We are one of the few who know
the real reason why Jim Finison
wins his fights. It isn't because he
is a great wrestler. Neither can
yon call it luck because he is
fairly good wrestler: but the real
reason why Jim wins is that he
has faith. Just before each match
when the team lines-up to go out
onto the floor, Jim goes off to him
self and prays a little prayer. In
this hour of troubled times it seems
a lot of us can follow “Big Jim's"
example and pray for God to give
us the streengrh to see our troubles
through and overcome them.
Our apologies to Barry Farber
and Jim Pini-son for the mix-up
we made in declaring that Finison
was elected captain of the wrest
ling team. Barry Farber was
elected captain, and Finison ran ;
close second.
Allman Beaman had to foreige
wrestling because of an infected ear.
Coach Smith’s squad feels the los.«
of the little 125 pounder.
When we graduate from GIIS i’
June, we sincerely hope the local
fans will not have to put up with
the “rookie” referees in basketball
as they had to this past season.
In last week’s column we made
the suggestion that Greensboro and
High Point break off athletic rela
tions if better conduct cannot be
had at the events. Since that article
came out we have heard very
much comment on the subjeid and
most people are for bre.aking off
with High Point. Those who are
not, bring up the argument that
Greensboro and High Point will
have to forfeit a game and make
it much harder for either team to
win a championship. To see a
championship does not means that
much; if the teams and fans can
not meet without fighting them
not meet without fighting then
break. (Editor’s Note: We invite
the student to express his or her
opinion: on the above subject. If
you have anything to say about
the subJiect, write a letter to the
editor or to George Seay and turn
it in to Mrs. Holland in room 10.)
We wonder if Burlington will he
able to turn the trir^ and beat the
Whirlie baseball team, too.

Baker New Track Coach;
Rookies Make Up Squad
By BRADLEY FAlRCLOTll
The major spring sports, tract
and baseball, will - get offlciaih
under way April 6, w’hen the Whit
lie baseball squad traves to Wi^
.ston-salem to meet the Reynold'^
high nine. This game will
Greensboro's first conference tilt
but there will probably be a prp-
season game with the Carolina
Freshmen.
Caught above dressing for the match with Jamestown is Barry Farber, sensational 135 pounder of tlie
Whirlie wrestling squad. Until this fight Farber had registered seven falls with his previous opponents.
Faircloth's Opinion
by
HONEST BRAD
Here is some more opinion.
We ended our last column (or
rather David Buckner €ndei it)
with a prediction of the infield
of the “48'’ baseball squad. Next
comes the pitching staff with Bill
Baxter most likely being the ace
moundsman of the squad. Baxter
gained considerable experience
pitching for the Muir’s Chapel Red
Sox last year. This semi-pro team
boasted a record of twelve losses
and three wins. Baxter lost ten
ames and almost won one He will
team up with Bill Lester, who was
our ace “bullpen” pitcher last year,
and give the Whirlies two ace right
hand “chunkers.”
The outfield positions \viH be fill
ed this year by last year’s reserves.
Dennis Fortune will probably be

leading candidate for one of the
outfield spots afrer being switched
from his regular first ba.se position.
Young Fortune, who is a Greens
boro Record Route manager, wa.s
very impressive during his ia.st year
of American Legion baseball, and
proved he could hit that ball. He
had a higb-batting average while
playing with this team. He bit
somewhere in the high SO's.
There should be several candi
dates for the backstop post. Dick
Elkins, Warren Leonard, “Bob”
Shelton, Tommy Ward, and Wrigh-
tenberry Archer. Archer and Elkins
are noted for the way they swing
that timber, while Shelton and
Leonard are good fielders. Archer
was a reserve catcher at Hargrove,
but his main duty was looking
after the bats; baseball bats.

The last three games will be

be a lot of hard work to rouD^
the squad into shape by the tim^
of the first game.
A few members of the track team
have been working out during the
third period Physical Educatioi
class, but there is no definite date
as to when their first meet wiri
take pace. There will, however, b»
four track meets that the dndw
team will attend later on in tbf
season. These are the Westen
(Conference meet, the Carolina Re-
la.vs, the Duke Invitational, and tb
State track meet.
Charleston Baker will be the new
track coach .since Jameison had u
take.over baseball coaching dutiee.
He will probably start his drife
on or about the same date baseball
practices starts, and he says that
severa positions on the team will
be vacant because of the graduatioi
of some of last year’s stars.
