Gauldin. Summerfield pitcher, cer-
taijily belted the old horsehide — eh.
Whirlwinds?' He’s okay as a hurler,
too, . . . Bennett Xewell really hit that
bull against Summerfield last week—
he's a good fielder also. . . . Charlie
Teague, regular Whirdwind second
baseman, returned to school a couple
of days ago minus his tonsils. "How
you feel, Teeter?” was the flr.st ques
tion asked him. ‘"Okay,” was the an
swer, "only thing wrong with me is
that I'm hungry—they won't let me
have anything to eat.” Hurry up and
get back on the diamond, Charlie. . . .
If Coach .Tohnson expects to use I’er-
non I.amb in that Whirlwind lineup
this year, he had better keep him in
a padded cell until game time. Lamb
is just getting over a severe cut on
the right hand fingers, which occurred
while he was scuffling with Rene Burt-
ner, and also a badly sprained ankle,
obtained while sliding into a base in
practice — he missed the game with
Summerfield. . . . Wonder if Coach
.Tohnson has ever gotten Jim Wolfe
and Cotton Jlorris out of the habit of
jerking their arms just before they
hit the ball? . . . Coach Robert Jamie-
.son is the only person we know of who
can talk a person out of a ping-pong
game—if you don't believe he can do
it, just ask .Toe Winner—also ask him
how many sodas he has lost in the
past few days, . . , Ben Hogan can cer
tainly smack a golf ball—69. 6S. 60.
and 67 is pretty good—good enough to
win .81.200 first prize mone.v in the
Greater Greensboro Open, and be just
nine strokes better than his nearest
rival—and Then look at his Asheville
feat! . . . What the amateur golfer
said to his caddy after he had missed
the ball three times in a row—“Tougli
course, ain't it?" .... Lawrence Beep
rerpiests that the school obtain a cou
ple of WPA workers or Ji rake.- '\^'ell,
the guy's got to have something to drag
over the baseball field to get it smooth.
. . . Well, folks, that's all—so, as the
storekeeper said to the lady at a bar
gain sale—“good buy.”
Local Baseballers
Become Movie
Stars
Perhaps many students will not be
lieve it. but Greensboro high's baseball
team members became movie stars last
week. Although they have not signed
contracts with such colossal institu
tions as Medro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Colum
bia, or Twentieth Century-Fox, the
boys have signed with a small one-man
concern—the Hopkins Movie company,
which boasts of James Hopkins as
president, vice-president, and secretar.v.
While practicing with his teammates
last week, an idea came into the •'mov
ie producer's” head. Around him was
much talent. Why shouldn't he get
some shots of these boys in action?
The next day saw Hopkins taking mov
ing pictures of a whole practice ses
sion. When some of the Columbuses
of the diamond discovered what was
going on, they came ru.shing over and
demaiukxl “screen tests.” Dick Harper.
Bennett (Little Slugger) Xewell, Mar
shall (Playboy) Morris, and Tom
Aydelette demonstrated methods of
playing the infield. .Toe Winner and
.Tack Touchstone showel the art of
pitching, while Jim Wolfe and Carlyle
Groome gave some outfield pointers. In
a few days the boys will be able to see
themselves on the screen.
While exploring in Death valley.

Whirlwinds Open
Season With Loss
Both Teams Get 12
Hits—Contest Played
On Wind-Swept Field
Playing on a rough, wind-swept field,
on a day really too cold to play base
ball. the Senior high Whirlwinds lost
their first game of (he present season
to a strong, Avell-seasoned Summer-
field squad hy a 10-6 count.
Gauldin, Summerfield pitcher, led his
team at the hat with four safeties out
of five times at hat—a single, two dou
bles, and a triple, resulting from his
stick work. Xewell, second baseman,
led the locals at the plate with a single
and two doubles for five trips to the
platter. Summerfield made eight er
rors, the locals seven, while both teams
collected 12 hits apiece.
Coach Johnson was fairly well
plcasel with the way his boys played.
The locals used four pitchers and sub
stituted freciueiitly. Summerfield used
only one pitcher and made two sub
stitutions.

Baseballers to Tackle
High Point April 9
Greensboro high's Whirlwind base
ball team will face an arch rival, the
High Point Black Bisons, Tuesday eve
ning, April 9, oil the local athletic field.
Although High Point was defeated by
the Winds for the football champion
ship. they gained a sweet revenge in
basketball. Thus the baseball game
will he the det'iding or “rubber” con
test.
Hussoy to Pitch
Of special interest is the fact that
big Jack Hussej', football and basket
ball star, will lob the old horsehide
over for the Pointers. Although not
much is known about the furniture
city squad, it is runiored that Coach
June Scott has a powerful team to
pitch against the locals. As usual,
fireball Gottschalk is expected to el
bow (he Gate City lads to victorj-, with
Carlyle Groome and Jim Wolfe apply
ing the stickwork. Coach Stanley .Tohu-
son hasn't decided his starting line-up
as yet.
