The sport editor will continue
the series of all star Weaver
teams. The baseball team will
be from l’920-27. There have
been teams of various kinds
since Hoke Morrow’s 1889 team.
While Dr. Gill says he played
before then some time we will
pick the twentieth century team,
but not yet. My outfield will be
composed of Roy “Chick” Jones,
one of the gamest athletes who'
ever played here. Jones was also
a catcher and a pitcher, a steady
and consistent batter. Goebel
the 1925-26 centerfielder, a fly
hawk and a .300 hitter, a flash
on the bases. Chick Miller will
be in right; a hard hitter and a
first baseman of quality, but is
e^ged into the outfield, but
cannot be left off our team,
also a good pitcher. On
first is the Chattanooga
left hander, Robert Hipps,
well named “Buster,” a
^ fielder and hitter. There
' has never been his supe
rior here; he can pitch also.
Ty West, the perennial
second baseman, is the
unquestioned choice; a
great fielder and a long
distance hitter is “Ty.”
John J. Gilbert, the pride
of Coolemee, and all state
shortstop is our fliort
fielder, a good hitter in the
pinches and a finished field
er. Fred Alexander, a third
baseman who can cover his
share of the territorv and
a hard hitter. C. A.'Ken
dall M'ill be one of the
catchers; a good thrower
and a smart catcher. Neil
Kuykendahl is the other
catcher, one of the smart
est catchers in the state;
he wears a Wake Forest
W this year. He is a good
hitter and has a strong
arm. He would be an ac
ceptable short stop. The
pitchers will be “Cis” Wea
ver, the great southpaw of
’20-’21 and he had a lot of
stuff a%i a i-ubber arm, a
.400 . hitter and a handy maii'aiii^
where. Kenneth Vinson, the ace
of this year’s staff, a strike-out
king and a hard hitter, will be
one of our best men and Urban
Mundy, a second choice for work
and smart pitcher could play any
where and hit hard. Honorable
mentions would go to Hartley
’27, Brittain ‘26-’27, Garrison ’24
Hogan ’26, Whicker ’26, Vance
’23-’24, Newhn ’24, White ’23,
Lyda ’25-’26, Easterly ’26.
WEAVER CBLLE6E ERAMATKS j"
The plays given at Weaver
College furnished one of the
most interesting phases of col
lege life. They are not only
valuable for their entertainment,
but they are also worthwhile
dramas. The day on which a
Weaver College play is to be pre
sented is a red letter day for
Weaverville. The tovmsfolk are
loyal supporters of all college ac
tivities and all the college stu
dents are eager to see their
friends perform. Those boys and
girls who take parts in the plays
are always enthusiastic over
their performances. The col
lege is extremely fortunate in
having Miss Lucile Smith and
Mrs. C. H. Trowbridge as tha
directors of the plays.
There are four plays given an-
nually on the campus, and some
times the plays are taken to
nearby towns under the auspices
of the clubs in that place. The
plays put on during the last year
were “Green Stockings,” pre
sented by the Delphian and
Mnemosynean literary societies';
“The Touchdown” by the Clio-
sophic and Euterpian literarv
societies; “Thank You,” by the
Epworth League; and “The
Goose Hangs High,” by the Se
nior Class of ’27.”
