March 24, 1945 QUAKES By JOHN HAWORTH ALL-STAR GAME The North State Conference inaugu rated a policy early this month that may become an annual affair, when an all-star team was selected to play Ca tawba, loop champions, in a post-season affair. This year, the contest was ar ranged by Scoop MeCrary, sports edi tor of the Salisbury Post, and Coach Gordon Kirkland of the Catawba club as a warm-up for the Tribe in prepara tion for its trip to Kansas City and the national tournament. Three players were selected from each of the conference schools except Atlan tic Christian, too far away to send men, and schools participated save Elon. Shore Neal, head mentor at Lenolr- Ithyne, coached the team, which made a good showing despite the fact that the aggregation had never played as a unit before, losing to the Indians by 44-35. Altogether, the affair turned out to he very successful. Too much praise cannot be meted out to the hospitable Catawbans, while Coach Neal did an excellent job of handling the visiting team for the contest. The officials. Clint Hippie and Broadus Culler, now intlelder of the Boston Braves, both marked a good game, and came In for their share of the laurels for making the occasion the success it was. In the future, this event can be made an Important one in State basketball circles, especially if more time is given to its planning, and the all-star team has a chance to practice together. The contest will bear especial significance if, In years to come, the North State champion goes to Kansas City after the official season has closed and the champion cannot schedule warm-up contests. War Veterans Employment Nearly twenty thousand visits of World War I and II veterans—l9.Bs3 — in the two months of January and Feb ruary were recorded in the local and branch offices of the U. S. Employment Service of the War Manpower Commis sion, Or. J. S. Dorton, State WMC di rector, reveals. This does not mean that nearly 20,000 different veterans visited the USES offices, since the figures include many repeaters, veterans who made more than one visit to the offices for some service they needed. Uouglily, 95 per cent of the veterans handled in the I'SES offices are of World War 11. the percentage Increas ing as more veterans are released from service. Referred to local jobs were 5,307 of the veterans and placements were veri fied in 3,358 cases during the two months. Of these, 425 were veterans with some handicap, physical or mental. Of the placements, 101 were made ill local office areas outside those in which the veterans registered for work. As sistance was given in 807 other cases in which veterans were placed on jobs. In cooperation with other agencies charged with assisting veterans in their rehabilitation efforts, the I'SKS offices directed veterans to agencies which have suitable services to offer during (he two months of January and Feb ruary. as follows: Veterans Adminis tration, 717 : State Vocational Rehabili tation. 91 : Selective Service, 143: train ing agencies. 84; and other agencies, 424. "It is particularly gratifying that so many veterans visit the local I'SES offices, for services which the I'SES can supply them," said Dr. Dorton. "The nearly 20.0(H) visits iu two months indicate the value placed l>y the vet erans on the help they can receive from our offices throughout the State." Cowhide Is used chiefly to keep a cow together. Among the players who come in for a share of the credit are Herman Baxter, the Lenolr-Rhyne guard who won an all-conference berth oa the Post's selec tions; Arthur Sheek of High Point, another all-North Stater, who played brilliantly at forward; and Binford Farlow of Guilford. Baxter was the main offensive threat for the Stars, bagging 10 points, and in general play ing an outstanding game. Farlow's achievements for the night were defen sive rather than offensive in a reversal of regular seasonal play, as he held Paul Marklin, the high-scoring Cataw ba center, to a single field goal. Sheek scored only a point less than Baxter, and helped keep his team in the run ning with Catawba until the closing minutes of the game. Bob Van llo.v, one of three Catawba all-conference men performing in the game, played what amounted to the best game of the night for either side, bucketing 1(5 points, in a display of form that rates him one of the out standing ball handlers in the confer ence. liowen and Marklin, the two perennial stars for the Tribe, were eclipsed, however, as Jack Taylor, who played with Oak Itldge last season, proved his worth at three positions, chalking eight to the board with his accurate hook shot. That Catawba lost in the first round of the Kansas City tournament is re grettable to fans and participants alike, despite the fact that Kirkland's club lost a close decision (to Central Normal College of Danville, Ind.). Certainly, for a college its size, Catawba had this season one (if the country's outstand ing teams, bettered in North Carolina only by l>ukc and V.N.C., the titans of sports in this neck of the woods. CO-OP NEWS | The Co-op was able to sponsor as I speaker for its March meeting, Mrs. Mercedes Speir. president of the Rich mond Consumers Cooperative and lneni ! her of many important cooperative movements.

Paced by John Haworth, who racked up 17 points opening night, the Devils handily downed Davis-Townsend, and lost to Statesville only because star guard Eddie Hirabayashi was forced out in the closing stages of the game with a bad cut. The Devils led Statesville all the way, as Chic Blackwood, community star, bit for 21 markers, but the Stars pulled ahead on the play of Roy Isaacs, former Appalachian star. — H ATHLETTES By litis BEVILLE Spring is waking from her slumbers as the flowers start blooming and the trees start budding, and the young maids' fancies turn to sports. With Miss Nelson in tlie saddle, the new riding class begins next week. Each Tuesday and Thursday at 2 p.m. the station wagon or some means of! transportation will take the riders to the stables. If the right strings are pulled, there is a chance that Jefferson Lake will be used for swimming classes. Keep your fingers crossed! Again the W.A.A. is sponsoring May Day. and from all reports, it promises to be quite an affair. The Friday gym classes are getting in trim for the event. The sunshine is welcoming us outside again on the Softball field and tennis courts. With a few rakes and hoes set in motion, we can fix the tennis courts up like new: so come on and get your bands dirty! As a climax for the winter season's sports, the W. ('. basketeers were de feated by Guilford's team which really put the balls through the basket and came out victorious. The Lights of Learning Are Turned On Again I'niversities are req>eniiig in the lib erated lands. The (ISO-year-old I'niver sity of Paris reopened to more than :s.(iil students in January in a city that haif become the "tuberculosis capital of the world." The University of Caen went up in flames on July 7. 1944. but its students immediately organized a Mutual Self-Help in a city where 40.000 are homeless. The I'niversity of Bel grade has reopened for wounded stu dents and for badly needed doctors and technicians. The looted I'niversity of Pisa is operating again. The I'niversity of Cracow will reopen shortly. One half of Poland's 125,000 pre-war teach ers are dead. The 14H colleges and uni versities in China (most of them in tem porary locations, badly housed and poorly equipped) enroll 73,000 students (1 in (15(10 in the population, as to 1 in 150 iu tile I'nited States). The World Student Service Fund exists to keey these students alive, feed clothe and house them, help restore them to health and sanity, and help them resume their studies in freed uni versities.

Market Bright Prospects Are in View for Guilford Football In all likelihood, Guilford will re turn to the gridiron next season to play a regular schedule of football games against other colleges and prob ably service teams. Whether or not this Quaker institu tion pla.vs the fall sport again after a two-year lay-off depends in large meas ure, however, upon the success which Coach Doc Newton meets in rounding up boys to enter Guilford next fall. It would be Impossible to field a team with an enrollment of less than 75 men students, a conservative esti mate. but Coach Newton has high hopes of securing at least that number of enrollees, if not more. One factor workinug decidedly in his favor is the fact that the Guilford County cage tournament, held here re cently. may well serve to attract stu dents to Guilford who have not thought >f attending before. Brought here largely through the efforts of wily Pete Moore, college pub lic relations director, this tournament may well become an annual affair, and can prove a real shot-in-the-arm to athletics at Guilford. Guilford's last football season was that of 1042. when under Coach Block Smith the Crimson and Gray lost six straight, failing to score during the entire season. Previously, the Quakers had played two other winless seasons, in 1 !4> and 1941, scoring only a touch down a year during that period. Last win on the gridiron was scored by Guil ford over K.C.T.C. in 1939, a 7-0 Home coming Day victory. Ituinor has it that Miami (Florida) and William and Mary, although both schools are rather out of Guilford's class, have attempted to schedule games for next fall, and it is understood in North State circles that Apalaehian, Lenoir-Khyne and possibly High Point and Elon will play again next fall. Also from the rumor mill, Guilford alumni with the long green are, or at least are willing to be, organized to support athletics, which means that Guilford and Coach Newton will have more than the high scholastic rating of the college to offer prospective play ers in tile way of a sales talk. If this latter rumor is true, it would mean that college authorities have final ly seen the light and ceased to pursue an open course of hostility to any aid to athletes merely for the sake of ath letics. At present, Coach Newton is work ing out several times a week with hopeful who plan to be back for ser vice next fall with the Quakers, among Clothing for Men and Hoys VANSTORY Clothing Co.
