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. in°the firs' Outer Garden Is Strong s and view . ^he outfield is strong both offensively and defensively, with i^shmen Jay Wallin in left, Mac Thacker in center and soph f^arry Caddell in right. Caddell has been the leading hitter on fie squad throughout the first two games as he maintains a .400 ^''erage. He makes this one of the strongest spots on the team r» b^ ^ good defensive player. Thacker, who hit over .500 in ent too soon I school, should prove one of the hitting threats of the team etore the season is over.
