Baseball, Guilford vs. State College, April 3, Cone Park, Greensboro
THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME V.
Girls Play a Double
Header in Basketball
Much Skill and Speed Manifested
Throughout the Game
Last Thursday afternoon Guilford
gym was a scene of much excite
ment. Twenty gay and enthusiastic
girls appeared on the floor for a
double header game of basket ball.
The four teams were: first and sec
ond Crimsons, and first and second
Grays, with first Crimsons vs. first
Grays and second Crimsons vs. sec
ond Grays.
The game began with the second
teams on the floor. Despite the fact
that the majority of the players of
these teams were beginners in bas
ket ball they showed excellent skill
and fine team work, showing that
they had had splendid coaching.
Clemantine Raiford with the aid of
Nell Carroll managed to score for
the second Grays twenty points dur
ing the game. On the side of the
second Crimsons Dovie Hayworth
and Alma Chilton did some good
shooting at the basket, scoring nine
field goals against the strong guard
ing of Myrtle Edgerton and Jo Mock.
The centers, Marianna White and
Zenobia Bagwell were on their job
with vivacity. At the close of the
game the score stood 25-14 for the
second Grays.
Immediately after this game the
first teams hastened to the floor full
of pep, ready for the expected hard
fight. These teams were a combi
nation of varsity and scrubs. They
were evenly matched as the close
score of the entire game showed. At
no time were the onlookers able to
tell at a glance who were varsity
and who were seconds, all played to
gether in perfect unity to attain one
end, namely, the securing of the big
end of the score. The characteris
tic fight went on between Beulah
Jessup and Edna Raiford as for
wards with Donna Mcßane and Lula
Raiford hard on their heels to pre
vent them shooting. Edna Raiford
however after giving her opponent
numerous dodges was enabled by
the skillful passing of Beulah Jessup
to shoot two field goals and one foul
a total of five points.
On the other end of the court the
game was just as stiffly contested.
This part of the playing was char
acterized by the rapidity in passing
the ball both on the part of the for
wards and guards. Jean Whitney
and Vera Mcßane attacked the goal
for the first Crimsons. Jean is cred
ited with two field goals and Vera
one field goal and a foul. Only by
skillful passing and rapid changes in
location were they able to obtain
either point, for all the while they
were closely watched by Eura
Teague and Ruth Outland. One
would be surprised to know how
high the ball must be thrown to go
over Eura's head, but this is due to
her ability to jump and not her phys
ical stature.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. 0., APRIL 2, 1919
Zatasians Entertain
The Philomatheans
Last Friday evening the Philoma
thean Literary Society was called to
order in the absence of the President
by Vice-President Moore. Miss
Hobbs was appointed critic for the
evening. After the business of the
society was transacted, the usual
course of events changed.
The marshal from the Zatasian
Society brought the Philomatheans
an invitation to spend the evening
with them. The invitation waa read
ily accepted and the Philomatheans
left their hall to join their sister Za
tasians in the adjoining room.
The subject for the evening was
"Burns." On entering the room very
attractive favors in the shape of the
letter B were given to each guest.
"The Life History of Burns" was
outlined by Miss Abbiati, her ac
count giving a very distinct picture
of his jareer. Miss Martin discussed
the "Poetical Career of Burns" in an
effective way. The third number
was an instrumental solo ably ren
dered by Miss Vogler. The fourth,
a reading by Miss Yow, and the fifth
a reading by Miss White, giving
some of the best and most loved of
Burns' work. A vocal solo by Miss
Hockett ended the program.
After a helpful critic's report from
Miss Farlow, President Mcßane gave
the visitors a hearty welcome and in
vited them to remain for a social
hour.
Refreshments consisting of cream,
cake and coffee were served.
The evening was indeed a well
spent one, for the sister societies
have strengthened the bond of
friendship that has ever existed be
tween them and all left agreeing
that they had had an inspiring, help
ful and enjoyable time.
THINGS OF INTEREST IN
THE PHYSICAL WORLD
Discussed at Science Club Wednes-
day Evening.
Science Club on last Wednesday
evening was in charge of the physics
department.
David White first told of Ameri
ca's greatest war invention
Roger's Underground Wireless."
Hobart Patterson then gave a very
interesting discussion on "How to
Make it Rain."
Next came a discussion on "Feed
ing Chickens by Electricity," by
Frances Moore, and also "How to
Protect Chickens from being stolen
by using an electric fence."
Marjorie Williams showed the ad
vantage of Shadow Photography
over X-ray. Shadow photography
has two advantages: first, it is much
cheaper than X-ray; second, it is en
tirely harmless.
Prof. Carroll concluded the pro
gram with a discussion of "Canned
Electricity."
Big Crowd
Sees Minstrel
Black Face Guilford Comedians
Show Ability as Laugh Producers.
The annual minstrel staged in
Memorial Hall on Saturday evening
of last week was a button buster
from start to finish. It consisted of
melodies that brought tears to the
eyes; jokes that were screams, the
famous Guilford jazz band and red
hot African burlesque.
In the first part sparkling streams
of wit from Rastus (Ed. Carroll),
Bones (Murray White), Sassafras
(Joe Taylor), and Pimples (Frank
Mims) were carefully drawn out by
the interlocutor (Roger Kiser).
Jokes followed each other in rapid
succession. Pimps family troubles
were graphically rehearsed, Sassa
fras did not desire his cow to be
named United States for fear she
would go dry on July Ist; Rastus
was much distressed because of the
flirtatious lady faculty and Bones
could not distinguish between the
faces of Hugh White and his girl.
These sallies and many more were
interspersed with solos which
brought vigorous applause. The
overture ensemble was full of pretty
melodies. Norman Pox in Dear Old
Pal of Mine, Paul Trotter in Beauti
ful Ohio, John Taylor in My Wild
Irish Rose and Luby Casey in At
Dawning were all very effective and
displayed real talent. The end men's
songs by Mims and Taylor made big
hits and were loudly encored. The
final fdr the first part "A Derby Day
in Dixie" was full of pep. The other
members of the circle who ably
joined in on the choruses were Zill
man Dye, Berry Lee White, John G.
Frazier, Glen Smithdeal, Grady Mtr-
Bane, John White, Joe White, Kent
Patton.
Part II began with one of the best
numbers of the evening, a mono
logue by Grady Mcßane. His clever
impersonations of Guilford celebri
ties deserve special mention. The
instrumental selections by Patton,
Trotter, Mims, Taylor and Sundean
were much enjoyed by the audience,
as was evidenced by the uproarious
applause. The next number was en
titled a Coon Rehearsal with Joe
White and Grady Mcßane in the
leading roles. Their dramatic pow
ers were ably portrayed in a thrill
ing climax when the ghost appeared.
The clogging number by Murray
White and John White brought out
talent that seemed more professional
than amateur and was thoroughly
enjoyed. In the Coon Creek Court
ship, Hugh Moore as the bashful
lover, and Berry Lee White and the
coy negro maiden, succeding in pull
ing off one of the most ludicrous
love affairs that has ever taken place
at Guilford College. Both showed
real ability as laugh producers.
The last part, A Night on the Old
Plantation, was very effectively
staged. The curtain went up on a
scene showing a negro cabin flanked

Hard Practice
For A. & E. Game
New Men Showing Up Well in Early
Season Work.
With the team showing steady im
provement and in excellent condi
tion, the indications are that Guil
ford College is to have a good season
in baseball. General interest is
aroused over the first game with
North Carolina State College at
Greensboro Thursday of this week.
The team is full of "pep" and by
hard work are determined to hold
high Guilford's standard in baseball.
In spite of the fact that there are no
letter men back, the indications are
that the team will come out with the
big end of the score in the majority
of the games.
Captain Barnard, Lindley, White
and Edwards are showing up well
for the pitching staff, while Carroll
and Stafford are making strong bids
for the position behind the bat.
Lindley and Carroll will probably be
the battery against State College
Thursday. Barnard, Edwards, Red
ding, Patton and Riser are contest
ants for outfield positions at present.
Mcßane and Stratford are running
a race for third, with the former in
the lead.
Dye and Stout are working hard
for short, and there seems to be a
hard fight for this position. Dye's
experience gives him some advan
tage and a slight lead over his oppo
nent.
At second Fox and McFarland are
keeping the grass off and the dust
flying. Fox takes all grounders and
throws like a veteran.
Frazier and Davis are showing up
well for fij-st base. Hard work will
decide this position, with Frazier
probably starting the game Thurs
day.
Unfavorable weather deprived the
first team of its opening game with
Lenoir College, March 27, and the
crossing of bats on Thursday is
anxiously awaited by every member
of the team. The second team has
already won two games with High
Schools.
GRAND CONCERT, GIRLS' GLEE
CLUB, APRIL 12, 7:45 P. M.
The Girls' Glee Club Concert on
April 12th at Memorial Hall will be
one of the most enjoyable musical
events of the season. The program
will be one of variety and beauty.
Old English melodies, a minuet, a
grand opera selection and a beauti
ful dramatized cantata of one act,
with solos, duets, quartets and chor
uses, will make a delightful evening
of song.
Norman Fox: "The particulars of
the will of Charles II were that the
twenty-two crowns of Spain should
never fall on the same head."
H. Edwards: "The Spanish crown
and the French crown could never
come under the same head."
