March 8, 1941 QUAKES 8,, CARRUTHERS and TAYLOR Catawba pulled the biggest upset in the recent North State basket ball tournament at High Point when it defeated the highly favored High Point Panthers. The Indians played Appalachian in the finals and gave the Mountaineers a great battle before falling before the consistent shooting of Miller and Novotny. Our freshman basketball team deserves a lot of overdue praise for their past season. The first year men won three games this year and should prove to be a big help to Coach Smith's varsity team next year. Johns and Schoellkopf were outstanding among the frosh eagers. Highlight of the opening night of the intramural basketball tourna ment was the "Wrong-Way Corrigan" act pulled by "Mo" Mc- Millan. Upon receiving the ball from a fellow Centerite, Freck gallop ed to the opposing team's basket amid the wild cheers of everyone, especially Buck and Mackie. With a graceful leap he tossed the ball, but failed to ring the basket. This did not dampen the spirits of Freck a bit and so he made another unsuccessful attempt at the basket. Some of these big eating athletes around here should find some of the members of the home economics department who baked the cakes for the session at which the junior speeches were given. They were really good cakes and everyone enjoyed them very much. Don't forget the Monogram club dance next Saturday night, in the gym. The dance was previously set for March 22, but it has been moved to the 15th. A good orchestra will furnish music and so it will be the outstanding soeial event of the spring. Tickets may be secured from any Monogram club member, and so all Guilfordians, buv your tickets early! All participants in the ping-pong tournament should play their games as soon as possible, because the tournament has to be run off by spring vacation. Take notice, anti-subsidizationists! A new sport has been uncovered on the campus which should appeal to you. Bring your bag of marbles over to New North any Sunday morning and we will send our boy, Mendinhall, the campus champ, into the ring with you. P. S.—He plays for keeps. Among the more prominent spectators at the opening night of the intramurals were the "Three Stooges," commonly known on the cam pus as Dr. Ljung, Dr. Purdom, and Dr. Williams. We commend these three for their interest in the intramural program as well as other sports activities. The scores of the games resembled pitchers' battles—6-3, 8-7, 10-9. What's going on behind closed doors concerning the intercollegiate activities for next year? We read in the Daily News a few weeks ago of the possibility of offering scholarships to athletes. A few days later we read in the Record that Guilford may "throw in the towel as far as intercollegiate activities are concerned. Which is right? Don't we, as students, deserve to know the truth ? We really think that subsidization would he best, because it would give Coach Smith some good material, which he has deserved, on which to build a winning team. Campus Polls Cull Opinions On Leadership, Curriculum (Continued from Page Our) for improvement. These questionnaires have been circulated in the dormitories by Edna Earle Edgerton (Mary llobbs hall), Grace Itcittel (Founders). Gol danna Cramer (The Pines), and Ito lierta Shepherd (The Kent House). Young men tilled out the blanks at the Dean's office when they received their grades. Edna Earle Edgerton's survey project is a part of her senior thesis, the sub ject of which is, "Distinguishing Char acteristics of Leadership: A Study with Selected Students at Guilford College." To Sirs. Milner's Philosophy class, Mr. Fink's Educational Psychol ogy class, and chosen faculty mem bers, Edna Earle has distributed mim eographed sheets containing names of the leaders of ten major campus or ganizations, ten other members of the senior class (chosen at random) who may posess traits of good leadership, and a list of the 25 qualities possessed by a good leader. Her purpose is to discover whether or not our campus lenders really possess the qualities of leadership or whether they acquired i Complete Line of Varsity \ and Sport Sweaters COBLE SPORTING GOODS CO. 344 S.

Then, by working out the correlation between opinions of faculty members and stu dents, Edna Earle. n psychology major, can satisfactorily complete the last half of her thesis, the first part dealing with leaders iu general, requirements, training, and hazards. Miss Gilbert Discusses Dickinson at E. C. T. C. Miss Dorothy Lloyd Gilbert, of the Guilford faculty, spoke to the English club of Eastern .Carolina Teachers' college at Greenville, N".

IT'S GOOD THE GUILFORDIAN Baseballers Start Practice Grind; Slate 19 Games; Begins March 31 Gwyn Paces Battlers In Ping-Pong Ladder As Favorites Loaf Dark-horse P.ill Gywn got a head start on the rest of the ping-pong field by battling his way into the semi finals this week with a rubber-game victory over Robert Register, his op ponent in the quarter-finals of the upper bracket. Meanwhile the favorites won but lagged behind in their schedule. "Zero" Davis went into the quarter-final round in the lower bracket as did highly rated Martin Lebenstein. Don Me- Auslan faces Charlie Hill in the upper division in the round of 10. The winner of the McAuslan-Hill go will take on the Carter-Nolan vic tor in the quarter-finals, the survivor of the four to meet Gw.vn In the semi finals. Lebenstein must defeat the win ner of the Shell-Stephenson match to get to the round of four. Sleepy Wal ters will face the winner of the Til ley-Mendlnliall set-to, the winner meet ing Davis for the fourth semi-final post. Davis, Lebenstein and MeAuslan are heavy favorites to join Gwyn in the crucial round. Play ends before spring vacation. ATHLETTES By PETE and WEEZ The basketball tournament ended a week ago last Friday when Margaret Jones' team beat Dot Edgerton's sex tet. The final score was 7-1. Good guarding 011 both sides accounted for tiie low score, we were told. We also heard that this game was more or less an up-set. With the inter-dormitory tournament out of the way, the athlettes are get ting down to business with class games. Each class will .get a chance to play each team. This should make basketball more exciting, since there will lie more games than last year. The badminton tournament will start next week, with both singles and dou bles play. All entrants were required to sign mi by yesterday afternoon — we hope no one forgot. This tourna ment. should rouse as much interest as did basketball. The modern dance group attended the dance symposium at Woman's col lege last Saturday. This was tlie first symposium held in the south.

The harriers got their outfits Thursday and set about the business of preparing for the season. Parkers Top Scoring For Bad (age Season Guilford closed a fairly bad basket ball season, winding up on the bottom of a fast North State conference. Two of the higher teams in the conference defeated Duke's Southern conference champions by impressive scores. Jesse Parker was the high scorer for the Quakers, but he was closely followed by James Parker. The next high scorers were Shell, Menghetti, and Hartley. Although Jack Hartley did not ap pear 011 the team until the season was about over, lie livened up the game a great deal with his brilliant floor play. Guilford won two games this year and came within three points of heat ing Catawba and High Point. The Quakers defeated Farmers' Dairy 33-27, and Siler City by the impressive score of 48-28.
