March 24, 1939 GOLDSBORO HI NEWS PAGE THREE Forty Boys Workout For Baseball As Spring Sports Take Hold In GHS Pitching Staff Coach's Headache; King, Byrd, and Grant Are Hopes; Graduation Took All Hurlers With spring rolling around, base ball has been brought to the fore ground of the sports-conscious world, and at the same time about 40 boys have reported to work-out for the GrHS nine. Coach J. W. Johnson is looking around to see if he can find an up- and-coming sport in his pitching crop, which suffered no end from last year’s graduation. ‘^Claude Kang, Marion Byrd, and John Grant look to be at this stage of the game the best flingers on the squad,” said Coach Johnson. For each of the other 8 positions there is at least one experienced man turning out. At the number one sack will be Pat Pate or Romeo Lawrence, and at the other end of the drag on the hot corner will be J. R. Nickens. Filling out the end- field will be Horace Potter as catch er, Arlow Triplett as short stop and Glen Johnson at second base. In the outfield will be Rudolph Pate, center fielder, right-and-left fielders are as yet undecided. During practice sessions the squad has been divided into 2 parts and practice on 2 different fields. The reason for this is to give more men a chance to play.

The score, 37 to 29, was the tally by which GHS swimmers, March 14, avenged their defeat by Dur ham three years ago. Goldsboro captured all individual events let ting the Bull boys win only the medly and freestyle relays. Randy Middleton, veteran 100- yard freestyle man, turned in the outstanding performance of the afternoon by winning his specialty in 59.2 seconds.

Francis, who ran as a sopho more for Roanoke Rapids High School, came to Goldsboro year before last. Francis has a good chance of becoming one of the team’s best runners.

The following new boys have reported for practice since February 24: George Simpson, Paul Starling, Gabe Holmes, Ed Baily, Norwood Kornegay, Pat Pate. Hugh Dortch has been chosen manager. Blues Down Whites In Pigskin Opener In a football game played March 15 the Blues defeated the Whites 7 to 6. This game was the first in a series to be played by these two teams which are made up of boys out for spring football. The Blues outplayed the Whites during the first balf, and on the last play before half time the Blues missed a touchdown by inches as a line plunge failed. However on the kickoff after the half the Blues did the kicking and recovered the ball over the goal for a touchdown. The extra point was made by Tombo York over center. After the score it was too bad for the Blues because the Whites came back and made two drives down the field to scoring territory. Both of these were led by Billy Powell, who ran and r«CcIVtju ptisaes for long gains. The Wliites’ touclidoAvn came at the end of the second drive on the third play after Powell had received a pass from Tom York on about the 7. Three plays later Jack Smith went over center from the 1- foot line for the score. Fate Sasser failed to get the extra point on a play over tackle. Potter for the Whites and York for the Blues both showed up well in the backfield as new comers. The outstanding player of the game was Billy Powell. Schniidlapp and Howell looked good on defense for the Blues. After 100 years of baseball, big league scouts are finding that the sandlot leagues develop baseball’s future iron men. /WWWVWWWVWWWWWWA ?

The baseball schedule looks mighty tough to me for a team with no experienced pitchers on its staff, and I was just wondering what atti tude the GHS students will take if by chance the team loses two or three games in getting the ruts smoothed over. I hope that a loss or two will not cause the supporters to lag behind and cause the whole team to quiver on its foundationw I believe that our team with plenty of backers can round out into a steady playing outfit. I have faith in the new pitch ers, and think that with a few games behind to give them confidence they will hold down the mound like veterans. You know, the other day I heard something out in the '‘tin house’" that made me feel good. A group of hoys were talking about those that go out fora sport and then lay off. ‘‘Well,’" one of them said, “I think that OHS has about as many sticking out for each sport as any school I know. About the largest number of boys that can play in one contest is in football, and that is about 22. Now those between the largest number that earn regular positions and the number that are out are the ones that I admire. They know that they probably will not get to play in a game this year but have the foresight to see that they are the future regulars.” Now that, I believe, is the attitude which is largely responsible for the success of GHS teams in the last few years and which will keep them always a leading contender for the top position. Boys, stick out; you’ll be a varsity man some day. If you have not seen the football trophy given down at Washington you ought to get an eye on it. It is really a beauty. By the way, some of the people around here don’t know how close the basketball team came to winning a trophy also. They defeated Washington for the first time this year in the tournament but were titkeii down by Greenville iu the finals the next night. The team seems to like Washington, and from what they tell me they favor Washington as the place for future tournaments. I think this speaks up well for Washington, and let’s hope that when people come here they will go back with as good an impression of Goldsboro as the Goldsboro people had of Washington.
