February 25, 1931 QUAKER SPORTS QUAKES H. S. W'ms., Jr. Fans at the High Point game the other night certainly were treated to a rare thrill to say nothing of a brilliant basketball game. It was only after a check and double check of the score books that it was determined that Chisholm's last minute dash down the court had resulted in the score which won the game for the Quakers. Coach Anderson's squad had quite a bit of hard luck on their trip last week. They suffered defeat at the hands of the Catawba Indians and the Mountaineers of Appalachian, winning only one game, and this by default from the Lenoir-Rhyne team on account of the illness of Coach Gurley's wife. We notice that despite adverse weather condition, Pop Shepherd's track squad has been getting into form for the spring season. Out standing among the candidates are: Philips, Allen, Harper, Wellons and Tonge all dash men. Others are showing up well and things look rosy for a good track season. Coach Shepherd plans to take en tries to the Southern conference Indoor meet at U. N.

SO. SIDE HDWE. CO. Frankie Is A Regular Riot When He's L Do we all know that we have on our campus one of the best cheer leaders in collegiate ranks? It really doesn't seem that we do. If all Guil ford College, including the faculty, could have seen Frankie get those yells off at Elon, they would realize it. After that game compliments were handed to the little scamp who led the cheers. They came from people who had been places, and seen things. One man, holding degrees, from both Princeton and Georgia Universities, came into the dressing room and said, COACH NOAHS SQUAD DEFEATS STAR CRITICS Opening Performance Of The Warblers Was Riot From Start To Finish CAP'N CONRAD FEATURES On the night of February 23 the sport fans of Greensboro and vicinity were treated to what might be term ed the sports classic of the century as the crimson avalanche from Guil ford College swung into action against a picked team of Greensboro all star critics at the Odell Memorial stadium. The stands were packed. The vari ous beautiful colors in which the enormous crowd of 37 people were decked tended to remind one of a five and ten cent store notion counter. Peanut venders and soft drink ped dlers shouted their wares. The Guil ford College Faculty section warmed up with a few rousing snores. The curtain raised to find the Col legians, arrayed in their bright new uniforms preparing to kickoff. The whistle sounded and the first ball was thrown in. The drive was long and low, but sliced into the rough. How ever, Coach Noah signalled for a squeeze play and the whole left side of the forward wall charged through like tractors. The first quarter was a thriller. The spectators were held in suspense by the slashing line play of the Fighting Quakers. Glenn Robertson, their shapely half-back dazed the op position by his off tackle thrusts, with Lindley and Turner running in terference. The drive resulted in a run near the last of the inning and then the side was retired and the critics came to bat. Their huge center failed to outjump Hill on the tip off. Immediately aft erward Frankie Allen rounded the last curve and came pounding down the homestretch to break the tape after which he made a wild throw to Tonge, who covered nicely and feint ed with his left, then let the critic have a one, two on the ear. Sonny Williams, receiving a low pass from center, attempted a line buck, but was smothered by the aroused opposition. At this time Cap tain J. Conrad came through with a beautiful line drive to left field, scor ing three more runs. Mush Barney, the Blond Blizzard, lost the opportunity of a lifetime to reinstate himself in the eyes of the home town folks by muffing several crip shots which rolled around the rim and dropped on the outside into the waiting arms of the opposition. The Quakers had no trouble holding their lead throughout the second half. A belated rally by the critics failed to even the score and the whistle blew as little Lucille Patterson landed a three pound speckled trout, using only a worm for bait.

I have never seen a better one at either of the universi ties I attended." This is a compliment well worth while, and should mean a lot to Guilford College as a whole. It seems that in order for him to even resemble a cheer leader, he has to buy clothes of his own to work in. The A. A. claims that they can't af ford the price of a suit. Just as a token of appreciation, what do you say if we, the student body, contrib ute enough money to dress him up in a snappy uniform? Guilford Quakers Defeat Panthers High Point Squad Plays Rough Game. But Unable To Rate Count ALLEY GETS 8 POINTS On Monday night of this week, Guilford College scored a close vic tory over High Point college in the Higl\ Point High School gymnasium. The affair was one of the roughest of the year, several times threaten ing to turn into a rough and tumble free for all. The Panthers started out well and grabbed a lead. The half ended with Guilford on the wrong end of a 10-7 score. During this half the Quakers gave the sorriest exhibition of bask et ball that they've presented all year. Their passes were inaccurate, their floor work all off, and their shots at the basket were feeble attempts. However, in the second half they started to get organized. They show ed flashes of old form and went into the lead at 20-16. Here the Pointers called time out afterwards the Quak ers ran the lead up to 24-18, but the High Point team started a rally that ended in the score being dead locked at 24 all. Just before the whistle blew Chish olm got the ball on a pass, dribbled through a maze of High Point men and hit the cords for the winning goal as the whistle blew. Line ups.

JUNIOR CLASS On Tuesday evening, February 17, Robert Wildman of Cedarville, Ohio, was elected president of the junior class at a call meeting, succeeding Alan White in this office. The newly elected president was away with the basketball team, of which he is a member, and the retiring head acted in his place as the class discussed business pertaining to the junior senior banquet. At the same meeting Dayton New lin of Saxapahaw, was chosen vice president by his classmates, and Jose phine Kimrey, Mebane, was elected secretary-treasurer of the class. "Spelling Bee" A t Church On Wednesday evening, February 11, a "Spelling Bee," under the aus pices of the Sunset Hill Missionary Circle, was held in New Garden Meet ing House. The purpose of the "Bee" was to raise money for the church. Quite a few community folk and college students were present. Pro fessor Samuel Haworth gave out the words, while the others formed a second inside wall in the church to spell. The old instinct of rivalry en tered in, and each one did his best to "spell down" the one next to him. During the evening refreshments consisting of cocoa, sandwiches, and ice cream, were served. Greensboro Hardware Co. HARDWARE OUR STORE WELCOMES YOU 221 S. Elm St. Greensboro, N. C. MR. GUY B. PHILLIPS GIVES EDUCATION TALK Present Legislation Involves Three Main Issues In Problem GARDNER TAKES STAND Guy B. Phillips, superintendent of the Greensboro city schools, told the students in chapel here this morning of three important steps which may be taken by the present legislature in connection with education within the state. "In tracing the history of educa tion in North Carolina," said Mr. Phillips, "it is interesting to note that following each forward step taken in this connection there has been a cor responding major advance in prog ress throughout the State. "At present our state is suffering from financial depression but this lack of prosperity is general over the whole of the United States. There are just as many natural resources in North Carolina as ever and there is plenty of wealth which is, for the present, unavailable. This wealth is not evenly distributed over the whole of the state and there is an idea pre vailant that the educational burden should be shared equally by all sec tions. "Regardless of the fact that condi tions are not as bad as they have been pictured there are a number of men down in Raleigh who are doing nothing but trying to impress the leg islators with our poverty. These men are blinded by propaganda which has been spread during the period of financial difficulty. For the most part, this work is being done through the agents of North Carolina capitalists who wish to have a reduction in the tax levied for the support of the school system. "In spite of the agitation for less expenditure on schools there has been practically no mention made of a re duction in the amount to be spent for the support of roads. This notwith standing the fact that as many peo ple have been attracted to our state by our splendid schools as have by our roads. "The primary interest of the pres ent legislature is to save money. In order to do this in regard to educa tion three main issues have arisen. The first of these has to do with the teaching load of the teacher in the state. At present this figure rests at thirty-five based upon the average attendance. The proposal is to raise this figure to forty-five, also to be based upon per cent of attendance. This would mean that each teacher would have fifty-five or sixty enroll ed in her room. Fortunately, someone wiser than they knew, made it prac tically impossible for such a step to be taken for more than ninety per cent of the school rooms in the state were built to accommodate no more than the present number of students alloted to each teacher. "The second point has to do with a proposed ten per cent cut in the sal ary of all teachers. Governor Gard ner has taken a very definite stand on this issue and has said that when the salaries of all public officials shall be cut in the same proportion then it will be time for a similar cut in the incomes of teachers. "The last and perhaps the most im portant issue has to do with local au tonomy. There is a movement on foot to have the North Carolina school term limited to six months all over the state and to prohibit any local aid. This would mean that the schools of Greensboro would be placed upon the same level as the poorest school in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The lower the best is per mitted to sink the still lower will the worst go. "It is the duty of you in this group as people who are almost of voting age and as people who will play an important part in the affairs of your community to think over these ques tions and to help what shall be the future of education within our state." "Oh, I can see the letters all right," replied the patient, "but I can't pro nounce the blooming word." Patronize Tlio.se wlio Patronize Us It's Just a few more weeks until Easter.

Elm Street Quakers Defeat Christians In Exciting Last Minute Rally FRANKIE NEEDS A SUIT TO DO HIS CHEERING IN The Basketball team has started something that should be a real movement if we are capable of showing our appreciation for the best expression of school spirit any one individual has shown. Frankie Allen is a regular cheer leader. But what the fellows have decided that he needs just at pres ent is a new suit to do his cheering in! The crimson and grey sweater helps out lots, but the youngster had to buy it himself to make things seem like Guilford had a go-getter for pep stimulation. So now the least thing we can do is to dress him up with a nifty "meg," pants, et cetera—(whatever that means). Bob Jamieson and Elvin Ha worth will receive all contributions. And say, we're leaving this up to the general public—Are we going to show our regard for the kid who has helped pull the team out of some mighty big holes? Quakers Defeat Greensboro "Y" Guilford Turns Hack Gate City Cagers In Slow Contest By Steady Scoring CHEEK IS HIGH SCORER The Quakers defeated Greensboro "Y" 29-22, Wednesday night, Feb ruary 18, in a game that provided little excitement. The Guilford scrubs played the greater part of the con test. The collegians superiority was evi dent throughout, even with the ab sence of Captain Alley from the line up. Guilford led during the entire game. Tom Cheek was high scorer for the Quakers with eleven points, being trailed by Jamieson with ten. Pur nell and Milner showed up best for the reserves. Houek was the sole threat of Greensboro with twelve points, more than half of his team's total score. This is the second time this season that Guilford has beaten the "Y" team.

High Point, N. C. SPORTING GOODS TRACK BASKETBALL BASEBALL r Page Three Elon Leads Quakers At Half But Visitors Rally CHISHOLM TIES SCORE Guilford Basketeers Turn Back Elon On Latters Court By 6 Points On the night of February 14, the Quaker basketball team invaded the Elon gym and treated a large crowd to some real basketball. The game was no setup. It remained close throughout and the winner remained in doubt until the last few minutes. However, the Guilford team, han dicapped by playing in a strange, pe culiarly built gym, outfought the op position through the major portion of the game. They were much more ac curate at shooting, making a much larger percentage of their shots than did the Christians. Nevertheless the Elonites had an 8-5 lead at the half. The second half saw some real basketball, including numerous fouls. Near the end of the game, Alley and Haworth both sunk two pointers to tie the score at fourteen up. Jones, of Elon, gave his team a two point lead with a nice shot. By this time the crowd was keyed up to such a pitch of excitement as we've seldom seen. When Chisholm sent a long one through the air to drop through the cords the Elon backers groaned, while the hopes of the forty or fifty Guilford rooters soared. After that the visitors got six points in a hurry and ended a game that was well worth winning. The Guilford team was better that night than any team it's been our pleasure to witness romp the hard woods for this institution. It might also be in order to men tion the work done by the few loyal rooters who accompanied the team to Elon. They were outnumbered six to one, but they showed the Elon root ers how a crowd should yell. Lineups: Guilford: G. P. TP.
