Another welcome Grads, glad to
see you; we hope you get a big kick
out of being Imck here on another
Homecoming Day. The place is still
about 'the same and you know your
way so make yourself at home. Come
on around, walk on our new walks,
meander through our still almost
finished gym rooms and glance at
the cement tennis court's ami Vets
ville. Looks good to see a few new
things, doesn't It?
No doubt there will be revenge in
the air at the Softball game, in fact
it probably won't be safe for you to
go out there. In the least it will be
humiliating for you "old men."
Football? That's tonight at eight,
not Hobbs all-purpose field but at
the Greensboro Stadium. Don't de
pend on Purdom or Newlin to get
you in, break down and buy a ticket.
And don't forget a program, you'll
want to kViow who those boys are
out there. Yeh that's our bunch, the
big guyts in the red jersies. You can
feel pretty safe with your wager 011
them, they haven't been stopped yet.
Great srtuff isn't it,, and you'd like
to see it continue wouldn't you??
People won't look blank when you
say you wenft to Guilford, the place
is being heard of! Listen, they have
a good deal here now so you eager
people can do something for the ole
Alma Mater called the Athletic
Foundation. You're more than wel
come to kick in, in fact there should
be no strain.
Right, some things are really look
ing up. At times, though infrequent,
the chow even begins to get a little
better at Pounders. Now if we could
only get a little more of it too—
but that doesn't interest you.
Well s'long, Grads, hope we can
show you a good time and a lot more
new stuff next year—but in a way
that's up to you.

The unofficial scouting word of an
ex-Guilford athlete, one Hank Aus
band, naive high scorer of the foot ]
ball atltempts of '4l and '42 byway of j
a miraculous snag and 5 yard dash
for six points against 19km, is that
down in Salisbury they are begining j
to call Coach Chubby Kirkland,
"Skinny" Kirkland as it seems that j
he's losing so much weight worrying
about the Guilford-Catawba game.
It is also reported that the local
churches in those parts are devoting
v/eekly prayer meetings to victory
for the Indians.
After last Saturday nights troun
cing of the slow starting Apps from
Boone (by Catawba) it looks like
the big battle for the mythical
championship of the North State j
Conference will be betwix our fight
ing Quakers and the Indian war
riors. That is, of course only after
we have brushed aside the bum*
from High Point. •

Not to be outdone by the glory of
the current Crimson and Grey grid
iron successes, basketball rears its
jealous head in the form of early
enthusiastic practices in anticipn
tion of an eqialy glorious record of
wins. It is highly possible from the
material on hand, and that expected
oult after football season, for Coach
Ijpntz to develop such a combina
tion.
In connection with the rapidly ap
proaching hardwood season there
have been many individual and some
times collective directives as to the
dire need of an electric scoreboard
and time clock for the gym. But
evidently nothing much has ever
been done about it. Now, however.
Transportation Offered
Students For Grid Games
Buses for student transportation
to the High Point-Guillford and
CaDawba-Guilford games have been
secured.
Announcements concerning the
time of departure and the cost for
a round-trip will be posted on the
campus' various bulletin boards.
Students who are interested in
traveling to the games are urged to
witch for the announcements.

■ Players'
Personalities
t
JOE B. WINNER
Sparking the team from tailback
with his capable running and kick
ing, rangy Joe Winner can be count
ed as a main asset on the gridiron.
With former experience as a member
of the Greensboro Hi State Cham
pions in 1938 and '4O. Joe was elect
ed as All Shite Back for his ability
in the latter year. He also played for
a year at Carolina before going into
j the service, where he was in the
Medical Administration Corps fir
almost four years, two of which were
I spent overseas.
JOHN HANZKL
' A member of the Villanova Col
lege team in 1040, and an All Amer
! ican and All Southeastern Service
learn selected in 1044. John Hanzel
gives Guilford one of the best line
| men in the conference. He received
! the above honors playing with the
Jacksonville NAS while in the Mar
I ines in 1044. A Physical Education
i major, John expects to stay in the
! athletic field and become a coach.
WILLIAM T. FEENEY
Bill is another who hails from
Greensboro, having had experience
with the Whirlies from 1938 to 40
where he made All-State with the
State Championship team of the
latter year. He also played for two
years at Catawba College before en
tering the Marine Corps. The middle
size gull of the Quaker line at 223 lbs.
itill adds speed and know-how with
his weight and the combination
usually spells trouble for the opposi
tion.
ART FAIRCLOTH
Displacing a 1!)7 lbs. 011 a six foot
frame, blonde Art is one of our,
triple threat backs of the powerful
first string. His football ability comes
lrom many years on the gridiron as

tailback at N. C. State before the
iwar, and with the 12th Air Force
team in Italy, where he played in
the Spaghetti Bowl in 1944.

THE GUILFORDIAN
Softball Battle Will
Rage At 3:15; County
Sheriffs To Referee
A battle royal will be fought this
afternoon at 3:15 on Hobbs Field
between the has-been stars of years
gone by and the revenge-seeking stu
dents oif tlhe present generations. In
charge of the operation will be
Coach "Killer" Lent 7, who will lend
himself to the old-timers in an at
tempt to boost their potentialities.
Me lias announced that in order to
insure, a peaceful contest, if that is
possible, the services of two well
known Guilfordians have been ac
guired to referee. They are Sheriff
Shore of Forsyth County and Sheriff
Taylor of Stokes County. It is hoped
that they will be able to quell the
flow of l>iool in the heat of battle.
The hopes of the Alumni for a
repeat performance olf last years
win will lie in the arm of famous
Jesse Finch. Around him will be
built a potent aggregation from
such past stalwarts as Kill Grlce,
Buck Hines, Knobby Blair, Ml Snag
Hartley, Paul Jamison and others.
Carrying the hopes of the present
student body from the pitching
mound will probably lie Eddie
Iliraybashi who absorbed the defeat
of last years game by a score of
6-3. With him will be an able team
composed of steller players such as
Jack Erwin, Carl Erdckson, Jack
Arlzonico, Abe Short, Sy Faircloth.
and Karl Dunkle.
The game (called so with optim
ism) will commence at 3:15. Anyone
interested in seeing a nerve-racking
and body-wrecking contest of the
higher professional caliber should
lx> on hand and to cheer their
favorite team.
The Quaker's Friend
A human and sympathetic story
is to be found in a recent letter re
ceived by William (Doe) Newton,
Guilford's athletic director and head
coach.
"I am a young fellow who is very
interested in football, but the best
1 can do is listen to the games over
the radio and read about them in
the newspapers, as I am ill with
tuberculosis" —so reads the opening
paragraph of a letter from a young
American boy interested in the
greatest of all sports.
Coach Newton's youthful admirer,
whose illness is currently arrested,
lias been writing to Newton for the
past several years, and in each let
ter his request is that Newton send
him an autographed football pro
gram as a souvenir.
The bed-ridden football enthu
siast,, Walter llcdha, added in his
letter that reports of the tine Guil
ford team had reached him in Tren
ton, X. J. lie went on to say that
he wished Coach Newton lots of
luck in the games to come and that
lie hopes Newton can take them
with ease.
The interest shown by Iledlia in
the Guilford football team did not
pass unnoticed among the players.
It was their desire to have the
young man given copies of every
program, pictures and material
about the team. A large photograph
of the Quaker squad is presently
being autographed by players and
will soon be on its way to their ad
mirer ... to a boy whose interest
and love of a sport is curtailed by
a dread disease.

Electric Basketball Scoreboard To Be
Given By Monogram and Vets Club
From this basketball season on
Guilford students and players will
be spared the neck breaking and eye
squinting ordeal they have had to go
thru in the past at games in the
Guilford gym. There is going to be
a good all illuminated, electric score
board installed, we hoj>e, before the
season starts.
This great addition to the gym
will be the gift of the Monogram
and Veterans Clubs who have voted
in recent meetings to raise the
money necessary so the scoreboard
can lie purchased as soon as possible.
The scoreboard as described is
about live 'feet wide and three feet
high. It will sfhow the score of two
teams in bright white eight inch
numerals and the minutes of play to
go in a red eight inch numeral. In
addition the scoreboard shows the
preiod of play and, by a round red
light, the official timeouts.
This will l>e a grwjt asset to every
body envolved and will uinlonbt
ably eliminate a lot of dispute. If
is controlled from the officials desk
by use of the Control Board which
is operated by one man who will 1
probably be the official time keeper. 
The campaign for the raising o
the money for this project will Iv.
carried on by the Monogram and
