THE POINTER
Friday May 1, 1942
Sports
Streamers
Paul Tysinger, the pitcher from
Allen Jay, already has two no hit
no run games to his credit thus
far in the high school season. Bye
the Bye he was out for baseball
here last year if my memory
serves me correctly. He would
have made a welcome addition to
the weak Bison hurling corps.
The baseball game at Gastonia
was the first ever played under
the lights for the local baseball
team.
There' is much speculation go
ing on about the school concern
ing who will be chosen as head
foobtall coach at U. N. C. next
year. Never fear it will be a good
man as always.
No sooner does baseball start
before a certain “PeeWee” Drs.
. . . begins his yearly practice
of picking the daily games and
losing his hat.
This column’s predictions for
the American and National Lea
gue races are as follows; In the
National, St. Louis followed by
Cincinnati, Brooklyn and Pitts
burg in that order.
In the junior circuit, the New
York Yankees, Boston, Chicago
and St. Louis.
There probably will be fewer
(rack letters given this year at
High Point high school than in
any previous years. The reason?
Five individual points are neces
sary before a track man can se
cure a letter and thus far only
around 39 points have been scor
ed and these are scattered mostly
between thi'ee players.

Central High
Cindermen Win
Loop Track Meet
Triumphant for the third con
secutive year in the Western
Conference Track and Field meet,
the Central High Wildcats of
Charlotte chalked up another win
to the tune of 75 1-2 points last
Friday afternoon. 54 1-2 points
assured Reynolds High of an easy
second placement, while Salis
bury copped 15 points for third,
leaving High Point last with
11 1-2 pK)ints.
By pulling six first placements
out of the bag and tying for
first in two others, the Mecklen
burg crew added an eighth vic
tory to their seven other vic
tories in 11 years of contesting.
Five old records gave way to
new record breakers. Julian Mc
Kenzie, long-distance runner for
Salisbury, set a new record for
the mile by knocking 3.7 sec
onds off the old, held by Vawter
of Reynolds, ending up his last
lap in 4:40.
Another of the five was the
mile relay which was run in
1939 by a Winston-Salem team in
3:39.6. This year’s Charlotte
team, composed of Dean, Reid,
Payne, and Bob Simmons, cut
the time to 3:38.4; 1.2 off the old
record.
Tommy Carpenter of Reynolds
broke the broad-jump record
(21-4 1-2) by 1 1-2 inches
(21-5 3-4). Afterward, he came
back to tie for first in the high-
jump.
Wheeler and Simmons also
broke old records in the low
hurdles and the 440 yard dash.
David Barker scored first in the
discus throw, which kept High
Point in third place until near the
end of the meet.
Feminine participation in ath
letics is high at the present time.
Golf, tennis, and softball, along
with a thorough course in first
aid seem to be the main items
concerning the girls.
For the first time in HPHS his
tory there is a girl’s golf team
here. Members of the team are:
Marjorie Merrilees, Nancy Wool
len, Jean Hardin, and Shirley
Redding. The team has played
one game with Greensboro, but
on account of rain, play was dis
continued after nine holes. A re
turn match is expected, however.
Members of the Greensboro team
are Marjorie Burns, 1940 state
champion.... Mary Lynn Lewis,
Betty Jane Ross, and Muriel Gil
lie.
Tennis is on the upgrade since
new courts have been built, and
many girls practice every after
noon. Later in the season a tennis
tournament will be started.
Throughout the year home
rooms have been compiling
scores in the various tournaments
—soccer, basketball, and volley
ball. Room 311 was winner in
the volley ball tournament, but
room 104 has the highest score
for all the tournaments to date.
Softball and tennis scores will be
added to determine the winner
for the entire year. Homerooms
and scores to date are as follows:

Bison Seek Revenge Over
Arch Baseball Rivals Here Today
Bison Tennis
Team Still Try
For First Win
Although winner of not a single
tennis meet this year, the 1942
Bison tennis team has shown
signs of spark and vim that fore
shadow teams of future great
ness.
The team is composed of Ar
nold Koonce, Tom Tabor, Bob
Cottam, Clinard Burton, David
Lindsay, Harold Hutchinson, Bob
Hicks, Warner Lewis, Robert
Russell, and Stan Saunders.
The racket wielders have lost
to Reynolds 9-0 and to Burling
ton 4-3, and also to Greensboro.
Their most recent defeat was at
the hands of Gray high by the
Arch-rivals Greensboro and High Point high schools
lock horns on the local diamond this afternoon at 4:00, as
Whirlwinds seek to clinch the Western Conference cham
pionship and the Black Bison go after revenge for a 0-9
defeat handed them earlier in the season by the Gate City
crew.
close score of 5-4.
Most points have been scored
by the doubles teams. Many
matches have been lost through
the inability of High Point to win
singles matches. The most con
sistent single players are Arnold
Koonce and Tom “Slim Jim”
Tabor.
With the addition of the new
tennis courts and the better
chance for practice the tennis
teams in the future should im
prove vastly over the teams in
the past.

LINKSMEN BURN UP COURSE
LED BY DUNKELBERGER
Led by little Donald Dunkel-
berger the Bison golf team has
been burning up the links. They
have won every dual meet so far
this year by overwhelming scores.
Also playing brilliant golf,
Wayne Davis, lanky number two
man, “Monk” Watkins, and Ben
Cooper have lost only a few
points to some of the better golf
teams of the state.
In dual meets thus far, the
Bison golf team has defeated
Greensboro to , Gray of Win
ston-Salem 16 1-2 to 1 1-2 and
18 to 0, Burlington 15 to 3.
With a total of six himdred and
ten, the Bison finished third in
the annual state meet held at
Chapel Hill on April 22. Finish
ing ahead of the local team were
Raleigh with six hundred and
five and Charlotte with six hun
dred and six.
The play for individual honors
was as spirited as was the team
play. Tommy Reaves of Raleigh
nosed out Dunkelberger for first
place with a brilliant total of one
hundred and thirty-eight. Com
ing in just behind Reaves and
Dunkelberger was Davis with a
hxmdred and forty-seven and
Watkins with a hundred-forty-
nine.
There are seven dual meets
left on the schedule this season.
These are:

Girls Intramural
Progress Rapidly
Coach Stanly Johnson of the
invading nine will probably start
his ace right-hander. Skinny
Brown, who in one previous start
against the locals twirled a three-
hit shut-out while Coach Tony
Simeon will retaliate by sending
Jimmy Foxworth to the rubber.
Should the Bison accomplish
the unexpected by downing
Greensboro this afternoon. Gate
City championship hopes would
take a decided fall, as the Whir-
hes are now locked in a first place
tie with Gastonia’s diamond
squad.
Greensboro, however, is odds-
on favorite to again top Coach
Simeon’s outfit, and should be a
hard aggregation to stop as the
pennant race reaches the home
stretch.
Both teams will be in top con
dition for the contest today, and
lineups will include all regulars.
Only absentee from the previous
contest. Gate City Outfielder
Garland Wolfe, out with foot in
juries, will be back in condition
for the big game.
