1 October 25, 1963 High Life Page Five IdJfilrlle TVordj The Whirlies continue to be a challenge to the odds makers, after that erratic start, the Blue and White seemed finally to settle down and jell into a strong unit. Although there were a few shaky moments in the Burlington game, a tough offense pulled it out 27- 20 for the Whirls. GHS looked even better against the Gray- hounds of Winston-Salem Gray. A stalwart defense and offensive stars such as Frankie Leonard, Bobby Rives, Lynn Duncan, and Lennie Maynor rolled up a tre mendous total of 40 points against 0 for the Twin City boys. This was the largest score run up by the Whirls in seven years. School and team spirit soared, those fumbles and stray passes of the early "GIRLS" JOIN KAY'S NEW (HARM CLUB FREE CHARM With Every 5th Charm Purchased Get your membership card at either of the 2 Kay Stores Downtown 239 S.

Smith shocks Shaw games were forgotten. After the Whirlies play Lexington, there are only Salisbury, High Point, and Reynolds to knock over. Reynolds might give us a little trouble, but a tie for the conference crown was assured. High Roinf, Salisbury And Reynolds Round Gut Whirlies' Remaining Schedule These predictions into the fu ture were not very accurate. Coach Pres Mull of Lexington brought a good team to town, and he knew it. “If somebody doesn’t watch out my little ole boys are going to hustle their way to some victories this season.” The Jacket mentor gave this warning to his fellow coaches early in the fall, and he was not kidding. The Jackets proved themselves to be a fast squad with plenty of drive. Their conference record of no defeats was intact as they left the Gate City. By losing 21-13, the Whirls have pretty well lost any chance for the loop championship. Quar terback Larry Dempsey appeared to be injured in the second half. The exact extent of his injury is unknown as of this writing. GHS now has a record of 3-4 for season and 2-2 in the conference. Besides the disappointing loss, the Lex ington game is also memorable for the red bits of fireworks, which drifted down from the sky and became pieces of cloth during the entire second half, especially at point after time. Tonight the Whirlies journey to Salisbury to face the Yel low Jackets of Boyden High. The Jackets have been unim pressive thus far in the campaign with an 0-4 conference rec ord. The Jackets had a late start this year with Ken Bumgarn er replacing Hal Quinn as head coach just before opening practice. School spirit is high, however, and over ninety boys came out for the squad. Bumgarner uses a multiple offense, and players to watch include Whirlie '62-'63 Stars Reside At Colleges Throughout the South Grimsiey's JY's Defeat Gray 21-19 A determined effort by the GHS Junior Varsity enabled them to send Winston-Salem Gray home with a 21-19 defeat. This victory gaves the Whirlie junior edition a 4-2 mark for the season. Tommy Shumaker accounted for two Whirlie Tallies as he broke through for scoring romps of two and eight yards. Quarterback Steve Hazel connected on a home riin play by finding end Bryan Gofer in the clear. This aerial TD play covered 60 yards. Providing the victory margin for the J.V.’s was Freddy Allen. This future star plunged across to paydirt on every extra point at tempt, thus providing the final spread. Coach Steve Yates cited linemen Don Heaxt, Bryan Gofer, and Tom Ross for their outstanding defen sive play. Also credited with con taining the junior Grayhound’s passing attack were defensive backs Tommy Shumaker and Bob Bain. halfbacks Gal Butler and Tony Misenhiemer, tackles Jay Hardistor and Bob Rowler, center Tom Ludwig, end Darrell Parks, and fullback Wayne Wood. Salisbury has had a football drought over the last two seasons, and their predicted finish of last in the Central Conference should be an accurate one. The Whirlies face High Point’s Bison next, Friday night in the annual homecoming game. Coach Herb Hipps’ squad has been some what of a disappointment this year, but their designation as a “giant killer” is still accurate. Right halfback Charlie Hill and big tackle George McDowell are the only returning regulars among eleven lettermen. Trip Sizmore and Barry Cook compete for the fullback spot, while Terry Shankle and Eddie Edwards have nailed down their left half and quarter back spots respectively. High Point has several strong linemen, in cluding tackle Mike Howington and guards Larry Culler and Bill Bear. Coach Hipps depends on ends Danny Idol and Freddie Bar rett for the sparks of his passing attacks. High Point has good speed and strength and definitely should not be rated as a pushover by any team. “We were the Whirlies, the mighty, mighty Whirlies! Every where we went people knew we were because we made then stand up and take notice.” Whether it was in football, basketball, track, swimming, baseball, wrestling, golf or tennis, the Whirlies from Greensboro were known and fear ed far and wide. Last year the GHS Athletic teams finished sec- on din the 4-A conference in foot ball, second in the 4-A conference in baseball, to make their overall record outstanding. This year 1962-63 outstanding stars are strung all over the south. Ail ready to start playing their famous Whirlie way for a new Alma Mater. Some of these players will always belong to Grimsley Senior High school memories and their memorable plays become standard patterns from which paper doll players are cut and expected to follow their models. The Whirlie junior varsity has thus far suffered only two defeats; these being to the undefeated Smith High varsity and the once beaten W-S Reynolds J.V.’s. The Reynolds Fiasco still haunts Coach Yates. In this contest our J.V.’s had the lead, the ball (1st and 10), and merely 30 seconds remained. A fumble and a Reynold’s 60- yard drive in twenty seconds spoil ed the Whirlies’ bid for' an unde feated conference mark. In Case You've Been Wondering The answers to the test appear ing in the Oct. 11 edition of HIGH LIFE are: (1) The game played on Feb. 25. 1960, was with Bur- lington; (2) The Whirlies’ top scorers were Center Bob Jamison, Guard R- F. Taylor, and Forward Fred Black.

Bob Powell, who started for the Whir lie basketball shooters in his soph omore year, was a key football and basketball star and is now making a name for himself at the Univer sity of North Carolina. John Hed ricks, quarterback of the ’62 foot ball team, is now offering his serv ices in football and basketball to the University of North Carolina, while Pat Moriority, spark plug of last year’s basketballers tosses for VPI. Davidson has the many tal ents of Mickey Andrews, who was an all round star for the Whirlies and Frank Crothers whose ability with the wooden tennis racket was known all over the state. The ability to hit a ball with a long shaped club proves valuable to letterman Fred Williams now re siding at Wake Forest. Duke Uni versity receives the services of ace track star Harry Boyte and the swift paced free style, state record holder Jim Burwell who set a fast example for his colleagues. A letterman in both basketball and track, Jack Harville chose to give his abilities to the fine coach es at the University of North Caro lina. To finish out the roster of past stars are Bob Martain, letter- man in b&sketball and a fine base ball player, staying near home at High Point College, and Earl Strickland, letterman in football, baseball and basketball, calmly starting all over again to build up his name at E.C.C. These players are a part of traditions started many years ago to be carried on by the future teams at Grimsley. Their names are but trival things but the great plays provided by each will remain highlights in GHS history.
