Outlook For Baseball
Bright, Says Johnson
Although the first week of base
ball practice brought forebodings as
to the success of Stanley Johnson’s
team this year, the second week
brouglit a new host of boys seek
ing i)ositions on the Whirlwind
nine, which has won the state
chani|)ionship several times during
the past years.
During the initial seven-day pe
riod only 12 boys reported for
drills, not enough for a squad even
if each youlli was capable of duty
on the club. However, as the first
ses.sion of spring grid workouts
ended, the gridsters turned up on
the athletic field for baseball.
Therefore, with boys like Fi’ed
Albright, Tom Aydelette, Hob Mc
Farland, Bennett Newell, Garland
AVolfe, Harold Brown, Willard
Hobbs and others. Coach Johnson
believes that the future of his dia
mond squad is much brighter.

Sam Byrd, Former Baseball Satellite,
Wins G. G. O. With Birdie Finish
In a finish as exciting as a ninth
inning homer with the bases full, Sam
Byrd of Ardmore, I’a., former New
York A’ankee star, who won fame as
an understnd.v to the famous Babe
Ruth, burnt up the last nine holes of
the Starmonnt Forest conntr.v club to
annex the tiflh annual Greater Greens
boro Open .golf' tournament, with a five
under par 27!), last week. B.vrd's last
round sub-par 08 was .good to win for
him the .81.000 first prize.
Ben Hogan, the mighty mite repre-
sentin.g Hershey, Fa., copped second
prize mone.v, after coming in with play
that for a time looked .good enough to
win, along with Lloyd AIan,gruni, tour

George L. Sandvig Chosen
New V. T. A. President
George Sandvig, local occui>jxtional
director, was elected president of the
State A’ocational Teacher’s association
at the state-wide teachers convention
in Raleigh, March 20. This associa
tion lists all the agricultural, home
economics, trade and industrial educa
tional instructors from North Carolina
in its memhership.
Featured as special speaker of the
convention. Dr. Harry A. Gaeger of
the Tuiited States office of education,
AV;ishington, 1). C., discussed vocational
guidance in the high schools.
Red Gross Students
Visit Local Gafeteria
“Red Cross nutrition students, 30 in
nundxer, visited the .school cafeteria for
both lunch periods last week to see
what foods high school students need,’'
announced Miss Elizabeth Harvell,
school dietitian, Alarcli 24.
The students of the class helped pre
pare the lunches and for three days
sent two students to watch the lunch
periods. In case of an emergency these
women will help the .school.
having 2Sl's. I’ocketing third prize
mone.y with 2S2's were “Lord” Byron
Nelson, Toledo, '41 Greater Greensboro
Open champ, and Clayton Heafner, of
Charlotte, the former having led at the
three-piarter mark with 208.
Snead Deadlocked
“.Slammin" Sanim.v Snead, the local
gallery favorite, and .liinmy Thomson,
half-way leader with Byrd, were dead
locked for fifth pliice with totals of
285, while Rod AInnday, the “put-’em-
anyway” .golfer who had a first roimd
GO, was down the list with 286.
Commenting on his victory, the first
in major tourney competition, Byrd
stated, “I'm happy to win my first
tournament here in Greensboro, for
this is really one of the best on the
circuit.”
Incidentally, this record perpetuates
the jinx that has prevented any golfer
from winning the Greater Open twice.
After over two weeks of intensive
training and practice Coach Stanley
(Jahbo) Johnson will send his AA’hirl-
wind baseball team into its first game
Tuesday afternoon on the local high
school diamond against the strong High
Boint nine.
No explanation is needed for the
rivalry between the two schools', and
the pre-action predictions place the two
teams close to the top of the AA’esterii
conference. Although High Point has
already seen action in preliminary
.games, the contest will be the first for
the Gate City .sxpiad.
Meet Charlotte, Reynolds
The AA’hiiiwinds will next meet the-
diamond sxpiad from Charlotte, on the
Queen City held on the following Fri-
da.v afternoon. This i.s the fir.st game
between the two teams in the past few
.vears as Charlotte has been out of the
conference. The next home game for
Greensboro occurs Tuesday, April 14,
when Reynolds’ high of AA’inston-Salein
is entertained.
Another of the conference's outstand
ing teams will be encountered when the
j Johnsonltes travel to Burlington for a
game April 17.
