Page Four HIGH LIFE SPORTS SECTION February 24, 1956 Matmen Remain Victorious After Defeating High Point by farber A sudden splash of enthusiasm has entered the air around GHS. And the cause of it al); Lody Glenn’s wrestlers. Ed Meade,-Bob Canada, and Tommy Smith have earned themselves the by line of “Little Mites,” and have kept the 103 lb. weight class “all Whirlie.” Handshakes are to be handed Benny McKee, tor his manly art of self-defense; Lou Cavan and Butch Bailey are good material for the wrestling arenas, not only because of their grappling skills, but because of their fine ability to ‘scare the heck’ out of their op ponents with a variety of faces. Jackie Jones, well, I used to think that if Jackie stepped on an ant, he couldn’t kill it—^probably just give it a bad headache—^but no longer . . . fiery Jones is one of, if not the, most consistent hold- swappers on the squad. Harvey Daktor is the next “hoss,” and believe me, “Harv” didn’t get that physique of his by lifting wallets. No, sir. . that guy’s got bulging biceps from his head to his neck, and is def initely one of the strongpoints on the Whirlie wrestling crew. This is his first year as a "varsity” man, and with a record of five wins against only one loss, there’s but one thing to do—name him Daktor, “the Hoss.” Kent Carter is the proverbial powerhouse, and once a foe is caught in his grasp, there’s nothing left to do but turn on television. Charlie Whedbee has lost only one match this year which just goes to show that you can’t pin a good man down . . Whedbee came directly off the gridiron onto the mats and the change wasn’t as easy a» one might think . . yet, Charlie is holding down every 165 pounder that comes his way, and should be regarded as first rate material tor the up-and-coming state championships! Last, but by no means the least, we find Bert Wilder, that fella’s really come along in a great fashion! Soon as Bert shakes hands with his op BLUE BIRD CLEANERS 1613 MADISON AVE. Orchid Service ponents, the spectators start to bring out the handkerchiefs . . friendly, funny, and fast; Bert gives the team a good deal of security. Coach Glenn’s grapplers won their ninth match against one draw, defeating High Point 38-0 here on the afternoon of Feb ruary 16.

Whirlie Swimmers Take Southern; Hubner, Nance Get 2 Firsts Each Greensboros unchallenged swim ming team which gleaned an im pressive record last year made a convincing step toward duplicat ing or even bettering its own rep utation last Satiu-day at the Southern Interscholastic Swim ming Championships held at Chapel Hill. The Greensboro boys walked away for the second straight year with the team tro phy awarded at this meet, one of the largest of its type in the country. Led by Bob Hubner and David Nance, the locals captured five out of nine first places in com piling an impressive 70 points as campared to their nearest rival’s 51. A total of ten outstanding teams competed in the all-day event. David Nance, ruler of the waters wherever he swims in high school competition, took two first places, establishing new records in both. In the 200-yard freestyle event he bettered the long-standing rec ord held by Tony Schiffman by five seconds. The official time was 2:05. In his second victory Nance swam the 15d-yard indi vidual medley in the record tinM of 1:39.0. Another Whirlie who had the distinction of two individual vic tories was sprinting star JBob Hubner. Hubner started the meet off with a convincing win in the 50-yard freestyle. His time of 24 seconds was a new record for the two laps. Later he returned for the second win in the 100-yard freestyle event. The other Greensboro first place was attributed to Randy Dodson in the 100-yard butterfly event. His time of 1:06 was just six-tenths of a second off the meet record for this event. Other Whirlie swimmers who placed in the final events were (Continued on Page Seven) Whirlles Defeat W-S; Albright Garners 25 After a poor shooting first quar ter, the Whirlies warmed to their task in the second half, and Doug Albright poured in 25 points to give the Whirlies a 65-51 victory over Reynolds High in Winston- Salem, February 17. The victory was the third straight for the rampaging bas- keteers of Coach Bob Jamieson. It was the seventh conference win against four losses and almost assures a position in the state tournament for the Whirlies. Doug Albright was the big man in the Whirlie attack as he scored 25 points and gained numerous offensive and defensive rebounds. Albright garnered all the Whir lie field goals in the first quarter which ended in a 13-13 tie. The action was wild and loose through out the quarter as the Whirlies missed several scoring opportuni ties. Reynolds was playing in spired ball before a Homecoming crowd. In the early stages of the sec ond quarter the Whirlies were be ing out-scrapped all over the court. Whirlie fans were not at all sure at this stage of the con test that their favorites could come home the winner. Wilson Carruthers hit two straight buc kets to put the Whirlies in a 21- 17 lead with six minutes to go in the half. Halftime found the Whirlies with a slim 31-28 lead. Poor foul shooting by the Black Demons kept them from going to the fore in this period. Albright and his mates regained their shooting eyes in the third stanza, hitting six out of 15 from the floor and altogether outscor- ing their adversaries by a tune of 23 points to 9. The Whirlies moved steadily on until they had a 54-34 lead near the end of the third quarter, which ended 54-37. Coach Jamieson cleared the bench in the fourth quarter to give his subs valuable playing ex perience. As a result the play got sloppy and rough on both sides. Center Doug Albright led all scorers with 25 points. Wilson Carruthers, although held to three field goals, collected 14 free losses to get 20 points. Doug Orr got nine points, most of which came on driving layups. The game was won from the charity line, where the Whirlies collected 25 out of 42 whereas Winston could make only 9 out of 25.
