WEBSTERIAN NOTES.
Perhaps the most interesting
meeting of the year was held last
Friday night when the live ques
tion of nomination by the direct
primary system was hotly con
tested.
With C. R. Hinshaw as leader
on the affirmative, supported by
such men as Julian, R. Smith and
Uyrd; with I). Hodgin as leader
on the negative, aided substantial
ly by I. Hinshaw, D. Coltraneand
Sutton, the debate was highly en
tertaining and instructive until
the end.
With the exception of the lead
ers all the debaters were new men.
But they fought like old men even
through the rebuttal speeches. I.
Hinshaw and Coltrane deserve
special mention. Critic Futrell
spoke very highly of the progress
of the speakers.
With such debates as this Soci
ety work takes on a new spirit
and the fellows are already saying
"Didn't we have a good debate
Friday night?"
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. G, DECEMBER 16, 1914.
Guilford Loses to Greensboro Y. M.
C. A. In Fast Game
(Juilford opened her basket ball
season Saturday evening with the
Greensboro Y. M. C. A. team in a
fast game. Guilford started the
scoring in the first minute of play
when Groome got the tip off nrd
then shot the goal on receiving
the pass from the forward. From
this the score was very close dur
ing the whole of the first half.
Several times the score was tied,
then one or the other side would
forge ahead, until the very last
minute of the first half when the
score stood !> and !>. It was then
thai the timekeeper, who did not
have a whistle, announced that
time was up, but the referee did
not hear until after Greensboro
had shot a field goal. At the end
of the first half the score stood
9 to 11.
After the lirst few minutes
Guilford seemed to play a defen
sive game, but was outweighed by
the heavy V. M. C. A. team. The
Greensboro team also showed bet
ter passing ability, while the Guil
ford boys were fast, and made the
majority of their points when
they were free from their men.
When Greensboro came back in
the second half they carried the
play to their end of the floor, but
were unable to score during the
first few minutes. Then they be
gan gaining a few points, but thj
local boys were in the game to
stay, and fought to the last, bn:
the final score was IS to 24 against
them.
Guilford is not at all downcast
concerning the prospects for an
excellent team, for lliis was the
first appearance of four of the fiw
players in the 'varsity lineup, and
from the class shown they will
soon he playing winning ball.
Groome and Wood shot the great
er number of goals for Guilford.
Jones made two field goals. Wood
two, and Groome three. Kelleu
berger was by far the fastest man
on the Greensboro aggregation,
and played a good forward, but
was held to three field goals. Har
bison and Beecher also played a
good game.
Our next game is with Trinity
on our floor, on Wednesday, the
10th, and with our team steadily
improving, we expect a good
game, and see no reason why
Guilford should not play a much
better game than she did last Sat
urday evening.
The line-up was as follows:
Guilford. Greensb. Y. M. C. A.
.Jones R. F...Kellenberger
Wood L. F Harbison
Groome C Lewis
Semans R. G LaGrand
Fntrell L. G Beecher
Smith substituted for Wood.
Blair substituted for LaGrand.
Field goals: Jones (2), Wood
(2), (iroome (3), Kellenberger
(M), Harbison (2), Lewis (1),
Needier (2), Blair (1). Foul
goals: Wood (.'{), Smith (1), Kel
lenberger (5), Harbison (1). Ref
eree, I{. S. Doak, of Hlon. Umpire
Stockton. Timekeeper, Shore. 211-
minute halves.
KEEPING UP THE "PEP."
.Mass meetings of the boys were
held Thursday and Friday even
ings and W. F. Hrinkley began
his efforts to get organized cheer
ing at Guilford. Much enthusi
asm was shown by all. and from
the way they supported the team
in the game Saturday evening, it
will be a success. Some new yells
have been gotten up, and also
some new songs have been added,
but some songs with a little more
spirit in them would instill a bet
ter lighting spirit in the team. All
the boys were together, and they
are expected to give their support
in this line and not to give up
until the referee's whistle an
nounces that the game is over.
Anybody can yell when the team
is winning, and it is not then
that the team needs your help.
Tt is in a case like Saturday night
when we were only a few points
behind, that you want to keep up
the "pep," and encourage the
team. Do not lean back against
the wall, and give up as soon as
the opponents gain a point or
two. Fight all the harder for
your team and "pull" for them to
make things come our way. In
other words them know you
have confidence in them, and are
behind them every minute.
In order best to accomplish
this, it seems that the boys should
be given a part of one of the bal-
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Prof. Purdie, principal of the
Guilford Graded School, talked to
the young men at the prayer meet
ing Thursday evening. He took
for his subject, "Excuses," and
based his remarks upon a portion
of the 14th chapter of St. Luke,
lie said that excuses had been
made all through the ages. Even
Adam and Eve tried to excuse
themselves, and if the poor ser
pent had been pressed, doubtless
he would have had some excuse
also. Then he showed the absurd
ity of the excuses of the three men
mentioned in the chapter which
he read. The point that he espe
cially emphasized was that every
time we make excuses, we make
ourselves ridiculous in the sight
of good reasoning.

conies, and there the cheer leader
can collect them and gain better
results. Then it would also keep
the boys from crowding over the
side lines and interrupting the
players, and tend to keep them
out of the disputes that some
times arise concerning rules and
such things. At the least the idea
seems worthy of a trial, and we
should do all that is possible to
encourage more spirit in the
whole student body.
