1 »m beginning to wonder where is this thing c«lled "Uw of
iver*ge " *» c*‘ch up with the
ijeir old I**- The amazing thing is the number of hits that we
jft » g*"*' set near enough runs to
«in. In several games we have outhit our opponents but just
unable to get him home. Vi e have a good ball club. 1 can-
i not help but believe that we are still going to win some ball
jimes this year.
All of us sure were sorry to see Coach Bill Herring leave
Tuesday- He is really a fine coach. Vi e all hope that he has a
good season with the Brewera. I hope all
of you saw the game that he pitched
against Goldsboro. He really showed his
skill as a pitcher.
It has been recommended by the ath
letic committee that some other sport be
substituted for boxing. I think that the
committee is right and all of us hope some
sport can be found that a great number of
our students will take part.

Numerals are awarded after a girl has earned thr<e hundred

ind finally, a star for every five hun
dred points following the receiving
of a monogram. As the year is quick
ly drawing to a close, I would like to
urge all girls to play in the remainder
of the games. Next week. Soccer will
be played — an opportunity for one
hundred points. Following that comes
the last major sport of the year —
Softball. There will also be a Badminton tournament with indi
vidual entries. These sports will give girls an opportunity to
»in numerals before the school term ends.
ShairielKiard Tournament Reaches End
After suffering from lingering illness, the Shuffleboard
tournament is dying a slow death. Little sense of cooperation
has been manifested in this sport, and as a result the tournament
his dragged over a period of months. At the present time, it is
■n its final stages, and will soon be completed. More interest
•nd cooperation must be shown if we are to have tournaments.
Merely signing your name as an entry in a tournament doesn’t
Wp its progression. You must play as well. Help make the re
maining tournaments a success!

Guilford Takes
Two In A Row
10-0; 8-5
The AtUntic ChrirtUn College j
winaintr &trvak »-«s cut j
short at five iraniM on March 27.
as Guilford ColU^f^ blanked thtm
to the tune of 10 to 0.
Guilford broke the scorinjr ice
in the verj- first frame. U-nt*
walked, stole second, and then
da^ihed home on Hines' triple intx)
left field. This one marker was
enoujfh to spell def«it for the Bull
do}fs.
Not content with an early lead,
the Quakers pounced on Moye for
two markers m the third fram«,
one in the ftjurth, and clinuisied
their attack in the sixth inf^j;
with a five-run spree. M. Harper
then took to the mound and pitched
hard for a lost cause.
Shell was the star of the even-
as he held the Bulldog with
five scattered Kits. He waR m
(lanirvr of being; scored on only
twice during the K^nie—once in
the fourth innini; and ai^ain in the
ninth.
A blown-up infield and errors
spoiled what had been expected to
be a “dinff-don^f’' ball
Hines, with four safeties for six
tries wa-s the best for the visitors.
Treadway, w'ith two for four, wa;^
the bijf noise for the locals.

The Guilford Quaker* made it
two in a row over the A. C. Bull
dogs on March 28, as they set
them back by the acore of 8 to 6.
The Quaker* had won the day be
fore 10 to 0.
The inability of the Bulklopi to
hit in the pinches wa« the factor
that handed them defenu Four
teen runners were allowed to die
on ba-He. Had they found life, the
rwult of the game would have
been entirely different.
The Quakers broke the scoring
ice first. Frey walked. Hinci
iingled and another single by
Summay brought Frey home. For
tht oecond tally, Hine« atole home
on a pasjied ball. 'The Bulldogs'
first tally came a* the result of
a single by Bullock. This single
brought home Geffert, who had
previously walked.
Guilford got two markers in the
second and one tn the fifth, be
fore the Bulldogs were able U>
score again.
In A. C. C.’a part of the sixth,
an error, a walk and aingles by
Cowan and Geffert sent home three
tallies to give the Bulldog* new
hope. The score at this time was
5 to 4 in favor of Guilford.
Disliking such a .«nall margin,
the Quakers added two other
markers to their colle^ion in the
first of the seventh. A triple, a
double and a long fly produced
theoe two runs. A Bulldog run in:
the seventh came as the result of
a walk, single, and error. The
Quakers added another tally in tiie
ninth.
Jim Cowan took the hitting hon
ors for the Bulldogs with two for
four, while Mutt Gardner wbs out-
.standing on defense.

Greenville, April 16.—‘*D««r Old
Bo-Hunk-Us" seems to like iti
home—at least for the prvseiit.
Today Greenville a^ain (oug^it off
the effort* of the Bulldogs to re
capture the cherished “Bucket” for
A. C. C.
llie inability of the Bulldogs to
cash in on aeveral of the breaks
proved to be their downfall. Kour
of the nine innings saw the firvt
man up safely in firvV—there to
die. Only on one occasion the
Bullduips able to bring home one of
thoir members safely from “thi
far be)*ond.”
K. C. T. C. broke th» scoring ice
in their half of the second. Hin
ton walked; Winstead sincrW^ in*
to center field where a beautiful
scoop-up by Holmes held Hinton
at second. Later Hinton stole
third and still later ?^ampered
home on a pa»ed ball. Winstead
advanced to second on the same
passed ball. Harper then took the
problem into his own hands. He
cautrht Winstead too far off sec
ond and threw him out The m*xt
two batt«frs were set down on
strikes.
The BulUkjjfs* first marker came
in the fifth as the result of a cir
cuit blow by Geffert, Unfortun
ately no mates were aboard.
K. C. T. C. then KOt bu-^y in their
part of the fifth. Winstead found
life on an error, and a sinirle by
Futrell advanced him to second.
Brown’s sintcle into center field
.Hent Winstead across the rubbir
for another marker. Thi- next bat>
ter hit to Gardner as fe<^nd, who,
with the coqibmed eff jrts of
Treilway and Houston, rformed
a well-timed double pi to nip
any farther throttU i that in>
nmg. However, in. tha >ixth in*
ninjr, £. C. T. C. put tk ifame on
ice by mixini^ a trlpU; a
two walks and an •rrot for three'
other runs.
The Bulldogs made their last
bid for victory in the I'l^hth. Re-
ifardless of their eff'ortt, only ont
run was produced. Witii the bases
loaded, Hicks sent a twiatmir line
drive down third which was
muffed lonfc enough Aar a runner
to scamper home from third.
Geffert made practically all of
the noise for the BulUloc*. With a
single, a triple, and a home run
for four tries, he led the Bulldogs’
hitting attack. He also caught a
beautiful game behind the plate.
Although Harper was the losing
pitcher, he gave the fans a thrill
as he showed them a pitcher who
had plenty of speed and »*willing
heart.

The Indians then went on the
“war path” Three hits and an
errur produced four runs ^ th<
third. Davis hon>errd in the
fourth with the bases drunk, to
continue the Indians’ slaughter.
However. s peat'e tresty was

was Holmes with his three-run
homer. The Indians' Big Chief
was Davis w*ith a home run and a
single for five tries.

The Atlantic Chnsttan Bulldogs
finally bowed to a strong l«noir-

10. A 10-run spree In the f»rml
Inning took the spuHk out o^ tht
