ONE OUT OF THREE IN
PAST WEEK S RATTLES
Falls.. Before ..Trinity ..Slugging
Hands One to Lynchburg
Romps Oo Elon
One victory and two defeats is
the way the Quaker baseball score
card looks after last week's battles.
She won from Elon 6-5 and lost to
Trinity 11-1 and to Lynchburg 5-1.
Guilford's sole victory of the past
week looked for the first three in
nings like the Christians' game
Carboy's men started the work by
sending three men across the rubber
in the first inning and two more in
the next two. The tide of fortune
shifted in the the sixth, when the
Doak bunch covered Barker in a
shower of hits, two of them for
three sacks and one for two. This
sally gave the Crimson and Gray
nine, four markers. In the seventh
frame they tied the score and in the
ninth, with some artful base stealing
by Hayworth and a bunt by Winn
Guilford took the second game of
the year from Elon and won the
series
On Tuesday, the day before
Elon's fall, the lads of Guilford
fell a victim to the Trinity twirler,
Sanderson, who held the Quakers
to two hits. On the other hand the
Methodists seemed to have no
trouble in pounding the two Quaker
moundmen for 11 hits, which neted
them the same number of runs.
Guilford's only marker came when
Burge lined out a circuit drive.
The Lynchburg game in which the
Guilfordians took the unity end of
a 5-1 score was featured by the
hitting of the Quaker boys, the
pitching of Ferrell and the excellent
infield work of the Virginians. In
the second inning three Lycnhburg
ers filled the bags by a series of
hits and errors. Hayworth attempt
ing trick play made a wild throw
to second and the three men on
bases rubbered. Guilford's score
came in the ninth when Block Smith
tagged on a fly.
Frances Garner, ex-'25, from N.
C. C. W., spent the week end with
Lucile Moore.

PROGRESS WATCHWORD OF
COLLEGE PRESS MEETING
Problem of College Papers and
Magazines Are Discussed
"A bigger, better, progressive col
legiate press," was the theme of the
sixth semi-annual convention of the
North Carolina Collegiate Press as
sociation, April 19-21, at Queen's
College, Charlotte.
Dan Grant, of the University of
North Carolina, the originator of
the association, placed its origin and
purpose before the convention at its
first meeting, to which the delegates
were welcomed by Dr. W. H. Fra
zer, president of the college. Mr.
Grant's idea was two-fold: to es
tablish friendly co-operative rela
tions between the colleges of the
state, and to better the collegiate
press. The college owes to North
Carolina all it can, do in encourag
ing free thinking and expression by
the people, through its newspapers
and magazines.
Advertising as related to the col
lege magazine was the subject of
an address by T. C. Neal, the ad
vertising manager of the Charlotte
Observer. In illustrating the tre
mendous power of advertising, Mr.
Neal insisted that good advertising
must have character. The college
press is assuming proportions which
make it valuable to the advertiser,
both local and national, and should
refuse all so-called "charity" adver-
tisements.
"The future of the college maga
zine depends on its appeal to the

LEAGUE OF NATIONS IS
ENDORSED BY DR. HOBBS
Dr. Hobbs, in his chapel talk of
last Friday, discussed the recent
visit of Lord Robert Cecil of Eng
land to the United States.
"No visitor in recent years has
attracted so much attention," said
Dr. Hobbs, "As Lord Robert Cecil
who came to America on the invita
iton of the Foreign Policy associa
tion. Further, he is perhaps the
best qualified man to speak about
the league of Nations, since he
helped frame the covenant, and has
been a member of the League as
sembly since its beginning."
"According to this distinguished
English visitor, 110 country will be
safe should there be another war,"
the speaker continued, "For war
destroyed all the civilizations of the
past, and there can be no security
or permanent peace while the na
tions remain armed and aggressive."
"The purpose of the League" said
Dr. Hobbs, "Is to bring about this
moral and material disarmament."
"According to Lord Cecil," said
Dr. Hobbs in, conclusion, "The cen
tral idea of the League of Nations
is a system of international con
ferences and co-operation, not de
pending on coercing but without
coercion, without force, without any
intereference with the sovereignty of
full independence and freedom of
action of any of its members; work
ing not for any selfish interests, but
for the establishment of better and
more brotherly relations between the
nations and for the establishment
of peace upon the earth."

DR. ROBERT MAC GOWAN
NOTED SCOTCH LECTURER
ENDS LYCEUM COURSE
Religion. Mist and Porridge Sup
ply Elements of Ssotch
Nature
Religion, Mist and Porridge, these
are the three ingredients which
make up Scotch manhood and wo
manhood, according to Dr. Robert
MacGowan, who in speaking on
"The Canny Scot —His Life and
Literature, in Memorial hall, April
18, proved himself a delightful hu
morist and lecturer.
"The Scot's religion," he said, "is
part of the Scot himself. Many
people are guilty of three big mis
takes. First, they mistake their
bodies for their souls; second, they
mistake time for eternity; third,
they mistake themselves for God.
"Out of these three mistakes grow
wrong ideas, and some people are
not agreed how all things come
about. The Scotch man on the
other hand does not care where man
came from, nor what the process of
his being may be so long as he
knows God is behind it all. This
constitutes his religious belief.
Concerning the second ingredient
"Mist," Dr. MacGowan said, "The
Scotchman is at home among his
mists. He does not shut his doors
and windows against it as do other
people." Just as he is with tempor
al mists so is he toward mortal
mists, spiritual and intellectual. In
stead of trying to avoid them he
takes them as they come, knowing
they cannot be blown away.
"The Scotchman," he pointed out,
"has never been a professional
fighter. He has always fought with
his head instead of his feet. One
of our mistakes today is the fail
ure to put our brains through the
gymnastics of the college class
room."
The Scotchman works with hand,
feet, teeth and brains at the same
time. He would rather end with a
bang than start with one.
"I thank God," said Dr. Mac-

GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS
AWADED TO 2 SENIORS
Ruth Reynolds, Randleman, N. C.,
and J. Spot Taylor, of Danbury,
N. C., of the class of '23, have been
recommended by the authorities of
Guilford college as the winners of
the Bryn Mawr and Haverford col
lege scholarship respectively.
These scholarships are awarded
annually to graduates of the senior
class. The winners are chosen on
their merits of character, originality,
student qualifications and future pos
sbilities.
In the case of the Bryn Mawr a
scholarship amounts to $400.00
while that of Haverford amounts to
$300.00.
The winners of the present year
bid fair to stand high in the list
of those who have so ably rep
resented Guilford in the past in
these higher institutions of learning.

FOREST CONSERVATION
DISCUSSED AT CHAPEL
'Annually the American Forest as
sociation sends fifteen to eighteen
thousand pounds of forest seed to
France and Belgium, not counting
the amount which England receives,"
said Dr. Perisho in his chapel
talk of last Monday.
"Thus we are helping to repair
the devastations of war in the Argo
rine forest where many a brave
American lies in his last resting
place; thus we are attempting to
close up the wounds of war, the
shell torn and barbed wire disfig
ured ground near Verdun and
Chateau Thierry," continued Dr.
Perisho.
"Americans also, might learn a
valuable lesson in forest conserva
tion from France and Germany,"
asserted the speaker, "for in these
countries no man can cut down or
sell a tree without a government
permit. While Americans plant
one tree for every four they cut,
no tree is cut in England unless
another is planted in its stead."
In a graphic way Dr. Perisho
then showed the economical use of
forest products by the French and
Germans as compared with the
heedless, reckless waste of the
great Ameriacn asset —her forests.
"Let us continue our work of
helping to repair the horrid scars
of war and likewise let us preserve
what is left of our magnificent
patrimony of the giants of the
green forest," con luded the speak
er.
Charlotte Highs Win Cup
In Interscholastic
Track Events
McIVER OF CHAPEL HILL
STARS
Charlotte high school captured
the honors with a total of 31 points
over Winston-Salem's and Chapel
Hill's 20 points in the annual High
School Day track meet held at Guil
ford college Saturday, April 21.
Unofficially two state high school
records and a tie for another mark
ed the high spots in the results of
the day. Eighteen schools regis
tered for entries in the track and
field events and a total of 232 en
trants in the various events of the
day.
Guilford college put across one
of the most successful track meets
in the state this year and the great
est in her history. Friday night,
contestants began to arrive in large
numbers and over 60 were signed
up before the opening of registra
tion on Saturday. Every available
resource of the entertainment com
mittee was taxed to its utmost to
take care of the visiting students
and coaches, who before the day
was over, numbered 232 with many
visitors not registered.
The athletics were unusually suc
cessful from every point. Several
stete high school sport records were
broken. S. Mclver of Chapel Hill
broke the state record for discus,
throwing the discus 110 feet 7
inches. He also tied with the es
tablished record for high jumping
by going over the rod in a high
jump at a height of 5 ft. 8 in.
Thomas of Charlotte made a rec
ord of 20 ft. 5 in. in a broad jump,
thus smashing the record previously
established of 20 ft. 2 in.
The girls' basket ball team of
Leaksville won over Pomona by a
score of 30 to 4, and in turn defeat
