Quaker Celebrates Easter
With Two More Victories
N. Y. U. and Elon Overcome by
Holiday Onslaught of
Quaker Willow-wielders
Blanking New York University to
the tune of 5-0, and copping the
annual game from Elon 7-3, were
the Easter activities of the Quaker
diamond artists. These two suc
cesses marked up three victories
for Guilford out of the first three
contests.
The game with N. Y. U., March
30, in Greensboro, played in foggy
weather, was featured by the pitching
of Ferrell, the hitting of Hayworth
and English, and the fielding of
"Block" Smith. Ferrell with his
twisters held the Yankees to four
scattered hits. While Guilford
smacked out nine for counts. Hay
worth, out of three trip§ to the
rubber, bingled out the same number
for safe hits. Nereus English
faced the New York hurler four
times and swatted the sphere twice
for gains. "Block" Smith made a
perfect day for fielding by finding a
home for four flies in his glove.
For the visitors Flynn was the out
standing man both in his action
around the keystone sack and in his
swinging the stick.
The scoring of the Crimson and
Gray group started in the first frame
when Frazier was squeezed home
by a hit from Winn. The other
four markers were added in the
sixth, seventh and eighth by a
series of hits aided by inefficient
handling of the ball by the north
erners. Hayworth and Ferrell both
knocked out two baggers.
On Easter Monday, at Greensboro,
before a crowd of 1200 in a very
exciting contest, the Doak machine
convinced Barker, the Elon star hurl
er, that they could hit the old ap
ple. The Quakers made fifteen
hits, out of which, they turned only
seven into runs, while the Christians
marked up eight hits against "Babe"
Shore, three of whi h netted them
a counter apiece.
For the first live innings the
outcome looked remarkably like it
was going in favor of the visitors.
Up to the sixth inning the score
was 2-1 in favor of Elon. These
two runs were unearned, being made
on a series of errors by the Guil
ford infield. However, the tide
turned in the sixth, when "Block"
Smith let a wicked grounder out,

QUAKERS DROP TWO GAMES
ON RECENT EASTERN TRIP
Hoodoo on Quaker Slugging by
..Wake Forest and State 0n...
Recent Invasion of East ....
Starting their Easter trip April,
4, by playing Wake Forest at Wake
Forest, a five inning game in the
rain, Guilford lost by a 1-0 score.
On the following day she took the
blank end of a 8-0 score from N. C.
State.
The Quakers have played error
less ball against the Baptists but
failed to grasp the significance of
the twirls of Stamey the Wake For
est moundsman. Only one hit was
made by the Doak nine, a single
by Frazier in the first frame. Burge
on the mound for the Crimson and
Gray allowed the opposing team
six hits.
The feature, of the next day's
game with the State crew, was the
uncanny manner in which Guilford's
opposition could pound the ball.
Two pitchers were used against the
heavy swatters but of no avail.
Shore and Ferrell for Guilford al
lowed State 12 hits, while on the
other hand Curtis yielded only one
scratch hit to his visitors.
State's failure to bunch hits kept
the scoring well scattered through
out the game.
FLOTOW S MARTHA" TO BE
PRESENTED BY CHORUS
"Martha," music by Friedrich
von Flotow will be presented in
concert form by the choral society
of Guliford college at a near date.
The society met on Monday night
and started rehearsals under the di
rection of James Westley White.
Mr. White announces that soloists
will be secured from both Winston-
Salem and Greensboro to sing the
principal parts.
"Martha" is an opera that has
been presented in the greatest opera
houses over the world. The late
Enrico Caruso considered the role
of Linonel, in the opera, one of
his favorite interpretations and a
revival of the work is announced
for the 1923-24 season of the Chica
go Civic opera company with
possibly Amelita Galli-Curci in the
title role.
The scoring for the chorus is
characterized by strong melodies
and brilliant climaxes, and also of
fers unusual possibilities for a
endsi ri acf vbgkqj cmfwycm
quartet. Among the solo parts may
be found "The Last Rose of Sum
mer," loved by the whole English
speaking world, and "Like a
Dream," a melodious air for the
tenor.
Commences Work On
Chemistry Thesis.
Ralph Farlow has commenced
work on his thesis in chemistry,
which deals with some laboratory
procedures in molecular wegiht de
terminations.
GUILFOBD COLLEGE, N. C„ APRIL 11, 1923
ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN
NEARS GOAL IN COUNTY
High ..Point ..Passes Half-way
Mark; Winston Will
Start Soon
With subscriptions totaling over
SIOO,OOO Guilford county is rap
idly approaching her goal in the
endowment campaign for our col
lege. Guilford's part of the state's
8175,000 is $125,000. That this
amount will be raised from the
territory to be canvassed is now
certain.
The campaign in Greensboro un
der the leadership of R. J. M.
Hobbs has reached the $60,000
mark. Together with the Guilford
College community, Greensboro will
raise $75,000. The college com
munity has already subscribed
$7,500, of which amount nearly
$4,000 was contributed by the fac
ulty of the institition. The cam
paign is continuing quietly now,
following the wide advertising done
during the active drive.
D. Ralph Parker, chairman of the
campaign in High Point, reports that
approximately $35,000 of the $60,-
000 pledged has been subscribed.
High Point is at the same time
supporting a $250,000 drive for
the Y. M. C. A. The canvass
there has been limited to Friends
and old students of Guilford, and
has not covered the field of the
Y. M. C. A. More work is to
be done in High Point which will
result in raising the amount to the
goal set. This work is planned to
continue throughout the summer, and
is receiving the support of W. C.
Idol, J. Elwood Cox, R. R. Ragan
and other prominent High Pointers.
"There is no doubt that the Furni
ture City will raise her full quota
of $60,000, but we are going about
it in a very quiet manner," said one
of the city's financiers.
C. C. Smithdeal, president of the
alumni association and vice-president
of Forsythe county club, will head
the campaign in Winston-Salem
which is to be launched, May 1.
The goal is set at $25,000. The
drive will be worked quietly but
thoroughly by the alumni.
Thomasville has not been thor
oughly organized as yet but the
movement is being directed by
Brown and Austin Finch, alumni of
Guilford. Drives will be launched
in Randolph county and Wayne
county during the latter part of
April and May. The total amount
of $175,000 bids fair to be sub
scribed from the state by the mid
dle of summer.

enough to hold the interest of the
spectators throughout the contest
Both teams put up a snappy fight.
From the beginning the freshmen
held the lead, it remained thus
until the final whistle blew and the
score board told the tale.

Varied Program Is Well Exe
cuted; Features are
Popular
The college clee club made its
final bow of the season on the
home stage at Memorial hall, last
Saturday evening, April 7, before a
large and highly appreciative audi
ence from college and community.
The club, under the direction of
Miss Beatrice Lynne Byrd, and the
orchestra, with Miss Virginia Rob
inson as conductor, delivered one
of the most enjoyed entertainments
of the year.
A number of unusually good feat
ures were presented on the program.
The most impressively romantic
was that of the gypsies. After
Drdla's wistful "Souvenir," a violin
solo by the gypsy Benbow Mer
riman, "Gypsy Trail" and "Gypsy
Life" were given by the quartette,
Frazier, Mackie, Crutch field and
Casey, in vivid costume.
The sailors, Joyce, Reynolds, Far
lowe, and Barbee were quite clever
and attractive. "Sailing" and "The
Boatswain Bold" were well receiv
ed. The sailor's hornpipe was a
brilliant exhibition of the mari
ner's Terprichorean art. The most
ner's Terpsichorean art. The most
ly Steal Away," which was liter
ally interpreted by the quartette.
As readings, "She Always Pow
ders Her Nose" by Gue% and the
"Essay on the Duck," were given by
James Joyce in a very impressive
manner, which was enthusiastically
applauded.
Frank Casey's whistling solo was
one of the most exquisite arid beau
tiful numbers. The birdlike trills
in the "Sunshine of Your Smile,"
and and "The Bluebird of Happi
ness" delighted the audience thor
oughly.
The "Juba Dance" by J. P.
Cude on the jewsharp was greeted
gleefully, this classic instrument be
ing unusual on the concert stage.
His encore was "Japanese Moon."
J. G. Frazier's impersonation
of Harry Lauder in "Roamin' in the
the Gloamin,'" received much ap
plause.
The glee club numbers, "Marching
Men," the pathetic and splendid
