"Kids" Again Victors.
The Guilford Kids defeated the
Jamestown High School in a fast
and prettily played game of basket
bsill Tuesday sifternoon. In fact,
the Kids showed the fastest form
tlisit they have shown this year,
and played si steady consistent
game. Several beautiful shots
were made, sind the passing wsis
better than usual. Stuart shot
four field goals, while Senians and
Wood followed close seconds with
three each.
The Jamestown boys were si
husky bunch of fellows, and out
weighed the Kids to si considerable
extent. Perhaps this accounts fov
some of the seeming roughness,
but they played si good game
throughout. 1). Groome did ex
ceptionally good work for them in
shooting field gosils and silso fouls.
)| the twenty points made he shot
twelve. The score was 3fi to 20.
The lineup was sis follows:

It Was Some Game!
The faculty finally screwed their
courage lo the sticking place, and
sallied forth Friday evening sifter
I In* Societies had adjourned lo
meet the Senior leu in in basket
hall. At the sound of the whistle
pandemonium broke loose, and the
old gym., that has witnessed nianv
a hard-fought game, begin to sit
up and take notice, for nothing
equal to this had ever happened
within its walls. There was a con
glomeration of base ball, foot ball,
soccer, and basket ball, with an
occasional touch of track work as
some one spurted down the lloor.
and then tried to slide home,
thinking that it was the ninth in
ning and the score was tied. >n
the whole the game was exception
ally free from fouls, there being
only one shot, and this may be
easily accounted for. 11 appeared
at the critical time when the lights
winked for an instant, and it is
thought the referee suspicioned
that they were about to use head
work. Immediately after this the
two teams held a joint meeting,
and by obtaining a two-thirds ma
jority decided to suspend play.
The score-keeper made diligent
inquiry, sifter which he mside the
announcement that the Seniors
were the victors by the score of 21
to 12. The line-up was as follows.

"Kids" Lost.
The Kids lost si game Saturday
evening, the 14th, to the Elon
Scrubs on the Elon floor. In the
first half the Kids played si good
gsinie, but when they csinie back in
the second half, the team work
seemed to be lacking. The Elon
boys simply out played them sind
gained eleven points over the score
made by the Guilford hoys. The
tinal score was 23 to 2!) in favor of
Elon.
The Faculty hsis granted the
(JriLFOßiu.vx the use of a room for
sin office in the cottage formerly
occupied by Professor While. The
Board desires to express its sin
cere appreciation of this action.
We had phinned a Literary Sup
plement to accompany this issue,
but the amount of material sub
mitted was insufficient so neces
sarily we must postpone the sup
plement to si later date.
BREEZY POINT
The play, "Breez\ Point," gi\en
by the V. W. \ A. Sal unlay night,
was in every way successful. hs
ing to the disagreeable weather
the audienc" wsis not sis large sis
wsis expected. The plot of the
play wsts very clever and the char
acters were wisely chosen. The
csiste wsis as follows:
Aunt Debby Dexter, mistress of
Breezy Point Deborah Brown
Elinor Pearl, of unknown parent
age Floy Lassiter
Ashrael Grant, a workhouse waif,
Mary Doan
Mrs. Hardscratch, with business
propensities Oathrine Watkins
Mehitible Doolittle, manufacturer
of catarrh snufl Callie Lewis
Aant. Debby's summer boarders fresh
from boarding school:
Bernice Vernon Georgianna Byrd
Laura Leigh Mary Andrews
Edith Norton Clara Blair
Clarice Tenleigh Ellen White

maid Marguerite Tuthill
Old Clem, the gypsy Oma Gray
Setting.
Act. I. —Scene: A sitting room at
Breezy Point.
Act II. —Scene: A camp in the
woods, six weeks later.
Act 111. —Scene: Same as Act I, foar
weeks later
Floy Lassiter plsiyed the part of
Elinor l'esir! in her ususii grsiccfu'
nisinner, silwsiys showing deeji sif
fection for Aunt Debby, who had
been as true si mother sis possible
to the little orphan. Cathrine
Wsitkins represented Mrs. llsinl
scrsitch. with gresit business abil
ity, wife of the Desicon, gaining ;i
livelihood for the whole family by
selling her fsirm products. Csillii*
Lewis was .Miss Doolitt le, sister of
Mrs. Hardscratch. Slie was si typ
icsil old ni.aid luiviug fallen in love
for the first time with Elder Snif
kins, a widower with seven chil
dren. The part of Aunt Debby was
plsiyed by Deborsih lirown. In si
most charming nisinner she enter
tained four girls from hoarding
school for si few weeks during vsi
cation and by her winsome ways
won their hearts. Two of these
girls were domestically inclined
sind hsid free sway in the kitchen
during Mrs. Dexter's absence:
while the others were slightly in
love and csired only for si good
time. Esicli one acted her psirt in
si most pleasing manner. Oma
Grsiy played si resil gypsy fortune
teller. She always brought on si
weird, ''creepy" feeling when she
entered.
Ashrael Grant, .Miss Dexter's
msiid, with Fsintine "alwsiys sit her
heels" was truly the life of the
play. The audience was alwsiys
ready to applaud when site came
11; on the scene, and lite climax of
(lie play was probably readied
when she 'ne those piercing
shrieks f pain on finding I !s:rl the
French mail! had run away with
her "Hilly." No oilier girls coul.l
have played these parts in a more
pleasing ami attractive manner
than did .Mary i>oan ami Mariner
ile Tuthill.
The musie between acts was rea
dere 1 by Messrs. Stravhorne and
Moore with Miss Dawson as ac
eompauisl. Miss Dawson alwavs
charms her audienee with her ac
companiments and the sin ging was
quito pleasant. The musical niini
hers were as follows :

MRS. LINGLE, OF DAVIDSON COL
LEGE, VISITS GUILFORD.
We were pleased to have Mrs.
Liable, of Davidson College, the
chairman of the Social Service De
partment of North Carolina Social
Federation, to lead (lie regular
morning exercise Wednesday, the
ISIh. She impressed upon the stu
dent mind the fact that this is now
a utilitarian age. and that as some
may have a foreign mission call,
some a home mission call and each
one of us, regardless of our work,
will have a social service call. This
call she would have us realize is
especially coming to the college
students, as from them will come
our social as well as our intellec
tual leaders. And as it is only the
ambitious and thoughtful who ap
preciate and value time, she cited
lo us time tilled with wholesome,
helpful work as our greatest op
portunity in securing true happi
ness. Then after having enumer
ated several of the evils which are
constantly coming to the many,
many children, who are now cm
ployed in work which is not only
harmful to their bodies, hut is in
creasing the large percentage of
the illiterate class, she strongly
appealed to each one to help up
hold the new child labor law.
