VOL XI.
Guilford Sluggers Crush State
Champions in Hard Fought Game
Smith Allows Only Four
Hits and Strikes Out 13
Techmen
CLOSE SCORE OF 2 1
Team Plays in Mid-Season
Form—No Errors Made
The Guilford Quaker nine came
off the diamond victors in a clean
and deserved victory over the State
College team Wednesday after
noon by the score of 2-1. The
State champions under the tutor
ship of "Chick'' Doak showed
splendid form and the same deter
mination that carried them to
the Slate championship last year.
However, they were not equal to
ihe occasion Wednesday afternoon
when they met the Quaker nine.
The game was exciting and thrill
ing throughout and never did the
scrapping spirit die down until
the last State man was put out.
Johnson and Holland Play
The techmen realized at the
very start that they would have
a real fight, so they "shipped"
Red Johnson and "Dutch" Hol
land up from Raleigh to help de
feat Guilford but the effort was
all in vain for these leaguers who
had been ruled out of college
baseball by the Southern confer
ence rules could do nothing with
the slants of Lefty Smith and each
fanned out thrice.
Smith Pilches
It was due largely to the mas
terful pitching of "Shirt" Smith
that the Quakers came out victor
ious. While allowing but four
hits, he made 13 of State's heavy
hitters whiff the breeze. State
threatened to score twice, but was
successful only once, for Smith
kept a cool head and used his re
serve strength.
This clean-cut victory over last
year's State chinmpions and the
high light among the so-called
"big five" was not due entirely to
the mound work of Smith, for ev
ery member of the team gave their
all, and played errorless ball be
hind Smith. In short Guilford
would have been hard to beat that
day even by big leaguers.
Techmen Threaten to Score
The Techmen had the first
chance to score, this being in the
fourth inning, when C. Shuford
got a two-hagger. Up to this time
neither team had even threatened
to score. Shuford died on third
base. After that the visitors did
not get an opportunity to score
until the eighth when they made
their lone tally.
English Scores in Fifth
Guilford scored first in the jfifth.
English was the first man up and
sent the ball for a ride into the
wheat field which lies in deep
centerfield, and easily made a
triple out of it. Griffin was next
up aid fanned. R. Smith was the
next to bat and hit out a short
grcunder nd English scored, as
the runner was being thrown out
at first.
The Q.takers' next score was
made in the sixth. Frazier got a
hit over shortstop, and Ferrell ad
vanced the runner to second. C.
Smith came to bat and scored
Frazier 011 a sharp single to cen
tdrfiekl. Lindley s|ingled and
Smith went to second, but English
ended the inning with an out.
State Scores in Eighth
The Techmen made their single
run in the eighth. Correll hit

DOCTOR BINFORD TELLS
IN SERIES OF TALKS,
HOW TO BUILD COLLEGES
Stresses Spiritual Life,
Character and Good
Hill as Foundation
Dr. Binford talked during the chapel
periods Tuesday and Wednesday morn
ings 011 "The Building of a College."
"Good will is one of the very important
things in building a college," said Dr.
Binford.
Most colleges start with small pro
positions and build gradually. The
speaker enumerated the many things
to be considered in building a college.
First, there must be buildings. Some
of the other essentials are endowment,
equipment, faculty, student body, cur
riculum, good will, spiritual life, char
acter, citizenship, and an atmosphere of
culture and refinement.
"We are short in class rooms and
equipment," said Dr. Binford. "We
also need a new gymnasium. We are
planning to make additional classrooms
and to build a new gymnasium soon.
We are planning to have offices and
rooms for social and recreational needs
of the college in the front part of the
new gvinn. Back of this there will be

Collection of Plays
Added to the Library
I wenty or more plays, ranging from
heaviest of tragedy, to the most farcial
of farces, were recently turned over to
the Library to begin a Drama shelf, by
the Dramatic Council. These plays,
which have been accumulated by the
Council during its four or more years
of constant buying, reading and choos
ing of possible plays for production,
will make an interesting shelf, because
of its variety, and not altogether class
ical nature.
Noted Rosarian Makes
Liberal Gift of Plants
J. Gurney Hill, of Richmond, Ind.,
who visited Guilford some time ago and
gave an interesting talk on roses, re
cently sent President Binford an as
sorted collection of sixty rose bushes
as a gift. President Binford with the
assistance of several men has converted
one side of his yard into a rose garden,
and is looking forward to the time
when the roses bloom, to get the full
effect of such a large number and such
a varied assortment of roses.
Mr. Hill is internationally known as
a rosarian and has had first prize en
tries in the London and Paris flower
shows. His "Madam Butterfly" rose,
is especially well known, having won
first prize in several consecutive dis
plays.
PLAY, "SMILIN' THROUGH,"
AND WAKE FOREST BASE
BALL GAME ON APRIL 25
Features of the Annual
Home-coming Day
The annual spring homecoming day,
scheduled for April 25, offers Guil
fordians a double attraction, when
the Quaker ball club clashes bats
with Wake Forest in the afternoon,
and the Dramatic Council presents its
spring production, "Smilin' Through;"
three act comedy success, as the even
ing feature of the program.
If advance dope means anything
ball fans will witness a great game
in the contest with the Baptists. With
both clubs playing in mid-season form,
and with teams holding a record of
victories which makes them strong con
tenders for championship honors in
the state, the game will have particular
significance in college baseball circles,
and a brand of ball will be displayed
calculated to interest the most critical
followers of the sport.
Following the game all Guilfordians
will be guests of the college at dinner
in Founders dining hall.
A large crowd should remain for
the annual spring production of the
Dramatic Council, "Smilin' Through,"
the proceeds of which will go to the
Athletic association.
The play was made famous 011 stage
and screen by Jane Cowl and Norma
Talmadge, running for two seasons
011 Broadway and playing return en
gagements in all the large "movie"
houses of the country. It promises to
be one of the most popular produc
tions ever presented by the Council.
Those who know the story of the play,
with all its human appeal, its quaint
ness costume and beauty of setting,
and who are acquainted with the qual
ity of work done by the college dra
matic organization are confident of a
successful evening's entertainment.
While for those who are strangers on
the campus there awaits a delightful
surprise.

The campus presented a spectacle
Saturday night that has been character
istic only of the night of opening recep
tion and stunt social. Immediately after
supper the quadrangle became dotted
with straggling couples who were avail
ing themselves of the opportunity of
walking in the twilight that has ab
sorbed so much of the attention of
poets and nature-lovers—and other
lovers. Some of the couples of a less
peregnnative nature perched them
selves against the trunks of trees to talk
and calmly await the bell that was to
call the "wandering" home.
Early in the evening the party gath
ered into the halls, some at Founders
