JUNE 11, 1940 GOLDSBORO HI NEWS PAGE THREE SPORTS STUFF All The Latest Dope • by HERMAN PERKINS As I sit down to write my last column, realizing that this is the last issue of the Hi News I’ll ever work on, I can’t help but feel a little sadness. My only hope is that the Hi News has covered thep sports in GHS this year so as to satisfy you, the readers. 1 am devoting this last column to those individuals of our school who stood out in the different sports during 1939-’40. In football, the Quakes won five, lost three, and tied one, and placed fourth in the Northeastern Conference. Billy Powell and David McClenny were tops in the backfield and line, respectively. Captain Powell led his team in scoring with a total of 49 points, and was the leading offensive man in general. “Shoeball’s” stalwartness in the line was a main factor in the Quakes’ success. His job at center was always done well, and he was always there when an opponent tried to break through. Other members of the Quake eleven who stood out were Potter, Nickens, Howell, Liles, and Taylor. The season’s results in football line up like this; 1939 FOOTBALL RESULTS Goldsboro 19 Wilmington 0 Goldsboro 0 Wilson 6 Goldsboro 6 Fayetteville 6 Goldsboro 7 Washington 0 Goldsboro 0 Roanoke Rapids 0 Goldsboro 6 Rocky Mount 26 Goldsboro 39 Morehead City 0 Goldsboro 0 Greenville 7 Goldsboro 13 Tarboro 6 Goldsboro 40 Kinston 7 Won 5, Lost 3, and tied 2. point after point.

The record for the cindermen: TRACK RESULTS Goldsboro 34 Greenville 69 Goldsboro 73 Rocky Mount 31 Goldsboro 31 Greenville 69 Goldsboro 31^/2 Rocky Mount 72 In basketball the boys’ team won nine and lost eight; the girls’ team won four, lost six, and tied one. Standing out among the boys were Clyde King and Glen Johnson. Clyde rolled up a total of 114 points during the season and Cjlen was right behind him with a total of 104 points. Both of these boys gained berths on the Hi News All- Conference team. One member of the girls’ team that stands out in my mind is Marie King. She’s Clyde’s and Claude’s sister and made the varsity her first year out. This lassie will bear watching next year. The season’s record for basketball looks like this: The track team, while not making such an impressive showing improved very much over last year’s team. Their record shows that they won one and lost three in dual meets and won the high school division of the Eastern Car olina Invitational Meet. Co-captains Ed Bailey and Frank Ormond deserve rec ognition as the two leading track men. Both were always in there, rolling up BASKETBALL RESULTS BOYS’ GAMES Goldsboro 41 Smithfield 17 Goldsboro 21 Washington 8 Goldsboro 33 New Bern 25 Goldsboro 12 Tarboro 23 Goldsboro 14 Kinston 28 Goldsboro 26 Selma 28 Goldsboro 24 Wilson 30 Goldsboro 14 Tarboro 28 Goldsboro 24 Kinston 22 Goldsboro 21 Greenville 17 Goldsboro 37 Roanoke Rapids 29 Goldsboro 23 Smithfield 20 Goldsboro 33 Roanoke Rapids 21 Goldsboro 25 New Bern 36 Goldsboro 22 Wilson 28 Goldsboro 29 T Washington 16 Goldsboro 21 Greenville 26 Won 9—Lost 8.

Coach Johnny Johnson’s baseball Quakes had about the most successful season of all. They won 13 out of 15 games for a percentage of .866. Brinkley Taylor led the team at bat for the season with a neat .532. For a complete resume of the team’s record see information elsewhere on this page. Well, I guess that just about covers it all. No, I won’t be back. You see, I’m graduating. Coach N. Jeffrey Opines Athletic Year In General In a recent interview Coach Norris Jeffrey summed up the sports year as follows: “The baseball team exceeded all ex pectations, but football was a little dis appointing. The team did not have much life until the last two games. In juries to Potter and Edgerton at the first of the season may account for this fact. Basketball was just about as expect ed. However, some games were lost that were expected to be won and some games were won that were expected to be lost. Track was not so successful. A coach with experience in track is needed for this sport. The students’ support of our sports teams on the whole was very poor. The support of football was fair, of basket ball, very poor; and track, the worst in years.” In regard to the number of boys out for athletics in GHS, Coach Jeffrey said: “We have as many boys and girls out as can be handled by the present coaching staff and as many as can be accommodated in the dressing rooms, practice fields, and gym.” When asked how he thought parti cipation in sports helped students, Mr. Jeffrey replied: “Some are helped phy sically, and others increase their self respect because of their ability as ath letes. Many are helped to develop and continue lasting friendships.” I GET YOUR MEATS AT | I Sherard's Meat Market | miiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiE}tiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiic]iiiii>iniiiH)i»i>i BASEBALL DATA Batting Averages Heyward, c 000 McClenny, c 340 Potter, c 322 Ginn, lb 239 Triplett, lb 000 Wynn, 2b HO Yorkc, 3b 352 Johnson, ss 362 Southerland, ss 182 Taylor, If 532 Grant, p 333 Liles, If •' 000 Bissell, cf 353 Pate, cf 500 Montague, rf - 340 Payne, rf 294 Clyde King, p 235 Rogers, p 000 West, p 100- Claude King, p 235 Team Average 243 Game Scores Goldsboro 9 Clinton 3 Goldsboro 2 Wilson 22 Goldsboro 8 Washington 2 Goldsboro 13 Roanoke Rapids 11 Goldsboro 13 Kinston 3 Goldsboro 15 Washington 7 Goldsboro 7 Selma 0 Goldsboro 8 Wilson 7 Goldsboro 2 Clinton 3 Goldsboro 6 Selma 1 Goldsboro 3 Kinston 0 Goldsboro 10 Tarboro 0 Goldsboro 7 Roanoke Rapids 10 Goldsboro 15 Greenville 2 107 Monograms GivenTo Athletes At Special Letter Day Broadcast Quakes Win Final Games, Bring Percentage To .866 Traveling to Greenville for their last game of the season Thursday, May 24, the GHS baseball Quakes defeated the Phantoms, 21-3 on an 18-hit barrage.

Brinkley Taylor led the Quakes at bat with an amazing average of .532 for the season. Trackmen Lose Last Meet To Rocky Mount Blackbirds In their fourth and last dual meet of the season the GHS track team fell be fore Rocky Mount Blackbirds 72 Vz to SV/z Monday, May 20, at Rocky Mount. Many field and track records were shattered by both teams. Holsher of Rocky Mount cut the 100-yard dash record by a second and also the 440- yard run by a full nine seconds. Bailey of Goldsboro equalled this record as he broke two field events, the most outstanding of which was the discus throw traveling 12 feet I'/z inches more than the old record. Other records were broken by Luper, Parker, and the relay team composed of Holsher, Lu per, Mason, and Cade of Rocky Mount. Shumate of Goldsboro also broke a track record.
