THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME I. Class Games Played During the past week the class baseball games were played off. and in several of these creditable exhibitions were given. Two were extra inning affairs and afforded considerable excitement. The first game staged was the Sophomores against, the Freshmen. The Fresh men took the lead early in the game and maintained it until the later stage* but they could not hold the Sophs, in check once they had started. On the other hand the second year men grew better as the game progressed. The score was tied in the eighih 11 to 11. In the ninth the Freshmen failed to connect safely while men were on bases and could not break the tie. In the latter half the Sophs, started a rally and were not stopped until after they had put across two runs. The game between the Juniors and* victorious Sophomores was rather a surprise to the students. Everything seemed in favor of the second year men, but the Juniors were stronger at the bat, and scored all through the game. A great aid in the scoring was the unusual number of errors made. Morris held the Sophomores to four hits, ard was in danger at no time, while Thayer was hit hard in the tirst inning, but pitched a good game all the way. The final score was 12 to 0 for the Juniors. This was the deciding game and gave them the class championship for this season. The best game played thus far was the college students against the Preparatory Department. Both sides had strong pitchers and the game was fast and snap py. There were several pretty plays, which made the game inter esting throughout. The Preps, started wel' by making three runs before the college boys could score, but later on the score was tied, and from then it became a tight to the tinish. It ran on for two extra sessions before the win ning runs could be forced across the rubber. In the eleventh the Preps, managed to connect safely and two runs were added, but in their half the college boys failed to score and the Preps, won 0 to 4. Athletic Material. When leaving here this spring do not leave the athletic material that has been lent by the Associa tion scattered over the whole dor GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C, MAY 19, 1915 mitory. Remember that it is the property of the Athletic Associa tion and that.you have signed up for what you have, and are thus held responsible. See if you have all that yon. are supposed to have, and have it ready when it is col lected. The annual Alumni-Student game wlil be played the Monday before commencement. This is looked forward to by the students each year, and much pleasure is derived from the event. The game last year was a tie, owing to the pitching of Shore, who held the students down. This is the tirst time that the students have not won in several seasons and they should make an effort to regain the title. GIRLS' BASKET BALL GAME. On last Friday afternoon the Guilford girls met the Jamestown High School girls in a basket ball game. The game was very inter esting as the teams seemed evenly matched. For several minutes a hard tight was waged before eith er side scored. Then Jamestown scored by a foul goal. This was followed by a held goal for Guil ford. Jamestown then obtained a field goal and Guilford obtained two, making the score at the end of the first half six and three in favor of Guilford. The second half was an even harder fought battle than the tirst. In this half Guilford scored only once, by foul goal. Jamestown won two field goals. The score at the end of the second half was tied, seven and seven. Jll playing off the tie, .lames town won the two points neces sary, making the score nine and seven in .Jamestown's favor.
