ABOUT "TALENTS"
The Thursday evening prayer
meeting was conducted by Susan
Gentry. She read for a Scripture les
son the well known parable of the
talents. In the beginning, she said
every girl possesses some talents; it
may be only one or it may be ten.
And, the speaker said, a girl's first
duty is to come to a knowledge of
what her talents really are, and then
to use them where they will count
for most. No girl should let her one
talent be neglected; first, because
she is not so gifts as another—that
one talent was given to her for a
purpose, to be used for some definite
work, to bring about some desired
result. Each person has a special
niche into which that individual fits,
and no other person can fill that
place.
Miss Gentry's talk was purposeful
and beneficial, inspiring in her hear
ers the desire to do better the tasks
of daily life.

Wake Forest.
Guilford triumphed over Wake
Forest's nine on Saturday, the 7th
inst., at Cone Park, Greensboro, by
shutting out the Baptists by the
score of 3 to 0, in a fast and health
ful game of the national sport. The
Crimson and Gray proved to be en
tirely too strong for the Baptists.
Zachary, Guilford's big mound art
ist of the southpaw variety, held the
Baptists at his mercy, allowing only
five hits, which were so well scatter
ed that no two came in the same
frame, while on the other hand Ellis
was pounded hard and only two men
fell victims to his benders.
The game was fast and snappy,
there being only one miscue, Guil
ford being guilty of the offense.
Guilford scored in the initial
frame on a base on balls, a hit, and a
sacrifice. In the third inning anoth
er tally was added when Massey
cracked out a three-sacker and scor
ed on 'Garner's clean hit. The final
run came in the fourth on a hit bats
man, two hits and a sacrifice.
Wake Forest's only good chance of
avoiding a shut out, came in the
first inning when a man reached
third on an error, and two sacrifice
hits, only to die on the path, for Cox,
next up, succumbed to Zachary's fas't
benders. Franks in the eighth, con
nected with a nice one for half a cir
cuit, but was out at third in an at
tempt to stretch it into a triple.
The features of the game beside
the pitching of Zachary was the fast
work of Cox at first for Wake Forest,
the splendid fielding of Garner, and
the heavy slugging of Massey for
Guilford. Box score and summary:

Winston-Salem.
Guilford handed the leaguers hail
ing from the Twin City a 5 to 2 sur
prise on the latter's diamond, on
Easter Monday. The Crimson and
Gray hit the league twirlers hard,
forcing O'Brien to retire in three
frames, while Finch, the speedy
right-hander for Guilford, was some
what wild but in reparation for this
he sent seven husky batsmen to the
club house with a grim face, and
yielded only five hits, these being
scattered.
The feature of the game was the
hitting of Reddick and Marlette, both

Guilford won her seventh straight
game by defeating Trinity on the lo

the 10th inst., in a contest fraught
with errors and ragged playing, to
the tune of 6 to 4. The twirling of
Zachary and the heavy slugging of
Marlette, who garnered two three
base hits, and one two-base hit out
of four trips to the plate, were the
outstanding features of the game.

BUSINESS MEETING
The meeting on Thursday, April
5, was the regular annual business
meeting. At this time the chairman
of each committee read his report
and offered suggestions for the next
year.
Jesse P. Garner, chairman of the
Bible study committee, gave a very
interesting report, out of the five
Collegiate Bible classes four had a
perfect attendance, and the other one
an average of 97% per cent. This
is a good record, yet there is more
work to do for a few college students
do not attend Bible classes at all.
The faculty have charge of the pre
paratory students and a large num
ber of them do not attend regularly.
Some method should be worked out
to draw them in. The Bible study
work for the college students is vol
untary and all the leaders are stu
dents.
The chairman of the religious
meeting committee, John Henry Bee
son, gave his report, which showed
that the Thursday evening meetings
have been well attended, the average
attendance being 94. The leaders at
these meetings were practically all
students and members of the faculty.
The usual series meetings were not
held due to the fact that funds were
not available.
A. Jones Smith, of the mission
study committee, stated that no reg
ular mission study classes had been
held this year. The Bible clases how
ever have taken up mission subjects.
Then we have had talks on missions;
also a large number of the fellows at
tended the Student Volunteer Con
ference at Greensboro.

THAT DAVIDSON-IGUILrFORDGAME
The last game which local Guil
fordians will have an opportunity to
witness this year is scheduled for
Monday, April 23, at Cone Park,
Greensboro, with the Davidson Col
lege team. The Quakers have been
playing a brand of ball which has
deserved the best of support from
the alumni and friends of the college
but the degree of interest and sup
port accorded the team, aside from
the student body, is discouraging.
Last Friday when A. & E. was blank
ed in Greensboro just a measley
bunch of 89 (aside from the Guil
ford student body and faculty) saw
the best college game of the season.
Similar crowds witnessed the
Wake Forest and Haverford games
in Greensboro. Certainly the team
is deserving of a good attendance at
their last appearance in this section
of the state on next Monday. Be
sides we must trim the Presbyterians
as they took the contest last year by
the score of 6 to 5. Come and help
bag the game.
