April 17, 1942 HIGH LIFE Page Five I Quill and Scroll Selects Sportsman's Students Eligible lor Club Holiday By EARLE HOLLIDAY WITH THE 1942 BASEBALL season now well under way, and successfully, too, for Greensboro, we find that the local squad, under the able coaching of Stanley (Jabbo) Johnson, who has made a habit of turning out good diamond teams, has already gained a reputation in the Western conference. The nine, which opened the season with a decisive trouncing of High Point’s highly praised squad, is being set up by the opposing teams as the team to beat. However, the season is still very, very young, and anything can happen from here on out, but you can be sure that the Johnsonites will be cut there slugging all the way. Incidentally, you readers who have been letting down practically all the athletic teams thus far this season, now have the last chance to redeem ourselves. If you will just go out to one of our home games, there is no doubt that you will want to return after that. In preparation for the spring initia tion program, scheduled for May 19, members of the Quill and Scroll society began selecting new candidates re cently from the list of eligible stu dents submitted by English teachers. The students selected will be asked to send several original pieces of their creative or journalistic work to Edward Nell, secretary of the national society, who will pass judgment on the mate rial. Point Golfers Trounce Whirlwind Linksmen, 15-3 Speaking of the team and its games, this year in practically all of them a new star his risen out of the heap. Wallace (Dakey) Fulton started the year off right in the High Point game by slamming out a homer and estab lishing himself on third base. The next game went to lanky Willard Hobbs, a holdover on first base, who showed that he wielded a wicked bat at the plate. Congratulations to you two and all the others who have been out there playing heads-up ball all season. Readers, don't forget the important game the Whirlwinds have this after noon on the local diamond at 4 o'clock. ONE OF GREENSBORO'S former athletes, Ternoii (Sheepie) Lamb, now at Camp Stewart, Georgia, has been asked by the army team to report for baseball. The coach got wind of Lamb’s ability to perform on the diamond and wants the former third baseman at Greensl)oro high to play ball with the camp nine. Greensboro,Burlington Tied In Western Loop With a pair of wins apiece, the Greensboro Purple tYhirlwinds and the Burlington diamondeers are now dead locked in the race for Western confer ence laurels. • The diamond aggregation from Sen ior high has been successful in both of its conference games so far this season, triumphing over R. J. Reynolds high of 4Vinston-Salem Tuesday and High Point's Black Bison, April 7. The AVhlrlles were also victorious over the Silver Streaks from Charlotte in a non-conference tilt played April 10. In like fashion the diamond stars of Burlington have taken their first two conference encounters, trimming the Bison of High Point and the sluggers from Salisbury. Wilmington Lending Eastern In the Eastern conference, AVilming- ton has taken .sole possession of first place with one win and no set-backs. However, Rocky Mount, Raleigh and AVilsoii a,re all bound together in a three-way tie for second place. Class A standings are : Western Team AA'on Lost Pet.
