March 20, 1929 QUAKES We understand that it is definitely decided that Elvin Haworth will not get a letter in basketball this year. Ac cording to the stipulations regarding the number of games played and the number of winning games played, he easily earned one. We would like to know why ineligibility due to studies should cut so much ice. In football, men who were out due to injuries and one who was ineligible because of hav iiig played at another college, Were given letters. Elvin Haworth was one of the best, if not "the best, on the team. He alone scored 21 points against Wake Forest. If those who are getting letters had done half that well, the Deacons would have been swamped. The baseball material, although some what green, is beginning to show us some stuff and in the course of a couple of weeks should be ready to start func tioning. It is a right neat fielding crew, but have not been through the acid test in hitting. Zachary is showing up nicely as pitcher. He, Mcßane, and Sykes will probably bear the brunt of the hurling attack. Davis is giving Mutt Melvin a run for his money as catcher, having a better peg. Mutt was catcher last year and has more experi ence, however. The outcome of this duel will be interesting to notice. Both will perhaps see some action. Track is well under way and pros pects are fair for a winning team. There is a shortage of dash material. Jassimedes maintains that he does not intend to run, Jimmy Harper is out for baseball and Stan Moore has a weak heart. Harper may go out for track later on and if enough people beg Jas simedes, he might show his wares. Co ble looks unusually good in everything lie tries. He is out for hurdles, 440 dash, high, pole vault, and maybe others. Prospects are fair for a Little Six meet this year. As Guilford was cham pion of that conference last year, she heartily endorses such an event. The place has not been named, but we would like to see it at Guilford or at the stadium in Greensboro. Practically the same track schedule as last year has been arranged for the Quaker with the possible addition of two or three new meets. We predict that it will not be long before traek will be a major sport at Guilford as well as every other college in the coun try. FLOWERS Sykes Florists, Inc.

The boys are "getting hot" in every sense of the expression. There is lively com petition for every place on the team. Fukasawa is trying to push Chisholm off of first base and Melvin and Davis are fighting it out behind home plate. The batting ability of these individuals will go far toward determining who will play. Zachary, Sykes and Mcßane will undoubtedly compose the pitchers' staff, which needs more season ma terial. Cox, Marshall and Captain Parrish are furnishing the tar buckets for the outfield, and "Swampy" Stout may stay out there some. Coach Shepard seems to know the game well enough. He has quite a fine record as a coach and as a player. His standing with the players is un usually good, and co-operation is as sured. However, he has only four let ter men on the squad. The whole team is showing up well handling the ball. Now the point to be determined is the batting ability of the team. Needless to say, fielding alone can not win ball games. Someone must go around the bases occasionally. Both of last year's pitchers failed to return this year. Coltrane lost his amateur standing by playing profes sional baseball last summer. Rabb is married. "I'm a junior." "That right?" "Yes, sir. Johnny Jones, Junior." See ISAACSON'S for your next Suit or Florsheim Shoes and Furnishings Ask Scott Benton and Save Money 308 S.

Js/ 1/ LASTING GIFTS / THE GUILFORDIAN HOPES OF "LITTLE SIX" TRACK MEET ARE MATERIALIZING More Meets Than Last Year on 1929 Quaker Card—Class Meet Comes Off Soon DEAN TRUEBLOOD COACH Only Four Letter Men Lost—Much New Material on Hand—Charles Coble Captain of 1929 Squad With the class meet in sight, and promise of additional meets, including a Little Six tournament, the Quaker cindermen are working hard to get into shape. Dean Trueblood is coaching the squad and has fair material to work with. Although baseball and track are conflicting, the dash men will probably be Harper, Jassimedes, Haworth, Stan Moore, who has never lost a 440 at Guilford is disabled by a weak heart. Short and Haworth are the best bids for the hurdles, having performed best in that event last year. William Al ley, Ayers, and Captain Coble will bear the colors in the distance events, of which we hardly need to worry. Ha worth will probably do the pole-vault ing also and even high jumping with Holt and maybe Stan Moore. Love, Iloyle, Holt and Murphy will take care of the field events. Ragan, 440 flash, may be induced to run in that event. He has run it in 52 seconds, a record unlikely to be broken in Little Six circles. Manager Short is doing his best to furnish vic tims for the Quakers. Last year they placed fifth in the state meet; how ever, Pate and Ed Moore did not re turn this year, and their loss is keenly felt. Nevertheless, if all track material were utilized, it is entirely probable that a team better than that of 1928 would be produced. -f. NEW ADDITION TO L. L. WILLIAMS' FAMILY (Continued from Page One) will be his heritage from this first source. Second, he will be expected to master from cover to cover such men as Messrs. James Thorndike, Dewey— more antique ones, as Herbert, Pesta lozzi, Aristotle and Socrates. He will be poring over these authors when other youngers will be riding kiddy carts, wearing rompers and pestering their mothers for and with all-day suckers. We have a deeper sympathy for the contemporary flappers if he inherits the good looks of his mother; on the other hand, if he inherits fatherly mien he will have to get knowledge, wisdom, and understanding to compensate.

SOPH GIRLS WIN CAGE TILT FROM FRESHMEN Thereby Acquiring Unofficial Class Championship—Wafford, Guthrie and Armfield Star In a rather close game, the Sopho more girls defeated the Yearlings by an 18-12 score. The Freshmen had been accepted as the strongest class team on the campus, and consequently their downfall was a surprise. The Freshman forwards, who had garnered about 11 points each against the Jun iors, were completely dumbfounded by the air-tight guarding of Martha Arm field and Leona Guthrie, and were not able to score with any consistency. Eftie Dunn and Virginia Clayton were the high lights in the Freshman attack, while Edna Wafford led the Sopho more scoring. Due to the ineligibility of some of the Sophomores they can not claim the official championship; however, the contest was indicative of the relative strength of the two class teams. Students!

TO COACH IN VA Signs Three-Year Contract t Coach Randolph-Macon Athletes RESIGNS UNEXPECTEDLY Comes As a Blow to Student Body—H Leaves After Making Champion ship Grid Team Out of a clear sky came Shepard' resignation as head coach at Guilfori College. Shepard announced that h had signed a three-year contract wit] Randolph Macon College. He hastene* to state that there was no ill-feelin| between him and any attaches of Guil ford and that his association here ha been of the friendliest sort. He has done a great deal for Guil ford, producing a strong football tean which "has a clear-cut claim to thi Little Six championship," according ti Netherwood. Shepard started the basketball tean on a brilliant career also, but wai greatly handicapped by illness, injuriei and ineligibility of players. Neverthe less, among its victims were Wofford Wake Forest and Roanoke. Randolph-Macon is to be envied, ai they will receive a capable, experienced and likeable coach. He produced i Southern Conference team at Carolina also doing wonders in freshman sporti there. His record as an athlete is en viable, as an amateur and as a pro fessional. He saw quite a bit of dia mond action while in the tobacco busi ness in China, and kept up his coaching activities while there. The Guilford athletes, as well as th student body, have become attached tc "Sliep," and will regard his loss a greal and almost irreparable one.
