THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME 11. ATHLETICS Baseball Season Opens With Two Victories Elon and Carolina Games. ELON-GUILFORD GAME. Guilford began her baseball sea son in brilliant style last Tuesday afternoon, March 21, when our team easily defeated (he team rep resenting Elon College by the score of 11 to 0. Guilford began her scoring by sending two across the registration plate in the lirst inning and one in the third. Again in the seventh inning our men took another move and sent eight more safely across the home plate. Such an aggregation of runs in the seventh was partly, due to costly errors on the part of the Elon boys, but it was more to the heavy slugging by the Quaker hoys. 11l fact the hitting became so monotonous that Elon's coach took Sorrell out and sent Bailey in to finish pitching the inning. While (luilford was doing all this Elon was struggling hard to reach the initial base. The only time they were able to reach it though was in the eighth inning when Duncan got the only hit that was credited to the team. Worth made his appearance in the box for the first time as Guil ford's twirler. He fanned thir teen of the twenty-one men who faced him in the seven innings that he pitched. Futrell played his usual good game behind the bat. Out of three times up lie got three two-base hits. Riddick got two hits, while Short, (Mark, Arm strong. and Worth each got one. It goes without saying that every man on the team played an apt game, for at the end of nine innings there was not a single er ror registered against them. The main features of the game were the splendid pitching of Worth and the heavy hitting by the whole team. The line-up was as follows: Elon. AH. It. H. E.

CAROLINA GUILFORD GAME. The second game of the season was staged in Greensboro last Sat urday afternoon when the Univer sity of North Carolina team was defeated by the close score of 2 to 1. From the very beginning of the game until the last man for the I'niversity had fanned, things looked seriously threatening for Guilford. It was in reality a pitchers' duel. Each pitcher fanned nine men, and there was not a great difference in their work. Worth had more speed than did Outhrell, but probably not quite so big a curve. Last Sunday's Greensboro Daily News had the following to say about Worth's pitching: "Performing strictly up to ad vance notices. Worth, young Guilford College hurler, yesterday afternoon achieved the distinction of defeating the baseball represen tatives of the University of North Carolina at ('one Park, the count of administration being 2 to 1. For live full and complete innings the youngster * * * * turned the wearers of the Blue and White back from the plate without allow ing anything that even remotely resembled a hit.'' Carolina got only three hits, one in each of the sixth, seventh, and ninth innings, while Guilford had five registered to her credit. Of these Armstrong got two and Clark, Garner and Royal each got one. Carolina won her only run on errors, and Guilford got one of hers the same way, but the one that was fatal to the Carolina boys was due t.> Royal's clean hit over the second baseman. All in all it was a hard fought game, one that was intensely in teresting to the ftftft spectators. How it all happened: (Continued on page four.) THE HOLY CITY GIVEN BY CHORAL SOCIETY CON JOINTLY WITH NORMAL CHOR US AT GREENSBORO. Several weeks ago an announce ment was made in tlie Guilfordian that Prof. Brown, of the State Normal, had invited the Guilford chorus to take part in (hull's Holy City to be given in Greensboro March l!)th. Since then the chor us under the direction of Miss Papworth lias been steadily prac ticing. Prof. Brown came to one prac tice at Guilford and the chorus went to Greensboro once to sing with the Normal chorus with the accompaniment of orchestra, pi ano and organ. Sunday, March 15) th. the Guil ford chorus went to Greensboro for the tinal performance. The cantata was well rendered. The accompaniment of orchestra, pi ano and organ added very much to the effect. The soloists were Mrs. Browning, soprano; Miss Glenn, contralto; Mr. Fry,, tenor, and Messrs. Smith and Clapp, baritone. Our college chorus feels that the practice has been well worth while and that it owes Prof. Brown a debt of gratitude.

NUMBER 24 Oratorical Contest On last Friday evening an ora torical contest was held in Memo rial Hall in the interest of inter national peace. For many years such a preliminary contest has been held in order to decide who should go as a representative of the college to the State contest. The orators gave some idea of how the present war is destroying homes and happiness and since other nations are connected with it, lod is calling the Americans to the elimination of such an evil. One of the reasons why some peo ple are so anxious to go to war is because they wish to be honored and called heroes like their fore fathers who fought so bravely. Hut the time has come when the men who strive for the maintain roes. The subjects were as follows: The Peace Ideal is Practical— Samuel Smith. A World Liiigue to Enforce Peace —Raymond Smith. The Child and Peace—Chester Sutton. America's Opportunity to Es tablish World Peace—Fred Mor ris. Fred Morris won first prize and the second prize was delivered to Mr. Chester Sutton. Y. M. C. A. NOTES We were pleased to have for our leader last week Mr. Richard llobbs, of Greensboro, one of Guil ford's sons whose career as a law yer promises to add lustre to his alma mater. Mr. llobbs is well known here, and this acquaint ance served to arouse keen inter est among the fellows. The leader began by saying that the Y. M. C. A. is recognized as being the most representative of the Christian organizations and for this reason he had been for some time and is yet a member. After a few introductory re marks the speaker began to dis cuss the subject of the "Single Standard of Living." "Fvery one should conform to one standard of life, and this standard should be based upon the life of Christ," declared the speaker. We do not need to recognize so very many fundamental principles, but we must know and follow a few. In selecting these few principles which are to govern our conduct (Continued on page four.)
