happy mob, the .‘jports announcer went wild with ex citement. “He’s over, ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience! He’s over for a touchdown!” No, the above is not an excerpt from an account of the famous Rose Bowl classic in Pasadena, California. But it was almost as important to the record crowd of cold high school root ers who watched the Greensboro high Purple Whirlwinds push over the striped line for the state championship victory in Kenan stadium at Chapel Hill. “My ears have frost-bite!”, “Where are those cough drop.s?”, “I can’t yell above a whisper!”, “Can I wear one of your gloves? I lost mine on that last play!”, “We got gypped! We got the shady side!”, “Well, we won, didn’t we?”, are a few of the after thoughts of that never-to-be forgotten Thanks giving day battle. As a chilly fan put it after the Rocky Mount and Greens boro teams trotted off the field, “It was a great game—but it'll take a week for everybody to thaw out!” ^ P. T.'

The line, composed of Cecil, Miles, Feeney Campbell, Wolfe, Brame, and Withers held for two downs, throwing the Black Bison back to the Gate City team’s twelve yard marker.

Albert Evans, pint-size quarter back was the Bison star. Evans’ kick ing kept Greensboro backed up dur ing most of the skirmish. Chicago Accepts Invifaiion To Play in Miami Game “iliami here we come” was the motto of the Purple Whirlwinds until Friday night, December G, when the bottom of their hopes fell through, because the bid to play in Miami was extended to a high school in Chicago, Each year a high school from throughout the nation is picked to play Miami high school on Christmas day in the “Orange Bowl.” For the past two years Greensboro’s Whirl winds lived up to their name and won the class “A” western championship and hoped to receive the bid.
