ATHELETICS
Guilford Defeats Elon in Scrub Game.

of the lirst half Guilford was in
the lead by two points, the score
being 10 to 8.
During the second half Elon
came within one point of a tie sev

Basket Ball League.
In order to produce a strong,
fast team each year in basket ball
a college must have some means of
training new men who are not able
to make the 'varsity squad (In 1 first
year. There are several ways in
which the various colleges accom
plish this, but one of the most ef
fective methods is by a basket ball
league. That is, let the boys in
terested in this game divide them
selves into teams according to the
floor on which they room, the dor
mitories, the section of the dormi
tory, or any other way that is ac
ceptable to all. Then arrange a
schedule so that the game may
come at stated intervals, and keep
the percentage of the games won
and lost, so that they may appear
each week in the columns of THE
GUILFORDIAN. Thus, a friendly riv
alry would be created that would
heighten the enthusiasm of the
majority of the students in this
phase of athletics, and would be a
means by which material for the
'varsity team would be constantly
developing.
Doak Now Coaching.
The athletic cabinet consider
themselves exceedingly fortunate
in again securing the services of
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N
Chas. G. Doak as head coach in
basket ball. In the past as a stu
dent, "Chick" has helped win
many a hard fought battle for
Guilford. And later, returning as
coach, he has produced some of the
fastest base ball and basket ball
teams that have ever represented
any North Carolina college. His
ability to choose men who develop
info first team players has been of
invaluable aid in building up the
teams. For this reason we look
forward with (lie steadfast belief
that Guilford, with Doak at the
head, will be represented by a
strong team in basket ball.
Have You Paid?
Athletics at Guilford are con
trolled and financed by the stu
dent body, and it is the duty of
each man, who considers himself
a worthy student, to support the
Athletic Association. A small fee
ot one dollar is charged per term
and every man in college should
show enough pride in his college
teams to be willing to contribute
this freely.
The Association cannot buy ath
letic supplies, cannot have teams
of which we shall be proud, cannot
keep tilings moving unless you pay
your athletic fee. Do not let the
treasurer have to visit you but
once! The men who are running
the Association get nothing for
their work—not even your consid
eration very often. Let us look at
(his proposition squarely in the
face, and say that Guilford will
not be lacking in anything that
goes to make strong teams this
year, that is, if my support will
prevent it!
Furthermore you are not sup
posed to use the Gym, the soccer
field, the base ball Held or goods,
or the tennis courts until you have
paid this fee. There is a Vigilance
Committee appointed to look after
this matter, so if you have not
paid your dues, do not be sur
prised if you are asked off the field
at any time. This is only fair.
Do you expect to use the goods
which other students have bought
and be a parasite? Then resolve
to support the Athletic Associa
tion and make Guilford keep up
her usual place in athletics this
year.
Guilford, like every other col
lege Athletic Association, awards
to the 'varsity men of the various
teams the privilege of wearing the
college letter These men are due
at least some distinction for their
successful efforts, but do we at
Guilford accord the letter proper
respect? If anybody can wear a
"G," as has been the case in the
C., NOVEMBER 12, 1914.
THE ENTRANCE GATEWAY
Work has begun on the new en
trance gateway —the gift to the
college of the class of 1901). Al
ready the front of the cam pus is
taking on a new appearance. Mur
ing the .summer, prepai at ions for
this work steadily advanced. The
road leading from the old post
office northwest, ]>ast the graded
school building, has been changed
so that it now begins at the lower
corner of the brick store and
comes into the old road direct!\
west of the new meeting house. My
this change the south boundary of
the college grounds gets the full
benefit of a square front, uncut
with such numerous roads and by
roads us formerly.
In this plan of improvement the
gateway will lie- located one linn
dred feet from the Greensboro
road. My rounding off the corners
of the two adjacent fields the en
trance to the gateway will be tri
angular in shape. This work has
been largely completed so that by
constructing the gate the front of
the grounds will be ready for the
walks and grass.
The gateway itself will consist
of two brick columns eleven feet
in height, one on each side of the
road, which is to retain its present
width. The columns will rest on
granite foundations and'will be
capped with granite. Two walks
are to be constructed, one on each
side of the road ten feet from the
road running parallel with it to
the point where a road turns in
the direction of Archdale Hall.
Bach of the walks is to have two
smaller columns—one on each side
—built in similar manner to the
large ones. Between each large
column and the small column on
the inside of each walk there will
he a connecting wall of brick.
Placed on this wall, to the left as
you enter, a bronze plate will bear
the dates 1837-1914. On the con
needing wall to the right a similar
plate will have the words, (Mass of
1909.
In this work the class is follow
ing the plan of Mr. Warren H.
Manning, of Boston. The contrac
tor is Mr. Frank Watson, whom
many Guilfordians will remember
as a fellow-student. It is expected
that the work will be completed
by the first of December.
past, is there any need to work for
a letter? If you have not won a
"G," you are not supposed to wear
one. Take it off and do not sail
under false impressions!
Y. W. C. A. NOTES
The regular mid-week prayer
meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was
eondueted last Thursday night by
Dr. (■. O. Meredith. He based his
talk on the temptations of Christ
in the Wilderness. All the seats
were taken and Dr. Meredith's
talk was listened to with a great
deal of interest.
Thus far the average attendance
of the study body in the dormi
tories at the Y. M. A. meetings
has been between So and 00 per
cent, and it is to be hoped that
this high average can be maintain
ed during the remainder of the
year.
Won't you help to keep it up?
