FOUR GAMES OUT OF THE SIX LOST
Herman Shore and "Babe" Shore Do Greater Part
Of Pitching
EVERY GAME PLAYED IN RAIN, MUD OR COLD
QUAKERS AND VIRGINIA CHRIS
TIANS BATTLE FOR THIR.
TEEN INNINGS.
Lynchburg Leads Until Ninth, Then
Neither Side Able to Score
Before Darkness Ends Game
Guilford began her Virginia trip
with a thirteen inning tie game with
Lynchburg College. Score 2 to 2.
As said by one of Lynchburg's oldest
sport writers, "For real, air tight,
gritting basketball it is doubtful if
anything like this game had been
seen in the Lynchburg fair grounds
for the past 10 years." This is ev
ident from the fact that the Lynch
burg team had 57 fielding chances
and made but 3 errors. Guilford had
59 chances and mode 2 errors.
Lowman for Lynchburg and "Babe"
Shore for the Quakers, each pitched
eight innings and were hit rather
hard at times although they came
by most pinches allright. Thomas
took Lowman's place and Her
man Shore relieved "Babe" in the
9th inning and from then on it was
a regular pitchers battle between
the two southpaws.
The Quakers drew first blood in
the first inning when J. G. Frazier
hit a three bagger and came home
on Algie Newlin's triple. Nevvlin was
left on third when Babe Shore was
out, pitcher to first.
Lynchburg also scored in this in
ning. Meadows and Parker both hit
safely and then scored on Brown's
single.
From this time till the 9th neither
side scored. In this inning the
Quakers put one more run across
tieing the score. Cummings first
up, singled. H. Shore struck out and
Stout was walked, C. Shore was out
on the infield fly rule, both Cum
mings and Stout advancing a base.
Cummings scored a moment later on
C. Newlin's single. After this
neither side scored although Guil
ford had a man on third and second
in the thirteenth inning. But three
batters per inning passed H. Shore
after the 9th inning.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N.C, MAY 11, 1921
WASHINGTON AND LEE UNI
VERSITY RUNS AWAY WITH
GUILFORD IN A BASE
BALL GAME.
Six Home Runs the Feature of the
Game.. J. F. Frazier Sent Two
Over Fence and Hayworth
One.
The Guilford team ambled out into
the cold drizzling rain at Lexington,
Va. and proceeded to give the Wash
ington & Lee generals some hitting
practice. Score 18-3. The score how
ever does not show the relative
strength of the two teams. To begin
with it was not base ball weather
and to end with the Quaker lads
seemed '.a fail to get started. Six
home runs were scored in the game.
J. G. Frazier garnered two. Hay
worth one and three went to the
W. & L. players, while Guilford's
home runs come with the bases
empty, there were always one or
two W. & L. men perched on base
when their home runs came. That in
a way counts for the one-sided score.
Batteurs, H. Shore, Mcßane and
Hayworth; W. & L. McCallum and
Frew.
Hits off H. Shore 7 in 2 innings,
off Mcßane 12 in 7 Innings off Mc-
Callum 6.
VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE
WINS FROM GUILFORD FIVE
to ONE.
Game Played on a Muddy Field.
Quakers Lead until the Seventh
Guilford's second loss with Va. trip
came at the hands of V. M. I. Score
5 to 1. Guilford playing on a mud
dy field and in November weather
scored first in the third period. J.
W. Frazier was safe on catcher's
error, took second on J. G. Frazier's
sacrifice and came home when C.
Newlin singled. Guilford held this
one run lead till the seventh in
ning. Then Summers and Bunting
hit safely. Teach walked filling
the bases. Saunders, who had struck
out three times in succession came
to bat and after having struck twice
in vain landed on the pill for a good
single bringing in two runs. Three
errors and two hits gave the cadets
three more runs in the eighth inning.
With the exception of the seventh
inning C. Shore pitched fine ball
and had it not been for this one
time should have been accredited,
with a victory.

The Annual Freshman
Exhibition of Work in This Depart
ment at Guilford, and a History
of This Line of School Work
Were Main Features of
The Day.
A splendid exhibition was given
on Wednesday afternoon, May 4, of
the work done by the sewing class of
the Home Economics Department
under direction of Miss Noles.
Wednesday evening at seven o'clock
a departmental meting was held at
which was given a brief history
of the development of Home Eco
nomics and a short resume of the
work done during the year by the
three classes of the department.
Florence Cox gave a history of the
work from its beginning until it
was put on a new basis about ten
years ago. Some of the women
who have done most for the advance
ment of this work were also men
tioned and a few remarks concerning
their lives were given. Represen
tatives from the three classes gave
a short summary of the work done
during the year in laboratory work
and also in Tecture courses. It was
very interesting to note the many
different things which had been stud
ied by the various classes. Miss
Noles then told of the importance
of this work and its rapid develop
ment. This work was installed at
Guilford College and given college
credit as the other courses just four
years ago. Improvements have been
made each year and a few more
things added to the course until
many things are included. Last
year representatives of this depart
ment were sent out who held some
of the best positions in the state
this year.
A PROGRESSIVE TENNIS
TOURNAMENT.
Both Boys and Girls Take Pa,
The first tennis tournament of
the year was held on five of the
college tennis courts or. Saturday,
May 7. The objoet of the tourna
ment was to create a greater interest
in this particular phase of athletics
and to let the student body as a
wneJc realize that tennis at Guilford
College is really doing some effective
work.
The participants in the tournament
consisted of botli boys and girls and
numbered twenty in all. The three
courts near Cox Hall accommodated
twelve players, while the two courts
at Founders were occupied by eight.
Progressive tennis was the nature of
the playing on the three courts at
Cox Hall, owing to the distance be
tween the courts of Founders and
those of Cox Hall the eight players
on the girl courts were allowed to
play as they chose. Each team
consisted of a boy and a girl and
doubles were played throughout the
game. The winning team of the
evening consisted of Grace Smithdeal
and James Zachary.
Plans for another meet are
being made which will be held before
the end of the school year.
The Home Economic
Department
Contest
Helen Johnson Wilts the Honors of
the Contest.. Six Girls Compete.
The Annual Recitation Contest
given by the girls of the Freshman
class, took place last Saturday even
ing, May 7, in Memorial Hall.
Although the number of girls who
entered the contest was campara
tively small, the manner in which
each girl gave her reading showed
much careful study and preparation.
The fine manner in which each
reading was delivered presented quite
forcefully to the minds of the audi
ence that in coming years, the old
standard of the college, that of pro
ducing the very best in each phase
of the college work, will not be
lowered but carried with much pride
by the classes which are now doing
their first work of this kind. While
each of the speakers acquitts herself
well, Miss Helen Johnson, with, per
haps, the most classical reading of
the group won unanimously the de
cision of the judges.
The musical numbers were very
well rendered.
I. Black Ronold—Hattie Poindexter.
11. The Price of Fame—lsla Willis
Thompson.
111. Loves Response Polka—C.
Krickel, Nellie Stewart.
IV. Naughty Briar Rose—Shelly

V. Kentucky Philosophy—Jewel

VI. The Fiddle Told—Helen John
son.
VI. Vocal Solo, "Cob Webs"—Ger
ritt Smith, Evelyn Henley.
The judges for the evening were
Mrs. Raymond Binford, Mr. Balder
ston, Mr. Mark Mills.
Mr. Mills presented Miss Johnson
with the prize, two handsomely bound
books of o'Henry.
THE VARIOUS CONCEPTIONS OF
Thursday night, Profesor Dann
conducted Y. M. C. A. He spoke
mainly from Professor Philip's book
entitled "The Philosophy of Happi
ness."
Most things which we depend on
for our happiness do not give it.
Some people think that if they only
had money or could just remain idle
that their happiness would be com
plete. Others think that the only
way to be happy is to have a contin
uous round of amusement and wear
good clothes. People oftimes dress
as if something were the mat
ter with them. Then again people,
mostly the younger members of so
ciety, think that if they could just
play all of the time, how happy they
would be. But he is the happiest
man who thinks the most interest
ing thoughts. That is where educa
tion plays a large part in helping
to make people happy."
Professor Dann stressed the neces
sity of education and the seizing of
every opportunity to broaden the
mind. I
After a few sentence prayers and
familiar songs the meeting was dis
missed.
