Christians Make It Two
Straight Over Guilford
BOLES IS HURLER
Game Is Spotted by Numerous
Errors by Both Elon and
the Quakers.
ABBITT LEADING HITTER
Game in Greensboro on Easter Monday
Will Provide Much Action
for Spectators.
Last Wednesday afternoon Elon de
feated Guilford by the score of 6-4 on
the Burlington baseball diamond. The
batteries were: for Guilford, Boyles
and Boles; for Elon, Shelton and Fuller.
These boys are looked upon as the best
in the conference in their respective
positions.
Elon scored one run in the second
half of the first inning, while Guilford
did not score until their half of the
second, to tie the score. Elon again
scored in their half of the fourth, and
Guilford retaliated with two to tie the
score once more of three-all. The jntch
ors then put on the pressure, which kept
the game tied until Elon went to bat
in the seventh frame to make three
more runs and sew up the game.
Both teams made their share of the
errors, causing most of the runs to be
made on. this account. Although the
game was considered a good one, there
was no reason for the poor playing
which showed clearly in spots. The
ground was also responsible for part
of them, and this added many thrills
to the spectators.
Boles and Fuller fought it out. Last
year, Boles was given the edge, but
Fuller gained revenge by accounting for
the game last Wednesday. If these two
boys meet again, which is very prob
able, on Easter Monday, the spectators
will more than likely be in for quite a
bit of action and rivalry. The Quakers
are out to win the Easter Monday game,
it being the last game of the season
with Elon.
Nace is living up to the reputation
he has gained thus far in the season by
accounting for his share of the hits.
He received four for four when they
encountered High Point at the begin
ning of the week, and gaining two for
four in the last game with the Chris
tians.
Amos Slielton and "Jack Rabbit" Ab
bitt starred for the Christians as Abbitt
wielded out two nice hits with three
times at the plate, and Slielton did
excellent work behind the bat, which
he has been doing consistently this year.
Tilson again played a nice game as
shortstop, aided by Phillips, llines, and
Graves. Lin White, for the first time,
broke into the Guilford line-up. making
a good showing for himself in right
field.
Barrow, the boy from Elon who scored
the winning run in the previous meet
inn; of these two teams, attain last
Thursday afternoon won the game by
ripping out a clean double, which scored
three runs.

NON - HONOR ROLL
STUDENTS CONSOLED
Consolation for those of us
whose grades were less satisfactory
for the third quarter than for the
previous semester is offered in the
statement of Miss Era Lasle.v,
registrar, that "the jiuarter grades
are never as good as the .semester
grades, although very often there
are some poorer grades for the se
mester than for the quarter. Hotli
facta may be true because the pro
fessors have more on which to base
the semester grades than they do
those of the quarter."
Honors for scholarship for the
past quarter go to Catherine Beit
tel. new Women's Student Govern
ment president, who was the only
person to make a record of all A's.
She was followed by three students
who got all A's but one, Patricia
Hopkins, Winfred Meibohm and
Guy Thomas. Thirty-one made all
A's and It's, while four were listed
in the all B's section.
The opposite end of the scholar
ship totalled 01, which when added
to the 39 on the better section,
makes a total of 100. This leaves
218 average students from Guil
ford's family of 318.
QUAKER SPORTS
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
MAKES NEW CAGE RULES
As a result of the widespread
criticism by coaches of the new
rules of basketball made last year
it was decided by the National
Association of Basketball Coaches
that the following five rules would
take effect next year.
1. An increase in the number of
times out from four to five.
2. An optional use of four 10-
minute quarters instead of the
usual 20-minute halves. Giving the
players two minutes' rest between
first and second and the third and
fourth quarters.
3. An exemption of the outer
half of the foul circle from pro
visions of the "three second" rule
so that a player not in possession
of the ball in that territory may
remain more than three seconds
without penalty.
4. The prohibiting of substitu
tions immediately following a goal
and before the ball is tossed into
play from the end zone, unless a
team has called time out.
5. The permission of the exten
sion of the end mnrgin of the
court from two feet to four feet
from the face of the back board.

CHOIR LADS AND LASSIES
"REJOICE AND MERRY BE"
(Continued From Page One)
On the bus exciting games of "I
doubt it" usually circulated around the
tenors, probably because they were tile
most doubtful : then, of course, there
was time for more intellectual games
such as "Truth and Consequences." "Do
You Know So and So" and "Does She
Cackle." To the utter dismay of the
refined, some ignorant non-soloist in
sisted on singing heavy numbers en
route, such as the famous Beethoven
Symphony, "That Silver Haired Daddy
of Mine." and Bach's superb "Dnrlin'
Yon Can't Love But One."
All this entertainment was usually
interrupted by a casual suggestion that
perhaps it was time to be stopping.
Biding long distances naturally causes
pangs of hunger and thirst conse

a long line waiting for cold drinks, too.

(when he so unfortunately missed
hearing their beautifully blended voices
at Warm Springs) suggested putting
the Guilford College A Capella Choir

THE GUILFORIHAN
QUAKES
You read for Hie last time the Quakes
written by "Ken" Morris in the Guil
fordiaa preceding this one. "Casey"
deserves a big hand for his excellent
work during the past year, and your
new editor hopes to uphold this prece
dent. I wish to state that all criticism
or suggestions us to the handling of
this page will be greatly appreciated
by your correspondent, because after
all this is the students' paper.
The tennis team met with success on
their Florida trip by winning two and
losing one. We trust that Petrea's court
game is as good as his courting (we've
heard that Katie has a good backhand).
Casey, we wonder if your choice of
girls off-campus is as good as it is on ;
and how about that bottle of milk you
won from the punch-board? All kid
ding aside, we're mighty proud of these
five boys who wield the racquets for the
old Alma Mater and are looking for
ward to a bright future for the team
this season.
From indications of the Klon games
and the one with High Point, Guilford's
baseball team is going to cause 110 little
worry to the top-notchers in the con
ference, and with "Unc" and Acree
doing exceedingly well on the mound,
we may be one of the "Big Boys" our
selves. We have been hearing that
Guilford may not have the best team
in the conference, but she certainly lias
the hardest fighting. You spectators
remember that when the boys are losing,
and try your best to show them that
you are behind them with all you can
possibly give.
We wish to congratulate Gilmoro
Boles for winning the trophy awarded
by Coach Smith to the best all-around
sport in intra-mural basketball. "G-Man"
received a majority vote, followed close
ly by Bob Hire —nice going, boys, you
are a credit to your sections.
It has been said that Miss Weston
is quite handy with a baseball bat, and
is receiving a few points from our star
pitcher 011 Sunday afternoon. Is it true,
Roy, that you have gone in for "Lawn
Baseball"!
Well, boys, our May King has finally
been selected and it is no other than
our "Oozzie" Weyll. Oscar took the
majority vote by a large margin and
your correspondents believe that this
was caused by the motherly look on
his face, or maybe it was that Yankee
Stadium personality smile used more
or less as a solicitor for votes Take
care, girls, don't let the elaborate dis
play of masculinity steal the show. A
little bird lias whispered that some very
attractive ballets are being arranged
on East campus.

Pictured above is the Quaker tennis team which emerged
from a recent Florida trip with a winning score of two victories
against a single defeat. The netmen shown above are, from left
to right, Jim Parsons, Capt. J. D. Bowman, Howard Petrea, Ken
Morris, and Hughes Davis.
QUAKER NETMEN
BEAT APPALACHIAN
Win Their First North State
Conference Tennis Match
by Score of 5 to 2.
PARSONS IS BRILLIANT
On April 0, tlie Mountaineers of
Appalachian bowed to a classy Quaker
combination in an initial North State
conference encounter for the local
racket wielders. The score was sto 2,
and resulted in Guilford's third win in
four contests of the new season. Many
fans turned out to watch the pro
cedure.
In one of the most exciting matches
of the afternoon, Jim Parsons of Guil
ford, fell victim to the powerful fore
hand of McGinnis, of Appalachian; the
scores being 4-0, 7-T>, and 3-0. Parsons
played the finest tennis of his net ca
reer at Guilford, and gave his opponent
plenty to worry about throughout the
entire frame.
Petrea had an easy win over Stuart,
coming out 011 the top of a 0-3, l-3,
push-over. Marvelous playing also put
Hugh Davis 011 the happy side of a 0-3,
0-3 win over Tliornlmrg, of Appa
lachian.
The turning point of the contest came
when Ken Morris edged out an impres
sive win over Tucker, 0-4, ">-7. and 0-3.
Morris is one of the new additions to
the Quaker ranks, having beaten Rogers
of Greensboro, in a playoff for the
trailing position 011 the team.
Bowman, Quaker captain, manager
and coach, also turned in a smooth
performance in taking Ilahn 0-4, 4-0,
and 0-2. Bowman has a pack of dyna
mite in every drive; and he seems to
be keeping up his fine record of last
year when lie won nine out of ten con
tests.
111 the doubles Parsons and Davis
took Tucker and Ilahn for a joy-ride,
and won many compliments as a result
of their excellent performance. Bow
man and Petrea were a little less for
tunate and bowed to a 0-4, 0-3 pound
ing by McGinnis and Tliornlmrg, of
Appalachian.

The Guilford netmen won their first

the following day they dropped a close

over the Quakers.
Tilson made the only tally garnered
by the locals in the first inning when
