January 13, 1956 a
School-Spirit Supports In Whirlie Win Over Charlotte
Locals Upset'Cats
In Conference Game
Upsets occur, but an underdog
Greensboro High quint came up
with the most startling one as
they put to the wayside a much-
heralded Charlotte High squad by
a score of 75-67, January 6.
Losing three of their five start
ers made Coach Bob Jamieson’s
club a deep underdog. But after
the initial tap-off, there was no
sign of “class distinction.” The
Whirlies,, led by sharpshooting
guard Owen Johnson, gave the
impression to onlookers that they
were dusted with “stardust” pre
vious to the game time. Knowing
that they were the decided dark
horse seemed of no importance
as they kept the hosts busy on
their toes for two entire halves.
Johnson swished the nets for 21
markers, 11 of ’ those coming
from hits at the charity line.
Doug Albright, Whirlwind center,
proved a strong spot on * the
Greensboro team as he cashed in
for 18 points, which combined
with Johnson’s total, accounted
for slightly more than half of the
Greensboro scorii^.
Team Effort For Win
It was no single player who won
the contest. Coach Jamieson’s
charges, helped considerably by
the two loaded buses of GHS sup
porters, were in no mood to lose
their AAA opening ball game. Wil
son Carruthers, Paul Dyson, Doug
Orr, Fred Hitchcock and Lin
Oates all contributed gainfully
to the Whirlie cause.
Command Halftime Lead
Going into the second quarter,
the home ttam held a slim
one-point lead 14-13. By halftime,
the GHS visitors had mustered a
14-point advantage as they left
the court for intermission with
a 44-30 stronghold.
The win left Jamieson’s dribb
lers in a jubilant manner, as it
afforded them a 1-0 record in
the conference. It also boosted
team morale and school spirit,
leaving all heads pointing to
wards the state championship
crown!! I
Greensboro’s swimmers, out to
duplicate the fine records of their
last two seasons, won their initial
dual meet of the 1956 season
against thie Myers Park High
School on Saturday, January 8,
at the Central YMCA.
The Whirlies were victorious in
all but one of the eight events
included in the competition. They
compiled a twenty-seven point
margin in the 47-20 triumph.
Bob Hubner provided the out
standing performance of the after
noon by establishing a new state
record for a twenty yard pool in
the 100 yard free-style event. His
time was 57.4 seconds.

On the local mat scene are pictured several promising “grunt-and-groaners.” From left to right are;
Ed Meade, David Levy, Lewis Gunter, Benny McKee, Roger English, Dwight Witty, Bill Ward, Bobby
Brown, Charles Whedbee, and Bert Wilder. Other s tar members who are not pictured but will s^ much
mat action this year are light-weight, Jacky Jones; and two middle-men, Kent Carter and Larry
Rogers. It seems as if C^h “Lody” Glenn has found himself with a fieldhouse full of potential five-
pointers. Farber states that “wrestling is a noted sport in which Lody teaches you to shake hands with a
suy, then grab his neck and twist his hand so he can’t run while you break his neck. It is definitely
rising bn a high school level, and it’s a sure bet to be one of the best body-building, physical and mental
athletics around GHS.” The Whirlie Mat-men met in a contest with Asheboro here last night and
secured a victory over the foreign hairy-chested he-men. The next battle will be with Statesville on
January 17 here in the high school gsrm, and Coach Glenn invites all students to attend and support
the Whirlie wrestlers.

Gracefully the New Year has
been absorbed, and along with it
many parties, and many pro
gressive dinners, but I figure it
this way, a guy only lives once in a
while, so make the most of it..
here’s wishing one and all a
Happily Successful New Year, and
to the seniors — a diploma...
Sports-wise, the brand new 1956
paved the way for quite a few
worthy occurences.. .namely the
annual look-forward-to Bowl
Games—Sugar, Rose, Orange, Cot
ton, Gator’, and the Hula Bowl,
a new one in which Carolina’s
own Will Frye participated down
i in Honolulu.. the most disappoint-
I ing “Bowl,” financially as well as
I skillfully, was the Maryland versus
' Oklahoma contest.. .the Okies

Whirlie Hellers Lose
To Bulldogs, 68-56
Excluding Whirlie center Paul
Dyson’s two-point effort, the Dur
ham High cagers on January 3
masterfully out-performed the
hc-me-standing squad by 68-56,
with the score being knotted on
several different occasions and ex
tremely close on many others. The
Whirlie dribblers held a one point
advantage at halftime, 29-28.
Unfortunately for Coach Jamie
son’s club, the Bulls came through
in the waning moments of the
contest “all fired up” and with
only minutes to go, poured through
the baskets a winning margin.
For Greensboro, three cagers
carried the brunt of the scoring
department. Forward Larry Gill
swished the nets for 17 points,
one of the best efforts of the young
season. Wilson Carruthers, another
forward, and rising center Paul
Dyson also hit in the double fig
ures. netting 12 and 11 markers,
respectively.
The player who literally “walk
ed away with the ball game” was
Durham’s flashy forward Paul Mc
Neil, who led all scoring with 24
points. His shooting accuracy
wrecked the Greensboro defenses,
hitting nine field goals out of 16
shots and six one-pointers from
the free throw line.
The loss did not count against
Whirlwind hopes of annexing a
top spot in the AAA Western
League, It was a non-conference
battle, the last one for Jamieson’s
struggling charges.
