Victories and Eight
Defeats.
WORST BEATING BY ELON
Team Looked Good Against Carolina
and Duke; Hitting Has Im
proved Considerably.
A siumnnry of the baseball season
so far reveals a total of eight victories
against eight defeats. Two of the de
feats were administered by larger
teams. Duke and Carolina, and another
was suffered at the hands of the El
inira professional club. The worst beat
ing of the year was given the Quakers
by Eton, the score being 13-0.
The season opened for Guilford on
Tuesday, March 27, when the team
journeyed to Greenville to defeat East
ern Carolina Teachers College by the
score of 7-4. On the following Thurs
day and Friday two games were taken
from Atlantic Christian. In the sec
ond game, Purnell allowed only two
hits. On Monday, April 2, in a game
marred by many errors for both teams,
Elon was beaten 7-0.
Swain Allows One Hit
In the first home game Western
Carolina Teachers came out on tTie
short end of an 18-1 count. In this
scrap Swain allowed only one hit, one
walk, and had twelve strikeouts. The
following day Guilford lost to Elmira.
It was a hard fought contest but the
professional linally won In the ninth
inning, 5-4. The fourth inning closed j
with both teams carding four runs.
The next live innings were scoreless;
however, in the ninth grume the pro
fessionals pushed one across the plate
for the winning run. Three days later
the Quakers were dated to play Elon,
another home game. This game ended
with Elon walking home with an easy
10-1 victory and a revenge over the
first game which the Quakers won.
This game was the Quakers' first eon
ference defeat of the season.
On April 12 Guilford continued its
lasing streak, by being defeated by
Iligh Point. It was a loosely played
contest by both teams, with High Point
finally winning 13-11.
On Friday, April 13, in the first game
of a short trip away, Guilford nosed
out Catawba 14-12. in this game the
Quakers scored eight runs in the first
inning. The next day Catawba evened
matters by winning 10-7. An inter
est fng point, in this game was the fact
that Catawba got six hits including a
homer in the first inning and scored
only two runs.
Elon Wins l.t-0
The team traveled to Elon oil Thurs
day, April 10, and were defeated 13-0.
This was the second straight victory
for tile Christians over Guilford. In
this game as in the last a large part
of the credit for ;he victory went to
the Elon pitcher, Mike ltriggs. Only
three hits were allowed. The next day
a licking was taken from Duke at
Durham 11-7. Guilford only gathered
three bits. Xoktenis, Duke pitcher,
was credited with fifteen strikeouts.

against Carolina. The Tar Heels won
this game by a score of 0-7.

QUAKER SPORTS
QUAKES
By CHARLIE MacKENZIE
Well, after more, than a month's vacation from work on this
sheet it's rather tough getting- back on the job again.
That track trip to Virginia certainly was a disastrous journey with
Hampden-Sydney running circles around the boys to the tune of 101'/.
to 24 1 4. The services of such men as Turner, Wilkie, Boutin, and
Massy Tonge would have greatly helped the team. One thing in par
ticular we would have liked to have seen in this meet was Burgwyn in
the role of a sprinter.
One consolation to the track men is the fact that Hampden-
Sydney probably has the strongest team of any of those to be
met this year.
The tennis team deserves a word of praise for supplying the college
with courts this year. For a while it looked as though there wasn't
going to be any tennis at Guilford this spring until the team put for
ward the necessary initiative and labor. Practically all the work on
the courts was contributed by members of the squad.
As it was the courts were barely finished in time for the
Appalachian matches. It looked for a while as though the only
tennis Appalachian would play on the campus would be with
hoes and rakes.
A particularly gratifying sight in tennis this year is the surpris
ingly good showing being made by Luke Copeland. The boy surely
is burning them up; keep up the good work, Luke.
In the two baseball games against Duke and Carolina Guil
ford played good ball all the time with the exception of one
inning in each game. The runs scored in these single innings
were enough to bring about the two defeats. In the Carolina
game, for instance, that Guilford lost 9-7, Carolina scored five
runs in one inning.
Tt would be a good idea if we could throw out the worst inning of
any game like some profs discard the worst of a series of test papers.
That boy, Lyman, at Stanford certainly set a record that
should stand for a long while when he hurled the shot 54 feet,
one inch. This is said to be a world's record as well as an Amer
ican record. It should be.
Here is a note of interest that some of the golfing enthusiasts may
not be familiar with. It is said that the pits in the golf ball are put
there to give lift to the ball when it is hit with a back spin. A dif
ference of 1-1,000 of an inch in the depth of the pits may mean as
much as fourteen yards variation in its carrying distance or flight.
Bill Capella is leading the batting average with .341. We're
beginning to believe all those stories Bill told about himself dur
ing the winter months.
Still on the line of baseball—if anyone would really like to see some
extra good ball playing drop around to the field between 9 and 10 on
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and watch that physical ed class
in action. Two boys in particular, J. Sharpe and Seabolt, are slugging
the ball so hard that Coach declares lie'll soon have to put new, extra
reenforced covers on the balls.
The former editor of this sheet, "Brick" Gouger, after much
wandering around the countryside and almost making a trip to
Europe, has finally settled down, for a while at least, in his home
town of Blairstown, N. J. Keeping him company are Phil Bou
ton and "Pop" Green, who recently returned from the west coast.

Hampden-Sydney Team Exhib
ited Fine Form in Win

DIDDLE HAD TEN POINTS
The Quakers opened their track sea
son with a bad defeat at the hands of
Ilampdeu-Sydney. Only two of last
year's letter men competed in the meet,
liiddle was Guilford's high scorer with
ten points. He won the broad-jump,
placed second in the high jump, took
third in the high hurdles, and third
in the pole vault. Guilford's only
other first was by Trivette in the half
mile. Trivette also took second place
in the mile. In the two mile Warren
I lowers did well lo take second place.
S. Tonge placed third in both the dis
cus and the shot. In the javelin Hod
gin was nosed out of second place. In
the high jump W. liaughni tied for
third place. The score was 1011 to 2-tJ.
The Tigers had already had two
meets and were much more experienced
than (he Quakers. Many of the Guil
ford tracks! ers had never competed
before the Ilampden-Sydney meet. The
w hole team is expected to show a great
deal of Improvement in the meet with
Wake Forest here today.
For two straight years now Guil
ford lias defeated Wake Forest in track
competition; that the Quakers will
make it three in a row is very doubt
ful right now.

SHOWING A STEADY
INCREASE IN FORM
Team Has Made a Fairly Good
Showing' in Recent
Matches.
COPELAND LOOKS GOOD
Catawba is Here Today—Throe Other
Teams Are Scheduled to Play
Here Next Week.
The tennis team has been showing a
steady improvement since the Wake
Forest matches. The season started
with a very uncertain outlook for the
coming year. With only one veteran
player to start with and being handi
capped in practice both by the cold
weather and the lack of courts the team
has been making more progress than
might be expected. The first matches
with Wake Forest were, of course, hope
less from the start. The squad had had
no practice at all and in the matter of
playing positions, most of the playing
positions had to be guessed at. Natur
ally it was no surprise when the Wake
Forest boys took every match.
On the second engagement of the
year, that with Appalachian Teachers,
the Quaker team showed considerably
better form even though they did lose,
5-2. A highlight in this contest was
the work of Luke Copeland, who took
the only singles victory of the day for
Guilford. His victory was by the con
vincing score of 6-2, 6-2. In the
doubles match, Fred Newman and Bill
Weaver showed plenty of fight in com
ing from behind to win by a score of
4-6, 6-4, 6-1.
Ifc was impossible to get Thursday's
match results in the sheet this week;
it was the general opinion that Guil
ford stood very nearly an even chance
with Appalachian.
The team will get plenty of action
and practice in the next week. Ca
tawba is here today; High Point on
Tuesday; on Thursday, Lenoir-Rhyne
comes here, and on Saturday, Elon.
