Baseballers To Swing Into Heavy Practice Routine
Sports
Streamers
Harry Land, former catcher for
the local Black Bison nine, since
turning professional, has really
had a meteoric rise in baseball
circles. After graduation from
high school, Harry went into
Class D ball and played with the
Reidsville Luckies and the Hick
ory Rebels. Last year he had a
chance to advance up the lad
der, but chose to remain in Class
D to get experience. Now his big
chance has arrived and he is go
ing up to Class B. Good luck,
Harry!
What wo want to know is why
the local cagers entered in Class
C! in the Y Gold Medal Tourna
ment in Winston. There has been
a lot of talk about this about the
campus and around the town.
Class B would have offered much
more competition and victory
would have been much sweeter.
All of the members of last
year’s quintet made the freshman
teams at the different colleges
they attended, Darrell Welborn at
H. P. C., James Hayworth at U.
N. C., Speedy Reid at N. C. State,
Abie Short at Davidson, and Jack
Preston at Presbyterian. Abie has
since joined the army, and Wel
born has quit school.
Bison Cagemen Of
’42 Victorious In
Gold Medal Meet
Coach A. J. Simeon’s 1942 cage
team has already started out with
a bang by winning the class C
championship in the Y Gold Med
al tournament in Winston-Salem,
N. C. Under the name Beeson
Sporting Goods the members of
next fall’s basketball squad went
through the tournament with no
serious opposition from any of
the five teams they drew.
In the first game the Bison
rolled over a fighting First Re
formed team of Winston-Salem
by the impressive score of 71 to
47. Handsome Harry Rothrock
kept the loop hot, tossing in a
grand total of 20 points. This
game was characterized by close
team play.
Junius Idol, who by his fine
brand of basketball earned him
self a berth on the second team
in the All Conference selections,
paced the Bison to an over
whelming victory over the Rural
Hall All Stars by the score of 61
to 42 and led the team in scoring
with 18 points.
Waughtown was the third vic
tim of the Bison Blitz with High
Point winning to the tune of 45 to
17. Idol, Foxworth, and Peace
led the scoring with 8, 7, and 10
points, respectively.
In the semi-final game with the
Thomasville Chair Team of
Thomasville, N. C., the local five
again emerged victorious. The
score at the end of the game read
High Point, 38, Thomasville
Chair, 28.
Advancing into the finals the
Bison met the North Carohna
CERNUGEL AND ELLINGTON
NAMED AS NEW TRACK COACHES
State Guard. Practically every
member of the ten-man squad
had a scoring field day in the de
feating of the North Carolina
State Guard team. Big John
Crowder, all-round leader of the
local team, who won a first team
position on the All Conference
team, Junius Idol, Melvin Walk
er and Harry Rothrock were the
big guns in the attack. By the
end of the game the Bison had
amassed a total of 62 points to 35
for the losers.
These are the names that will
probably be seen in the line-up
of next fall’s cage squad:
Harry Rothrock, Wayne Davis,
Junius Idol, LeRoy Collins, Mel
vin Walker, Jimmy Rones, Don
ald Dunkelberger, John Crowder,
Bill Peace, and Jimmy Foxworth.
OLD GRADS
ON CAMPUS
“Hi everybody. Remember
me?” has echoed across the cam
pus during the past week as
alumni members of High Point
high school, home for spring hol
idays, have visited their Alma
Mater.
Loyal Tarheels were in the ma
jority with Jim Hayworth, bas
ketball ace, renewing his ac
quaintance with the High Point
girls, and Jack Hussey practicing
trick shots on his old court. Ansel
Snow and N. L. Garner dropped
Sporting his Naval R. O. T.
High Point high school’s cur
rent track squad will be coached
by Jim Ellington of the Junior
high faculty, and Tony Cernugel,
head football coach, it was an
nounced this week by Athletic
Director A. J. Simeon.
Virtually all of last season’s
lettermen, which placed second in
the Western Conference Meet,
will be lost to Coaches Ellington
and Cernugel this spring.
Gone are John Chastain, Bill
Hall, Bill Craven, Doug Johnson,
Bud Kivett, Herb Speas, Abie
Short, all sure point winners with
the ’41 Bison trackmen.
Back, however, will be Daisy
Barker, Robert Marshall, Gorrell
Speas, Paul Williamson, Bill-
Peace, Bill Kivett, and Peck Sta
ley, around whom the nucleus of
the spring’s squad will probably
be built.
Coach Ellington, however, is
expected to bring up several
strong runners from his Junior
High team of a year ago, which
swept all Jtmior High school com
petition in its wake.
Although no complete schedule
has yet been released, the track-
sters will enter the state meet at
Chapel Hill May 1, the Western
Conference Meet at High Point,
April 23, the triangular meet with
Salisbury and Charlotte at Salis
bury, and will schedule a dual
meet with Reynolds, here.
m.
C. uniform, Grady Morgan, for

zel Morgan and Russell Clarke.
Statesmen “Speedy” Reed, Joe
Woolen, Royster Thurman, Herb
Hodgin, Grady Goldston, Charhe
Ward, Jimmie Smith, and Rich
ard Hargett dotted the campus,
recalling their carefree high
school days.
Others seen on the campus
were Mavis Peace, Jackie Ken
nedy, Kelly Lawson, and Presby
terian’s Jack “Poker” Preston.

SPRING GRID
DRILLS CLOSE
^ Seven Regulars
Return To Fold
Spring football practice, an an
nual affair at High Point high,
comes to a close because of other
sjjorts interfering.
Delayed for about three days
because of exceptionally late
snows, huskies striving for posi
tions on the 1942 Bison eleven
now have three fuU weeks of
strenuous practice under their
belts and are ready for any thing
and “raring” to go for the next
season.
A new high in players report
ing for the practice was reached
when a total of 61 boys were is
sued equipment.
The only injured player thus
far has been Spurgeon McDade,
who suffered a br«ken collar
bone.
At end, destined to be one of
the weakest positions before prac
tice, two boys having their first
test at ends are shaping up fast
into good material. These are
James “Jelly” Jensen, and Paul
Williamson.
Regulars returning next year
will be Arnold Metcalfe, captain;
Albert Evans, John Crowder, Da
vid Barker, Leonard Suggs, Otis
Chapman,' Jimmy Rones, and
the mighty mite, Donald Dunkel
berger.
The Bison eleven of 1941
achieved an outstanding record
through out the season, and with
nine regulars returning, the Bi
son ’42 might well look to “new
worlds to conquer.” Spring
training, always a preview of the
next year’s team, has shown that
High Point will be ably repre
sented on the gridiron next sea
son.
Delayed because of disagreeable
weather, baseballers finally
swung into active practice for the
first conference game which is
scheduled for Apri^ 3.
Returning from last year’s stal
wart crew are Wayne “Trees”
Hoover, John Crowder, “Pinky”
Hedrick, Garland Pugh, Donald
Upton, Melvin Walker, Harry
Rothrock, and Jimmy Foxworth.
In the above mentioned play^
ers. Coach Morgan has the nu
cleus for one of the strongest
teams to represent the local
school on the diamond in many
a year.
The main position in dire need
of material is the important job
of backstopping. Last year.
James Hayworth, now a fresh
man at Carohna, held this spot.
This year’s baseball team is
High Point’s last chance to beat
the proud Whirlwinds of Greens
boro, as both the football and
basketball teams failed to stop
them.
Following is the schedule for
the 1942 Black Bison nine. Not
able is the absence of the Char
lotte Silver Streaks, who have
withdrawn from the Conference.
Schedule:
April 3, HP at Burhngton.
April 7, HP at Greensboro.
April 10, Sahsbury at HP.
April 17, Gastonia at HP.
April 24, HP at Gastonia.
April 28, HP at Salisbury.
May 1, Greensboro at HP.
May 5, Burlington at HP
May 8, HP at Winston-Salem.
May 12, Winston-Salem at HP.
MERRILEES APPOINTED AS
NEW COACH OF BISON GOLFERS
Mr. Andy Merrilees, pro at the
Emerywood Country Club, will
coach the 1942 edition of the Bi
son golf team, it was announced
this week by Athletic Director,
A. J. Simeon.
Coach Simeon stated that with
Merrilees as coach, he felt confi
dent that the Bison team would
have a splendid chance ef win
ning the state meet this spring.
Mr. Merrilees has developed
many outstanding golfers. In
cluded among these are Bobby
Dunkelberger, who won the
French Amateur in 1939 and
“Frosty” Snow, ranking member
of the University of North Caro-
lint golf team.
This year’s team will be led by
little Donald Dunkelberger, bro
ther of Bobby, now earning
twenty-one dollars a month
working for Uncle Sam. The
mighty little Donald won the
Carolina High School Open last
year with a brilliant card of 77,
74, 69 for a total of 218 on 54
holes.

“Monk” Watkins, lanky num
ber two man last year, will again
hold down this position. Watkins
is a long driver off the tee and
much is expected of him.
Wayne Davis, steady and de
pendable, will probably get the
nod for the number three posi
tion over his rival, Ben Cooper,
who will hold down the number
four place. Davis and Cooper
were fighting each other for the
number three spot last year.
Although every man on the
squad is a letterman, his place on
the team is by no means safe.
Charles McPherson, a reserve
a year ago, Homer Holton, and
Bob Gayle will make things hot
for the varsity.
The Bison will enter the state
meet in Chapel Hill April 28, the
South Atlantic Open in High
Point, N. C., and will card dual
meets with Lexington, Burling
ton, Sahsbury, Greensboro, and
R. J. Reynolds.
