PAGE FOUR HIGH LIFE SPORTS G. H. S. PILLKNOGKERS WIN FIRST GAME ON ROAD Katey did! Who did? Score Ten to Five The boys’ varsity nine again proved its all conquering power when it handed the little end of a 10 to 5 socre to Sanford highs Thursday, March 29. The well drilled Sanford team waged a creditable battle and suc ceeded in holding the locals down to the minimum. Chears, Oliver and Palmer for Sanford demon strated their well known swift fliers for the benefit of many admiring spectators and to the detriment of our own, wonder team. “Buster” Swift, starring for G. H. S., held the enemy to the zero mark for six consecutive innings. He then stepped off the slab in favor of Weiland Hill, remarkable moundsman for a first year’s man. Burroughs supplanted Hill in this line and twisted the game to the finish in excellent style. John Sykes, manager of the pur ple and gold, added to the already honorable record by his super-hu man performance behind the bat. He was ably seconded by “Willie” Greene at short and Norman Block at first base. Harrison holding down the initial sack showed the pure gold stuff. Swift piled up the score by his smashing blows to the pill, which he drove over the fence in the sixth round for a leisurely walk around the diamond. Greene back ed him up by his numerous well placed bingles. The Score R.H.E. Greensboro 320 102 020 10 7 3 Sanford 000 000 131 5 7 3 Batteries: Swift, Hill, Burroughs, and Sykes; Chears, Oliver, and Pal mer. We did! Who can? BOYS’ TENNIS Prospects are good for a fine ten nis team this spring, according to coach Lefler. The members of the squad have been practicing for the last two weeks at the courts of the country club and the Y. M. C. A. Win. Scott, Clarence Scott, Clement Penn, and Thomas King, all mem bers of the team last fall, are showing much form, and are ex pected to show up well at Chapel Hill. This spring a number of good matches have been engaged for the boys’ tennis team, the foremost, of course, will be at Chapel Hill. The four players entering the champion' ship series there will probably re ceive their letters. —M. Irvin. We can! Whippoorwill! Who will? We will! Win the baseball Champion ship ! G. H. S.

Greensboro high school lost its fii’i'l game to Trinity High School lads with a s- ore of 14 to 7. Mac intosh and Hill were on the firing line for the locals. Although the game was lost, Mr. Phillips was not in the least bit disappointed baseball and with more good coach- for the team showed promise of real ing is expected to develop into a state championship team. —Buster Swift. ATHLETICS FOR LASSIES The girls have an unusually full program for this spring in then- athletics. The field day, which has been given annually for the past three years, is the headlight of the girls’ program. All the classes are working hard with theii respective coaches and are striving to come out on top. Swimming is also a drawing card and three meets have already been held. Lois Dobson, though only a freshman, is our star in this line. Baseball and volleyball are also attracting much attention among the girls and the teams are beginninj their practices. “Horseshoes” have recently been added as a sport for girls—The girls not playing urge the players to control their shoes better. These are some of the activities in which the girls are occupied. The girls are begged to come out and be faithful in the practices throughout the season. —Flax McAlister. Hurrah for the G. H. S. baseball team! They defeated the Reidsville high school team, Wednesday af ternoon, at Cone Park, by a score of 5 to 0. It was about five o’clock when the Reidsville team arrived so the game was limited to seven innings. The team was late on account of automobile trouble. Miss Jennie Lind Penn, sponsor of the team, started them off by pitching a ball to “Buster” Swift, pitcher. Before the Reidsville team had had time to get warmed up the Greensboro Highs had made four runs. After that bad start the visitors fought nobly and well but to no avail, they did not amount to much when it came to driving the ball into safe territory. ‘Buster” Swift demonstrated his wonderful pitching and “Willie” Greene made some splendid stops. The fifth and final Greensboro run was made in the sixth inning. The pitching of Swift, also of Metier, after the first, the fielding of Greene and a swift running catch in left by Link were the features. All hits were one-timers.

If they do not we cannot explain why but we can almost say they haven’t been at school for the last six weeks. Even the girls have taken up this wonderful game. There may be some oldtimers on the boys’ side but from latest views on the girls’ side we will have to admit there are some oldtimers just warming up. The girlh have been a tittle bit slow in starting but now that they have, we feel sure there will be a few interesting games between the two members of the school and we also know that in the Girls’ Field Day there will be contests bebtween the classes. The girls are holding for surprise some of their ability of ringers in barn yard golf.
