Page 12 THE LEXHIPEP May 26, 1950 Yellow Jacket Golfers Finish Sixth In State Meet Jacket Baseballers Win Behind Carter ( TIME OUT! Jim Redwine FAREWELL This column made its inaugural appearance in the September, 1947, issue of the LEXHIPEP with a by-line by Doug Graver, sports editor at that time. Since this appearance, three years ago, the TIME OUT corner has anchored a permanent corner on the sports rag—thrown together by yours truly. Looking back over these years, eighteen columns, and thousands of words, he asks what good has it done—few of you, probably, read it. In this remi niscence he discovered that he has done a lot of griping, viz. We Need a ‘Y’,” “Why Didn’t Bobby Shy tie Make All-State?” “StatesvUle Gets Backdoor Championship” (incidentally we did beat Scoop to this scoop, by about one year), “Statesville Record Pans Carter,” et cetera. But then he has done a little praising also; “Bullet Billy Eanes Third Year Repeater on All-State,” “Jacket Basketeers Cop Conference,” “Carter All-American,” and other “Odds and Ends.” Put these all together and you havi3 two years of journalism via the LEXHIPEP. Seriously we have enjoyed — shall we say — “shooting the breeze” by route of this cornier; we wish jthat we would have spent a little , more time and effort of it. And though it is immate rial to a good journalism grade, we hope you enjoyed it. Next year Herbert Sink heads the sports, department; he will be assisted by Hayden Hooper. Maybe through them you will get a bigger and better Time Out column—an honest to goodness newspaper column! We hope so. LEFTOVERS Harold “The Ace” Carter will probably be as surprised as you are as to which college will receive his—er—uh services. Shall we say he’s “confoosed, but amoosed”? Incidentally, he knows all of “Peahead’s latest jokes. Quotes: Richard “Skin” Smith—“I’m going to have a good year if I have to break a leg.” Note: Richard’s leg is reported “healing rapidly.” Seriously, Richard had a really tough break when a broken leg placed him on Coach Jimmy Maus’ inactive list. He was tops in the high school mound corps throughout the state. * * * We’ve searched high and low, but we can’t find one good reason for holding the state’ high school golf tourna ment in High Point. Surely there is at least one—we’re still searching. • » * It’s strictly corn, but here’s how the story goes: “Harold Carter and a husky looking kid from the Pennsylvania coal mines walked into a certain coach’s office. Jimmy Kuchepowskivith, the tackle from Pennsylvania, swag gers up to the coach and says, “My name’s Jimmy: I’ll take what the sanity Code will gimme.’ Harold (reportedly) didn’t blink an eye, ‘I’m Carter—and smarter’!” • * * Ahem! • • • Well, “All’s Well That Ends—” * * Reynolds Golfers Take Lexington; Locals Set For State Meet The visiting Reynolds High School golf team proved to be too much for the locals, who lost this one 11% to 6%. Walser was low man for the match with a 79, but that was not good enough to put Lexington in the win column. Other scores were: Walser (L) over Corell (W) 2% to %; Sapp (W) over White (L) 3 to 0; best ball (W) over (L) 2 to 1. Bradley (W) over Bafiford (L) 2 to 1; Jones (W) over Shytle (L) 2 to 1; best ball (W) over (L) 2 to 1. Lexington’s next match is the State Tournament at High Point on the 15th and 16th of May. Lexington Loses To Greensboro Golfers Lexington played fine golf in to day’s battle with Greensboro, but was beaten by a fine Greensboro class AA team, which is the probable State champions. Dunlop White was low man for Lex ington with a 78, but that could not produce a win for the Lexington links- men, who lost this one 11 to 7. Other scores were: Smith (G) over White 2% to %; tie, Walser (L) 1% to Clendenlng (G) 1%; best ball (G) 2 to 1. Bradley (G) over Bafford 2 to 1; Roberts (G) tie Shytle (L) 1% to 1%; bes tball (G) tie (L) 1% to 1%. April 25 — 'The news that Richard “Skin” Smith would see no more ac tion on the mound for the Yellow Jackets this year apparently didn’t disillusion them too much. The “ace chunker” sustained a fractured leg in the Kannapolis game and reportedly will see no more s3rvice this year. Harold Carter took charge of the mound duties and allowed only 8 hits. Don Leonard, chubby slugger in the Jackets’ outfield, led the Jackets’ hit ting with three for four. Connell led the visitors with two for four. Lexington—7 McCrary . Lohr Carter Crow Everhart .

Fifteen-year-old Bobby Sisk cap tured individual honors as he carded a 76-72—148 in the 36-hole, par 70, Emerywood course near High Point. Last week the “little wonder” captured the Carolina Scholastic Tournament in Greenville, S. C. Llittle Dunlop White, Lexington’s little man with a big stick, carded a 77-80—157 to lead the local aggrega tion. Gaither Walser had an 85-82— 167, Joe Bafford an 85-82—167, and Bobby Shytle an 88-88—176. Teh Central High School Wildcats captured team honors with a 608- stroke totai, a 76 average per man.

Methodists’ Red Smith Drops Jackets, 4-3 Red Head Wins Own Game In Tenth May 10—A pitching duel between Lexington’s Nookie McCrary and Chil dren’s Home’s Red Smith ended dra matically here in Winston-Salem as the famous “Red Head” poked out a single in the top half of the tenth inning to score his team mate O. T. Williams. ’The 3-3 deadlock at the end of the regular period was a result of tire less pitching by both chunkers. Harold Carter led the Jackets at the plate with two hits, while the versatile Mr. Smith led in that diepartment for the Methodists. Lexington Stomps Salisbury 14^ to 3i Lexington smothered Salisbury by taking a win over the Class AA rivals over at Salisbury Country Club. Walser was low man for the day with 77.
