"DEVELOPMENT"
Y.M.C. A. SUBJECT
Ira G. Hinshaw led the prayer
meeting service at Y. M. C. A. last
Thursday evening. He chose as his
subject the word, "Development."
The speaker spoke of the necessity
of having a well developed physique.
He then proceeded to tell how this
might be brought about. He cited
the life of a good athlete as an ex
ample. He said that the human
body is like a machine and if it is
not properly cared for it soon be
comes unfit to perform its functions.
He then discussed his subject from
the standpoint of mental develop
ment. He said that there are many
ways of developing the mind, chief
among which are observation, inves
tigation and imitation. The student
who is only an imitator is a failure.
Observation and personal investiga
tion are more productive in the pro
cesses of mental development.
The student who has one or both
of the foregoing characteristics does
not possess a fully developed person
ality. There must be the element of
soul cultivation. This is accomplish
ed in much the same way. As a ma
son builds a large structure, as the
workman completes the building by
laying one sto-ne at a time, so must
the individual frame his spiritual
character by doing the little things
as he meets them.
COX HALL TAKES FIRST GAME.
Cox Wins in Soccer 3 to o—Archdale
Strung in Second Period.
The first game of the series be
tween Archdale and Cox Hall for the
campus championship in soccer foot
ball was played Thursday afternoon
on Hobbs' field. The field at first
glance appeared to be more suitable
for a swimming contest than for
football, but after Lineberry and Bill
Hollowell had rolled around in the
deepest lakes for several revolu
tions Professor Woosley decided that
it was in good shape for playing.
Miss Ben How was afterwards heard
to remark, however, that she cer
tainly would like to hire those boys
to operate the wringer in the laun
dry as they knew how to absorb wa
ter.
The two teams were pretty evenly
matched as to size and weight, but
the Cox Hall team had slightly the
advantage of the Archdale boys in
passing and shooting as the score of
•> to 0 in favor of Cox Hall indicates.
The first half started with Arch
dale kicking off to Cox. After about
a ten minute scrimmage back and
forth from one end of t'he field to the
other the Cox Hall boys rushed the
ball down to their end of the field
where Fort's lucky toe shot the pig
skin under the posts for the first
goal. Two other goals were made in
the first half by Smith and Williard
in about the same manner. There
was no scoring on either side during

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C, FEBRUARY 7, 1917.
Quakers Win
and Lose
QUAKERS BREAK
LOSING STREAK
After Losing Three Games by Close
Scores Guilford Defeats Elon in
Cleanly Fought Contest.
In a good game of basketball
marked by clean playing, Guilford
defeated Elon by the score of 28 to
19. Due to the exceedingly cold
weather the first half was slow, and
void of thrilling plays. In the out
set the Quakers took a lead, but by
sluggish playing of the home team,
close guarding by Elon when the ball
was under the Crimson and Gray's
goal, and the precise shooting of foul
goals by Sorrells, Elon cut this lead
down, and finally forged one point
ahead, the score at the close of the
first half reading 11 to 12.
After an interval of ten minutes
the Crimson and Gray quintet seem
ed to be imbued with new energy
and spirit, and within a few minutes
of play pushed ahead and continued
to pile up more points and increase
their lead thruout the remaining
time of play. From this time on
ward the Crimson and Gray was nev
er in doubt of victory. The fast
work of Semans, both in getting the
ball and perfect basketing it, was
the outstanding feature of the con
tent. of the 2 8 points he secured 10
for his team. During the first half
Elon secured only three field goals,
and was able to obtain two in the
second period, but the wonderful
tossing of foul goals by Sorrells in
creased her score, he perfecting 9
out of 12 chances. Both teams ex
hibited good defensive qualities as
shown by the score.
Line-up:
Guilford. Elon.

GUILFORD LOSES HEART
BREAKING STRUGGLE
Presbyterians Win in Hottest Con
test Ever Seen on the Local
Flour.
In one of the most hotly contested
and spirited sanies ot' basketball in
the annals of the game at Guilford,
the Crimson and Gray lost to David
son on Tuesday night by the close
score of 27 to 28. Guilford as a unit
outplayed the visitors, but due to the
stellar work of Childs, the husky
Presbyterian forward, and the pass
ing of Hedgweld, in the last half, the
Quakers went down in defeat by a
margin of one point.
Guilford opened the game with
fast and snappy playing. Massey ob
tained the ball near Davidson's goal,
after it had been tiipped off, dribbled
down the floor around his opponents,
and made a splendid shot, thus reg
istering the first point of the game.
This play was followed in close order
by two tallies, which were easily
made by Captain Smith. While the
ball was in a "mix up" Walser hur
ried up the floor, and no sooner than
it was extricated, was it passed to
him, and in an easy manner he made
the trial good. Massey added two
more field goal's by evading his op
ponents, and dribbling in proximity
to the goal, then "coining" the pig
skin.
During this time, Davidson, how
ever, was not idle, ut bon the alert,
piling up points. She showed good
form in passing and securing goals.
Childs lead his team-mates with
three field goals. He exhibited a
keen eye and some little skill in poc
keting the "pill," registering two
difficult shots from the corner and
middle of the floor. Walker added
two field goals for his team, while
King was able to contribute one.
The first half ended with the score
standing 12 to 16 to favor of Guil
ford. Davidson, however, in the
second period, came back strong, and
in spirited form, and with a changed
line up, Hedgweld having been sub
stituted for Childs and Childs for
Deal, tied the score in a very few
minutes, the tall Presbyterian center
securing a long shot from the middle
of the floor and Childs making an
easy one safe. The score stood tied
for a short while, and Davidson forg
ed ahead, but only for a few mo
ments to be tied again by Guilford.
However, with the systematic yelling
of the first part of the game having
ceased, and being replaced by indi
vidual encouragement the members
of the Crimson and Gray's quintet,
and with clock-like playing of the
Davidson five, with Childs' deadly
shooting, the Presbyterians waged
forward into a narrow lead, which
they were aible to retain by energetic
playing. When the referee's whistle
announced the close of the game,
Guilford was only one point behind

REV. C. M. SHORT
SPOKE SUNDAY
Delivers Two Excellent Sermons
the College on Sunday.
Rev. Charles M. Short, 'O3. was a
most pleasant visitor here during the
week-end, delivering two very timely
and interesting sermons to the stu
dents on Sunday. At the morning
meeting, Mr. Short emphasized the
neighborliness of the Good Samari
tan. He described religion as a life
and not merely a philosophy. The
real significance of religion is to be
realized in the everyday relations of
man to man. The Good Samaritan
found the great opportunity of his
life in the pursuance of his usual du
ties and not in a spectacular occa
sion. It was the simple opportunity
to give personal aid to a stranger in
need which immortalized the hither
to unknown character. In conclu
sion Mr. Short added that the great
est and most characteristic feature
of the story is to be seen in the 1111-
eal'culating, spontaneous love which
prompted the compassionate act of
the neighbor.
At the evening meeting Mr. Short
discussed the value of an ideal in
life. He outlined the true end of life
as the perfectly developed Chris't
like character. The abject of life
was not the Hedonistic ideal of
pleasure but the perfected life.
Roth discourses were excellently
received and thoroughly enjoyed.
His reminiscences of life here at
Guilford and his recitations of inci
dents which occurred' during his
course were very interesting. Guil
ford is always glad to have Mr. Short
make us his annual visit and to
many this seemed to be the most en
joyable and beneficial of all visits.
Certainly was it pleasant to have his
sincere presentation of some of the
very vital .phases of religion and
moral conduct.
THE ERECTROX THEORY AT
SCIENCE CU R.
On Wednesday, January 31, the
Science Club held its regular meet
ing. In the absence of Prof. Ralder
ston, Jesse Garner, the vice-presi
dent, presided. The program con
sisted of a talk by Prof. Brinton on
electro-magnetic waves. He first
took up the method of producing
the waves used in wireless telegra
phy, illustrating their properties and
explaining inductance and capacity
in condenser circuits. In discussing
the electric oscillations which pro
duce visible light he gave an account
of the electron theory and the evi
dence by which it is supported. The
manner in which this theory explains
some of the chemical and physical
properties of matter was shown, as
well as the nature of radiant energy
and the probable internal structure
of an atom. He also illustrated how
the theory of the electrical constitu
tion of matter and the idea of elec
tric mass has led to many curious
conclusions which contradict the
Newtonian mechanics.
