whipped the 1916 Wildcats by more

to win the tourney championship.
Each player is a brilliant ball
handler and dead shot. The team
set sup shots and works together
so fast it takes the closest Of
guarding to stop it from scoring.
But a club is no better han It's
coach, and here again Greensboro
excells. Coach Bob Jamison Of
the Whirlies has established ore
o. the best records in basketball
AZ Greensboro Senior High during
the past three years. having won
SO games while losing only five.
For this reason the Glen Falls
tournament committee has invited
the Whirlies TO their annual meet
ard Greensboro has accepted, fill
ing the final spot on the tourney
program. An invitation to this
meet is regarded as N Of the
highest honors that can be paid a
basketball team. The last North
Carolina outfit to compete in a
Glen Falls tourney was the Dur
ham High National champions,
which was made up Of Bones Me-
Kinney, Bob CAN'T, and the Lofts
brothers.
Wilmington. winner of q out O.
q conference games in the last
two years, also possesses a orll'
liant record. The Wildcats Of New
Hanover High boast victories over
every high school it has met THIS
year by 20 points or more The
closest MINIS came to defeat was
at Raleigh where it barely EDGED
out a 1895 win. The Wildcats did
better at Wilmington by trampllns
the Caps, 77-36.
