SECOND TEAM WINS
ONE AND LOSES ONE
Guilford's second team broke even
in a double header here April 8,
winning the first game from Trinity
High School, 8 to 4; and losing to
South Buffalo High School, 3 to 0, in
the second contest.
For the first time this season
Coach Doak gave his reserves a work
out against an outside outfit, and the
youngsters acquitted themselves in
good form once the game was under
way.
C. Shore and K'nney formed the
battery for Guilford, while McDowell
a d Johnson did the box work for
the Trinity boys in the first game.
Shore allowed seven hits, but scat
tered them so that only in the third
and fifth innings were the visitor.-;
able to score. They sent two runs
across in the third on three clean
b'ngles by Dobson, McDowell and
Parkin, and added the other two in
the fifth on a smashing three bagger
by McDowell.
The collegians made all their runs
in the first four innings, the big
onslaught on the Trinity High School
heavier coming in the fourth when
five runners were sent over the
home plate.

The game with South Buffalo was
a much better exhibition of ball
playing than the first. The errors
and hard slugging which featured
the first game turned into a pitchers'
battle between English and Taylor,
who were both given good support
by their team mates.
The scrubs secured only one hit
off the visiting mound man, and
were unable to cross the rubber
bingle was made by Vaughn who
connected for a beautiful drive in
the fourth which was good for three
bases.

GIILFORD COLLEGE, N.C.APRIL 12, 1922
STANDARD CLASS RING
ADOPTED BY GUILFORD
Regulations Concerning New Ring
For many years as the succeeding
classes have reached their Junior
year, they have discussed the pos
sibility of selecting a standard ring.
The class of 1923 have done more
than discuss. Tihejy ihvited the
other classes and the Faculty to
appoint committees to meet with
them and consider taking definite
steps this year. All were enthusias
tic for the advantages seemed ob
vious. A much better looking ring
will be available for little additional
cost. The alumni of Guilford will
have a token by which they may
recognize each other at any time and
at any place. Different size rings for
the girls and for the men will be
feasible since the dies once mad?
can be used indefinitely.
Spot Taylor, chairman of the Jun
ior committee, was most efficient and
untiring in his efforts to secure the
l est possible design. Eight or ten
of the best jewelers were request
ed to submit sketches and from
these the committee selected the one
that seemed to them the most at
tractive and at the same time the
most representative of Guilford—a
white gold ring with a sardonyx
setting.
This ring was unanimously ap
proved by the classes and by the
preparatory students and the com
mittee then proceeded to draw up
resolutions concerning the purchasing
and the wearing 'of the ring.
The resolutions, which were unai
mously approved by the Faculty, are
as follows:
Resolution I. A standard ring shall
be adopted for Guilfoi-d College.
This ring shall be white gold with
a sardonyx setting embossed with
a gold scroll marked with G. Silver
may be substituted for white gold
if the class so desires. Degree and
class numerals shall be embossed on
the shank of the ring.
Resolution 11. The ring may be
purchased during the spring term
of Junior Year and may be worn
for the first time publicly on com
mencement day of that year.
Resolution 111. Only those expect
ing to return the following year to
complete the college course and

FRESHMEN IWIN'FINAL
""lAMETNIAIET"
BALL TOURNAMENT
Lowe and Raiford Star at Forward
The Freshmen won a victory over
the seiors by a score of 10 to 9 in
the final game of the class basket
bsll tournament, which was played
April 7.
The game was hard fought from
the beginning and a large number
of fouls were called. Since both
teams were about equal in strength
and brsket ball skill, the game was
close and exciting. The freshmen
took the lead in the beginning when
Lowe pitched a field goal. Raiford
soon tied the score by throwing two
foul goals. At the end of the first
half the score was tied and at no
time dui'ing the game was one team
more than two points in the lead.
Frst one team and then the other
forged ahead and when the game was
nearing the end it seemed as if it
would be mere luck for the team
which had the lead when the
whistle blew for time. All the
members of both teams played hard
and constantly. The success of the
game can be attributed to no indi
vidual player.
For the freshmen, Lowe led in the
scoring 3 field goals and 2 fouls to
her credit. Ed. Raiford, for the
Seniors, scored seven of the nine
points. Outland as forward for the
seniors and Mcßane for the Fresh
men filled their place well, even
though they did not score many
points. The guards of both teams
did some very efficient work, and
were able to prevent the forwards
from piling up a large score on field
goals. Some of the hardest playing
took place in the center. The work
here was characterized by swift pass
ing, team work and high jumping.
Sarah Hodges for the Freshmen did
some excellent floor work by her
swift playing.

THOMAS R. ENGLISH
WINS PEACE CONTEST
Rudd Accorded Second Place.
The ninth annual peace oratorical
contest which was held in Memorial
Hall, Saturday evening, April 8, was
won by Thomas R. English of the
class of '25, while second place was
accorded to Win. Lee Rudd of the
senior class. Both of the men's lit
erary societies were represented in
the contest with two speakers each,
Mr. English and Mr. Rudd repre
senting the Websterians while Edwin
P. Brown and John D. Reynolds
appeared for the Clays.
Mr. English's oration, entitled "Ed
ucation for Peace," was delivered
very forcefully. He showed that the
wonderful progress in the material
world has made it rather difficult to
understand why the human mind ha 3
been able to rid itself of war.
The great world war opened the ey3
of the people to the fact that the
cost of war in money and men, in
suffering and sacrifice was far too
great for the gain of victory. "The
world wants universal peace, yet the
policy of armed peace has failed as
a means of preserving peace," said
the speaker. "Viewing the records of
the past, we must introduce a new
program if we want universal peace,
we need an Educational Leadership
and policy in order to educate the
people up to a sentiment against
war. This education must come
through 'the church, schc 1 and
press."
"Keeping Faith," delivered by Mr.
Brown, emphasized the general cost
of war both in property and life,
and the comparative cost of war
and education. It emphasized the
fact that to avoid the waste and
cost of war, we must have a con
structive policy of peace and that it
is the work of the church to bring
this about.
Mr. Reynolds in "The Economics of
War" spoke with good tone and ex
pression. His oration was developed
entirely from an economical view
point. He cited many figures con
cerning the cost of war and the cost
of school buildings well equipped
with all the conveniences of the
present time.
Mr. Rudd in "The Dawn of a New
Era" showed the trend of human
society toward a larger unit of organ
ization as civilization and science
advance. A brief review was made
of the pi-ogress of humanity from the
savage state to the present, which
is the dawn of the era of interna
tionalism in the political, as well as
in the educational and spiritual,
activities of men. The speaker show
ed that "wars must cease'* or our
present civilization must fall, and
dwelt upon the fact that the money
spent for wars might do wonders
toward bettering conditions in the
world.
The last number on the program
was a solo, by Miss Clara Henley,
which was very much enjoyed. Hei*
fine voice and pleasing charm won
the hearty applause of the audience.
The judges for the contest were
Mr. W. A. White. Jr.. Dr. L. L.
Hobbs and Miss Mary Petty.
As a result of this contest, Mr.
English will represent Guilford in
the state inter-collegiate peace orato
rical contest which will be held at
Burlington on Friday, April 25.
Miss Ruth Sampson spent the
week-end at her home in Greensboro.
Visitors on the Campus Sunday
were: Messrs. Archie Johnson, Clar
ence Johnson, Shelley Beard, Worth
Winslow, and M. B. Fowler.
Miss Kate Smith spent the week
end with relatives in Jamestown.
Miss Minnie Morrison, of States
viHe, N. C., was the week-end guest
of Miss Noles.
