Page Four Sideline Slants By HERB SCHOELLKOPF As stated by the ItHC-47 Cata logue, the program of the Depart ment of Physical Education con sists of three divisions: (a) The intercollegiate sports, which are football, basketball, base ball, track, and tennis. (b) The intramural program, which is made up of the following activities: touch football, basket ball, baseball, soccer, track, tennis, boxing, wrestling, tumbling, volley ball, and speedball. (c) The required program . . . At least 53 men students have taken the word of the catalogue seriously, because that many have expressed their desire for going out for the trac kteam this spring. It is good that some favorable action is finally materializing in the inter est of minor sports, although there are still difficulties arising along certain lines. For instance, track aspirants wil have to buy their own shoes, the only sport in which they do. Fortunately we have Coach Paul Lentz, chairman of the North State Conference minor sports committee who is working to revive activities in the other conference schools as well as this one. There are also other outside individuals who have shown their sympathy for the idea. For one, Hughes Davis, ex-Quaker tennis star, has offered his services with the Recreation Department of Greensboro to put on a conference tennis tournament. Another is How ard Coble who has promised the aid of trucks and other equipment to help fix the track. As far as competition in concerned, at least one school, Norfolk Naval Appren tice, has asked for a meet, and others have expressed their hopes for having them with Guilford. Where and why should there be any difficulty in establishing track, tennis, and other small sports back to the prewar level? The Quakers were outstanding in those sports then, and now have more and bet ter material than ever. We have the support of potential participants from the student body, the coach, competition from Other schools, now all we need are some track shoes, a few pieces of equipment, and a schedule.

On the Girls Side By DORIS LOESGES The basketball season has come to a close with the Junior-Senior team captained by Gerry Garris, the victors. They defeated the combined sophomore teams in a two out of three series by a final score of 13-6. All in all the season was a highly successful one with plently of keen competiton and some excellent play ing. High scorers of the season were Mary Ellen Branson with a total of 48 points, Ada Wayne Stuart with 32, Roxie Itoberson with 28, and Esther Ix>we and Norma Toomes both with 27. Monday afternoon softball prac tice will beg-in under the manage ment of Beth Frederick. Again, all those who are interested are urged to come out and practice. The U.N.C. is sponsoring a play day on the •twelvth of April to which we have been invited. Miss Hutchinson is planning to take a softball and a tennis team down, therefore it i 3 imperative that the teams be organ ized as soon as possible. As Miss Hutchinson has emphasized in class, don't let your playing ability in fluence your interests. All that is required Is the will to learn. On the eighteenth and nineteenth of April the Athletic Federation of College Women is holding its first postwar convention at W. C. The program will consist of discussions, demonstration, speakers, recreation al activities, and a banquet. The Conventions chairman will be Miss Mary Elizabeth Van Dyke of W. C. The purpose of this organization is to unite leadership of athletic as sociations and to exchange ideas. An other aim is to raise the athletic standards on the various campuses among the women students, and to promote recreational sports. The delegates from Guilford have been chosen from the new WAA cabinet. Attending the conference with Miss Hutchinson will be Marie Elliott, Jeanne P res n ell, and Dorry Loesges. So far only tentative plans have been made for May Day. It will be sponsored by both the old and the new WAA Cabinets. The program will be based on the rhythms work to I>e done in the regular physical education classes after spring vaca tion. As everyone noticed some new offices have been added to the WAA in this election. The function of the May Day chairman is to coordinate the committees working on the pro gram. Previously the responsibility, has rested for the most part on the Physical Education director. The Cheerleader manager will organize the squad and give it the proper coaching in cooperation with the manager chosen from the Mens AA. As the WAA is called upon to share in the responsibility of providing student social functions on campus, and since they hold play dayts, It was deemed advisable to have a Social chairman. The job of the Re creational Chairman will be to or ganize such recreational sports as badminton and volley ball.

It was nip mwl tuck all the way with the boys from Old South usually out front by one or two points. But each time the Vets man aged to plunk in a trying basket. The real heros of the fracas were Riddle who dropped In the tying points with 5 seconds remaining in the regular game. And then in the overtime period it was Harpo Withers who came thru with the winning basket with only 10 seconds remaining before the final Whistle. At the half time period the score stood at 10 to 17 in favor of the Cox Hall boys, and after a slow starting second half lull of three and a half scoreless minutes the fur began to fly. From there on out one team never got more than a three point lead over the other quintet. Both fighting savagely for the ball, and sometime just fighting anyway, the third period ended with the Old Southerners still, in the lead 23 to 22. Kiddle Ties Game liynum Smith failed to report as he re-entered the game at this time so a technical was called on him by referee Lentz. This gave the Vets a chance to match the score. From there the Vets went on to take the lead 24 to 23 and then 20 to 23 on a bucket by Kiddle. Two quick baskets by Nantz and foul shots by Maultsby and Smith put the unmar ried boys in the lead again 29 to 20. The final two minute jieriod saw Nantz increase the lend to 30 to 20 but field goals by Riddle and Winner and then one by Schrum brought it up to 32 to 30 with just a few seconds remaining. This is when Kiddle made his desperate last chance shot that paid off and caused the game to go into the overtime I>eriod. Nantz quickly dropped one in at the beginning of the overtime ses sion for what proved to be the last points for the Old South team. Things were tough all over for the Vets couldn't get their eye either and missed numerous shots until Riddle got a foul shot to put his team within one point of the leaders. The crowd jamming the Guilford gym was in an uproar with the sen timents generally on the wide of the THE LOTUS RESTAURANT Chinese and American Dishes 105 South Greene Street GREENSBORO, N. C. Guilford Cinder Men Begin Drills For First Track Squad Since 1942 By JOHN HAWORTH Paul Lentz, Doc Pundom, et al, have worked out the blueprint for Guilford's first track squad since 1942, and right now, the Crimson harriers lack only one thing before they can run —namely, opponents. Conference schools Catawba, and High Point, who with Guilford were track mainstays before the war, not to mention the other schools, have not yet indicated their plans for the cinder sport. Tentative meets with Lynchburg College and with Naval Apprentice of Newport News, Va. are brewing, however, and who will resume his part as track mentor hopes to arrange at least half a dozen meets or so, including even two or three way meets with Southern Confer ence schools. AVith a road-scrape available to grade the track, which hasn't been used since the spring of 1942, and saw-dust for the high jump pit, daily work-outs on the field should soon be an afternoon reality. Several of the more promising prospects* have already been round ing into share, among the more promising of these being Pouch Cox representatives. Considerable "discussion" went on as lirst Gordon fouled out and than Terril left the game on personals. The time narrowed down to the last remaining seconds and than it happened. There was a flurry for a loose hall and It came out in the hands of a Married Man. He some how managed to get it to Harpo, who was standing directly under the basket, without losing an arm. or an eye. Harpo in turn made a mighty leap to throw in the winning field goal and his only points for the night. Riddle was the outstanding star for the winners with a total of 21 points, with Winner 'trailing with !> points for the same side. On the part of the losers, Nantz carried most of the burden by garnering 14 points and Maultsby ran him a close second for laurals 'with 9 markers. Vets Win I tnhe semi-final game between Old South and the Day Hops and Archdale vs. Married Vets on Wed nesday night the Day Hops went down in defeat by a score of 45 to .'ls, and the Vets beat a stubborn Archdale 31 to 28. In the former game Nantz got twelve to devide honors with Shrum who had 10. For the losers of that game High fill and Gorrel both had nine points. For Archdale the big gun was Rack strnw with a total of 13 altho he was helped along by the 8 points of Lefty Ralls. Forthe victorious Vets that nigh't it was again Riddle and Winner with 10 and 8 marker respectively. Thus the first post war event of the intramural program has come to a gallant finish. The best teams came through to the finals and the best team won. However revenge will be in order on the Softball diamond from the opening of the softhall intramural program coming. r-; Make That Coke Date A Special One —at the — Greene Street Drug Store 124 South Greene " " " I :: !

Hyatt was co-champ in the 120 high hurdles along with his team mate Dearmas Smith, killed in the the war. He figures to place high in the hurdles again this season, and is also slated for action In the high jump event. In the half-mile, Schoellkopf cop ped conference titles in 1941 and 1942, as well as running anchor on the lirst place Crimson relay team. He also should count for points In the javelin throw. With these three performers to be relied on heavily for a big share of points, T/cntz has apparently found sprint material in abundance. Howie Kaufman has recently run the 100-yard dash in 10 flat, which is mightly fine time in this league. Kaufman was outstanding in his New York high school. Billy Powell and Wall.v Maultzby may push Kaufman in this department, how ever, as well as in the 220. In the middle distances, the 220 and 440, Carl Erickson, I'hil Feeney, Ed Alexander, and Bill Phipps should strengthen the squad consi derably. Phipps also runs in the hurdles. Leading the weights candidates at six-four and 250 pounds is Grimsley Hobbs, ietterman wrestler and shot-putter from the University of North Carolina. Bill Teeney, Tom Andrew, and Bert Distler also may produce points. Brooks Hansard should be the top candidate for the pole vault, along with Carl Erickson, and Han sard will help Byatt ■with the board and high jump duties. In all, some 53 candidates are on hand for what may be Guilford's best season since 1941 or 1940, both years having seen the Quakers vic torious in the North State. Last year for track was 1942, when Guil ford finished in the runner-up spot behind Catawba. Like an idler sitting in an easy chair blowing smoke rings that curl away and vanish, the man who lets unused years get away from him has let a vital part of his life get beyond recall.
