Raleigh DefeatsGreensboro
In Non-Conference Game
The Greensboro High Whirlies
were handed their fourth defeat
of the season by the Raleigh Caps
here last Saturday.
The partisan Greensboro crowd
saw the home favorites blow a
twelve point lead in the first quar
ter. The Whirlies, leading 17-5,
hit a cold spree and were ahead
by only one point at the half.
The Caps took a three point
advantage into the final quarter
and held it although there were
some anxious times for the visi
tors. The turning point of the
game came when Fred Black s
lay-up was tipped out of the bas
ket by one of the Whirlies who
was going for the rebound. One
official said the basket was good
while the other said it was not.
Had the two-pointer counted the
Whirlies would have had a three-
point lead with about three min
utes left in the contest.
Although it did not count the
Whirlies were not out of the ball
game. Raleigh moved'into a quick
seven point lead scoring eight
while blanking the Whirlies. Bob
Jamieson, R. F. Taylor, and Pete
Homey cut the lead back to three.
But the Whirlies could move no
closer.
When one of Taylor’s shots roll
ed around the rim and fell off,
the Whirlies were doomed.
It must be noted that Taylor
had a badly bruised leg and could
not go at full strength. It was a
bad night for the Whirlies leading
scorer. He tallied only seven.
Leading scorer for the Whirlies
was Jamieson with 12 points fol
lowed by Homey with nine.
Wrestlers Trample Bison;
Squad Improves Steadily
Greensboro Senior High’s wres
tling team defeated the High Point
grapplers here Thursday night,
January 28, by a score of 31-15,
as the Whirlies won all but three
matches.
The Whirlies took the early
lead 3-0 after the first match.
Then came a forfeit as one of the
Whirlies was slightly overweight
and was disqualified. High Point
thus took the lead at 5-3. Two
straight decisions and a pin gave
the Greensboro matmen the lead
again at 14-5 after the fifth match.
The Bison then started to roll
and won the next two matches to
take a 15-14 lead, and it looked
as if the tables were turned. How
ever, the Bison were not able to
win a single point during the re
maining five matches.

Jayvees Down Curry
70-20 In Easy Romp
Romped is not the word to de
scribe the way the Jayvees rolled
over Curry 0-29 here last Friday
night in an nonconference basket
ball game.
The starter for the little Whir
lies were West, Wilson, Black,
O’Brien and Davis. The J.V.’s made
20 points the first quarter to
Curry’s 4. Jimmy Wilson was the
outstanding player for Greensboro
this quarter.
Curry tried many times to break
the Whirlie defense but was sadly
disappointed.
The fourth quarter was just
about like the three before the
little Whirlie’s great playing kept
Curry’s score to eight points. The
final score in favor of Greensboro
70-29. The high scorers for the
team were Black and Lowe both
with 12 points each. Wilson fol
lowed with 9 points. The top men
for Curry were Wade with 13 and
Baxter got 7.
remaining matches by decisions
and took the victory 31-15.
There were foim pins recorded
in the matches—two for each team.
Yank Kirkman pinned his High
Point opponent in only 48 seconds.
Leith Singletary registered the
other pin for the Whirlies.
This victory shows that the
Whirlie wrestlers needed only ex
perience to become a fine squad.
The boys in the lightweight class
es were inexperienced at first and
had trouble. They have gained
some of that experience now, and
it is telling in the outcome of the
matches.
In the High Point match, they
lost only three of the first seven
matches, and one of those defeats
was a forfeit. It now appears that
the team is shaping up very well
for the state championships.
Monday, February 1, the grap
plers won another even more de
cisive match. They walloped Lex
ington’s Wildcats 41-11 in a one
sided battle featured by six Whir
lie pins.
Lexington won three of the first
four matches for an 11-3 lead, but
could not score no more. John
Kirkman started the rout by pin
ning his man in only 52 seconds.
Kirkman seems to be shaping up
as a fine wrestler on the basis of
these two matches. A little more
support from the student body
could be a great help to the team.
One of the main reason that the WhirUe basketball team is now ranked first in the Central
4-A Conference is the fine rebounding strength. Shown above is Fred Biack palling down a re
bound against one of the WhirUe foes. ’The WhirUes must have repeated support for the remainder
of the season if they are to successfully defend their state champlonsMp.

Besides their constant practice

expansion. They intend to set up
a Girls’ Athletic Association some
time this, month.
Each member of the council has
been asked to invite five or six
girls interested in athletics to be
come members of the new Assocl
ation, according to Nancy Crab
tree, secretary of the present
council.
The Association will then elect
a new Girls’ Athletic Council and
begin work. According to Nancy,
the purpose of the Association is
to enlarge girls’ sports here at

those deserving it. It is hoped the
sAsociation will stimulate more in
