WOODBERRY OUT- CLASSED IN BASEBALL
Orange and Black Receive Decisive Setback
In a contest featured by heavy hit- ting particula.rly on the part of the Garnet and White, Woodberry For- est School tasted defeat at our hands
last Saturday in a rather one-sided affair. The final score was 13-9, in- cluding four gift runs which Spruill presented them as an
ment.
Coach Gannaway's sluggers f,..;;
Ivey's slants no puzzle, and
Woodberry hurler was. slammed for
three triples and a. brace of doubles,
not to mention the remainder of the .
thirteen bingles collected at his ex-
e:;~ch ac-
counted for three hits, while prac-
tically all the rest of the nine got
at least one safety. Spruill's work
in the box was exceptional. In ad-
dition to fanning seven, he allowed only the same number of hits, and walked but three of the opposing stickmen. Whisnant was easily the · leading W. F. S. batter, collecting three safeties. At only one point in the game did Woodberry become really threatening. With b a s e s
loaded and two out, Spruill threw the ball wild to Southall on first. Two scored, and Woodberry tallied
. twice again before the end of the inning, which put them but one run behind. Apart from that bad break, we had everything our own way.

FaTinholt was so delighted by the record -smashin_g that he decided to create one for himself. With a long jump of 20 feet, 1-2 inches he es- tablished a new mark in this event,
Goldy, slated to lose the pole v a u l t , u p s e t a l l prediction~~, a n d cleared 11 feet, 9 inches, easily breaking his own record and Wood- berry's also.
Perhaps the most r em ark able achievement was that of Floyd Day in the quarter. He had previously run the half, and won it, but on the first turn of the 440, his shoe was accidentally spiked off and his foot badly cut. In spite of this handicap, he kept on, took first, and broke the school record. His time was 53 1-5 seconds .
