QUAKERS OPEN L
Hirabayashi I
Of Quaker Cag
Eddie Hirabayashi, stellar guard, I
has been named by members of the
Guilford cage squad to succeed Kd
Ota as captain for the forthcoming
season.
A native of Spokane, Wash., Hira
bayashi played withcnt substitution
last season, and was named to a tirst
string berth on tiie mythical nll-Nortli
State five, as polled by the GuiU'oit
lIIAX.
Only a sophomore, Hirabayashi's
newly won honor is nevertheless well
awarded, his sterling play on (iuil
fonl's hardwood having won for htm
a large following among basketball
fans throughout this section.
No more than five-eight with his
shoes on, he made tip for lack of
height by alertness and speed under |
Coach Bob Jainieson a year ago, and |
in addition to being the team's real
floor general, was its top scorer.
Iligli spot of his career came when
he lead the Guilfordians to their first
victory over High Point in a decade,
besides sparking twin wins over Ap
palachian.

Guilford opened its conference bas
ketball season Inst night, meeting High
Point's Panthers in a charity benefit
tussle at Madison, N. I\, t knock the
lid off what may well he the most
successful season enjoyed by a local
club in many a moon. Playing their
first season under Coach Robert "Pea
nut" I>oll k, former star athlete at
X. C. State, the Quakers dropped their
initial encounter to the officers team
from OKI), bill played well against the
older and more experienced service
club, whose line-up featured former
college and professional cngers.
While early deadline of the Gun.-
FORDIAN makes it impossible to carry
results of the Guilford-lligh l'oint
game, it was a virtual certainty early I
this week that flic locals would open I
against High l'oint with three letter- j
men, among them quick Eddie I lira- j
ba.vashi, all-ci nference guard a season [
ago, pills two freshmen who have de- j
veloped into capable first line men. j
Of these two newcomers, Binford j
Farlowe of Sophia, who holds down j
the center position, sin ws exceptional j
promise, and lacks only experience [
anil practice. Towering well over the I
six-foot mark, Farlowe will give tin'
Quakers great advantage in controll
ing the hick-board, while his dead-eye
under the basket adds scoring punch |
that cannot be overestimated.
Frank Jaramillo, the other freshman |
of the aforementioned duo, also lacks j
experience, but is exceptionally fast, j
and is a stalwart on defense.
Weak on reserves last season, the
Quakers also have added strength in
this all-important department for the
current season. Charlie Robertson, of
White Plains, has played steady ball
to date and will lie heavily counted
upon to carry a large part of reserve
duties at forward down the home
stretch of flu' conference race. In
I luck East, another frosli. Coach I)i ak
has a deadly set-shot, and another
capable forward reserve.

Captain Kddie Hirabayashi. who will
lead the Quakers through this season.
:
mural tough football contest, will sub
for Hirahayashi and his running mate
at guard, Hank Aikawa. Veteran of
two years play at Westtown, Brown
gives much needed experience to the
club. Bill Harmon, the baseball star
from Mount Airy, and George "Yank"
Abrams round out the squad.
Home Stretch
Down the home stretch of the North
State season, which falls in February
after the end of the first semester, the
Quakers promise tn be even stronger
than now, with two letternien from
last season, I lamp Ilowerton and Norm
(ioodridge slated to come off the in
eligible list. Too, the championship
will probably be derided by the con
ference ti urnament at High Point,
not held last winter, and these two
men will lie ready to go for the an
nual event.
Ilowerton may possibly he declared
eligible to play for the remainder of
tlie first semester, his petitiou to the
faculty having been taken up early
this week. For full details of this in
cident, see elsewhere on the Gi II.I'OH-
I>lA.\ sports page.
Schedule
Members of the basketball team may
repcrt back to school two days early,
on January 1 rather than the third,
the day classes start after Christmas
vacation. Reason for this early re
turn is due to - the fact that, beginning
with I'd on nn January ti, Guilford
plays six games in eleven days, ending
with games on successive nights against
Lynchburg here.

ATHLETTES
By IRIS BEVILLE
Hockey season ended with a hang on
December I when our team went down
bowing to W. C„ 2-0. It was a liard
fought giiine though, kids, and you
did a super job of sticking in there
and fighting.
Thanks are in order for .Miss Beck
witli, Patty Shoemaker and the serv
ing committee for the supper served
in the lint after the game. We be
lieve flint the hockey players agree
with us when we say that the best
part of an inter-colleginte gnme is the
friendliness mul fellowship afterwards.
"Old Man Winter" litis blown in an
other sport, basketball. The girls
have renlly been hitting those baskets
in classes and better still, practice
began Monday afternoon at 5:1"). Come
out for practice and we will have a
knock-out team!
Incidentally, the freshmen hnve flic
upperclussmen a bit worried . . . you
should see Hint "dead eye" thnt they
have! The tournament should be a
rare one this year. Ilnrriet Wnrnke
is the basketball manager and we're
all lmclung her for n lively season.
lints oft' to the boy's bnsketbnll team
for the game played agninst the of
ficers of ORD Inst Tliursdny night.
Credit should nlso be given to Coach
Doak for the excellent coaching job
that lie's doing.

Basketball
(iaiilford opened its conference stand
Inst night against the Purple Panther
cagers from High Point, in a charity
benefit tussle at Madison, in the first
conference encounter for either club
this season.
High Point, with only one returning
lettennan, had dropped five out of six
games, including losses to the strong
Cherry Point Marines and the Univer
sity of North Carolina White Phan
toms, prior to last night's tilt.
The Quakers, in their only formal
game, were defeated by the OKI) olli
cers five, but had chalked up easy
wins over Lamb's Auto and Ward's
Ksso of Greensboro recreational leagues
in practice games.
Ilowerton
Guilford entered last night's title at
its peak strength of the season, fol
lowing the announcement early this
week that Ilamp Ilowerton, regular
center on last season's club, would be
eligible to play.
Ilowerton missed the Quaker's opener
with the Officers, because poor summer
school grades bad put him on the in
eligible list. A petition to the fac
ulty, however, plus the untiring ef
forts of l>r. Algie N'ewlin, faculty
athletic adviser, turned the trick.
Besides Howerton, Coach Peanut
Uoak will have three other lettermen
to throw at Ifigli Point. Little Eddie
llirabayashi, who captains the locals
this season, and Hank Aikawa team
up at guards, while John Hawortli,
towering over six feet, is at forward.
High Point's team is considerably
weakened from a year ago, witli only
one lettennan, Jack Foster back. Lost
to Coach Virgil Vow is liis all-con
ference trio of last season, six-eight
George Xistrand, guard Hob Porter,
and high scoring forward John Taylor.
Yow will probably start four Frosh
along with Foster, among them Mal
colm Sullivan, all-conference school
boy at High Point in '44. Speculation
ran high in the Quaker camp as to
whether or not the Panthers would
pltiy their girl star, pretty Nancy Isen
hower, of New London, N. C., the only
girl in the state playing college ball.
Probable starters:
High Point Pos. Guilford
Walker F Ha worth
Sheek F Jaramlllo
Hix c Farlowe
Foster G llirabayashi
Sullivan G Aikawa
