TRACK TEAM TO GO
TO DAVIDSON MEET
Abernethy, Norman, Goodwin,
and Gunter Show Up
Well in Time Trials.
LAMBETH IS MADE COACH
The Greensboro High track prospects
have been brightened somewhat with
the discovery of new material. The re
turn of only four letter men, of whom
none were distance and weight men, was
expected to handicap the team. How
ever, Jack Norman, one of the letter
men, has discovered that he can throw
a discus around a hundred and twenty
feet, which is considered good in high
school circles. Abernnethy is showing
much improvement from last year in the
high jump. Bradley is showing up well
in the middle distances, while Gregory,
Martin and Douglas look good in the
mile. Captain “Red” Goodwin, of
course, is showing his old time form in
the dashes. He and Jack Brown are get
ting good distance with the javelin.
Due to the fact that Coach Belding
is coaching spring football, Mark Lam
beth of Central Junior High has been
appointed coach. He coached the team
which won the state championship in
1927.
The inter-squad meet was not held as
scheduled, but time trials were taken
instead. Saturday the team is going to
Davidson to compete in the annual in
vitation meet. Over thirty high schools
have been invited. This is usually con-
sidereds on the best feats of the sea
son.
In the time trials Goodwin and Gunter
turned in good times in 100 and 220.
Nicholson and Kenneriey, a new man,
looked good in 'the hurdles. Bradley
and Knight ran a slow quarter, but Bob
Martin ran the half in 2:18. Gregory
won the mile in five minutes flat, which
is faster than the time which won at
Davidson last year. Abernethy was off
form in the high jump and went only
five feet, two inches. Sockwell went
five feet, one. The weight men and
vaulters worked on form.
BE WORTHWHILE GIRLS
STAGE HIKE TONIGHT
Miss Lena Strawbridge and Miss Mary
Paris to Accompany Them to
- “Sleepy Hollow.”
The hike will soon be here, ^
So pack up your kit,
And give a hearty big cheer.
The Be Worthwhile Girl Reserves will
leave the Y. W. C. A. this afternoon for
their jaunt to Sleepy Hollow, where
they ■will spend the night under the
chaperonage of Miss Lena Strawbridge,
the director, and Miss Mary Paris, the
adviser of the Be Worthwhile club. The
girls will carry their own supper and
blankets. They will return to Greens
boro early Saturday morning.
They have long been planning an
overnight hike, but, as it 'happens, each
time something has prevented their go
ing. The first time they planned one, a
number of girls couldn’t, thus they had
to postpone it. The second time, they
really were going, but on Friday, the
set date, it just poured rain, and they
couldn’t go.
Sport Sparkles
With the addition of golf and swim
ming, we will have five sports at school
this spring. This mean that every boy
in high school will be able to enter
something.
The course at Charlotte must have
been hard for our golfers. Their score
were way above their average game.
They will meet them again tomorrow
at the Country Club. Let’s ail go out
and watch the matches. Remember to be
careful not to talk or annoy any of
the players while he is in the act of
making a shot.
Winston-Salem ^Yill open the local
swimmers’ schedule here next Friday.
The meet will be at the Y. - M. C. A.^,
pool, and the boys will need all the sup
port given them.
What about John Gunter beating
“Red” Goodwin, our captain, in the 100
and 220 Saturday? Their event at Da
vidson will be watched with interest.
Abernethy in the high jump and
Norman in the discus throw, are show
ing hidden talent. Luck to them at
Davidson.
Where did Charles Shaffer get the
nickname “Ott” and “Red” Whitt,
“Goldenrod.”
“Bpnny” Wlmbish, who was a mem
ber of the swimming team some years
back, is assisting Mr. Routh in the
coaching of the swimming team.
An unusual number of boys are out
for tennis this spring. With the ma
terial Mr. Routh should turn out a
good team. The stadium courts will
be available April 1.
The thud of the pigskin and slap of
leather is being heard again. Heavy
equipment has been Issued and scrim
mages have begun. Spring football
should develop some dandy material
for next year’s squad.
By the way, it is probable that night
football will be played here next fall.
Also a game has been scheduled vj^’ith
Spartanburg, S. C., and it is liable that
Kingston, Pa., will be added to the
schedule.
Mark T. I/ambeth is now coaching
track while Mr. Beldliig is handling
spring football, tloach Lambeth coached
the 1927 state championship team.
The intra-mural baseball games that
Cpach Coltrane is sponsoring is a great
idea. It gives every boy out a chance
to play and may discover some good
material.
Jack Brown and Julius Ilorney will
assist Miss Brinkley with girls* track
this spring. They will have charge of
field events.
Do you suppose that girls can play
golf? We*!l have plenty of fun watch
ing them try, anyway.
CAPTAIN BELL PUSHES
PEANUT ON QUEER BET
Last Friday afternoon. Captain Hiram
Bell of. the high school 'wrestlers, en
tertained a number of students with a
very creditable performance of “goober”
pushing. This little act was the result
of a bet that was made last fall be
tween Bell, captain of the wrestlers, and
John Moore, captain of the boxers. The
conditions of the bet were: that'the in
dividual who made' the. least number of
points in official competition for the en
tire boxing and wrestling season, should
push a peanut( with his nose) down the
front walk of the high school.
Unfortunately for Captain Bell, he
lost to Captain Moore by a slight mar
gin. Immediately aftgr chapel Friday
afternoon, the loser kindly condescend
ed to fulfill his end of the bargain.
Much to the merriment of the onlookers,
the innocent little goober was shoved
on down the walk.

Captain Michaels Is Low Scorer
for Locals With
An 82.
G. H. S. IS HANDICAPPED
Newnham, Michaels, Carver and Ven
ning Win One Point
Each.
Last Frylay, March 14, at the Char
lotte Country Club, the Greensboro
High golf team lost its initial meet
with the Charlotte High team by the
score of 16 to 4.
The scoring was based on who won
the first nine, second nine and the
total eighteen. Between two players
it was possible for three points to be
won or lost.
Due to an unfamiliar course, hard
and very fast greens, the Greensboro
golfers were handicapped very much,
Newnham, No. 1 man of G. H. S.
dropped his three points to Laxton.
Michaels, No. 2 man, played an excel
lent game despite the new course. He
shot an 82, for the low score of G. H. S.,
and he also won one point from Mc-
Canless. Carver, No. 3 of G. H. S.
won one point from Boyles. Abernethy,
No. 4 man playing Storm, who was low
for the meet with 80, lost three points
to him. Bill Venning, No. 5 of G. H. S.
won one point from Ham of Charlotte,
dropped one and tied the eighteen.
