Wave made things even more compli
cated in Western conference footl)all
circles in Memorial stadium November
2), when they battled to a 33-13 tie,
lh‘ir second this season.
'I’liey fought on almost oven terms
daring the first p(‘riod, but in the
second stanza, the Gastonia offense,
Garl Shepi)ard, began to click. Before
the Whirlies could realize it. the Green
Wave had a touchdown and the score
was (> to 0.
After Louis Allen had blocked a
Gastonia punt with Balph Anthony
recovering on the Green Wave 41, Bill
McCormick picked up a first down on
the 20 to give the Whirlies a real
chance to score. Carl Bhibbs carried
the mail to the 18, followed by a four-
yard gain by Bob McFarland, and then
slashed off right tackle to the Gaston
one-yarl stripe. At this point the third
period ended. On the next play Phibbs
again took the ball and drove over for
the Whirlies’ first score. The attempted
conversion was low.
After the kickoff Gastonia was
forced to punt when three trys had
failed to net a first down, and Phibbs
returned the ball to the visitors’ 44.
McFarland and JlcCoianick managed
to get the ball to the 33 and then the
ball Avas given to McFarland. lie ran
wide around the left side, dodging four
tacklers, and finally was brought down
on the five. Phibbs made the remain
ing yardage in one attempt. Adams

boro-Gastonia football game at Char

Greensboro Senior high school’s Pur.
ifle WhirlAvind AA'ill engage the Gas
tonia Green WaA-e in a battle for the
State high school football crown in
Charlotte, December 12, it was an
nounced by officials of Senior high
school and Gastonia last week. It will
be the third time during the 1942 sea
son that these teams ha\'e met in
competition.
October 16 was the date of the first
meeting of the Mlnrlies and the Green
WaA'e. Even then, experts pointed to
that game as one to watch because
the probable contenders for the West
ern conference croAA'n were contestants.
The locals were trailing for about a
quarter and a half at Gastonia, but
they came back to CA'en the score and
liold the Gastons to a seven-all tie.
After finishing in a deadlock for the
title at the end of the regular playing
season, the two teams decided on a
playoff to decide who would meet Wil-
son for the state crown. This game
saAv Gastonia take a six-point lead in
the first half and really started some
of the Greensboro fans to worrying,
but it was a different story in the sec
ond half. The Whirlies came rushing
back, tied the score and forged ahead,
13-6, then with only two minptes and
five seconds left to play, Greensboro
bad a bad break and fumbled on its
oAvn 20-yard stripe. Gastonia ran the
Greensboro distraction during the next
couple of plays and soon made a touch
down. Q’he conversion Avas good, and
the score stood at 13-all.
When the two aggregations meet
again next Saturday at Charlotte, the
aces of both teams will be in full at
tire and ra’ring to go to make it the
best game that their team has played
this year.
Co-Captain Bob McFarland, brilliant
Whirlie Aviiigback, along Avith Ralph
Anthony, Carl Phibbs, Bill McCormick
and Darrell East, should be in tip-top
condition for the encounter, and if
they perform as they did in the Wil
son game on ThanksgiA’ing, Greensboro
should come through victorious.
The Gate City’s forward wall, which
stopped the Wilson backs time and
again, is noAv in the best condition of
the season, and it AA'ill be in there
fighting to' stop tlie Green Wave as it
attempts to roll on to victory.
Gastonia’s Carl Shepherd Avill prob
ably be the biggest threat to the Wirlie
cause, as he bothered the local team
a great deal during the last game for
the tying tally.
All told, it AA'ill be about the best
game that has been played betAveen
lAvo high school teams in North Caro
lina this season, and a large crowd
AA’ill probably be present to witness the
fight for the state cx’own.
