GRAPPLERS YEAR AWAY ! THE WHIRLIE SCOREBOARD
No longer is the cry “Wait till I With the basketball season at its

“Wait till ;

next year.”
Tills year’s wrestling squad hns
had more than double its share of
tuflutsky. What seemed to be at
the first of the season a winning
Learn has turned out to be not-so-
seemingly winning after all. But
what’s to blame? Nothing except
fate. The grapplers are the best,
the coaching even better. One
thing which has proved of no help
to Coach Glenn is sickness—some
thing that overcomes the best of
things. In several matches no less
than four regulars were out be
cause of some sort of physical set
back. Another handicap afforded
the grapplers was lack of experi
ence. This was especially true of
the lightweight division — 103
pounds and in the
bracket — Wrestling 103 pounds
this year is Ed Meade, a sophomore
who took over the reigns that
Jackie Jones vacated this year in
favor of the 112 pounds class.
Meade, along with several other
boys, was at a disadvantage this
season because of inexperience.
Bert Wilder, the two-ton Galento
of the GHS wrestling mats, has
been advancing steadily, improving
at every workout. There probably
won’t be a man to touch Bert next
year, and that’s what Coaches
Glennn and Manzi are pruning
their hioks for. Next year will see a
host of returnees coming back to
rack, and the coaches are building
this year. Every loss the Whirlies
have suffered, with the possible ex
ception of one or two, have _ not
been by more than 5 or 6 points.
So I reckon we’ll wait till next
year—nothin’ else to do. And
from ’56 on, Greensboro High will
be the ones not so welcome on
the mat. ...
Whether winning or losing, the
High Life sports’ staff wishes to
give credit where much credit is
due. And one way we can do this
is to list several of the grapplers
who are wrestling regularly. A few
of these are: Jackie Jones, Ed
Meade, Harold Moss, Buck Hoyle,
Dwight Witty, Charles Ward, Dave
McGraw, Kent Carter, Bert Wilder,
Harvey Daktor, Bob Cowan, and
Bill Ward.
Dribblers End Season
Excluding the state tournament,
the Whirlies have completed their
basketball season. And a success
ful season, it‘was, too. Chalking
up a convincing 14-5 record for
the year, Coach Jamieson’s hard
wood charges have once again
come through in flying colors. >^1
hate the word, but congrats!
Athletlcnition: Wrestling — A
sport in which Coach Glenn teaches
you to shake hands with a man,
then grab his neck and sprain his
ankle so he can’t run while you
break his neck.

Coach Jamieson’s dribblers, non
repeating Western AAA cham
pions, went into the state tourna
ment at Wilmington yesterday with
only an “outside chance’’ of cop
ping the cup.
The tournament, usually played
in Winston-Salem, was moved to
Wilmington in hopes of overcom
ing financial difficulties which
were had in the previous tourna
ment site.
Raleigh, Wilmington, and Ashe
ville are considered the teams to
beat in this year’s event. All three
compiled impressive records dur
ing the season. Raleigh’s Capitals
had a near-perfect record, with
only a loss to Wilmington and
the Wake Forest frosh to blemish
its record.
Wilmington, though not having
as good a record as the Caps, have
big advantage in that they are
playing on home grounds, where
already once this year they beat
Raleigh.
The Maroons lost only two con
ference tilts to replace the Whirlies
Coach Jamieson will probably
start with Norm Odyniec and Frank
Jones at guards. Lawrence Mc-
Cranie and Dove Scurlock at for
wards, and Doug Albright at cen
ter. Others whb will see plenty of
action are C. W. Bolling, Brad
Anderson, Bill Lewey, Paul Dyson,
and Bill Hana.
as Western champs.
Whirlies Beat Bison
in Final Rival Game
Greensboro High’s Whirlies, led
by Lawrence McCranie, mauled
their arch rivals from High Point
for the second time this year by
a score of 61-39.
Greensboro ended its season in
fine fasI>ion, Lawrence McCranie,
though playing not much over half
of the game, led the scoring parade
with 20 points. He was the only
Whirlie to hit in the double figures,
for Coach Jamieson saw fit to use
his reserves most of the second
half.
Doug Albright made the first
bucket, and from then on they
ravaged the Bison. At the close
of the first quarter, the visitors
held a thorough 24-10 advantage
with the score moving to 38-18 at
halftime.
High Point’s only “fight” of the
tilt came in the third quarter,
when they managed to get 8 points
and hold the Whirlie reserves to
12.
Dave Scurlock scored only 9
points, but came through with one
of his best showings off the board.
Jamieson’s charges finished the
season in, third place in the West
ern Conference, ending the year
with a 10-4 league record, and 14-5
overall*

Fish Take Second Meet;
Schiffman Wins Twice
The complete uproar following |
the victory in the 200-yard free
style relay, and consequently the
team victory, climbed a long to I
be remembered day for swimming
fans at GHS. Greensboro’s illus
trious tankmen have done it again
—this time in Southern wide com
petition held at Chapel Hill last
Saturday.
The mermen have brought home
another trophy, this one officially
dubbed The Southern Interscholas
tic Invitational Championship, to
match the one won at Atlanta
earlier this, season.
Action Saturday found record
holding Tony Schiffman of preens-
boro the outstanding individual
performer. Schiffman breezed out
the 200-yard freestyle in 2:11.2
and returned two events later to
capture a close one in the 100-yard
freestyle.
Individual performances were
overshadowed, to a certain extent,
?t the dramatic climax of the meet
by the relay teams. After the
Medley squad of Bob Sawyer,
Randy Dodson, and Bob Hubner
was touched out by Granley of
Norfolk, the score stood 49-49,

boro coach Pat F. Earey again
relied on his freestyle relay team
to pull it out of the fire. David
Nance, Dipk Robinson, Bob Taborn,
and John Burwell converted and
made it a 63-59 Greensboro victory.
The eight high school teams with
156 members combined with the
prep school division of two teams
gave officials a busy day with
several records for the indoor
course falling.
The chronoligical history of this
ninth Southern meet begins with
Bob Hubner’s victory in the 50-yard
freestyle. Bill McIntosh placed
sixth in this event. Next, Randy
Dodson took a sith in the 100
yard breaststroke. The aforemen
tioned Schiffman victory in the
200-free gave Greensboro an early
lead. After Bob Sawyer’s second
in the 100-yard backstroke, Schiff
man returned for the 100 freestyle
first place with McIntosh and Rob
inson taking fourth and fifth.
John Burwell and Sidney Oliver
took fourth and sixth places, re
spectively, in the 150-yard indi
vidual medley after Buck Carson
came in fifth in the diving. The
two relays climaxed the meet.

BY HUGH PRICE
Senior High’s wrestling crew
found it hard to get the advantage
over Goldsborb in a match here
Feb. 18th in the new gym as they
were beaten 22-19.
Outscored but not by any matter
of means, outwrestled. Coach
Glenn’s grapplers never headed
the winners.
Winning matches for Greensboro
were Harold Moss in the 127-pound
class, Dave McGraw in the 154-
division, and Charlie Ward in the
165-pound bracket.
Moss and Ward won their
matches by pinning their oppon
ents, and somewhat narrowed the
gap caused by losses in lighter
weights. Moss pinned Farmer of
Goldsboro after 57 seconds had
elapsed in the second period, while
Ward pinned Bob Malpass in 1:57
of the second period. McGraw, just
missing a pin, still managed to
rack up five points, the equivalent
of the fall. Bert Wilder, rising
mat star, and B. Parker put . up
one of the Best matches, ending in
a 4-4 stalemate.
Goldsboro defeated Greensboro
in an earlier match by 27-15.
The summary:
103—Davis (Goldsboro) pinned
Meade 1:06 of first period.
112 — Jones (Greensboro) and
Hales (Goldsboro) drew 2-2.
120—Howard (Goldsboro) de-
cisioned Hoyle, 5-4.
127—Moss (Greensboro) pinned
Farmer 57 secoi^ds of second
period.
133—Barber (Goldsboro) pinned
Witty 33 seconds of third period.
138—Rich (Goldsboro) decisioned
Cowan, 4-0.
145—Strickland (Goldsboro) de
cisioned Bill Ward, 3-2.
154—McGraw (Greensboro) de
cisioned Parker 5-0.
165—G. Ward (Greensboro)
pinned Malpass 1:57 of second
period.
Heavyweight — Wilder (Greens
boro) and B. Parker drew 4-4.
With the wrestling season com
ing to an end, and only two more
matches remaining, Greensboro
mat fans should not be the least
bit discouraged at the record which
the grapplers recorded. Coach
