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.

Prospects Rather Gloomy Pitching
Staff Weak With Loss of Col
trane and Rabb
The rise in temperature has been di
rectly proportional to the rise of inter
est in baseball at Guilford College. 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."

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.

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.

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.
