Score Tied
The visitors evened the count in the second frame on two hits and an error, but Turner scored in the V. E. S. half to put his side ahead, 3-2.
The Blue and White team staged a rally in the next inning when they batted around to score four runs on as many hits and one misplay. Things looked dark for the home
team but the heavy artillery was up, and hits and errors enabled V. E. S, to score five times before the third
man was retired. Barnes' two base blow cleared the bases in this inning. In the next inning Captain Luck's circuit clout with Lee on base gave V. E. S. a 10-7 margin. Payne's run gave his team a five-run ad- vantage.
Spectacular Catch
In the eighth inning Captain Luck contributed the fielding fea- ture of the contest when he made a leaping one-handed stab in center field to rob Harris of a home run. Meanwhile Coach Gannaway's team

going for extra bases.

Captain Luck was in tip top form, April 17, and held the hard hitting Lynchburg High baseball team to a lone scratch hit, as V. E. S. won in decisive fashion, 12-1. It was Coach Gannaway's birthday, and he con- sidered it a more than handsome
present, since the Hilltoppers had boastingly predicted that they would win by about five runs. This game left little doubt as to the fact that L. H. S. was favored by luck in the
previous game. And it should have even been worse. The losers scored in the ninth but only because of two infield errors. Luck struck out ten and hit a home run himself.

Eight; Idling Causes Drop
The scholastic averages for the
sixth month were not as high as those attained for the preceding month, only eight boys averaging the coveted 90%. Sixteen boys,
however averaged between 85 and 90%. In announcing these boys, who have the privilege of working out of night study hall, Mr. Matt- field stated that the lower average of the past month was due to idling
on the part of those, who should make high marks in their studies. Curd and Hairston lead the list with averages of 94.t.
The boys averaging over 90% were: Curd, Hairston, Hillier, La- mar, Luckie, Moore, Pritchett, and Ristine; and those averaging 85% or more were: Alston, Barnes, Causey, Canfield, Forsyth, D., For-
syth, G., Gooch, Harrison, Heald, Hines, Hobbs, King, Lasher, Mac Laughlin, Perrine, J., and Raymond.
