GUILFORD LOSES
TO FRESHMEN
Carolina Freshmen Defeat the Crip
pled Quakers; Forward Passes
Prove Disastrous.
The Guilford Football Club went
down in defeat last Saturday at the
hands of the strong Freshman eleven
at Chapel Hill, the score being 44 to
0. The first year men, who recently
held the Carolina Varsity to a 6 to 6
tie were too strong for the crippled
Quakers, who were without the serv
ices of Captain Jones, Beeson and
Reddick, men who suffered injuries
in the Woft'ord game. Several of the
other members of the team were
not in first class condition and were
lacking in fighting spirit. The Fresh
man line was impregnable and the
backfield fast; hence the Quakers
found offensive playing very difficult.
On the defensive Guilford played by
spurts, first holding the strong Car
olina, line in their efforts to break
through the Quaker defense and
then suddenly ascending with the re
sult that a touchdown was made pos
sible.
The scoring, however, came for the
most part as a result of intercepted
forward passes. On four distinct oc
casions Carolina men intercepted the
misdirected pigskin and a touchdown
came immediately. In every instance
the forward pass was attempted on
or near the 30-yard line thus en
abling the Freshmen to score easy
touchdowns. The Guilford backs
were clearly off color in this depart
ment of the game which has been
used with unusual success in previ
ous games.
The first quarter began with the
Freshmen kicking to Guilford. On
the second attempt Armstrong made
eleven yards and first down for the
Quakers; the first year men then
steadied and Copeland was compelled
to punt to Herty. The Freshmen
then slowly worked the ball up the
field and after making 15 yards on a
recovered fumble, Herty carried the
ball over for Carolina. Blount kick
ed goal. The second score came as
a result of a forward pass, Jonas to
Blount of Carolina who advanced the
ball to the 10-yard line where the
Guilford line held for three downs
but Bristol went over on the fourth
effort and Blount kicked goal.
In the second quarter Guilford
played a better game and compelled
Carolina to punt repeatedly and also
held them for downs, but toward the
latter part of the half the forward
pass was used by Carolina, Bristol to
Spaugh, which netted 30 yards and
Blount again kicked goal.
The third quartei- was featured by
the loose work of the Quakers. Dur
ing this quarter three intercepted
passes by Carolina made possible as
many touchdowns for the Freshmen
and Blount kicked goal on each at
tempt. A blocked punt resulted in a

PHILOMATHEAN SQUAWS
ENTERTAIN CLAY
BRAVES
Council Fires Burn Brightly at Very
Successful Reception.
One of the most pleasant enter
tainments that the Henry Clay Soci
ety ever enjoyed, was tendered it by
the Philomathean Society on Friday
evening from 7 to 10:30 o'clock. The
decoration and program was purely
Indian in style and uniquie in char
acter.
Memorial Hall was elaborately dec
orated with cedar, with here and
there a wigwam, while from over
head dim mellow light descended as
from moon and stars thru the lofty
treetops of a primeval forest. The
squaws met the warriors at the en
trance and presented to each in a
miniature, portable six-sided wigwam
on which was arranged the program,
the menu, and the names of a tribal
council.
The program in every detail was
an excellent one. Its intrinsic value,
its noble character, and the admira
ble way in which it was rendered
gave every Clay a desire to sit at the
feet of his sisters, and be taught the
way of sublimity.
Miss Deborah Brown recalled in a
very impressive way many traditions
and memories of the Red man. An
instrumental solo, McDowell's "From
an Indian Lodge" by Miss Mildred
Clark gave the audience a sample of
the fantastic music of the American
Indian. Miss Ruth Coltrane gave a
reading, "The Wooing of Minneha
ha," in a most appealing manner.
The next number was a quartet, "An
Indian Lullaby," by Misses Hubbard,
Morris, Totten and Beulah Moton.
Then the curtain was drawn aside;
and a scene the most thrilling, the
most pathetic was presented. "The
Death of Minnehaha" was presented
in pantomine by Miss Armstrong as
Hiawatha, Miss McGehee as Minne
haha, Miss Clodfelter as Nakomis,
and Misses Moore and Hamilton as
"Famine" and "Fever." The last
number on the program was a solo,
Cadman's "From the Land of the
Sky-Blue Water," pleasingly render
ed by Miss Gertrude Hobbs. Then
Miss Oma Gray as critic rendered her
report, which was executed in a me
ter which imitated and rivaled Long
fellow's Hiawatha.
After Miss Shamburger, as presi
dent, had spoken a few well chosen
words welcoming the visitors the So
ciety adjourned.
Then the members of each tribe:
Ojibways, Dakotahs, Cherokees, Ot
tawas, Algonquins and Mohicans as
sembled around their chiefs before
departing on the short trail to an
other hunting ground. There in the
valleys and glens of Founders, where
soft autumn leaves carpeted the floor
each tribe found a suitable place to
pitch camp. While the leader in

SCIENCE CLUB HEARS ABOUT
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF VISION.
The psychological aspect of vision
was discussed in Science Club by
Prof. Brinton. He explained the
Herring theory of color vision, and
color blindness. Illusions of geo
metrical figures and illusions of col
or were illustrated, the former by
means of figures drawn on the board,
the latter by complementary colors
projected on the screen ( negative aft
er images being produced by retinal
fatigue .
It was decided to subscribe to the
magazine "Science." Clarence Ma
con was elected to membership.
Seniors Enjoy Outing
Last Wednesday afternoon a queer
procession started from Founders.
Was it band of gypsies, tramps or
just boys and girls planning to have
a good time?
There were girls with frying-pans
and spoons and boys with kettles and
suspicious looking buckets and sacks.
Leaving Founders they turned to
wards the west where the sun was
beginning to tint the sky with those
far-away colors.
Some of the most exuberant Sen
iors led the way over an accustomed
road and on to a beaten path thru the
woods until finally a brook chatter
ing away over rocks and a large tree
scattering a lavish profusion of au
tumn leaves compelled the first-com
ers to stop.
There between the tree and an old
rail fence, almost concealed by a
thicket full of spring time promises
of wild roses, a camp-fire was soon
built.
Meanwhile the tardy ones, with
excuses enough to write a new re
port, finally joined the others around
the blazing camp-fire.
Soon the frying pan was sizzing and
the kettle from a comfortable bed of
hot coals was sending forth the fra-

GUILFORDIANS
ELECT WILSON
Xiinit Wins Over Pitts in Exciting
Contest—Returns Reported by
"Guilfordian."
In tlie annals of Guilford College
social after social is recorded. There
have been stunt socials, leap year
socials, Hallowe'en socials, cobweb
socials and just ordinary socials, but
never has there been one so unique,
spirited and original as the political
social in Memorial Hall Saturday
evening, November 4. It was char
acterized by enthusiasm, informality
and special attractions.
Thruout the entire evening, party
spirit ran high. A suffrage ovation
began in New Garden Hall several
minutes before the last bell. This
gradually divided along party lines,
and in the deafening bub-bub, the
names of Hughes and Wilson were
mightily confused. On the campus,
loyal groups of boys were giving lus- 1
ty yells for the candidates of their
respective parties. These noises were
supplemented by party songs as en
thusiastic groups of girls approached
Memorial Hall a-tingle with excite
ment and political zeal.
Upon reaching Memorial all was
chatter and confusion. But soon
were heard above the din of many
voices, energetic orders for party
divisions. The Democrats mustered,
one and all. on the south side of the
room, the Republicans marshalled
their forces^to the north.
Again there was a call to attention
and with Ed. B. Carroll, of the Re
publican Club, presiding, and Itimous
T. Valentine, of the Democratic Club,
as secretary, the political convention
came to order.
Democratic and Republican candi
dates for the various college officers
were then placed in nomination.
Guilford's great oratorical traditions
were more than maintained by the se
ries of nominating speeches in which
in humorous vein the many virtues
of the candidates were elaborately
extolled. The following ticket was
nominated:
• Democratic Ticket.
For Sheriff—-Charles McKoin.
For President of Guilford College
—Aipheus Ebenezer Munn.
For Dean of Guilford College—
