GREENSBORO WINS STATE TITLE
AFTER TOPPING ROCKY MOUNT 7-0
Trull Scores; Wolfe Kicks
Extra Point in Close Game
No Standouts As Team
Pulls Together to Win
Hard-Fought Battle
A ix'ffect day for trrid warfare in
Kenan stadiiini, November 28, saw his
tory made as Greensboro’s Purple
Whirlwinds defeatCKl the eastern cham
pions to become (he number one team
in the state for the first time in the
school’s history.
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.

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.

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 . . . Not a triple

Lamb Receives Cnp
As 'Bes! 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.

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!”

Day's powerful Purple aggregation
from Greensboro overpowered a iighte,
lint scrappy fligli Point team Friday
night, November 22, at Minis stadiani
In the furniture city of High Point
Driving sixty yards early i„ tHe
flnal period, Albert Myrick, a smash,
ing fullback, scored the marker. Gar-
laud Wolfe, guard, converted, and the
score stood 7 to 0. Vernon Lamb and
Buddy Mulligan, In addition to siy-
rick, were the main threats on the
.scoriug drive.
Stave Off Drive
The strong line of the Whirlwinds
held a seriou.s threat late in the fourth
quarter when High Point carried the
pigskin to the ’Winds’ three-yard line
with a first down and goal to go. 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. After two
passes failed, Greensboro regained pos
session of the ball and was not in
danger again during the contest.
Herb Spea^, captain and center for
High Point, was the outstanding line
man. 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.
