Page Four High Life February 14,1950 Charlotte Trounced By Rampaging Whirlies How to Play Ping'Pong or Gnip-Gnop Ping-pong is a game played with two paddles and a round sphere that goes “ping” when you hit it Avith a paddle, and “pong” when it hits the italde put there for it to hit. Much like tennis, it is unlike tennis in that you do not haw to dress the same necessarily. In fact, being an indoor game, you do not have to dress at all to play ping-pong, especially as it is usually played in the basement close to the fur nace or oil heater,, as the case may be—unless, of course, you are play ing with someone else, which would be very hard to do otherwise be cause of the two paddles and the length of the table, and this being the case, it is recommended that you wear something, because the paddles are covered Avith sandpaper which tends to leave marks which can very easily be identified as being left by a hard whack with the paddle by a losing opponent. (Proust thought he Avrote long sentences, he don’t know us very Avell, do he?) Furnace Optional The furnace, or oil heater, as the case may be, is optional if it is summer time, or, if you do not mind The penetrating cold, even in the winter, though in such a case it is advisable to wear something, e\’en though you may he playing or at tempting to play alone, which, as stated above, is difficult to do; or if the equipment (i. e. Paddles, table, and round celluloid sphere) is in the attic where furnaces are very un usual, and a.s heat has a tendency to rise therefore making it very cold in the basement, and it would be very useless to play ping-pong in the basement where the furnace is, if the table is in the attic and so are the paddles. But playing in the attic, regard less of where the table is, etc., is not recommended from the stand- Whirlies Top Maroons; Bealen by Green Wave Jje(i by guards Bill Campbell and Sihay Kincaid, the local quintet breezed to their fourth conference win as against only one loss in a CO-45 win OA’cr Asheville. Although the Whii-lies went score less in the opening minutes of the game, they fought hard to over- wme a 2-4-2C half-time deficit. Chal lenged the first half by the ao curate sihooling of Bill Deitz and Don Moretz, they found themselves tied four times in the first 10 min utes of playing time. But timely shots by Campbell and Kincaid proved to be the deciding factor when the Whirlies pulled out in front for good. High scorers were Campbell with 19 to his credit and Kincaid AA'ho bagged 15 for the night. Bob Kennerly got 9. Gastonia 60-Greensbcro 44 The baskeirball fans saw another CO point battle the following night, but this time it Avas paced by the opponent. The Green Wave inA-aded the local gym with a no-Avin rec ord OA'er a si)an of tw'o years, pulled a major upset, and completely baffled Coach .Tamieson’s charges for four complete quarters. They shoAA’^efl a usage of defense and of fense tactics Avhich had missing in the Gastivn camp many years. The AA’inners AA’^ere led by center Clary Avho garnered 14 for the night. Crunkleton, Webb, and Brooks folloAved closely behind with 13. 11, and 10 respectiA-ely. The Whirlwinds had trouble Avith offense early in the tilt and missed many shots which could have told a different story.

Taken as a AAihole, ping-pong is a quite complicated and complex game, and it is recommended that the beginner in the sport try something less strenuous and , not quite so involved. Would anyone be interested in a game of checkers? Whirlie Grapplers Post Triumph Over Game Blind School Some 200 spectators viewed the wrestling match with North Caro lina School for the Blind held at the boy’s gym last Thursday after noon, and saw the local matmen walk off with a 28-13 win, their initial win of the season. ^ The Mind v.’»restlers, or nearly blind, made a herodc stand for the first part of the match and seemed at no disadvantage considering their handicap. The more experienced Whirlies poured on the strength and steam later in the match to post a very impressive Avin. The boys from Raleigh are coached by 0. G.

Greensboro High Sehool Oaralcade of Sports By Richard Whittemore Greensboro's OAAm Mace BroAvn and High Point’s Ray Hayworth, both with major league “discharge buttons,” directed the baseball clinic held here recently in Legion Hall. The crowd was small but said the scouts, “It was the best of the Carolina tour.” Some 37 interested iiersons at tended the opening session. This nation-wide tour is sponsoretl by the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues and of course, Commissioner “Happy” Chandler. Asheville, Charlotte, and Hickory also have been visited . . . The fundamental ideas of tutoring the future baseballers Avere discussed . . . The following nighir base running, slid ing, fielding, and catching made up the schedule. President Ted Mann of the Carolina league attended the session along Avith former All- American Ace Parker of Duke. MUMPS FOR STAN. JR.

The Greensboro Purple Whirl- Avinds rolled to another Western Conference victory at the expense- of the Charlotte Wildcats, and vir tually assured themselves of a berth at the state championship playoffs to be held in Duke’s indoor gym this month. The boys from Charlotte Avere stopped time and again by a stnh- born defense AAdth Doug Kincaid and Bill Campbe’ll stealing the ball and setting up easy baskets. The first half was close, Avith both teams off to a slOAv start, but the Whir lies left the floor with a 24-16 in termission advantage.
