l|t QUAKES
By CARRUTHERS and TAYLOR
George Fen-el, who played baseball
here at Guilford In the good old days
when Guilford was at times conference
champion, worked out with the Quaker
nine for two weeks before spring vaca
tion. Ferrel now has his own club in
organized ball, and ho brought some
of his players along to get in shape,
also. Roger Smith, a member of last
tail's freshman class, was in the group.

I'aul "Cherry Pie" Chambers, class
of '3B, gave up his coaching job at
Asheboro high for a place in Uncle
Sam's Navy in March. One of Guil
ford's best athletes of the last few
years, he has produced some fine teams
in his two years' work at Asheboro.
•
It seems that the main reason for
the track team's loss to Catawba was
that there weren't enough entrants for
each event. The two teams tied in the
number of first places that they won,
but Catawba walked away with most
of the second and third places due to
the fact that they usually had about
twice as many entrants in each event

We returned from spring vacation to
discover joyfully, nice white lines on
newly rolled tennis courts and gener
ally fair weather, all of which-invited
us to play tennis. So we did—once, in
Phys. Ed. class! But what we want
to point out is: better practice up, be
cause the spring tennis tournament
(singles and doubles) starts next week,
and a lot of you should sign up to make
it a better tournament than the one
last fall.
O
AVhile we were still pleased over the
tennis court* we were told May day was
hovering in the near future, so we could
all start learning dances with which
to entertain the queen (May queen)
and her court, and other interested
spectators. May day is Saturday, May
I>, at 4 o'clock. If we're lucky it will
be outside; how about saying a little
prayer for sunshine 011 that day?
O
Speaking of dancing, the modern
dance club will meet a few more times,
but the members will not have a sepa
rate dance in May (lay this year. Don't
all rejoice at once —it may cause too
much commotion!
O
Softball practice starts next week, if
you have any extra time, what with
theses, term papers, and sun baths so
prominent these days. Practice will be
on the hockey Held at -t :45 p.m. on Wed
nesdays and Fridays. There will lie a
class tournament, so come on out and
give the ball a sock or two.
O
Archery has nlso come to life again
in the warm spring weather under man
ager Miss Mildred Lenora Itagan (15-
minute liagan to some, since the choir
trip). You can get points toward your
letter and numerals from archery, we
hasten to remind you.
O
Now that the bicycle has come into
its own at Guilford —what with all the

as Guilford. There's still plenty of
time, so come 011 out and help the
team, fellows.
"Lefty" T.iske, of Catawba, really
stole the march on this year's baseball
season by pitching the first no-hitter
of the 1042 season.
The horse-shoe tournament will get
under way next week according to
Coach Smith. There are about 30 boys
signed up to participate in the play
and there should be some stiff compe
tition.
HATS OFF TO—Dr. Milner for help
ing the Monogram club with their plans
for finishing the club room in the gym
. . . Mrs. Hard well for her fine co
operation in furnishing meals to visit
ing teams . . . Mr. Pancoast for the
line job he is doing with the direction
of the conference tennis matches which
will be. played in May . . . The base
ball team for their sportsmanship this
faculty cycling into town as if it were
a mere block or two (were you tired,
Miss Foster?) the W. A. A. cabinet met
to put into effect a new point system
for the cyclists. Just peddle a bike
around for 15 hours and you will end
up with 25 points. Nice, eh, what?
O
The new and old W. A. A. cabinets
met last week for the purpose of bring
ing in the new members and officers,
and bidding farewell to the old ones.
Mary Anna Jessup made her little re
tiring speech and Frances Neece fol
lowed her up with her coming-in speech.
Miss Foster told a little about the theme
of this year's May day, and then re
freshments were served by Tjouly Staf
ford and Martha Ann Abelein. We
won't say how many times they were
served, but they certainly were good.
Good luck to the new cabinets and we
hope you have a swell year.
O
Hiding class comes last but not least
in this column. It meets every Tues
day. and apparently is quite popular
with the Athlettes because there are
12 girls signed up for a date with their
favorite horse 011 these days.
A sales tax is bad at all times and
never would be worse than now, in the
opinion of Dr. Clarence E. Ay res, Uni
versity of Texas professor of economics.

Guilford's trackmen meet their sec
ond foe of the season when they travel
to High I'oint this afternoon. With a
week of good practice under their
belts since their defeat at the hands
of Catawba on the tenth, the team
should he much more successful this
afternoon.
The Quaker tenm really made a fine
showing when they tied Catawba in
the number of first places taken at
seven each.
Graceful Laceile Cockman surprised
everyone when he literally ran away
with the two-mile event. lie finished
a good hundred yards ahead of the
field. Walter Kucker placed first in
tiie 1(K) yard dash and the -20 yard
dash, and DeArmas Smith also had a
good day, for he took blue ribbons in
both the low and high hurdles. Schoell
kopf raced to first place in the 880
yard run and Hank Ausband took
honors in the pole vault event.
Bill Hyatt, Brad Leete, and .T. W.
McGinnis each took a second or third
place. This gave Guilford a score of
47, while Catawba had racked up a
total of 79 points to win the meet. The
Catawba men made their extra points
in the Held events and by winning
most of the second and third places.
High Point comes here on the 27th
to return today's meet. The team
makes one more trip before the con
ference meet on May !•.

Guilford Nine Scores
In Opener With Elon;
Parker Hits Homer
Quakers Turn Pop
Fly Into Triple Play
In Game With Catawba
The Guilford baseball nine opened
their season in a delayed game with
Elon with a ."{-1 loss to the Christians.
The game proved to be a pitchers'
battle all the way. Parker, who hurled
for the Quakers, limited the Elon team
to a minimum of hits and struck out
0 batters. He then went to bat for his
own game with a homer in the seventh
inning, the longest ever seen in the
Elon park.
In the second game of the season
Lenior Ithyne combined plenty of hits
with some few Quaker errors to pile
up a one-sided score, 15-3. Nolan pitch
ed a good game but ho proved to be
slightly wild at times and walked sev
eral men.
The team met Catawba in another
tight pitching duel on Tuesday after
noon. I'arker took pitching honors with
12 strike-outs. But the superior fielding
work done by the Catawba infield and
six strike-outs by Molly Craft held
the Quakers to only two hits and no
runs. The Catawba team combined
seven hits for as many runs and the
game ended 7-0 for Guilford's third
loss of the season.
The highlight of the game was a bril
liant triple play. Parker caught Peel
er's pop fly and threw the ball to Frye
at first who relayed to Lindley at sec
ond. Two Catawba men were caught
off base and the side was retired.
Mackie Frye has proved the most
consistent hitter thus far with a two
bagger each game.
Shakespeare In the Raw;
Gory Details of Rehearsal
(Continued from l'age One)
By that time you are back on the
stage and everything has quieted down.
But now that's bad, because this is the
scene you don't know so well. Of
course, now Dr. Furnas can hear all
your lines. But you finally bluff your
way through—either by walking around
and ending up near the prompter, or
by keeping your book beside you and
referring to it. when no one is looking
—you hope. Then comes the last scene
when Elois—but that's a secret. Come
and see what happens to Elois Mitch
ell! (Plug.)
"Dear me, a quarter to ten," sighs
Dr. Furnas. At that point you never
think we have time to do the last act,
but it seems we always do. When it's
all over with at last, you stumble
homeward over the flagstones.
