hits off both of them. Lapp lasted un
til the fifth when Coach Marlette sent
in Smith to try to check Greensboro’s
onslaught and succeeded in holding the

members of the track squad running
in front of Gardner and confusing him
(the cinder track runs through right
field).
In the first inning Wyrick led off
with a triple, but he could not be
brought in. Turner opened up the
works in the second with a short single
to right held. Cox tripled and Turner
came in. Again the team could not
bring the man in. Two more came in

Trail Winners
LOSE AFTER STRUGGLE
Held at Guilford April 9 — 42 to 36
Score—Meet Held as Part of
High School Day
Charlotte High won the State High
School track meet, piling up 45 points,
Greensboro High won second with 20
points, Asheville third, with 13 points,
and Wilmington, fourth, with 11 points.
Seven state records were shattered,
Neiman, of Charlotte, being responsible
for two, the broad .iump and pole vault.
Reid, also of Charlotte, raised the high
jump. Edmundson, of Roanoke Rapids
nearly threw the javelin away, break
ing the former record by ten feet.
Theron Brown, of G. LI. S., came with
in three feet of the Southern Collegiate
record when he hurled the discus 124
feet, 1 1-2 inches. Captain Clarence
Phoenix lowered the record for the
half mile run after he had come within
three seconds of the record for the mile
run. The half mile drew the stands
to their feet for the whole race. Phoe
nix, of Greensboro, and Carbine, of
Charlotte, led the field by several yards.
Carbine was pushing Phoenix as he
broke the tape, being just about a foot
behind. In the mile run no one even
came near Phoenix after the first lap.
It was a guess as to how big the lead
would be.
The Asheville relay team went into
the race with the determination to
make a new state record and they did
it. Each man steadily increased the
lead and Asheville came in far ahead
of anyone else.
Besides taking first in the discus,
Theron Brown took second in the shot
and third in the javelin, accounting for
ten points altogether.

Have Yet Been Made

pared at the Memorial Stadium, and D.
O. Fish, the landscape architect, stated
that probably two courts would be
ready for play by the week-end.
The ground has been rolled in the
first section of the four courts but they
need additional rolling. This work can
be accomplished this week if fair
weather prevails. Posts for the nets
have been erected, but all the nets have
not arrived.
The officials are waiting to see with
what popularity the four courts meet
before rushing work on the others.
No regulations governing the courts
have been made, but they will be
drawn up at an early date. No fee is
expected to be charged for the use of
the courts, and whoever arrives first
will have the privilege of playing.
The fifth annual track meet between
