Guilford downed Elon in the an
nual baseball scrap in Greensboro
on Easter Monday by a score of 6-5.
"Shirt" Smith, the Quaker pitcher,
had better support than Barker, the
Elon moundsman, which helped in
the victory.
Guilford hopped off in the initial
inning with a one run lead. Elon
evened the score in the second. In
the 3rd inning the Quakers pushed
three markers across the plate, an
other in the 4th and another in the
7th which seemingly gripped the
game for the Crimson and Gray,
until Elon staged a strong rally in
the eighth frame, sending three men
across, but failing to tie the- score.
Hits for the two teams were the
same, but Guilford's counted for the
most, Elon failing to hit at the op
portune time.

The Quakers defeated Atlantic
Christian College by a score of 15-1
on Hobb's Athletic field.
Coach Doak's sluggers continu
ally showed their mettle through
the entire game. They jumped on
Summerell, Atlantic Christian Col
lege pitcher, in the third inning, and
knocked him for a "farewell." He
was called from the mound in favoi
of Suitt, but without avail against
the Quaker batsmen.
A hit by Barnhill, a sacrifice by
Summerell a d a couple of Guilford
errors in the thud ' nr'nn; cetted the
visitors their only tally.
Brilliant field work by "Block
Smith and Frank Smithdeal was one
of the features of the game. Smith
deal also had a good day at the bat.
He lined out two bingles that went
lor three baggers.
The Christians made six errors,

HARRIET ELLIOT N. C. C. W.
ADDRESSES C. E. SOCIETIES
Miss Harriet Elliot, of the North
Carolina College for Women, spoke
to the Junior and Senior Christian
Endeavor Societies Sunday evening
on "The Present Day Problems of t
World Peace."
Miss Elliot stated that at present
the times are more favorable to the
advancement of peace plans than at
any time prior to the outbreak of the
world war. Considering the many j
difficulties that have come as a result
of the war. this method of settling
disputes stirs up more difficulties
than it settles. She also spoke of
the large number of organizations
for the maintenance of peace which
defeat the very ends they wish to
further by refusing to combine and
follow a unified plan.
In discussing the possible solu
tion for the war problems, Miss
Elliot spoke of the necessity of some
world organization like the League
of Nations or the World Court. She
appealed to those present to acquaint
themselves with these organizations
before allowing themselves to be j
prejudiced against them. She re
lated numerous personal experiences
of hearing public speakers denounce
the League of Nations, the World
Court and other documents before
the people for co isideration, who
upon being questioned, confessed
| that they had never read these docu
; ments themselves.
Miss Elliot s spee h was one of a
| series of special addresses that have
been arranged for the Christian En
deavor meetings and which will con
tinue during the coming few weeks.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., APRIL 30, 1924
GLEE CLUB ENTERTAINS
LARGE AUDIENCE IN THE
ROBERT E. LEE BALLROOM
Chib Sang Its Best For Winston-
Salem People; In Greens
boro May 7
On last Thursday night every seat
in the Robert E. Lee Hotel hall- 1
room was occupied when the college
glee club played to the most appre
ciative audience that it has enter
, tained this year.
The climax of the performance
came when the entire club sang
"That Old Gang of Mine." Sighs J
could be heard throughout the audi- ,
ence and it seemed as though many
hearts were turned back to the good
j old days when they were out with
1 the gang.
Of Mr. Pamplin's violin solo the
Winston-Salem Journal says: "The
audience was held spell-bound by
Sliubert's Ave Maria and a storm of
applause followed." His encore, "A
Perfect Day," was interpreted with
a skill in the double stop passages
that only a master possesses.
Prof. , former director
of the Cornell University glee club
congratulated the Quaker organiza
tion saying that "It was a club of
; which any college might be proud.
The program was well ulanned for
variety, and was ablv executed af
fording entertainment of the highest
typ "
The club sang best in the two dra
( malic numbers, "Invictus" and "Song
iof the Volga Boatmen." The Seren
ade by Shubert, was also given with
poise, demonstrating the ability of
the club to maintain perfect control.
The oddity of the Wooden Sol
diers' Parade attracted the audience,
and critics pronounced it a faithful
reproduction of parts of the original.
The club closes its schedule with
•he home concert Saturday night and
t the appearance at the "Grand The
atre" in Greensboro next Wednesday
I night.

PROF. MOWRY TALKS ON
FOREST CONSERVATION
Prof. Mowry gave a very inter
esting talk in chapel Friday morning
on forest protection. He showed
that the wonderful forest resources
of America have, through inexcus
able prodigality, been largely ex
hausted. Twenty-five billion feet of
| timber is used yearly, while an
amount almost equally large is
wasted.
"'ln America," asserted Prof.
| Mowry, "fifty-six million acres of
j forest land are devastated by forest
J fires each year, while to meet the
I use and waste of fifty million billion
board feet of lumber each year there
is a natural growth of six billion
feet. Twenty-five per cent of the
yellow pine cut yearly is wasted.
In North Carolina, according to
State Forester, J. S. Holmes, five
hundred thousand acres annually
are burned over.
"The forest resources are more
valuable than the tobacco or cotton
! crop of North Carolina. Twenty
million board feet are sawed annu
ally. In number of species of na
tive trees, North Carolina takes a
1 very rank, twenty-three species of
oak alone being found within her
borders."
As the three chief causes of forest
I fires Mr. Mowry named sparks from
railroad engines, bonfires of rub
bish, and the carelessness of many
smokers. He stated that trees 0:1
burnt-over land, if not actually kill
ed by fire, are rendered very sus
ceptible to disease.
"Wood is truly an indispensable
material," asserted the speaker, "in
all industries it is necessary. New
England which in 1800 furnished the
greater part of the timber of the
i country is treeless now, while the
outh. the supply center for lumber
| now, if the present consumption and
waste continues, can supply no more
in fifteen years.
Charlotte High Makes Final
Capture of Silver
Loving Cup
SCORES 331,1, POINTS
Greensboro Second With 20
Points; Chapel Hill 18
For a second time the Charlotte
high school carried away the laurels
in the field and track events at Guil
ford's annual high school day held
here Saturday. Charlotte scored 33
1-2 points against the 20 points of
Greensboro and the 18 points of
Chapel Hill, her two most successful
rivals. The events were staged be
fore the largest crowd of people and
( arried out by the largest number of
contestants that has ever participated
in a contest of its kind held at
Guilford. Two hundred high school
representatives were registered.
The preliminary contests were
held in a cold drizzling rain. The
field during the forenoon was slip
pery and for this reason none of the
events showed a great deal of spirit.
However, as the weather brightened
up the field dried off and in the af
ternoon the track was in fairly good
shape.
The first event of the dav, the dis
cus throw, was won by McPherson.
of Burlington, whose distance was
94 feet. His next best rivals were
Newman, of Winston-Salem, and
Sellars, of Greensboro, with a rec
ord of 82 feet, 10 inches and 80
feet, 4 inches, respectively.
Mclver, of Chapel Hill, won the
shot put with a record of an even 40
feet. Woodward of Statesville and
Daniels of High Point followed with
scores of 35 feet. 4 inches, and 33
feet, 9 inches, respectively.
In the javelin throw, Mclver, of
Chapel Hill, also headed the list,
throwing the spear 146 feet. 9 inches.
McPherson, of Burlington, made a
record of 121 feet. I inches, follow
ed closely by Harris, of Thomasville
orphanage, whose record was 119
feet.
In the broad jump contest, Mc-
Daniel. of Rockingham high school
covered 19 feet, one inch, winning
over Hut,'hens, of Vi inston-Salem,
and Rowe, of Charlotte, whose rec
ords were 18 feet, 8 1-2 inches, and
17 feet, 7 inches, respectively.
Smith of Charlotte took first place
in the hundred yard dash. His timt*
was 10 4-5 seconds. Wilkins of
Greensboro and Hutchens of Win
ston-Salem took close second and
third places, respectively.
