GUILFORD DEFEATS LENOIR
Thursday afternoon Guilford
met and defeated the strong tennis
team from Lenoir College in the
doubles. The first game started
with quick, snappy plays, and it
seemed that both teams were even
ly matched, but Guilford forged
steadily ahead so that after the
first set there was no doubt but
that the Guilford representatives
would carry off the honors.
Wood and Brown started the
doubles for Guilford and took the
first set 7-5. When Guilford had
taken the second set (1-4, Wood
gave way to Price. The next set
was lost 2-6, but after Price had
"warmed up" the next set was eas
ily annexed (>:J, thus giving us the
necessary three out of five sets for
victory.
Lenoir was represented by a
stronger team than the score
would indicate. Both Con red and
Hale played a good, stiff game,
and fought to the last against de
feat. Especially did Conred have
a good serve, and would have giv
en his opponents a close race in
the singles which were scheduled
for Friday afternoon. Unfortun
ately the weather did not permit
these, so Guilford was given the
decision of the tournament.
Manager Price has announced
that we will meet the team from
Davidson College soon, so the stu
dents may look forward to a tourn
anient that Avill afford some of the
fastest tennis to he seen this sea
son.
Cox Hall Loses to Archdale.
The first publico base ball game
of the year was staged Wednesday
afternoon when picked teams rep
resenting the two boys' dormi
tories were chosen to determine
their pre-eminence. Cox Ilall
scored in the first: inning, but their
lead was overcome when Archdale
came to the bat and made three.
From that the Archdale boys gain
ed steadily one or two runs nearly
every inning until the eighth when
Cox Hall started a rally and three
runs were scored before the side
was Anally retired.
Zachary pitched a good game
for the Archdale boys, and, with
the exception of the first inning
when he forced a run on bases on
balls, and in the eighth when three
runs were scored, he held Cox Hall
under his control. Strayhorn made
a good showing for Cox Hall, and
had he been given the support that
Zachary received the score would
have been much closer. A good
many new men were seen in ac-

Cheering.
Now is the time for the new fel
lows to lie learning (lie college
yells. The basket ball season will
soon be here, and the support giv
en the team in cheering will liclp
(hem light harder for victory. And
the way to obtain this is for all
the boys to learn the yells, and
then we may have a mass meeting
of the boys, elect a leader, and
have organized rooting. This form
is much more effective, and also
tends to suppress the personal re
marks which are exceedingly dis
tasteful to the players and also the
spectators. Then let us organize,
and support our teams.

NEW SOCIETY HALL
Since Hie burning of King II;ilI
in 1 DOS, all loyal Henry Clays and
Websteriaus have been anxiously
awaiting the (lay when we should
again have halls suitable to (he
needs of these organizations. We
have been promised adequate quar
ters when the front of New King
Hall should be completed. Six
years have passed since the de
struction of our halls and the pros
pect for this location seems yet
very remote.
A great many of the alumni and
old students firmly believe thai
the work done by Hie societies is
far too important a phase of life
;it (iuilford to be neglected or
hampered in (lie least degree. They
are ready and eager to do what
ever they can to increase the ef
ficiency and vigor of the work.
There are few 1 believe who will
question the fact that the present
location (in class rooms) is inade
quate and unsatisfactory.
What therefore can be done to
replace the "("lays" and "Webs"
amid the surroundings they desire
and deserve?
For some weeks there lias been
a movement on foot to secure (lie
second floor of Y. M. C. A. Hall as
permanent homes for the societies.
It: is a part of this plan to devote
(he Y. M. C. A. building to the Y.
M. C. A.. the societies and head
quarters for the Athletic Director
—thus centering all Ihese activi
ties in one convenient and accessi
ble place.
An architect has examined the
building and says that (lie plan is
feasible in every particular; also
that two halls can be made equal
in size to the Y. M. C. A. room.
The seating capacity of (his room
is seventy-five; thus it will be seen
that the halls would be fully suf
ficient as to size.
This proposition meets Hie ap
proval of both societies, which
have endorsed a petition to the
Board of Trustees asking that
they remodel the stairway and
construct the necessary partitions
and then allow each society to ar
range and equip one of the rooms
as it may see lit.
The success of this undertaking
will depend in large measure upon
the whole-hearted support of old
society men. We urge therefore
a liberal expression of opinion up
on this important matter. Write
to the GUILFORDIAN and tell whui
you think of the proposition, as
the Board of Trustees will be like-
Y. W. C. A. NOTES
Perhaps nearly all of the new
students have joined the V. M. and
Y. W. Christian Associations and
feel that they have made a wise
step. Hut do they know how great
a factor it is in our college life?
I dare say many thought it was
an obligation which ceased when
they paid the fee.
Some of us think when we go
to the Thursday evening prayer
meeting that we have done all that
is necessary. To be sure this is
one of the most helpful parts of
the Association work, but it is by
no means all. Everywhere we turn
there is some good resulting from
(bis great work. Here at CJuil
ford, Field Secretaries of the Y.
M. and Y. W. C. A.'s, Student Vol
unteer Secretaries and other
strong men and women visit us
from time to time and help to
make our vision of life broader.
Each Association has a presi
dent and cabinet officers who re
ceive useful training in the work.
Then if there are any who are real
ly willing to do something they
may help on the committees by
which the work is systemized and
promoted.
Through the efforts of the Hible
Study committee we have Sunday
morning chapel. Here, short, im
pressive talks are made by the stu
dents and occasionally by some
member of the Faculty. Often we
have special music. Following
Ibis is an hour in some well-chosen
Hible study. This will be replaced
by Mission Study in the second
semester.
The Associations promote the
social life of the college to a very
great extent through the commit
tee for this purpose.
To take these two organizations
out of our college would be almost
as serious a-; doing away with the
church in the community, lie
cause it affords the only opportun
ity to students for the develop
ment of Christian character. Do
we fully realize this?
ly to accede to this arrangement if
they can be assured that it will be
permanently satisfactory.
