Swimmers Victorious
In Annuai Duke Meet
Greensboro’s swimming team
closed out their 1955 season on
Saturday, March 26, with their
fourth major victory of the season
at Duke University.
The Whirlies conquered three
rival North Carolina teams—High
Point, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill—
to add the 16 annual Duke trophy
to their growing collection from
all over the South.
Tony Schiffman, the man with
the winning habit all season, chalk
ed up t^^o more firsts in the 100
and 200 yard events. In the morn
ing qualifying heats, Tony topped
his own state record set this year
by three seconds.
Of the 89 entries in the all day
meet, Greensboro claimed six
firsts. Bob Hubner, Greensboro’s
consistant sprinter, started the
meet off with a win in the 50
yard free style. Schiffman’s 200
yard victory was followed by a
victory by Bob Sawyer’s in the 100
yard backstroke. After the second
Schiffman first-place, the Whirlies
won both relay events.
In the girls’ events, High Point
took two out of four firsts. Phyl
lis Glynn, Greensboro’s breast-
stroker, provided the only first
for the local girls.
j Forest Golf Course is the home
j course for the locals, and many
1 of the golf team members are well
: acquainted with it from past ex
perience.
Big, left-handed Ed Sweetman,
an old veteran and winner of the
1954 Golf Trophy, is proving to be
very tough competition for the
number-one-man on the team of
the Whirlie opposition. Ed was
victorious in his first match and
also won the medalist honors with
a score of 76 against Winston-
Salem in the same contest.
Other golf returnees are R. B.
Arthur, Gene Smith, Ed Morris-
sett, Jack Reeves, Tom Wagg, Mike
Weaver, Steve Talley, Jim Martin,
and Guy McGraw. An outstanding
new-comer is Bradley Anderson, a
sophomore who ranked in with the
Whirlie cagers this season.
Hugh Blair, Bob Byrum, Fred
Gillespie, Hal Haskins, and Larry
Brown are also new to the Whirlie
list of golfers. They are seeing
much action on the Greensboro
Country Club Course playing chal
lenge matches.
On April 1, a Whirlie team of
six proved to be too much for the
Winston-Salem duffers. The Whir
lie pros gave 21^ to 6^ defeat
to the Reynolds High shanks who
were playing on their home course.
Here are the results: Sweetman
(G’boro) defeated Dixon 2-1, Ar
thur (G’boro) defeated Bennett 3-0,
Morrissett (G’boro.) defeated Al
len 3-0, Marr (W-S) over Reeves
2^-»/2 and Anderson (G’boro.) tied
up John Marr at The mem
bers of the team played in the
position number in which they
were named.

G^boro Baseballers Claim 5-1 Record;
Outwait Burlington For 2-1 Decision
Greensboro, capitalizing on the
effective pitching of Wilson Car-
ruthers and ten base hits, out-
waited Burlington for a 2-1 decis
ion last Friday.
After Burlington took the lead
in the fifth inning with one run,
Greensboro centerfielder C. W.
Bolling clouted a home run over
centerfield. Greensboro squeezed
in another run during the inning
for the 2-1 lead.
The spasmodic bursts of hitting
during this inning then broke up
what was developing into a pitcher’s
duel.
Paul Sams and Tom Nance led
the locals in the hits department
with two each. Burlington was
paced by first baseman Miles with
three hits.

Eugene, Phil Causey, and James

Look familiar? Of course he does.
Add a helmet, shoulder pads, and
I a pigskin tucked under that arm
and you would swear its Senior’s
consistent halfback, number 32,
Lou Glascock.
Lou has donned his racing togs
along with approximately 35 oth
er trackmen to initiate the ’55
season.
Versatility personified. Coach
Lody Glenn, has switched from
the grappling hopefuls to the track
team. He has bad the boys running
everywhere for over two weeks.
Louis, alojig with Ed Schenck
and Paul Amons, monopolizes the
hurdles department — both high
and low.
Perhaps the teams’ real star is
lanky Dave Scurlock, famed all-
state member of the Whirlie bas
ketball team. Dave holds the state
record in 188-yard event from last
year.
The tracksters are pointing toward
honors at the state meet to be held
later this spring in Chapel Hill.

Coach Julian Smith’s baseballers
have started off the ’54-55 season
in fine fashion, having already
amassed an unblemished record of
four wins against no losses. Gas
tonia, last year’s league champion
have already felt the effect of
Smith’s squad, getting mauled 9-6
in the opening game of the season.
That game between the two
clubs opened their conference sea
son. Since then, the Whirlwinds
have whizzed by three other teams
with Burlington the only Western
AAA member.
Camithers, Ritchie Pitch
Wilson Carruthers, fiery pitcher,
took complete control of the Bur
lington game from atop the mound
as he came through with his sec
ond superb performance of the
year. He pitched the home team
to a 2-1 win, running the Whirlies*
I streak to four in a row.
I “Woody” allowed just five hits,
1 three more than 7-5 winning ef-
' fort against Reidsville.
Banks Ritchie continued to show
his prowess over highly-tanted
Gastonia, leading the Whirlies to
a 9-6 victory. Last year, the three
lettermen shut out the Green Wave
1-0.

Dominating the batters this year
is no one player. Shortstop Paul
Soms, second baseman Norm Ody-
niec, outfielders Dave Thompson,
C. W. Bolling, Richard Hall, Tom
my Nance, are the main starters
in that department. Bolling to date,
holds one main distinction—of
having the only homer among the
crew.
