May 9, 1941 GOLDSBOR HI NEWS PAGE THREE © HEDOf Congratulations, Harry Hollings worth. We are happy that you have been named Sports Editor of the Daily Tar Heel at UNC. Harry, a member of the Class of ’38, was managing edtior of the Hi News his senior year. During that year, he covered the high school athletic contests for the News- Argus, and following his sophomore year at UNC, he was sports editor for the Neivs-Argus during the sum mer months. This year Harry has been night sports editor of the Tar Heel staff. He hopes to be sports editor on some big paper when he graduates. Here’s to you, Harry! It seems as if the GHS tennis team is getting along just fine. The boys have won one meet and tied one, while the girls have tasted de feat twice. Arthur Culbertson and John Roberts have been the back bone of the team, each having won all singles matches played and the only double match in which they played together. It’s the first year that GHS has really had a team since 1935, and things are going swell. Keep it up, you court phantoms! Although the Quakes’ ball team is not doing as well as was expected, it has well represented the school in its fine display of sportsman ship, and all the members of the team should be recognized. The Quakes have shown this good trait on home and ‘foreign” soil and that is something! Just a few pick ups from here and there . . . Just four long weeks of school left in the old calendar... How about it? . . . Ed Shumate is a likely candidate for first string honors on thel942 UNC tank team. . . Ed was on the GHS tank team . .. During the New Hope—GHS base ball game on May 1 many of the players were calling the team “No Hope” . . . Where’re all of our stu dent body at these games? ... There are usually twenty-five at the game . . . the baseball players and the umpires . . . Sometimes the umpire doesn’t show up . . . Other towns in the conference have good attend ance . . . What’s wrong with us? ... A new device using the photo elec tric cell has been invented for call ing balls and strikes which helps the umpire tell whether the ball cuts the plate . . . All he has to do is judge for height . . . Maybe that’s what “Shoeball” needs for umpires. The Quakes’ batting and fielding averages have dropped considerably since the last writing. The team average for batting has gone from .195 to .176, and fielding from .884 to .874. As “ye olde scribe”, I bid you farewell, and I’ll be seeing you at the game! What did one white bear say to another? “Amopola.” Court Phantoms Play Two Meets With the GHS boys tying 4-4, and the girls losing 5-1, the tennisters of Goldsboro opened their first tennis match of the year on the Herman Park Courts with Fayetteville on April 23.
