Guilford has a heavy schedule of
eighteen games arranged for the
1923 baseball season. She will op
en the season with the New Yorkers
at Greensboro, and will close with a
two-weeks trip into Virginia. Two
games will be played on the home
ground. The first of these two to
take place will be the meeting of
Wake Forest on April 13 and the
sc ond with Lynchburg on the 19.
With the exception of Newlin,
last year's leftfielder, the entire
team is back this year. Captain H.
B Shore will again head the pitch
ing stall, while Hayworth, the state's
leading college catcher, will resume
his former position. N. English, H.
Macon and C. Kendall members of
last year's scrub team are candi
dates for the first team. H. Andrews,
first baseman on the 1921 team, has
been enrolled again as a student,
and is shaping himself up for work.
Two new men, Roy Burge and Wen
dell Cude, are considered promis
ing material.
With this lineup there is no
reason why Guilford should not put
out a team that will compare favor
ably with the best in the state.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FEBRUARY 14, 1923
MR. BERNARD GONE
ADRESSES STUDENTS
Carolina's Cotton King Discusses
The Growth of Proximity
Bernard, Cone, president of Prox
imity Mfg. Co. of Greensboro, ad
dressed the student body last Tues
day morning on the subject of
"Development of Mill Villiages.'
beginning with 1895, when Messrs.
Moses and Caesar Cone first organ
ized the business at Proximity, the
speaker clearly outlined each step
in the progress of the mills. Only
two years after the Company was
organized, the mills manufactured
two and a quarter millions yards of
denims. Mr. Cone said the 1922
output for both mill villiages was
120.000,000 yards of denims. In
order to get the mills to the pres
ent capacity the number of looms
has been increased from 250 to
6,600 in 25 years.
Mr. Cone contrasted the mills of
New England with the mills of the
South and it could be easily seen
that the two brothers, Moses and
Caesar Cone had many difficulties
to overcome.
In giving the reasons for success
in every way, Mr. Cone said that
while his brothers did want money
that was not all. Above everything
else they wanted "glory of achieve
ment." Mr. Moses was the finan
cier and Mr. Caesar was the manu
facturer. Mr. Moses Cone did not
draw one dollar from the pay
roll or dividends for twelve years,
but he put everything into the busi
ness.
Mr. Cone expressed the fact that
the mill villiages were second to
none in education, schools, welfare
departments, Y M C. A's. and vari
ous other organizations. In speak
ing of the educational progress Mr.
Cone said that the mill villiages
now have three schools for the white
children and one for the colored.

CIVITAN CLUB ENDORSES
ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN
The Greensboro Civitan Club at
its regular meeting last Thursday
indorsed the Endowment Campaign
of Guilford College with a unani
mous vote. This action followed ad
dresses by Dr. Perisho and Dr. Bin
ford. The former talked along the
line of the benefit that Greensboro
derived from Guilford.
"Every college," he said "needs
a city and every city needs a college.
Is there any relation between the
oldest educational institution of
Guilford county and Greensboro?"
Then the speaker plunged into his
address and when he sat down there
was no doubt in the minds of the
audience that there was a very defi
nite relationship between Guilford
college and Greensboro.
Dr. Binford then gave a brief
talk on how the expenses of the col
lege, along with other business had
increased, especially in the last ten
years and that something definite
had to be done.

ESTHER BAIRD TALKS OF
INDIAN CONDITIONS
Miss Eher Baird, a Friend, who
has spent 30 years in Central India
as a missionary, discussed the India
situation in a very interesting way
at chapel Monday morning. "All
schools of India," said Miss Baird,
"have been established by the Brit
ish government or the missionaries.
Better sanitary conditions, railroads,
and in general better living condi
tions are the result of the British
rule."
Miss Baird then gave an interest
ing description of the character
and methods of Mahatma Ghandi,
the Indian revolutionary leader. "He
was a recruiting officer for the Brit
ish army during the World War"
explained Miss Baird, "and was con
verted to the doctrine of non-com
batance, when home rule was re
fused to India."
Continuing, Miss Baird stated that
the common people of India in their
superstition believe Ghandi to be
the incarnation of their god Wishun,
His policy is that of non-coopera
tion. Railroads and hospitals are
works of the devil, doctors are his
servants according to Ghandi. The
work of this man and his fellow agi
tators in playing upon the super
j stitions of the natives has caused the

Lose To Wake Forest By Four
Points
The quint of the Crimson and
Gray, one of the best basket ball
teams, put out by Guilford in
recent years, by defeating N. C.
Slate, 24-21 and The University
of South Carolina, 35-20 won two
out of the three games played on
the home floor last week. The last
game which was lost to Wake For
j est by a narrow margin of four
points was the first game that the
Quakers have taken the little end of
the score out of six played .The to
tal number of points picked up by
Ihe Guilford five about doubles
those annexed by the opposing
teams.
Coach Doak's basket ball machine
came through a rough week with
two victories out of three possible
ties. Three powerful teams were
pitted against Guilford on her home
floor, which gave the lovers of the
game a definite knowledge of the
strength. N. C. State was the first
of the last week's visitors to go'
down under the onslaught of the
Guilford five, by a 24 to 21 score.
Closely following State came The
University of South Carolina who
stopped long enough to accept a
defeat, at the hands of Guilford, bv
the good margin of 35-20. The last
game in which Wake Forest nosed
out ahead was the first game that
the Crimson and Gray have lost out
of six played.
The most interesting game, that
has been seen on the local floor
for many seasons, was the one
played lar-t week against N. C.
State. At no time in the fray
did either team let up in their des
