Page Six Cage Practice Begins Coach Dave Meredith blew the starting whistle for the 1951 bas ketball season on October 31 with approximately 35 aspirants out for the team. With seven returning lettermen—Venable, Woodall, Mc- Leod, Ringler, Crews, Callicut, and Ferrell—prospects look better this year than they have any time dur ing the past several years. This year the Quaker floormen have the height that has been lacking in the past. An abundance of reserves should make every man have a fight for his position, and Coach Mere dith emphasized that all positions are open. Several freshmen are making the lettermen really fight to obtain a starting berth this sea son. As Coach Meredith said the first day of practice, "We are out to win the North State championship," we believe and hereby predict that, if the student body gets behind the team and supports it, Guilford will not finish below third place in the standings.

Faculty Displays (Continued ]rom Paae One) After a short intermission during which cookies and cake were sold, the grand act came on, Act V, "Free from Mother's Apron Strings." The songs, cleverly rewritten, were also very well handled. The chorus con sisted of Harold Bailey, Edward Burrows, Lyn Bradshaw, Eva Camp bell, Frederic Corwnfield', Charles Hendricks, Hiram Hilty, Gurney Gilbert, Harvey Ljung, Treva Mathis, Martha Meredith, Maxine Ljung, Garness Purdom, Muriel Tomlinson, E. Daryl Kent, and Mil dred Marlette. Miss Ware played the piano for the numbers. Soloists for this eleven scene act were Daryl Kent, Frederic Crown field, Hiram Hilty, Harvey Ljung, Lyn Bradshaw, Garness Purdom, and Treva Mathis. Among the high spots of the eve ning was Scene 2, which was a duet by Daryl Kent and "Freddy" Crownfield -entitled "Things Are Seldom What They Seem." The lines for this were quite good, for example, "Things are seldom what they seem; Homogenized milk often does for cream," and "Mama's dar ling meek and mild at college is a different child." Harvey Ljung practically stole away the show with his prancing back and forth across the stage in the solo and chorus number, "I am the Captain of the Guilford Crew"! When the curtain rang down the finale, "They Are Guilfordians," the applause .was tremendous. During the curtain calls, Mrs. Crownfield was led on stage and received the grand ovation she greatly deserved for a wonderful show. i HOLLOWELL'S i Student Headquarters | Everything Good To Eat —....ssai CLOTHING For Men and Boys Xfcmdieri/ fin utm 11 i } i i GREENSBORO, N. C. Open Letter to Summey Alexander (Continued from Page Two) about verb agreeing with antecedent —or something like that? But Buddy, why? I mean just that. Why? What were you doing in Korea? I'm sick of the whole mess. Sisters and parents come in here at the office every day and I have to write the obits of their 17-year-old brothers and 18-year-old sons who got their guts blown out by mortars and cannons and I just sit back and write it about the same way I'd write a story on a rare disease discovered in the mountains of Idaho or the election of Miss Turkey Grower, 1951. I'll admit it. I haven't even read a Korean story in the last week. Meanwhile all these kids are catching it . . . some quick and others not so lucky. I hope you didn't have to wait for yours, Buddy. I hope you got one of the quick, clean ones without any messing around. What really hurts is the fact that if you had spent just eight more days in the Navy in that other mess we had a few years ago. you'd be alive today and probably still be working with the Duplan Corporation down there in Lincolnton. But it didn't work out that way. You're a neuter now, Buddy. You won't even vote in the next election. Your Dad and Mom, two of the finest folks I've ever met, have only each other. I wonder why. I mean it, I really wonder why. I won der what I was doing on the night of August 27th. Wonder what your folks were thinking. And Buddy, did you know that a fellow by the name of Truman is coming over to Win ston-Salem tomorrow? Joe Leslie is staffing that for us. Just wonder what Truman would say if Joe walked up and said to him, "Mr. Truman, how come Buddy Alexander was killed over in Korea? Kim Smith over in High Point also caught one. Any idea why?" Wonder what he might say, Buddy. Wonder if he'd change his tune about this just being a skirmish with a bunch of ban dits? It's a mess and I don't know the answer. Put in a few good words up where you are and perhaps we can get the whole damn mess straightened out someday soon. Meanwhile, we'll miss you. And thanks for what you've done. Getting yourself spread out in Korea for me and a lot of other guys who really appreciate everything you've done, but we're all lost in this rotten tied-up political mess and degradation in Washington. That's why I ask you, "Why?"—l want some body to tell me why your mother and father will be alone from here on out. Be good, Buddy. I'll tell the gang hello for you and I'll catch a cold one next time I run over to Tuck's. As ever, Bill. INTRAMURALS (Continued from Page Five) victories but the aforementioned have been most notable. Most fans agree that the most surprising phase of this year's championship chase has been the only so-so record compiled by the defending champion Yankee Sta dium crew. Sonny Dillon is the star for the Yankee sextet and he has led them several impressive games but it looks as though it will be a difficult task for the Yanks to re peat as champions. Probably their most embarrassing defeat in history was recorded this year when the smooth - clicking Archdale squad drubbed them 56-6. Although the first half has been discussed herein the second half play has begun and the first game played in the latter half has been termed by many as the best game of the year. The first half champs Whiz Kids were riding on the crest of a five-game winning streak when ,1 SAY IT WITH MUSIC FROM Greensboro Music Company • Instruments • Music • Records 207 West Market Street Phone 2-0739 • —• , ........

The New Northers were as low as whale faces on the bottom of the ocean, but in this game the Craven-coached squad forced the Whiz Kids to fizz and settle with a 27-27 tie. This is indicative of the much closer second-half race that is expected. • > Hinshaw Radio Service We Repair Anything Electrical PHILCO TRUETONE G. E.

"The Professor," as he was affec tionately known, taught in the com mercial department at Guilford be fore the turn of the century, in the school year of 1890-1891, and was a member of the Board of Trustees from 1918 until 1931. He was 81 years of age at the time of his death. Lynch Hospitalized; Out for Season All - Conference candidate and Quaker co-captain, Sam Lynch, will be sidelined for the rest of the season. The stellar tackle, who teamed with "Big Ab" to be the best tackle combination in the con ference, suffered a blood clot in the leg. "The Nick" had been turn ing one of the best seasons of his career, and was a strong contender for all-conference honors. His loss will be sorely felt for the rest of the season. Sam is a senior this year, presi dent of the Monogram Club, and a great all-round guy, as you all know.

At the first meeting the proposed budget, as set up by the Budget Committee, was presented and accepted. (A copy of the budget was printed in the first edition of the Guilfordian.) At the next meeting, Dr. Milner spoke to the SAB on behalf of the Community Chest Drive. In pre vious years, the SCA has sponsored this drive on campus. Since it is quite an undertaking for one or ganization alone, Dr. Milner asked the members of the Board if they would be willing to sponsor the Campus Chest Drive this year. A decision was made in the affirma tive. The student-faculty goal is SBOO. Students are urged to give gener ously in order to make the "red feather" grow.

The only thing we do know is that another war would be the end of our civilization, and we pray to God that He may prevent it.
