Ap WL 26, 1957 By JAKE JACOBSON BASEBALL NINE ENJOYING IMPBOVED BECOBD— / At the time of this writing, Sunday, April 21st, the baseball squad has exceeded their 1956 victory output. In '56 the team managed only three wins. This spring the team has already won four and the prospects seem to point toward many more victories. The play of first baseman Bill Boddy has been outstanding in re peatedly saving Quaker infielders from wild throws. Joe Pegram is also enjoying a successful campaign; he has proven to be the steadiest in- I fielder. Elsewhere, "Snooky" Benedetto has come along to be the ace of the mound staff. At the present time he has won three without a loss. If he continues along at this present rate, he should prove to be a strong candidate for all-conference honors. Billy West, Jack Purgason, and Bob Allred are leading the attack I w ith .300 averages. WASHBUBN, ATLAS CONTINUE TO BOLL— Jordan Washburn and Bob Atlas continue to roll right along, much in the fashion of "Old Man Biver." At the time of this writing the conference doubles champs have compiled an amazing victory string of 26 straight. It looks as though the boys will continue to go on unde feated and eventually cop the doubles crown for the second straight year. Meanwhile, the tennis team is enjoying another fine year with only one loss. East Carolina was the only team to stop the Quakers and they seem to be the team to beat. Prospects point to a second place finish in conference play. BOSIEB SHINES IN WIN OVEB WAKE FBOSH— On Thursday, April 25th, the Guilford track team came from be hind to upend the Wake Forest freshmen. It was an extremely inter esting meet with great enthusiasm being shown by a large gathering of fans. Bob Bosier turned in the outstanding performance of the day. Bunning anchor man in the mile relay, he made up a 15-yard deficit and passed the Wake runner to bring victory to Guilford. It was a hard-fought meet and one that was enjoyed both by par ticipants and spectators. All members of the squad are deserving of much praise. GOLF TEAM HEADED FOB CHAMPIONSHIP??— Is the golf team headed for the North State championship? Only time will tell. The team has lost only one match—to East Carolina. This was a serious upset for the team and appears to have thrown a tem porary monkey wrench into the championship fight. It is the feeling of the team that Appalachian is the team to beat. SPIBIT AND SPBING SPOBTS LOOKING UP Both seem to be the order of the day this year. The golf and tennis teams are both having very successful seasons, and the baseball team has shown vast improvement having already topped last year's record. Spirit among the fans is also running better than average. It just goes to prove the old adage that fans love a winner. JUST WONDEBING— The latest talk among the men students is—How come such a short intramural Softball season? Yours truly is wondering about the same thing. It seems that someone was in a hurry to get the season over with. Good weather prevailing, a double elimination could have been run off in two weeks and made for a much more interesting campaign. I hope the same mistake will not be made again. ATHLETE OF THE WEEK— This week the award goes to the outstanding performer on the base ball team. For his fine wins over Williams, Lenoir Bhyne, and Atlantic Christian, the award goes to Charles "Snooky" Benedetto. His victories have kept the team in the conference race.

A. M. Continues Activities The Guilford College Society for Advancement of Management has recently heard several interesting talks. Mr. B. P. Bunker from Klopman Mills and Assistant Na tional Director for S. A. M. in Greensboro spoke on cost control. Mr. Bunker explained to the S. A. M. members how cost con trol enables a manufacturer to find out if he is operating efficient ly. An important use also is that management is able to make future forecasts as to its needs with the aid. of cost control. Mr. Bobert Haines of Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company gave a survey of different types of life insurance. Since the public is usually not well informed on the many types of life insurance, the S. A. M. members received valu able information which should be of help when they decide to pur chase a life insurance policy. George Heinzerling represented Guilford College at the Southeast ern Conference of the S. A. M. in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, during the spring holidays. The S. A. M. heard a talk by Mr. Fred Birdsong, plant manager of Blue Bell Company in Greensboro, on job opportunities for college graduates. In his talk Mr. Birdsong told the S. A. M. what industry is looking for in college graduates. He also pointed out the different types of companies and the opportunities they offer. Several S. A. M. members spent an enjoyable afternoon touring the Blue Bell plant in Greensboro and meeting with some of their officials. The S. A. M. viewed two inter esting movies on the coal industry. These movies helped to clear up several incorrect notions that the average person has of the coal in dustry. These movies pointed out the tremendous amount of mechan ization employed by the coal in.- dustry. A talk is scheduled by Mr. J. N. Berry of Vick Chemical Company on industrial purchasing which should prove to be interesting. Ten tative plans are being drawn up for a social event the last of May to climax the activities of the Guilford College S. A. M. for the year. Intramural Track Meet to Be Held Saturday The annual intramural league track meet will be held Saturday afternoon at 1:30 on Hobbs Field. All told, there will be twelve track and field events ranging from run ning the 100-yard dash to throwing the javelin. Unit and individual points will be awarded and a medal will be given each winner. INTRAMURALS By WOODY FEMLEY With the end of vacation and the coming of Spring fever, boys turned their interests to softball, badminton, and tennis in the intra mural program. A little before all this, Archdale's basketball team traveled to High Point and in a convincing fashion carried off the North State Conference intramural trophy in basketball. But now, with the magic of Spring in their veins, Guilford men turned to the out-of-doors. Some took up bad minton indoors in the gym, but in general the outdoor sports of tennis and softball held the spotlight. Yet, in .turning over a new leaf, you couldn't quite forget the old one. The different section managers got together several clays after va cation and named an All-Campus team in basketball. These are the ten elite that made the two big teams: FIRST TEAM Bill Abernathy . . . co-captain ... a tall, agile center and the leading point maker in the league, Bill led the Stadium to a good season and a place in the finals with his consistent scoring and fine rebounding. Boger Boan . . . co-captain . . . Along with Bill, Boger was a unanimous selection. His panther like rebounding and point-making sparked the Archdale Oilers.
