This was the Ta EvAII AAA Dor Ar^ I ^ighth consecutive victory for the III CVwll AAA KvvUli {Whirlie linkmen this year. Their ! season’s record is unmarred by a Greensboro Whirlies defeated | defeat, anci the medalist honors in the Burlington Bulldogs with a 4-1 ' every contest has gone to some By Jerry Farber Vic Seixas and Tony Trabert have nothing on Eugene and Sam LeBauer. Well, almost nothing, anyway. Greensboro High School can boast of having it’s own duo combine resembling the aforemen tioned stars—they are the afore mentioned LeBauer brothers. Being active in school affairs, Eugene and Sam have managed to participate on GHS tennis teams for the last three years. They played varsity tennis while hi the ninth grade at Aycock Junior High School. The LeBauer brothers won-lost records are ironic. Over a span of three seasons, each of them has recorded the identical number of wins, and same npmber of losses. Eugene has won 35 matches while losing only three. Sam, too, has recorded 35 victories,' and has come home with only three losses. A pretty good record, you could call it! If it were up to the LeBauer boys, there would only be one sea son in the year—tennis. During the week-days, you can find them practicing with the team, usually at the stadium courts. But come the week-end, they do their swat ting and sweating at “our home courts—Greensboro Country Club.” And that’s where you’re most like ly to, see them at their “zaniest.” Zany describes them adequately. Sam has a mixed personality, half Jerry Lewis, one fourth Larry Storch, and one fourth Vic Seixas. Eugene, on the other hand, has qualities of Mickey Spillane, Tony Trabert, and Bernard Baruch. Put them together and what do you think you have—^two fine tennis players. Joking aside, it is said that (and this writer has no doubts) Bobo and Samboare are two of the best tennis players ever to play on a Greensboro High tennis team. Their singles records speak for themselves, and their doubles play-, ing is just as good, if not a slight bit better. Both are active Key (Slubbers Both served on the Student Coun cil for two years. Eugene is a mem ber of GHS’s heralded band and orchestra outfits. He is not to be outhonored by his swatting co hort, Sam, who plays in the or chestra, and is also a marshall. The LeBauer twins attend Temple Em manuel. With an active slate like that confronting them, you would hard ly think that time for hobbies would be available. However, a great deal of photography is- in cluded in the brothers’ daily rou tine, and they both have become quite accomplished cameramen. Ortnothology, which is, to put it mildly, the study of birds, takes up still more of their time . . . what a routine . . . “Okay, guys, bring on Austral- victory as Wilson Carruther§ re placed Banks Ritchie on the mound in the seventh on April 29. Righthanded .Carruthers replaced Ritchie with one run in, two men on base, and one out. Greensboro racked up enough runs in the second to make things comfortable with the Whirlies com ing home twice in that inning and once in the fifth. This victory shoved the Whirlies conference record to an even 4-4, with their overall record 6-5. Bur lington suffered its seventh straight defeat with no winsi In the second inning, catcher Tommy Nance walked out and stole second, then scored on Owen Johnson’s double to left field. Johnson came in when Henry Trox- ler miscued Bill Mock’s grounder to third gave the Whirlies a 2-0 lead. Dave Thompson made first on another Burlington error, advanc ed to second on the infielder out, and scored on Mock’s single in the fourth. In the fifth Paul Sams w’alked, moved up on an infield out, and came home when the Burlington catcher threw wild on Nance’s tap. In the seventh with Greensboro ahead 4-0, Bristow of Burlington took a double. Earl Brogden walk ed and Bucky* Talley singled to j send Bristow in for Burlington’s i only run. ^ Then, Carruthers took the mound 1 for Greensboro and went about I the business of striking out Lon j Hanford and Eddie Hughes to end - the game , member of the Whirlie squad. Ed Morrissett took the medalist honors.with a score of 71 which is even par on the Starmount Forest Country Club course. The Star- mount Club is-the home-course for the Whirlies, and many of the golf team participants are members of it. This gives them the first hand knowledge of all the tricks of the course. Ed Sweetman, who usually plays in the number one position on the team, has stroked his way to six of the eight medalist honors. The other two medalist honors went to Ed Morrissett. All six of the Whirlie linkmen obtained wins over the Salisbury duffers. The results were: Ed Sweetman (G’boro.) over Brady 3- 0; Gene Smith (G’boro.) over Isen- hour 3-0. The best ball went to Greensboro, 3-0. R. B. Arthur (G’boro.) defeated Peeler 3-0; Ed Morrissett (G’boro.) over Sparks 3-0. Greensboro received the best ball, .3-0. Jack Reeves (G’boro.) over C. Overman 3-0; Bradley An derson (G’boro.) defeated J. Over man 3-0; and Greensboro won best bal, 3-0. Pilot Life Insurance Co. GREENSBORO DRUG COMPANY C. M. FORDHAM DEWEY FARRELL 230 W.
