Page Four High Life 2, m2 .. The Sports Corner.. By DON WILLIAMSON Ah, busy days! With baseball, track, tennis, football (spring practice), and golf going in full swing, the coaches here at Senior are fully occupied. Coach Bob Jamieson, assisted by Coach Herman Smith, is ai the helm of the football forces. Coach Jamieson is also head of the golf team. Coach Lody Glenn is in charge of the “speed merchants,” alias the track team. Coach Julian Smith is at the head of the Whirlie nine in baseball. Our two Coach Smiths also handle Phy. Ed. classes. Aside from coaching duties, Coaches Herman Smith and Lody Glenn have history classes. Some schedule, huh? Former Whirlie dept: We would likfe to note the former diamond greats here at Senior who are making a name for themselves in organized baseball this season. Stan Johnson, Jr.. son of “Jabbo,” is pitching for Norfolk in the Virginia League. Lindy Brown, Whirlie diamond ace of a couple years back, is toiling for the Reidsville Luckies of the Carolina League. Andy Frazier is playing some fine shortstop for the Durham Bulls of the Carolina League, Jack Thomas, rookie sensation last year, is now on the mound for the Hi-Toms of the North State League. Of course we wouldn’t want to leave out Hal “Skinny" Brown, who has become a Chicago White Sox regular. We think it is safe to say that Senior High is well represented in baseball circle sthis season.

Whirlies Lose Game To Winston Players The Senior High baseball team was defeated by the Black Demons of Reynolds High of Winston- Salem in a Western Class AAA contest played last Tuesday on the Demons home field. The final score was 9-5. This was a severe set back of the hopes the Whirlies had for winning the conference championship. The loss was the third suffered by the Whirlies this season. Their previous losses were at the hands of Burlington and Salisbury. They have wins over the Gastonia Green Wave and the High Point Black Bison. Whirlie miscues afield, coupled with timely hitting by Reynolds, gave Winston an 8-1 lead after three innings. This lead was enough to give Reynolds the vic tory, but the Whirlies made a Eubanks Laundromat j Shop While You Wash ? at Summit Shopping Center Phone 4*4709 920 East Bes^mer Ave. SMYRE’S SUNSET SERVICE STATION Phones 3-6623 & 4-1330 Cor.
