THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VIII
VIRGINIA TRIP CLOSES SEASON,
QUAKERS DROP FOURSAND WIN ONE
Guilford closes its baseball season
with a week's trip through Virginia,
April 23 to 30. The Quakers played
five games, meeting some of the
strongest teams in the state. While
the team took only one game
it played top notch ball in all the
contests.
The Quakers opened the Virginia
trip with a two game series at
Hampden-Sidney; losing the first
game 2 to 3, and the second exhibi
tion 4 to 2.
A comedy of errors, or perhaps a
tragedy of errors best characterizes
the initial contest. Ferrell, on the
mound for Guilford, pitched a bumper
game, allowing only three safe bin
gles. The Quakers clearly outclass
ed their opponents in the use of the
willow but in the fielding game the
team looked like a wash woman. A
grand total of eleven errors, most of
which came at critical points in the
game spells the tale of defeat.

The second game was passed up
to the Hampden Sidney lads to the
tune of 4 to 2. The Virginians
found their batting eye and knocked
the agate for 10 clean bingles driv
ing Mcßane from the box in the sec
ond frame.
After the second innning which
Hampden-Sidney turned into a slug
fest, sending across eough runs to
sew up the game, the Quaker ma
chine tightened but they were never
able to overcome the lead secured.
H. B. Shore who relieved Mcßane
checked the batting rally and held
his opponents in good check for the
rest of the game. Only once did
the Hampden-Sidney lads cross the
rubber on his delivery.
The Quakers tallied one run in the
fif'h and their final score in the sizth.

GUILFORD WINS FROM ROAN
OKE 4 TO 6
Guilford won the third game of
the trip from Roanoke College
4 to 2. Babe Shore pitched
a brand of ball that was entirely
too much for the Virginians, and this
together with the guilt edge suppart
afforded him by his team mates
was responsible for the victory.
Newlin did deadly work for the
Quakers when it came to swinging
the bludgeon, garnering four bingles
out of five trips to the plate. Cap
tain Litts, the Virginans' star third
baseman, was also effective with the
willow. He slashed out a circuit
drive in the lucky seventh and added
a two base hit besides.
Guilford started the scoi-ing in
the second when hits by Winn, Smith
and Shore netted one run. The home
run drive of Litts in the seventh

GU ILFORD COLLEGE, N. C. MAY 3, 1922
PROF. GRAVES ADDRESS
ES ENGLISH MEETING
Methods of Newspaper, War Cor
respondents Discussed.
Methods of handling newspaper in
Europe during the war was the
theme of a lecture delivered in Me
morial Hall, April 26, by Professor
Louis Graves of the Department of
Journalism at Chapel Hill, at an open
meeting of the English Depai'tment.
Mr. Graves, a man of wide jour
nalistic experience, recounted in in
teresting fashion many facts based
his own observations in Europe fol
lowing his transfer to the American
press section after the armistice, and
his experience in Paris after his dis
cbarge from the army.
The speaker began his lecture by
telling how the newspaper work dur
ing the war was systematized. There
was a press section to which news
papers had correspondents. The
reporters could go out anywhere to
get news. They could follow as close
to the firing line as they wished,
and when chance would permit, they
could have an interview with the
officers. They reported the news to
the press section where it first had
to pass through a censoring com
mittee. Any future plans of the
officers as to the position of the
troops were cut out. As the firing
line would advance the general staff
would order the press section to
move up. The press section was
not stationary; it was allowed to be
moved wherever the staff thought
best.
Sometimes newspaper reporters got
the privilege of going out on the
battle fields and to different scenes
of historical events where they picked
up much news to store away and use
for future writing.
After Mr. Graves was discharged
he stayed in France as a freeplace
newspaper man and wrote articles
for papers and magazines of the
United States. He also spent much
time studying the French newspapers.
Mr. Graves also spoke to the class
in Journalism, Tuesday afternoon,
upon the subject of newspaper feat
ure articles.

"CLARENCE" BENEFIT
PLAY FOR ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION
Bright Sparkling Comedy of Amer
ican Life.
After a month of strenuous re
hearsals, the cast for "Clarence,"
the play which is being presented
by the Dramatic Council for the ben
efit of the Men's Athletic Associ
ation, is rapidly rounding into shape.
Work on the scenery is also coming
on apace and everything seems pro
pitious for a creditable performance.
The play itself, a four-act comedy
by Booth Tarkington, is a thoroughly
delightful one. When it was playing
in New York the New York Times
said of it, "It It is as American as
'Huckleberry Finn' or pumpkin pie,"
while the New York Tribune re
marked, "To our mind 'Clarence' is
the best light comedy which has ever
been written by an American."
Briefly its situation is this, Clar
ence, the hero is a discharged hero.
He has no medals, no shoulder bars,
no great accomplishments. One of
the "five million, he served where
he was sent—though it was no fur
ther than Texas. As an entomolo
gist, he found no field for his spe
cialty in the great war as it was
fought in Texas, so they set him
to driving mules.
Now reduced to civil life and seek
ing a job, he finds a position in the
home of one, Wheeler, a wealthy
Englewood man with a family. And
because he has "beien in the army"
he becomes guide, philosopher and
friend to the members of that
same agitated and distracted fam
ily group. Clarence's position is a
difficult one. In addition to his du
ties just named, he tunes the piano,
he mends the plumbing, ha plays the
horn and around him revolves such
a group of characters as only Booth
Tarkington can offer.
Cora and Bobby Wheeler, the
flapper and the prep school youth,
are portrait sketches warranted to
appeal to every one, even to their
originals. The irascible father, the
"incompetent step-mother," the pret
ty Irish maid and her disgruntled
lover, the butler, are all there. Nor
is a love story lacking, for Clarence's
liking for the young governess is
returned in spite of the efforts of
the grass-widower, Stem, to frus
trate it.
An evening of real fun should be
the experience of all who see this
second pdrouction of the Dramatic
Council, which will be staged in Me
morial Hall on the evening of May
13.
