In order to become familiar with Guilford, Mrs. Solomon talked with hoth students and faculty, ate in the dining hall, and attended sev eral classes during her stay here.

By visiting various colleges and communities, I am getting this opportunity." She is very interested in trying to find a way to have World Pence. She said that peace cannot be achieved until problems of racial intolerance, and greed among man are removed from society. One way of remov ing these problems is to work to gether in co-operative organiza tions. "I have been listening to many educators speak of the advantages of life in the rural community and I wanted to see them for myself. I have found that the educators are right," said Mrs. Solomon. "I hope that many young people will work in rural areas upon graduation from college," she added. Mrs. Solomon works in a Quaker Hostel in New York City when she is not touring the country.

Those of you who were around last year will remember the terriffic strug gle staged on Hobbs field between these two nines. Down, but not out, the grey and red staged a three run rally in the seventh Inning to tie the game at seven all. Wallace Maultsby laid into the first pitch in the ninth inning for a home run that won the game. In the only other meeting at High Point, the Quakers were leading at the end of three, innings when the game was rained out. The Panthers will prove a tough test for the Guilford nine bringing back several lettermen from last years squad. One of the .big jobs for Quaker hurlers will be pitching the big Gray Cartwright. The first baseman handled the pitching phores for the purple and gold last year, but because of his power at the plate he has been switched to the initial sack. Against the Mc- Crary Eagles last week he chipped in with three hits, one of-which was a booming triple. However, the Guilfordians will have a few surprises of their own in store for the Pointers. Big Wally Maultsby will be back in center field to try and repeat his performance of last year. Little Jase liaiis will also prove to be another thorn in the Panthers' side. Dewey Wolfe, who so ably handled the pitching chores in last year's contest, will once again be ready to take the mound. Jim Coward and Hill Itingier, two superb defensive infietJders, will be prepared to rob the Panthers of many hits. Rudy Craven, Sam Venuto, and Hill Mc- Cormick will round out the batting order with plenty of power. Any one of these three can put one out of the park at any time. The only doubtful starter will be second baseman, Herman Enochs. Suffer ing an injured elbow as a result of being hit by a pitched ball in the Johns Hopkins game last week, the steady little keystone man may be replaced by Pee Wee Ingram, rserve in fielder. The probable starting nine that will take the field for High Point will he Ridge, third base, Taylor, shortstop, Bovener, second base, Oollette, center field, Kimball, catcher, Meekins. left field, Smith, right field, Cartright, first base, and either Swlggett or Draper pitch ing. par- ...... .. - i MISS VICTORII S No "K.
