Now that spring has arrived in full
force, the suhje-t of golf and golfers
a pears with (consistency on the lips of
Creenshoro high students, and when
the school’s team is discussed, the
names of Ford Little. Lowrey Stafford,
.Tohn Lowdermilk, Bill Taylor and Dec
atur Cunningham come up automati
cally.
The first three of thesei are hold-overs
from last year’s great squad, which
rang up an impressive string of vie-
although players like Roger INlcWauxTi..
Charlie Teague and Glenn McCall, are
missing from the roster, form the nu
cleus of Coach A. P. Routh’s team.
Course Now Available
For a time at the beginning of this
season, the local linksters found diffi
culty in obtaining a course on which
to ])ractice and hold matches, but the
problem now seems to be partially
solved. Most of the players are mem
bers of the Greensboro Country club,
and if arrangements can be made there
for non-members, the remainder of the
contests will probably be played there.
Although the school has never pro
duced any Hogans or Nelsons, it now
has a tine group of golfers who make
consistently good scores and who are
(piite capable of bringing many honors
in their game to the alma mater. Kach
of the boys possesses the skill, on good
days, to match any high school players
in the state, and will undoubtedly show
up well before the year is over.

Wins One Out of Two
As for the team’s progress up to the
present, it has won one mrt of two
matches, trouncing Reynolds, 8-1, and
t)owing in defeat before an excellent
team from Oak Ridge, 7-2.
The only defeat in the AYiiiston match
which was suffered by Emry Green
was compensated by his brilliant per
formance in the tussle with the much-
favored number one man of Oak Ridge.
He defeated the cadet, 6-.3 and 7-5, for
one of the only two victories in the
Oak Ridge encounter. The other vic
tory in this match was scored by Gar
