QUAKES
H. S. W'ms., Jr,
We wish to congratulate Coach
Anderson, Faculty Manager Shep
.herd, and all others who have con
tributed to the success of the 1930-
31 athletic season. We feel that the
past year has been one of the most
successful, efficient, and profitable
years in the history of Quaker ath
letics and it is those men, who have
worked so hard to make it so, who
deserve the credit.
Guilford has not recently had the
honor of claiming as its own, one
who has so ably demonstrated his
ability as an athlete as Robert B.
Jamieson. Not only was Bob out
standing in one field of athletics,
but quite efficient in four: Foot
ball, basketball, baseball and track.
We wish to commend him for his
success.
As the doors of the college swing
closed upon another year the doors
of Collegiate Sportdom swing closed
forever upon several of those who
have fought and sacrificed them
selves for the sake of Quaker teams.
Not only do we wish to cherish their
memory and hope them success but
to praise them—especially the ones
who were only mediocre and not stars
—for their accomplishments.

All of the spring teams, baseball,
track, and tennis turned in confer

Fraziers. His four letters are for
football, basketball, baseball, and
track.
Tom Cheek, Dillard Chisholm, and
Elvin Hayworth have the honor of
receiving "Gs" for three sports.

THE GUILFORDIAN
HISTORY Ur ATHLETICS
AT GUILFORD REVIEWED
Quakers Were One Of First
To Enter Collegiate
Athletics
WON MANY CAMPIONSHIPS
When in the year 1888, New Gar
den Boarding School ceased to exist
as a secondary institution and became
Guilford College, the need for a
change in the physical recreation
program was immediately felt. The
various juvenile games and "sandlot"
baseball, under strict supervision of
the keenly observing faculty, should
also cease, as such activities were not
in harmony with the dignity of col
lege men and women. In those "good
ol' days" baseball and similar games
were considered somewhat of a mis
demeanor as innumeral objections
were raised to the national pastime
of today. General opinions were, that
if an eleventh commandment had
been added it would have read; "Thou
shalt not play baseball."
The surplus energy, of the college
youths engaged in extensive mental
activity and realizing the need for
recreation, soon found a natural out
let for in the Guilford Collegian of
December, 'BB, the following state
ment appeared: "Football, baseball,
tennis, and marbles have claimed at
tention here this term. We do not
see why the boys do not organize an
Athletic Association and carry on
these exercises more systematical
ly." The suggestion bore fruit. Early
in 'B9 the boys organized an associa
tion and gave an entertainment,
charging fifteen cents admission in
ordtr to finance the novel undertak
ing. A few days of practice and
March 7 arrived. This date is of sig
nificant historical importance, as
Guilford met her first rival, the
strong "Live Oaks" of Oak Ridge,
on the athletic field.
Let us imagine this first departure
to invade another diamond. The play
ers are standing around in groups,
discussing the important event which
is soon to take place. A lumbering
farm wagon appears on the scene,
drawn by two long-eared animals
(probably one of them was Cassio
peia). The excitement grows intense,
unorganized yells rent the air, and
no doubt the mules added a kick to
the affair. As the captain climbs over
the front wheel into the "Carolina
Coach," some loyal coed hurls at
him, "Thee must bring home the ba
con," or some ancestor of this mod
ern expression to denote victory.
The "chauffeur" takes up the reins
and at a rapid trot they pass through
the College Gate. The team is off, to
write the first page in the long and
glorious history of Guilford athletics.
It was a great game, but Oak Ridge
with a more experienced team beat
us by a close score.
The success of the team added im
petus to the desire for competition
on the campus, so in April, that un
heard-of-thing—a girl's baseball
team—was formed. They played a
number of intra-class games, but in
terest waned as the weather grew
warmer. The boys, probably jealous
of the invasion into their realm and
and not knowing' how the girls ob
tained equipment, accused them of
stealing balls from the Athletic As
sociation.
When the fall term opened base
ball immediately came into prestige
and remained King of Sports, with
many loyal and enthusiastic subjects,
until November. There was good ma
terial out and as a result Guilford
won the State Championship, by
winning four games, one of which
was our first intercollegiate game
with Trinity. Everyone took honest
pride in the teams' achievements and
long accounts appeared in the col
lege publication. Altho not advocat
ing the baseball "craae," the student
body saw the splendid results of the
game, and it has become firmly estab
lished as one of the extracurricular
activities.

SEMI-FINALS HELI) MAY 11
The Women's athletic career for
1930-31 was brought to a glorious cli
max last week when the Juniors won
the championship in baseball.
On Monday, May 11, the seniors
played the sophomores and the Jun
iors waged combat against the Fresh
men in the semi-finals. The two up
per classes won their contests.
Wednesday 13th the final game was
played. This was an important game
since it would determine the Quak
erette Championship.
The game was speedy and interest
ingly played. Leona Guthrie and Lot
tie Stafford were very efficient in
their position on the mound and were
supported by strong team-mates.
The score was 17-10 in favor of the
Juniors. Perhaps the seniors feel
that that 13th was an unlucky day.

Lawn Tennis seemed to die a nat
ural death as the more popular game
monopolized attention. It had been
previously played but not in a sys
tematic way. The game straggled
along with varying interest until
April 1894, when a Tennis League
was formed. Four new courts were
added and used so extensively that
other sports almost died during the
spring months. The impetus given
the sport this year was sO( thorough
that it also became permanently
established on the campus.
From the beginning of college,
there had been numerous pleas em
phasizing the necessity of a gymnas
ium to add impetus to indoor ath
letics. In 1872, a woman's gym was
completed, but there were no organiz
ed gymnastics until '95 when five
classes were formed in which nearly
every student was included. Basket
ball rose to immediate popularity as
a feminine game, but the boys would
not consider indulging in such a
tame sport.
The College Pond was the center
of much recreation and fun during
the early years. In winter, skating
was extremely popular. To keep the
pond engaged when the ice was gone,
six row boats were purchased and
there was talk of a Boat Club. Some
of the most pleasant memories of
college days for many alumni were
connected with a boat ride in the cool
of the evening.
It was about three years before
the gridiron was a scene of strenuous
action and many more before the
stadium vibrated with the applauses
of an excited multitude. It was realiz
ed that football season was on but
the game did not rise to immediate
prominence. The boys played it, in a
rather haphazard manner and on De
cember 11, the Freshmen beat the
Juniors in the first game ever played
on the campus. This gave the game
an excellent start and November 4,
1893, Guilford played Charlotte. We
lost by a score of 12-10 in a hard
fought game. Captain Graves chal
lenged the Queen City lads to a re
turn conflict but it was not accept
ed. The sport has increased in im
portance every year since this initial
start.

HARDY IS DISCUSSED
BY ELEANOR BANGS
IN CHAPEL TALK
"The Man And The Poet" Is
Approach Chosen By
Honor Student
MAJOR IN ENGLISH DEPT.
On Monday, May 18, Eleanor
Bangs, who is a major in English
and one of the Juniors qualified for
honor work, delivered her talk on
Thomas Hardy, "The Man and the
Poet."
She began by'telling of how in
early childhood he was fragile, pre
cocious, and very sensative to music.
In youth Thomas was susceptible to
several love attacks, one of which
was with Louisa, a farmer's daugh
ter, but his timidy only allowed a
"good evening" to her. She was the
inspiration of "Louisa in the Lane,"
written shortly before his death.
Hardy's early education consisted
of reading, grammar and drawing.
Facing his choice for his future,
Hardy struggled between literature
aand architecture, his first book was
strongly criticised by the "Specta
tor," but was safely transferred to
the literary world by his laater writ
ings.
His sister said that "there was
more of Hardy, himself, in a hun
dred lines of his poetry than in all
the novels he ever wrote." Hardy's
definition of poetry is "Poetry is emo
tion put into measure." His poetry
was not understood when first pub
lished because of his satire. Illus
trating this, Miss Bangs read "A
Kiss."
Hardy did not believe in immor
tality, his ideas on this being ex
pressed in "Ah! Are Vou Digging
On My Grave?"
AILEEN PEGG CONTRASTS
SHELLEY AND BROWNING
On Thursday, May 14, the English
department was represented in Chap
el by Aileen Pegg, who gave "The
Contrast of Shelley and Browning."
She sketched their early lives by
telling of the disagreeable home and
school environment that was Shelley's
and contrasting it with the esteem
and love of Browning for his pa
rents and teachers.
In mature life they were friends
but somewhat restrained—having dif
ferent characteristics and philosophy.
Shelley was a believer in the uni
versal spirit manifested in nature,
but was an atheist. Browning dis
cussed the existence of God.
The chief difference in their sub
ject matter was Shelley's use of na
ture and Browning's domestic life.
ing into vogue, a desire for a college
yell was expressed. The objections
raised to it were: it is not a very
musical or polite way of expression,
it is too barbarous for dignified col
lege students, and it is not a very
lady-like method for the girls. Never-,
theless popular opinion won, and the
following yell was introduced as a
necessary part to every game:
"Boom—la—yo!
Boon—la—yo!
Guilford! Guilford!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
1895 saw Guilford College "sitting
on top of the world," or at least the
athletic world. The baseball, football,
and tennis teams had each been vic
torious in almost every conflict and
were awarded the championship. The
teams were so good that for many
years afterwards an extra promising
team was referred to "as the best
since '95."
We have seen how Guilford rose
rapidly from obscurity to prominence
and then to leadership, within the
short period of six years. The sports
manship, enthusiasm, and loyalty of
those years is the background for a
long and honorable record upon
which our present system is based.

The 1931 Quakers have just finish
ed a successful season winning 8 of
the 13 games played. Coach Ander
son's men got off to a good start by
swamping Elon in the first game of
the season 14-7. Captain Zachary
pitched a brilliant 5 hit game against
Davidson for the second win. The
Quakers went down 9-8 fighting des
perately against the "Mountain
Bears" at Hickory. Wake Forest was
defeated, here, in the next game, a
slugging affray 10-7. Nelson came
through with a 7 hit game against
Davidson and won G-2. In the mud
battle with Appalachian the Quak
ers emerged victorious 11-4. For the
second time Elon bowed before Zach
ary's pitching 7-2. The "Deacons" got
revenge for their earlier defeat by the
Andersonites by winning 3-0, al
though they were limited to 5 hits
again by Zachary. Pierce led the
Quakers to a 4-2 victory over Bridge
water by allowing only 4 hits. In the
last game played on home ground
Guilford handed Lenoir-Rhyne the
short end of the 8-G score. The Quak
ers failed to do much hitting in the
third Elun game and lost 4-2. Need
ing one more game to win the Con
ference Championship, the squad
journeyed to Catawba to play a dou
ble-header on May 12. The game with
Catawba here had been rained out in
the fourth innfng with Guilford lead
ing 6-0. The Guilfordians were unable
to break the Catawba jinx in either
grueling encounters and went down
battling desperately in both games by
one run margins 4-2 and 5-4. By win
ning these two games, Catawba is
ahead in games won but has not won
enough games to claim the title, so
Guilford has put in a claim for the
title.
The team fielded pretty good, espe
cially the outfield. Several players
had batting averages well above .300.
The pitching was particularly good;
Captain Zachary was the main-stay
but Pierce and Nelson turned in sev
eral excellent games. Tom Cheek,
who played excellent ball at first base,
Irvan Davis, the dependable catcher,
and Captain Zachary will be lost by
graduation this year. "Tip" Chisholm,
the flashy left-fielder is captain
elect for next year.

umbrella over a woman's head to

marriage, to keep her hat dry.
