For Season
By LESLIE TIMMS
Spring Sports Begin
With the coming of warm and sunny weather the spring sports
program has gotten under way. All of the athletic teams have
h^en hampered by the rainy weather which has prevailed during
the first weeks of spring. Coach Henderson’s baseballers were
forced to open the season with only thee days of practice out
of doors, the track team only had about five days to practice in
for their first meet. In view of this, all of the athletic teams
f^ve shown much promise for the remainder of the season as
they have compiled a good record despite the lack of practice.
Coach Henderson’s squad has six men returning from last
season, including three lettermen. The returnees are letterman
pitcher Fick Guin, and pitchers Charles Boone and Charles Ram
ify. lettermen infielders Bob Walker and Ed Morton, and out
fielder Harry Caddell. Freshman help and how several sopho-
toores come through will be the key to a good season for the squad.
One of the bright spots on the team has been catcher Gene
Cewis of Marion, just out of the Army. While in high school
f-ewis caught Billy Joe Davidson, who received a $125,000 bonus
jor signing with the Cleveland Indians several years back. Lewis
IS an excellent handler of pitchers and is one of the leading
flitters on the squad. At first base, sophomore Wakefield Bryson
®f Asheville has shown that he is a good fielder and can also
^it with consistency. At second base is Morton who teams with
Walker to form a letterman keystone combination. Walker, who
I^ayed third base last season, has been switched to short. At
fhe hot corner is another sophomore, Larry Fox. Fox is a good
lelder and is a long ball hitter.

s and view . ^he outfield is strong both offensively and defensively, with
i^shmen Jay Wallin in left, Mac Thacker in center and soph
