Larry MORSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1956 GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS, GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA SECTION 4-PAGE 3 ALL IN SPORT 36 expect to throw this guy 1 "I couple of touchdown passes 'an I don't want him to drop 'em!" Whirlie Spirit Running High For AAA Game Spirit continued to run high in the Greensboro Whirlie grid camp yesterday As the players hustled through another long practice session in preparing for their state: Class AAA championship game at Fayetteville Friday night. Coach Bob Jamieson and his staff of able assistants covered both offense and defense in their third workout for Fayetteville's unbeaten Bulldogs, champions of the Eastern AAA Conference. One of the features of yesterday's practice was the running of the Whirlie halfbacks where Bobby Brown, Larry Rogers, Lofus Neese and Roger Hobbs give the Western champs plenty of depth and speed. The local forces came out of their battle with Burlington last week in excellent condition, and Jamieson expects the Whirlies to be at full strength for the important clash this Friday. Only a light polishing.u up drill is on tap this afternoon for the Blue and Jamieson planning to run through both offensive and defensive, maneuvers in the final this season.

The team departs Friday with a stop on schedule for Sanford where Coach Jamieson hopes to feed the players. Brown and Neese, who concluded regular season play as the starting halfbacks, also finished in a tie for scoring honors, each having 25 points for the '56 campaign on four touchdowns and one extra point each. Quarterback Currie Singletary, who alternated with Harold Wrenn in most of the games, followed closely with 24. Four other players shared fourth place with 18 each. These were Wrenn, halfback Larry Rogers, Hobbs and end Larry Gill.

Halfback Tommy Kitzmiller, who scored. all 12 of his points against Danville, and extra point kicker Bob McNairy were next in line, the latter adding 12 points after touchdowns. Over the season Greensboro scored a total of 198 points while limiting the opposition to 41 in 10 games. Only Asheville succeeded in scoring as many as two touchdowns against the Whirlies. An interesting factor showing up in the scoring chart points to seven of 30 touchdowns resulting from long runs averaging 65 yards or better.

Hobbs led in this department with three, the longest being a 97-yard punt return. The scoring summary: Player TO EP Total Boh Lotus.

Olympic Stars Gas Show Up Well Pays On Bad Track To GEELONG, Australia, Nov. 14 (M -Forty Olympic athletes risked their health and bones tonight in cold and bad light and marked up surprisingly good results in the first of two big pre-Olympic track and field meets.

American athletes, favorites to win the big events in the games of the 16th Olympiad, won all but three of the events they entered and two of those went runners who have been receiving their training in American colleges. There were no world record set on the slippery, poorly-lighted turf course, but a couple of Australian marks were broken and Jim Bailey's. time for 1,000 anything shown in the record books for this odd distance. The big disappointment was the wretched showing Johnny Landy, Australia's holder of the world mile record, and the failure of any Russians to compete. Winning Form Landy, trying to work back into winning form after having had a lot.

of trouble with his legs, ran stiffly in the two-mile race won by Britain's Chris Brasher, and finished 12th in the field of 14. He looked so bad that after the race he refused even to try to explain his failure. This was the race that supposedly would help him decide in what events he will compete (in the Olympics. Now he says he'll wait a few more days before deciding whether to run in the 5,000 meters. American winners were Jack Davis of Glendale, who set an record of 13.9 seconds Australian, hurdles; shotputter Parry O'Brien, pole vaulter Bob Gutowski and high jumper Charlie Dumas.

Two U.S. relay teams also won handily. Bailey, a student at the University of Oregon and winner over Landy in the U.S. last summer, ran what was believed to be the fastest 1,000 yards to win his race. Dropped Out Mike Agostini of Trinidad, who attends Fresno State College in California, beat Pakistan's Abdul Khaleg in 21.7 in the two-man 220- yard race after Stanfield dropped out.

Brasher, Britain's only entry, set an Australian record of 8:45.6 for two miles, beating U.S. steeplechaser Phil Coleman of Urbana, who made the good time of 8:48.6. Australia's Alan Lawrence was third. The second pre-Olympic tuneup meet is to be held at Bendigo Saturday. At that time Landy, just elected captain of the Australian Olympic team, is expected to make his decision about running.

Results of tonight's other events included: 110-yard high hurdles: 1. Jack Davis, Glendale, 2. Lee Calhoun, Gary, 3, JOEL SHANKLE, Durham, N.C. Time: 0:13.9.

The principals, after a regular session of their members at Guilford County Courthouse yesterday, went into a meeting on athletic affairs and determined that the two teams, on the basis of identical 7-0-1 records should be declared co-champions. Both teams will be awarded trophies. (Daily News photo by Jim Batten.)

Earnhardt Might Well Go For GNs Great Debut For Sportsman's Champ May Send Him On National Swing BY SMITH BARRIER Daily News Ralph Earnhardt has a Grand Nationals or not.

It didn't seem to bother day. He went squirrel hunting. Ralph won the national sportsman's championship for 1956, that means a few thousand extra bucks. He's going down to Jacksonville Speedway this Sunday to try to beat out Newton's Red Jarrett for the North Carolina point leadership, worth a couple hundred more. But he's got the offer to join the Ford factory team in the Grand Nationals, and after his most successful experience at Hickory Speedway last Sunday, his first division, Ralph cannot make up his mind in a hurry.

The wife and four kids make a lot of difference, since the Grand Nationals will demand travel from coast to coast. although the pay might go into five figures. "I didn't know what to expect in the Grand Nationals," he said after his Hickory debut, "but it surely felt good to get in the Grand Nationals for once and to make such a showing, I was worried the first 50 laps, but after that it just came natural. Oh, sure, I practiced three days last week in the car I was going to drive." He was the low qualifier at 21.09 seconds and officially finished second in the 100-mile feature but he was flagged as the winner and the crowd threw pop bottles at the judges stand when the decision was reversed. He wasn't originally set to run at Hickory.

When the race was postponed and rescheduled, the Ford team found two of its entrants, Fireball Roberts and Marvin Panch, also had commitments on the West Coast. Ford is trying to get an early start in all divisions for 1957. The Hickory promoters relieved the two drivers if Ford would get two other drivers, Ned Garrett and Junior Johnson, but one of the regulars preferred Earnhardt. So, Ralph drove Roberts' car and out of his excellent showing he might get an offer to join the Ford team that is supposedly being strengthened by elevating Johnny Holman to a new executive position and making Ralph Moody the tech- Winners in 44 4-H projects were announced last night at the annual Guilford County 4-H Club Achievement Day, program, held at the Bessemer School.

Negroes Acclaim Ruling Of Court, To End Boycott MONTGOMERY, Nov. 14 (P) A group of wildly sheering Negroes, rejoicing over the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against bus segregation, voted tonight to end their long boycott of Montgomery buses.

Their action came a few hours after a federal court declined to interfere with a state court injunction against a car pool used by the boycotters. The Negroes agreed to start riding city buses again as soon as the Supreme Court's decision is put into effect and the buses are desegregated. But, one of their leaders explained, it probably will be several days before the formal decision reaches Montgomery, The Negroes, shouted wild approval of Martin Luther King declaration that until then "we will continue to walk or share rides with friends." The Negroes approved the recommendation from and other boycott leaders that protest King, against segregated buses be brought to an end. Firemen Called To Blaze At White Oak Plant Greensboro firemen were called to the White Oak Plant of Cone Mills at 11 a.m. yesterday when lint, collected from textile machines into, a "lint house" outside the factory, in some way ignited.

One company remained on the scene for about five hours to wet down boxes of smoking lint as they were taken from the house. Damage was said to be light. After it was removed from the building, the lint was trucked to an incinerator at the Print Works where it caused another fire in adjacent woods, officials said. Another comwas dispatched to this scene about 5 p.m. ROY E.

More than 300 persons attended the annual awards affair last night. Sports Editor decision to to join the the Kannapolis driver yester- nical director. Moody has been drivling. Earnhardt won the sportsman's division, was running second at the national modified championship at Concord Speedway earlier this month when he broke a tie end and couldn't straighten out after the fourth turn. His GN debut was outstanding.

As for what happened at Hickory, it's another case of the scoring system being subject to error in a long race. In this instance it happened as follows: Speedy Thompson led Earnhardt by a half-lap with 13 laps to gO when the latter had to stop in the pits. Thompson passed him in the pits. Then with five laps to go, Thompson ran out of gas and had to stop in the pits. Earnhardt, right behind Thompson at the time although a lap back, regained a full lap but Thompson got out ahead of him.

The flagman, Roby Combs, thought Earnhardt was ahead and gave him the white flag (one lap to go). He was corrected by the official scorer, and Thompson was then given the checkered (winning) flag. That's when the fans went into the bottle act, but nobody was hurt. Mrs. Earnhardt was checking the laps for her husband.

She's still not certain who won the race. The GNs run at Wilson Speedway this Sunday afternoon, trials at 12:30 p.m. and the feature at 3 p.m. with $4,800 in the kitty for the leaders. This officially--and at last--closes the 1956 season which was won by Buck Baker when Herb Thomas was wrecked.

Then, the local season for 1957 GNs starts in a hurry. On Sunday, Nov. 25, Bruton Smith will have a 100-mile championship event at his Concord Speedway. Question, please. Question, please.
