GREEN, President Phil Hudson To Coach At Senior Next Year Phil Ilud.son, former coach at Tech high in Charlotte and star athlete at Appalachian State Teachers college, has been added to the Senior high coaching staff as first assistant to head Coach Bob Jamieson. Hiidson‘’s coming to Senior high mark.s the fnlfillment of a long-felt need for an adition to the athletic staff. Honorably discharged from the army because of a rnptnred ear drum, Hud son will begin his duties in the fall, assistant (ioach Jamieson with the football drills. While at Appalachian he won three lettters, starring in football, basketball and baseball. Hudson has been at (.'hnidotte Tech high for the past year, ('oach Jamieson has been at Senior high almost a decade and has been assisted the past two years by Buck ^lann. The addition of Hudson to the stair does not affect the status of Coach Mann, but is designed to relieve .Jamie- .son and Mann of some of their many duties in order to give more coaching to individual athletes.

The 1944 lads were slated to end their schedule yesterday with a return engagement with the Albemarle American Legion Juniors, but the encounter was called off. Ending the season was the clash with Thoinasville on May 19. The vis itors edged out the Whirlies, 3-2, in what was principally a pitcher’s duel between Jim Staton of the Whirlies and Jack Gillian of the Thommies. Three quick Thomasvile rums in the first inning stood the rest of the way against two for Greensboro in the sec ond stanza. Each of the opposing pitchers allowed live hits. On May 16, the Whirlies turned back Albemarle’s r,vegion Juniors, 4-2, in a 10-iuning affair. Carlson Howerton gave up six scattered hits, never more than two in an inning. Jack Elkins drove in the two winning runs with a clean single in the 10th. At shortstop Jimmy Fleet handled eight chances without a misclie and made two bits for five times at bat. Greensboro’s biggest disappointment of the season was in High Point’s punc turing of Whirlie hopes for the West ern class A conference championship in the opening round. The Black Bison —-a team that the Whirlies had twice beaten—handed them an 8-5 setback. Only three days before, the Whirlies defeated the Pointers 5-3 in a con ference preview. In the previous game Carlson Hower ton gave up only four scattered hits and sewed up his own ball game by making three runs while getting two hits for four times at the plate. How erton, who struck out 11 Bison bat ters, refused to give a single hit until the seventh frame. Back to avenge this defeat, High Point pulled the tourney’s biggest up set in ousting the Whirlies in the first round on May 11. The Pointers grabbed a 3-4 lead in the first inning and never reliquished it. I^eon Wolfe, little righthander, was relieved in the sixth by Howerton dur ing a Bison scoring spree. Howerton stopped the spree, which had upped the Pointers’ score to eight runs, but the Whirlwind was unable to overtake their Guilford county arch-rivals.
