March 23, 1946
QUA K E S
By "DOC" BRODEUR
The lapse between the close of the
basketball season and the beginning of
the baseball, track and newly formed
golf team season, was taken up by the
North Carolina state county basketball
tournament during the week of March
11.
The tournament, which lasted four
days, had a total of eleven games play
ed which kept the gymnasium in the
center spot of activities. For those of
you who haven't read any further on
this page, the Allen Jay quintet from
Guilford County won the tournament
by defeating a zone playing Mar's Hill
five, 19-14.
In mentioning this tournament there
is one fact I would like to bring to the
attention of all those who didn't take
an active part in the tournament. And
that fact is the splendid job done by
the members of our own basketball
team and by the members of the Athle
tic faculty board.
Each visiting team had assigned to
it a member of our team for the pur
pose of guiding, informing and acting
as a general information bureau while
that team was on the campus. The
faculty members handled the coaches
of the visiting teams and kept the
scoring books and operated the time
clock in addition 'to assigning locker
rooms and etc.
It was a good tournament the
teams were impressed by our college
friendliness and attitude and the
coaches were heard to make remarks
something like this, "we have been to
a great many schools but never before
have we been treated so courteously."
(Chalk two up for the Quakers)
The only comment your writer has to
make on tile whole tournament is this:
wouldn't it help the players and specta
tors alike if we had an electric clock
and score board for our home games
next year? The one used during the
tournament was loaned by the OltU
team.
The baseball season is getting under
way with twenty four players practi
cing each day since the first call. This
column isn't making any predictions
about the season but with Bray and
Brame on the mound you can bet your
bottom dollar that we are in for some
"great little games ..."
Track team ? The reports from Coach
Lentz are a little discouraging al
though he continues to foster high
ones. Only five track men reported out
for the first practice last week. But
Doc Newton does not intend to carry a
twenty-four man baseball squad and
so we should see some of the ball play
ers turning to track. To date there are
no scheduled games for the track team
each college seems to be waiting for
someone else to organize a team.
Catawba and Appalachian are definite
ly out and High Point isn't certain
whether they will have a squad or not.
Coach Lentz is trying to arrange two
meets with Hainpden-Sidney, and Em
ery and Henry in Virginia.
The golf team under the watchful
eye of slamming Newell Baker is still
in its Infant stages with room left
for several more players. Baker re
quests that all you Sunday hackers
come out as there is a match scheduled
following the spring holidays.
That just about winds up the sports
for this time the Veteran ping-pong
ball tournament is underway and will

not be over until next week. I might
add that the Boston Bruins, Boston's
contribution to the hockey world,
clinched second place in the National
Hockey league the other night be de
feating the Black Hawks, 5-3. And the
Boston lied Soxs and Braves will need
to bear close watching this summer.

you now.)
Greater Greensboro
Golf Tournament
Here This Week-End
For those of you who have never
seen a top-flight golf tournament, here
is your chance the Greater Greens
boro golf tournament, which began yes
terday, March 22, at Sedgefleld, with
18 holes, will include 18 more Satur
day afternoon, March 23, and 36 on
Sunday afternoon for the $7,500 prize
money.
Bam Snead, the current favorite in
the absence of Ben Hogan, will be
meeting stiff opposition from such top
notch pros as Jimmy Demaret, Vic
Gheezl, and Johnny Bulla, formerly
of Greensboro.
The pros have been complaining
about the long fairways but the P.G.A.
■tournament chairman, Fred Cocoran,
reported that the pros will use the back
tees. Such favorites as Ben Hogan,
Byron Nelson, and Jug McSpaden have
withdrawn from the G.G.O. tourna
ment in order to for the Masters'
which is coming up soon.
Freshmen Elect Hansard
The Freshman class completed their
election of officers for the second semes
ter on Tuesday, March 5. At this time
Brooks Hansard was elected president.
Jack Chatham, vice-president, and Jack
White, social chairman.
Ask at the Desk and
No Card-Playing Aloud
(Continued from rage OncJ
square a clandestine meeting was ar
ranged for the stacks. One lad, so it
is told, was curled up cosily one night
when Miss Kicks just happened to be
passing by. He hasn't seen the girl or
Miss Kicks since.
People walking in provide a diver
sion out in the library proper but books
and old magazines claim your attention
in tile back. The term paper due tomor
row may be forgotten when you snatch
up the New Yorker, vintage 1!*40, or
the 1931 American Political Science
Review.
Those coming back to the stacks to
sleep off a hangover are advised not
to sit at the first desk as they come in.
They might get tired of seeing "The
Fine Way To Temperance" or "The l>e
tlironing of King Alcohol," copyright
1893, staring tliem in the face.
Some afternoon when you feel like
getting away from it all, but you still
have six book reports and two tests
the next day, try a visit to the stacks —
it's relaxing and you'll find a separate
desk, and a good student lamp —but
come early and avoid the rush, there
are only eight places!

Leonard Named To
All North Slate Team
Irie (Bunk) Leonard, North State
high scorer, was named to a forward
position on the 1946 All State confer
ence team here recently in an election
held by the coaches of the little eight
teams.
Leonard and Warren Burns of Elon
college, polled the vote of every coach
except their own in the voting. They
were thus elected co-captains of the
team. These two waged a battle
throughout the season for the scoring
leadership but Hunk put the pressure
on during the Quaker's remaining home
games to clinch the title.
lloney Cates of Elon college was
named for the pivot spot and Tinker
McGinnis, Catawba, and Albert Hiatt
of Appalachian were named for the
guard positions.
In spite of High Point's sudden surge
to the conference championship they
failed to place a single man on the
first team. However Jack Hammond
and Russell Lombardy of High Point
were named to the second team. Both
of these men were instrumental in
handing us our two defeats with High
Point.
The coaches participating in the
balloting were: Paul Lentz, Guilford;
Bird, Atlantic Christian college: llols
houser, Ca'tawba; Hoover, Appala
chian; James, High Point; Adcox, of
Elon.

Spring Track Team
Turn-Outs Very Slim
Only five candidates for the spring
track team turned out last week, it
was announced by Coach Paul Lentz,
but prospects of more runners and
junipers is In sight with the slashing
of the baseball team.
Although no meets have been sched
uled, Coach Lentz is trying to arrange
two with Hamden-Sidney, and Emory
and Henry in Virginia. Catawba, the
state conference college, and Lynch
burg will definitely be without a track
team this spring and High Point is
still undecided.
Those students already out on the
track practicing Include: Bill Byatt,
high jumper and high hurdles man;
Paul Jernigan, 440 yard; and Newell
Baker, Nick Drossos aud Robert Talley,
distance runners.
Moore Says College

(Continued from I'age One)
Hobbs Hall. This will be effective
beginning in September, 1946.
If present plans materialize and a
new girls' dormitory can be built before
the September term, acceptance of addi
tional women students will present al
most no problem. The question of build
ing materials creates a grave situation,
however, and it seems unlikely that
Guilford will be able to admit any
girls, unless they are day students.
