Tiny Burtner has another nick
name. Its “True Toe.” This was ac
quired at the Shrine Bowl where
he kicked four extra points. The
boys from Old North State had an
easy day against the weaker but
game boys from South Carolina.
Talking of tall boys, you should
take a peek at the giants over in
the gym, Coach Jameison is all
smiles when his starting five take
the floor. Opponents gape at the
size of the Whirlies. This year’s
squad is one of the tallest ever to
represent the Whirlies on the bas
ketball court.
Say, do you reckon that we have
a Sam Ranzino on our team. From
his brilliant play during the last
two games it looks as if Bill Camp
bell will be the Big Threat to op
ponents this year. Bill was moved
to the forward slot this year and
has already given the Whirlies a
Scoring Punch.
The Veterans ot Foreign Wars
are giving a dinner in honor of the
1950 Whirlies who finished the
season with a 6-6 record. The guest
speaker will be none other that
“Peahead” Walker, head football
coach of the “Deacon Demons”
who were the surprise package of
the Southern Conference and the
Big Four.
The football Superlatives for
1950 have been selected and the
following boys will be honored at
the dinner Thursday Night. The
outstanding lineman is Bill Beck.
“Tiny” Burtner was chosen as the
outstanding back, while Archie
Morris was selected as the best-all-
around sport. At total of 42 boys
will be the Guests of Honor at the
dinner. Officials representing
Greensboro will be Coach R. B.
Jamieson, backfield Coach Charles
Baker, Head Line Coach Robert
Glenn and End Coaches Julian
Smith and James Rawlins.
Say, if you can swim without
water wings, why not go out for the
Swimming Team? No stuff, the
Whirlie Tanksters are really a good
outfit. John Irvin is the top letter-
man returning to Coach Garland
Murray. Others expected to return
are Dick Campbell, Royce Garrett,
Jere Woltz, and Gene Douglas.
A lot of boys that didn’t go out
for basketball can be found at
nights playing in the Recreation
League. “Digger” Enochs, Bill Lu-
per, “Skip” Montgomery, and Ken
Callender are playing for various
teams in the league.
“Leo” Le Gwin and John Smith
took a trip to Washington over the
weekend to see V.P.I. get trampled
by Maryland. From all reports they
had a swell time and they even
got to talk with both of the coaches
after the game.
A rumor we just heard was that
Archie Morris is taking Voice Les
sons. This we would love to hear.
Oh well, it’s an easy way to make
money, a lot easier than raising
Chickens, huh, Archie? Well, if no
one will listen to you, you can still
sing to your Chickens.
The Monogram Club is busy rais
ing money for a new Scoreboard,
which will be placed in the Gym in
the near future. The plans for the
Student-Faculty game are coming
along rapidly and the Teachers
consenting to play are, Coach Jam
ieson, Jimmy Rawlins, Julian
Smith, “Jabbo” Johnson, and Mr.
Taylor. Head Coach for the faculty
is Grandpa Baker. The Student
line-up is not complete but several
have been picked. Sonny Hale,
“Tiny” Burtner, Arnold Leary,
Archie Morris and Charlie Ken
nedy are the lucky ones so far.
The complete line-ups will be dis
closed at a later date.
I guess we picked the wrong
team to be tops this year. Navy
dumped the Army from the Ranks
of the Unbeaten. This was the ma
jor upset of the year. The final
14-2. Oklaoma took advantage of
this upset and squeezed into first
place.
Greensboro’s cagers, with Bill
Jarvis leading the way, stopped a
last minute rally by Danville to
win, 43-41, December 8. • Tljis was
the Whirlie quintet’s third straight
win.
Jarvis, the hustling giant center,
for the Whirlie five, after shaking
off a jinx in early season games,
hit the basket for 18 points. Camp
bell, the top Whirlie scorer prior
to this game, dropped in 13 points.
Center Jarvis and forward Bill
Bolton (Danville) waged a duel in
the first part of the game, with
each making 5 points in only two
or three minutes. The two teams
were evenly matched in the open
ing part of the game. Campbell
broke the tie by stealing the ball
and driving to score, giving Greens
boro the edge, 13-12. Greensboro
kept this lead throughout the game,
although Danville knotted the
count 37-37 in the final period.
The Whirlies were ahead at the
half by the slim margin of 2 points,
with the score 22-20 in their favor.
Whirlies Move Ahead
The final period was filled with
excitement and action. After the
score had been tied at 37-37, for
ward Pete Hall ^of Greensboro
dumped in a push shot from the
foul circle; and Bill Campbell, an
other Whirlie forward, dribbled the ’
ball half way down the court and
laid in 2 points. Jarvis rebounded
and scored another, the clincher of
the game.
Danville scored twice by set shots
from Henderson and Wood. But
the time element saved the Whir
lies.
The Jayvees seem to be com
ing along fairly well. The sopho
mores along with returning boys
have provided much of the Jayvee-
game’s excitement.
