Quakers Top Appalachian Squad; Falter Before Catawba
QUAKES
By CARL COCHRANE
Everyone on campus is a bit dissap
pointed over our Quaker cage team's
rattier poor showing of late, but you
know, you can hardly blame the boys.
They have been given about as much
chance to show their true worth as a
dress designer in a nudist colony.
Look at the situation; the team un
derwent a complete shake up with the
.season already started—old players
leaving, new men arriving and even
a new coach. Then, to top it off, they
found themselves rushing into a sched
ule which would have made a profes
sional hoopster turn pale! Eight games
in twelve days sounds more like a six
■day bike race than a basketball sched
ule. Throw a few nice long trips in to
make a through job of it and you're
lucky if your team is still alive—let
alone winning ball games.
We think Paul Lentz is a pretty
good coach, and he has some good
material to work with, but basketball
is completely a team sport. It requires
five boys who can work together as
•one smooth unit on the floor, and to
obtain the timing that is needed to
make a play go or a defense click you've
just got to practice—and then practice
some more. Considering that Lentz
had about three days to whip a bunch
of "strangers" into a ball club, he has
done a swell job. Our five has done
Returning Vets Swell
Enrollment of College
(Continued from rape One)
•Community, Greensboro day student,
veterans, and ex-Guilfordians return
ing after several years, has swelled
the enrollment of the college almost a
third. Among these men are: Jack
Hartley, who with three years in the
service, spent 10 months in the ETD
which included a part in the invasion.
He was a combat engineer and re
ceived the purple heart for wounds he
received while overseas. Having al
ready spent 103!), 1940, and 1!>41 here,
he is a senior.
David Speigal has returned to Gull
ford after 39 months of army life, a
part of which was spent in ETO ind
North Africa. He is a junior and a
biology major.
David Solotov, a senior, spent 1937-
1940 at Guilford before he went into
four and a half years of service. Al
though he never went overseas, he was
a very important figure in the Balloon
Barrage of the Coastal Artillery of the
Infantry. He was outstanding on the
campus before joining the nrmy, and
we feel sure his army experience has
been such that he will be so again.
Two other previous students who
have rtturned to us are Jack Arzonico,
a sophomore of 29 months in service,
and Roy "Swish" Christiansen, an
upper freshman with 31 months in
service.
The rest of the new veterans are:

wait until they get the chance to get.
familiar with the coach's stratgy on
some offensive plays—and maybe
there'll be a few surprised people
around the North State Loop.
There's not much dope on spring
practice as yet—but with all the beef
that's on the field these afternoons
something good sure ought to come out
of it. Incidentally, as it stands now
there really should be one hot race
for that tail back spot—with Faircloth,
Yarborough and Dickerson, triple
threat men "par excellent," all gunning
for it. We imagine coach will manage
to get at least two of the "Terrible
Threesome" into the backfield together,
however, by running one at quarter
back later on.
T'was in the twenty seconds
The team was in the soup
When Hannigan dribbled to mid-court
And fired it for the hoop
The team was only a point behind
The coach was blowing a gasket
When Sure Shot Hannigan got that ball
And cut loose for the basket
The sturdy lad was sore beset
A thumb was in his eye
A guard was climbing on his back
But Hannigan made his try!
Our hero was smashed upon the floor
Three men on top of him
But no one looked at Ilannigan
As the ball bounced on the rim
The coach grabbed for his rabbit foot
And hopefully he kissed it
This would have made a glorious poem
But that gosh darn Hannigan missed it!

We hope all the veterans, both the
former students and the new ones, will
find their stay here worthwhile both
socially and scliolastically.

Spring Football Drills
Open Under 'Doc 7 Newton
Spring football practice got under
way here last week with some 24
prospects out. Most of these boys, be
sides the returning boys from last
season's squad, are veterans enrolled
under the OI bill of rights.
Three regular football stars who
starred under Newton at State college
include Art Faircloth and Flash, both
from Washington, D. C., and Curly
Dickerson, of The Greensboro House
of the Dickerson's. Curly is the last
of the Dickerson boys to star in ath
letics.
The rest of the football roster is as
follows: Jim Nantz, Mt. Holly; Bob
Yarborough, Thomasville; Bob Kinch,

Lentz Takes Over
Basketball Reins
Curly Dickerson, who has filled in
as basketball coach here until the ar
rival of the assistant athletic director,
"Killer" Lentz, has now been suc
ceeded by Lentz after a short and suc
cessful career as coach.
In speaking of Lentz, the sports
staff wishes to apologize for not men
tioning in the last issue that it was
Lentz who ran 95 yards ngainst Wil
liam and Mary in 1930 to put the
Quakers in the lead of this Southern
conference team. In addition, this was
a return of the kickoff. However, Guil
ford did not win the ball game as fate
would have it—Guilford came out on
the short end of a 32-0 score. Anyway,
it was good while it lasted!
In the first game played under
Coach Lentz, the squad pulled a big
upset over Appalachian, but has drop
ped the last five. But let's not be so
hasty to criticize . . . Paul has had only
one day since then to work out with
the boys. Give him time . . . and Guil
ford will get back in the winning
column!

Up until now, we haven't had any
sho nuff games, but next week will be
the one that will make history. Why?
Because the inter games start.
Believe me kids, it's going to be one
hot contest.

Prom Mary Lee's little book, it seems
that Mary Hobbs has the most out, but
Archdale and Founders have some ex
cellent player so its about even.
Should be interesting, therefore—don't

All you gals that aren't out for bas

everything works out, the varsity will
play WCUNC, Greensboro College,
Salem and Lynchburg. Some good play
ers are needed, so come on out girls for
the five o'clock practice.

Since so many new men ("hubba

Quakers Drop A. S.T.C.
In Thrilling Upset
. . . And there it was—official! We
had upset the high-flying Mountaineers
from Appalachian State Teachers' Col
lege—the team that had just upset the
conference leaders, Catawba. And the
bell rang out its cheerful message over
the surrounding countryside. It wasn't
a one-point margin, or any of that
small time stuff, it was a five point
margin!
Leonard, Hansard, and Lawhorne
led the Quaker cagers that night,
dropping in 9, 5, and 4 points, respec
tively. At the half Guilford stood at
the top of a meek 17-15 score, and in
the second half dropped in enough
baskets to pull ahead with the win
ning margin.
Next? Yes, next we dropped before
the onslaught on Atlantic Christian
College, Catawba, Western Carolina,
Eastern Carolina, and the Seml-Profes
sional team from Asheboro, the Mc-
Crary Mills. But the margin of the
last game with McCrary was quite
different to the game played several
months ago. Last Saturday the mar
gin was only 12 points; previously it
had been 36 points! There has been
improvement somewhere, and some of
it in the fact that new material has
arrived on the campus.
Our next scheduled home conference
game Is on the 20th with Elon. But
the highlight of the season will be on
the 27th with our rivals of old from
High Point college. And so we . . .
living up to true tradition, will have
to beat the Panther boys, as well as
paint the old college barn down past
the gym. To anyone who takes a mo
ment from his or her busy schedule,
will see —now faint with age—mark
ings on the barn such as "BEAT
HIGH POINT."
The paint job done on the roof—now
gone—once rend in big white letters—
QUAKERS GIVE 'EM H ! . . . And
that's exactly what we intend to do
when we play High Point. So, boys
get out the old paint brush, get a
bucket of paint, and get to show
you how it is done!
