Rose Rayenel, on the right an d Doug Orr are the current lead ers of the Whirlie tennis team coached by Sam Shugart. Bose is playing in the number one spot, while ^Doug holds the second posiUon. Racqueteers Seek State Championship This Year ‘We definitely intend to win cent of the points made in tennis the state championship,” so says the Whirlie tennis Coach Sam Shugart. Coach Shugart has the pleasant task of rounding into shape a tennis team built around seven returnees from last year’s unde feated squad. The team has been practicing for about three weeks. Their first match was Wednesday with the University of North Carolina freshmen. There are 12 boys aspiring for the top positions on the squad headed by Bose Ravenel and Doug are made on mistakes. The aim of the coaching staff is to cut down on the boys’ mistakes. “If we can cut our mistakes to a minimum, we will win most of our matches,” maintains Coach Shu gart. The other 25 per cent of the points made are made on place ments. These are when a player hits the ball so that his opponent cannot reach it. The schedule for the tennis team includes 12 matches. High lights of this schedule are match es against the Duke University Senior High’s track team defeat ed High Point here last Thursday by the score of 84-29. While doing so, the Whirlies took 10 of 13 fU'st places. It was Lou Glascock, also a football headliner in the fall, who paced the cinder squad. He won three first places. No other man on either team won more than one event. The highlight was Charlie Whedbee’s mile-run triumph. Aft er trailing the pace-setter Koonty of High Point, at one time, by as much as 30 yards, he displayed a burst of speed and power to win by a gap that was still widening at the finish line. Summary 120 high hurdles 1. Glascock (G) 2. Schenck (G) Orr. They are the number one and freshmen and the UNC freshmen, two men.

There is a battle royal being waged for the sixth and final position. It is, as Coach Shugart said, “wide open.” In the running for this spot are Rick Aderhold, Phil Cau sey, Paul Robinson ,and Chip Dur ham. The netmen will rely on overall team balance for victory. The team is so well balanced that the num ber six man is capable of beating the niunber one man on any given afternoon. The man who now holds the number one spot does not have it easy. He is not assur ed of holding this position, for, in Coach Shugart’s system, the man who looks best in practice will play in the matches. The tennis boys have played two practice matches with the Guilford College netmen. They defeated the collegians, shutting them out both times.

Carruthers Turns In No-Hit, No-Run Game For Conference Win Wilson Carruthers, ace Whirlie pitcher, turned in a fine no-hit, no-run performance by beating Charlotte Central 5-0 here April 3. Carruthers retired 16 men by the strike-out route in the Whir- lies’ first conference game of the season. “Woody” made at least two Wildcats “bite the diist” in each inning and struck out the side in the third and seventh frames. Carruthers exercised al most perfect control as he issued only two “Annie Oaklies.” Carruthers’ feat was quite re markable in that he had pitched the previous Saturday against Cranbrook Academy. He won that game 3-0, pitching 3-hit ball and striking out 10. Larry Gill had been scheduled to appear on the mound for the Whirlies, but he I was at home battling a bronchit is bug. The Whirlies, although they garnered only five hits, were aid ed by 4 Charlotte miscues afield. Catcher Owen Johnson drove in one run on a sharp single to life in the first inning, and a second run was driven in by right- fielder Ernie Pruitt on a sacrifice. Second-baseman Benny Aber nathy drove across two tallies in the third with a looping single to left. Paul Sams, shortstop, and Owen Johnson scored on this hit after reaching base on an error and being hit by a pitched ball. The final run was scored in the sixth after a walk to leadoff man Jay Brame and a double to left- center by . third-baseman Benny McKee, Owen Johnson delivered the run-scoring blow as he ground ed out to second base and Brame scored.
