HERE AND THERE
Not too long from, this very mo
ment, Father Time will again rec
ord a new’ leaf in the great foot
ball diary, “Greensboro vs. High
Point.” Yes, as time approaches
for this most looked-fonvard-to
game, enthusiasm is bursting forth
more than ever. Naturally, that
old tradition of rivalry kindles the
spark to the whole set-up.
Friday night history will be un
folding itself (moment by moment
, . . play by play) into the await
ing hearts and minds of interested
supporters. Of all the Western
Conference rivals these tw’o teams
certainly cause their share of pub
lic opinion among sport fans. Even
to try making a prediction as to
the outcome could easily be con
sidered “vain,” because anything
spectacular can happen (and usu
ally does happen)—especially in
this case. “Anything” might just
as well include everything. Some
how, just the name “Greensboro'
has a i)sychological effect on our
players, most likely the same being
true vice-versa.
Glancing back over the past four
years, Greensboro is accredited
with one win along -with High
I'oint’s two victories: that period
reflected one deadlock. 0-0. How
ever, according to this year’s stand
ing, Greensboro rates a better level
than do the Bisons thus far (H. P.
having a 2-5-1 showing). Never-
Ihe less, by all means that is no
indication for a push-over. In fact,
Friday’s game is expected to hold
just as much heated performance
as in years i>ast.
Tf the present season’s records
of playing on a home field lias any
effect on choosing the visitor,
Greensboro would decidedly be
“tops.” But still our optimistic
l^isons are looking forw’ard to mak
ing their debut in the new Greens
boro stadium something to remem
ber.
All in all, the most important
outcome is that our relationship
will forever maintain that atmos
phere of good sportsmanshift—even
through rivalry—both now and
throughout years to come
Here’s a toast to Greensboro—
our most w-orthy opponent.
“Next time you call the hidden ball play, Jones, keep track of the ball!”

Whirlwinds To Meet Bison
Of High Point Here Tonight
(Gontintied from Page One)
an inspiring game.
In 1948, the stor}’ was different.
The Bison this time were on home
ground and battered a bunch of
inexperienced Whirlie Sophomores
and Juniors to the tune of 19-6.
The Black Bison will be led by
Bobby Jo Mickey, a halfliack, who
has been on the all-state list num
erous times this season.
The Whirlies, of course, have a
few potent all-staters, too. Bob
Enochs, Avho scored three times in
the Asheville game, Is a direct
threat, along with Rodney Harrel-
son and .Toe Atbayek. After losing
their first game of the vear to
Reidsville 20-1.9, the High Pointers
have improved greatly. A few weeks
ago, they spoiled Salisbury’s unde
feated i*ecord, 26-0. They operate
from the T formation.
This game is rateil as strh^tly a
toss up, and the team tlimt gets
the break will certainly need to
take advantage of it.
As for the half-time show, Mr
Hazelman stated that the high
school band has practiced a show
that is little short of sensational.
Also, they have new uniforms for
this all-important- game.

A capacity crowd is expected to
be on hand tonight for the Bison-
Whirlie game. If the attendance
goes above the 5,000 mark, and in
all probability it will, it will be
for the first time this season. In
our estimation it will top this
mark, because the High Point fans
are noted for their faithfulness in
following their turn’s “tire tracks”
to out of town games. Year before
last when the Bisons played here,
a crowd of about 12,000 witnessed
the encounter. This year with a
new stadium of 10,000 seats and
plenty of wooden bleachers that
figure will be pushed.
Mr. Hazelman and his “corn
shuckers” will wear new uniforms
tonight for the first time in many
years. Each band member has a
new overall jacket, a pair of overall
pants, a plaid shirt, and a sailor
cap. Th^e suits fit very well into
the type of show they have planned.
■Well, it looks like the Westover
Wildcats have the first half cham
pionship of the tag football league
in the bag. They have won seven,
lost none, and tied one. This con
gregation boasts such player-s as
Steve Agapion, David Bradley, and
Don McCollum. But there ^re two
powerhouses coming along close be
hind.
’These latter two teams are
Glenwood and South Greensboro,
and they play a brand of football
of the “old school” spirit, sheer
brute power (?)
The Glenwood team boasts a
powerful line paced by hardrock
Jimmy Pearman, Jack “I ain’t had
nothing to eat in four days”
Crutchfield, and Gully “I ain’t
took a bath in two weeks.” Dalton,
while down in South Greensboro
Coach Earl Walters has molded to
gether a fast moving, highly d^ep-
tive nine brustling with sure-fire
ground-eaters, namely Wayne Staf
ford, Tiny Mims, Don Vaughn, and
Bob Patrick.
When the second half of play is
over, you can bet your bottom
dollar that the two “garden siwts”
of Greensboro will be right in there
pitching, because they play football
the way you like to see it played.

Allen, Staton, and
Sherrill Face Each
Other In Big Game
Tomorrow afternoon when the
Duke .Blue Devils meet the Wake
Forest Demon Deacons, three for
mer VTiirlies will have a reunion.
Zollie Sherrill and Louis Allen of
Duke will face always hustling Jim
Staton of the Deacons.
Big Jim really showed a lot of
punch in the S. M. U. game at the
beginning of the Wake Forest sche
dule this year. But as things will
happen, he was injured and hasn’t
played much since. By resting
much he has conserved valuable
energy and is ready for the annual
meet between two old rivals.
Louis Allen has always had trou
bles about his eligibility to play
football and this year so far, he is
clear, and has played the kind of
football he played while a student
at this school. He has been on the
All-American list many times and
captains the improving Devils.
Zollie Sherrill has been a, stand
out many times this season and
sustained a leg injury the other
week, but has now recuperated
completely. In his sophomore year
he starred against the highly-pub
licized Tar Heels of Chapel Hill.
Now running second string, he ex
pects 'to piay much for Coach Wal
lace Wade’s Blue Devils this Satur
day. Besides being a gridiron star
while at Greensboro High, he was
a member of the v^restling squad
and it is rumored that he wa.s an
other “Miglity Joe Young.”
ICampbell and Cox
Lead Jayvee Squad
Rout Over Winston
The Jayvees have done it
again! They have won another
contest, thus keeping their unde
feated record clean. In this 19-0
win over 'Winston-Salem, they
presented a more thorough scor
ing punch by scoring three TD’s.
In no other game this season
have they showed as much power
in winning. Until this tilt they
had netted only one score per
game.
Off to a very good start, they
drew first blood in the first quar
ter. Douglas Tice bloek^ a
Winston punt and Billy Luper
pounced upon the ball to give
the Whirlies a quick 6-0 lead.
The try for the conversion was
missed.
In the second quarter, quarter-
back Cllut Legette faded back and
tossed a 30 yard aerial complete to
Arnold Leary for their second
touchdown. Bill Campbell then
kicked true to give them a 13-0
half time advantage.
After the whistle htad blown for
the beginning of the second half,
Bill Campbell took the kickoff on
his own 2,5-yard line and took ad
vantage of excellent blocking to
travel all the way for the last
jayvee score. Again the try for the
extra point was missed, but the
jayvees hiad. enough points to win
and go to their fourth straight win.
The losers were paced by .Timmy
Roberts. Jimmy Cox at end and
Bill Price at guard were Greens
boro standouts in the forward wall:
and Bill Campbell, along with
Arnold Leary and Clint Tvegette
were stars for the backfield play.
