EDITORIAL
We are well into the baseball
season. No doubt about that.
We have met and been defeated
by Carolina and Trinity. The
defeats are no dishonor to Guil
ford. The team did good work.
Anyone can vouch for that, that
saw the games. The team Guil
ford is putting out this spring
will do good work and be a cred
it to the College. But will it ad
vertise Guilford ? When the
team is advertised in Greensboro
or High Point, will the people
go to see the team that played
the University and Trinity and
lhad excellent chances for winn
ing but .... as a player remark
ed,'"Just had bad luck."
But it is always just bad luck.
Football. We play Trinity first
game of the season. We are de
feated. Team crippled. -Score
reads GO-0. Cooled enthusiasm.
No particular interest shown by
student body in the team until
Elon-Guilford game.
Basketball. Played Carolina
first game. Defeated. Play Trin
ity second game. Defeated. But
team begins to show brilliant
prospects. As season advances
the team makes excellent record.
But initial defeats destroy the
last vestage of hope among sup
porters of the team for the state
championship, however bright or
vague.
Baseball. Carolina Gto Guil
ford 1. Trinity 3to Guilford 0.
Same story. Then the score of
the Wake Forest game. Guil
ford Bto Wake Forest 4. The
lagging interest quickens, the
student body smiles with pride.
But the interest is not what it
would have been if we had four
or five victories at the beginning
of the season, and the defeats
just a li+t'e later than the first
games of the season.
Does anyone remember the
wild enthusiasm manifested dur
ing the 1922-23 basketball sea
son? When Guilford won the
first five games of the season,
how the gymnasium was packed?
How all Guilfordians yelled
spontaneously for the Quaker
season; even with the usual de
feats thrown in ? That year
Guilford did not play Carolina
and Trinity the first two games
of the season, and get all the
glamour of success worn off be
fore the season was well on.
It is no disgrace for the team
to be defeated bv Carolina or
Trinity. Guilford's team makes
a creditable showing every time.
But why do the managers find
it necessary to start the season
off with these two institutions,
before the Quaker team is in the
best of form. It is always the
same tale at the end of the sea
son. "The team got better ev
ery game." and by the end of
the season, figures will show
that she has her share of victor
ies to prove its quality and the
score makes an interesting write
up for the sport paper —that is
• —after the season.
Guilford's masculine enroll
ment of the future depends on
two things: the kind of courses
offered by the College and the
drawing power—in other words
the reputation of quality—of her
atldetic team. There is no
doubt about it. every normal
high school boy of today does
or is lead to judge, a college by
its athletic prowess. And as
long as Guilford starts the sea
son oft" with defeats, no matter
if the final report may read 12
games won, 6 lost—the psycho
logical effect on the student
body will be for the worse, and
value—the advertising value—
will be decidedly weakened.

of Guilford's runs. The Patriots
chalked up only one more hit
than Coack Doak's pets but
they were able to secure them at
the critical times and this
meant runs. Guilford scored in
the first inning, French Smith
ground out a single and stole
second. He was brought home
by a two baser from the hands
of Smithdeal. Another marker
came in the third inning after
Smithdeal lined out another two
sacker. followed by a hit from
Cummings. The final two runs
were scored by Shore's blow that
sent the sphere into distant
lands.
Both sides used three pitchers.

tered in a discussion of the
traits of the loyal American.
Ernest Cude was the third
speaker of the evening. In deal
ing with his subject, "Educa
tion," lie gave it a much broader
interpretation than is the usual
custom. Rather than giving a
history of education or offering a
plan for bettering the education
al conditions, he summarized
briefly what education has meant
to the world.
The last oration with the ex
ception of the winning one, was
delivered by Gray Herring. In
developing his subject, "Our Po
litical Necessity," he showed the
existing need of a governing
faction with broader ideals.
The judges for the contest
[were Dr. L. L. Robbs. Mr. Fred
Morris, and Dr. Elwood Perisho,
who awarded the prize to the
winner. In a short talk prior to
delivering the medal, he stated
that all of the contestants were
they had received from making
winners because of the good
so good an effort.
THE GUILFORDIAN
EDUCATION IN SOUTH,
SUBJECT CHAPEL TALK
PROFESSOR J. D. WHITE
"An inspirational address,"
perhaps best describes Prof. J.
D. White's chapel talk on April
4. He began with a discussion
of an address by Dr. (Mom.
head of the Social Science de
partment at the University of
North Carolina.
This address expressed the be
lief that the South produces mors
and retains fewer superior men
than an> r other section. It fur
ther pointed out the weaknesses
of the South as lack of know
ledge. lack of thought, reading,
writing, work, and excess of
talk.. "Education must teach t >
think, appreciate, apply truth,
enjoy fully. Everybody must be
educated," said Prof. White, "for
education brings out the and
noblest in the huuman character.
All teachers must carry on this
work—all must exert their ut
most efforts in the same direc
tion. The work must not be
easy, for those succeed best who
have competition, who have
to strive against obstacles."
"Everything worth while
costs," the speaker continued.
"One has to pay in advance for
the finest things, and that cash
down. Do all that can be done,
learn all that can be learned,
strive for all that is worth while.
We today are fighting a more
terriffic battle against ignorance
and indifference that did Lee in
his Virginian campaign.
