BOY’S TENNIS Although the tennis team did not compile an enviable record, some very- interesting matches were played. The first match was against Appalachian State Teachers' College. The Teachers walloped the Wasps, 5-2. In a return match the Teachers again taught their opponents a little of the finer points by winning again, 5-2. Milligan College inflicted another defeat on the luckless Emory racquet wielders by the score of 4-2. In the fourth match of the year the Wasps defeated Bluefield College, 4-3. Johnson City Teachers swung their racquets with such abandon that the Emory courtmen were defeated, 5-1. Crowgey, Humble, Maiden, Garnand Krams, Estes, Cooley Page 107

TRACK With Coach Bus Bailey at the helm, Emory and Henry's speed merchants chalked up six wins in seven starts. The lone defeat was handed the Wasps by Milligan College in the opening meet. The local harriers gained their first victory at the expense of East Tennessee Teachers, showing a wealth of strength in the distance and weight events. Reaching their peak against Bluefield College, the Wasps smothered the visiting track men, 101 to 25, taking first place in every event. The Emory track team dropped the curtain on a most successful season by forcing L. M. U. to eat their dust with a score of 83 to 43. Coach Bailey had again turned out a great track combination.

Rollins College took the Wasps' measure in two of the contests, Pres- byterian and Newberry accounted for the other defeats. Back home after their long jaunt, the diamond maestros split a double head- er with the Illinois State Teachers, taking the first tussle, 8 to 6, and dropping the second, 7 to 6. Lenoir Rhyne was the next objective. The local lads lost the contest, 9 to 4. The Wasps traveled to Quantico to tangle with the Marines. A 6 to 1 victory was the result of the first game, but in the second engagement the Emoryites were at the short end of a 10 to 9 count. On April 2 the Roanoke College nine slugged out a 15 to 7 victory over the Wasp team. The next two games were with Maryville; the Wasps split the doubleheader, winning the first contest and dropping the second. Thus a record of four wins and nine losses was the net result of the baseball season. Page 108
