THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME IV.
JUNIORS INDOOR
TRACK CHAMPIONS
SENIORS A CLOSE SECOND IN
HOTLY CONTESTED EVENT.
The 01ym,pic games which were
scheduled this year for Berlin, but
not held on account of the war, were
pulled off in the Guilford College
gymnasium last Saturday night.
Never in the history of athletics since
the days when Phidipipides first ran
the Marathon has there ever gathered
a greater assemblage of famous jaw
pushers, rag chewers, quick dressers,
hoppers, jumpers, throwers and pull
ers. The classes gathered in the
corners assigned them and quickly or
ganized for the struggle. Class spir
it ran high and the many yells given
indicated that a fight to the finish
would take place. Even the lowly
"preps" began for the first time to
feel the thrills of class patriotism.
The Seniors who won the cup last
year had nearly all their men on the
casuality list due to football, but
trusting to the invincible Morris-Mo
ton combination resolved to fight
gamely to the end.
The first event was the human
wheel barrow race. It didn't require
a great knowledge of machinery to
run this kind oif a wheel barrow.
Many chauffeurs however came to
grief thro' troulble with the steering
gear. The Senior combination, Hin
shaw and Jackson, reached the tape
first.
The girls' throwing contest made
Zachary, Guilford's famous pitcher,
turn red with envy. Had Zach been
a girl he couldn't have done better.
The bull's eye was as safe from being
hit as the Kaiser would be at Camp
Jackson. Here the Seniors triumph
ed again. Morris and Moton record
ing the highest score.
If the Sophomores or Seniors
should go to war and lose a few legs
it will still be all right. Three legs
are all that any two of them need.
Marlette, '2O and Moore, '2O, won
the three-legged race with Hinshaw
'lB and Jackson 'lB, just behind.
The girls' three-legged race was
extremely close, but by unanimous
vote of the three judges, was award
ed to the Seniors, Moton and Morris.
The Freshmen McVeys were a close
second. In the shoe race the shoes
of the contestants were piled up in
the middle of the floor and the first
man to get his shoes on properly and
get back to the starting line won.
Macon was the first to perform the
"feet," his number 12's being easily
seen from afar. Fort, last year's
champion, is still looking for his
shoes.
When it comes to all kinds of liip
work the Sophomores are hard to
beat. Mcßane and White won the
two lip race. The kind of candy
which was tied in the middle for
once had its name justified.
When it comes to picking up ap
ples Addie Morris has Eve "skinned
a mile." This race was the most ex
citing of the evening, Elma McVey

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 24, 1917.
Guilford Overwhelms Lenoir
Mountaineers Snowed Under
By Capt. Newlin's Quakers
Before a small but enthusiastic
crowd on Iloibbs' field, Guilford easily
swamped Lenoir in the first home
game of the season by the score of 88
to 0. Despite the one-sided score the
game proved interesting to the spec
tators on account of the varied char
acter of the Quaker offensive. Most
effective as ground gainers were the
long end runs by Jones and Bryant,
the latter twice going over 70 yards
for touchdown. The prettiest pieces
of footlball were the line plunging of
Newlin and the tackling of Reddick.
Zachary and. Fort presented a stone
wall front on defense. Walser was
called back several times to work on
the offense and deserves credit for
his punting and for several long end
runs. For the visitors, Longaker and
Fritz ,played the best football. The
Mountaineers were game to the core,
but were completely overwhelmed by
superior technique of the Quakers.
The game started with a rush.
Guilford received the ball and in four
rushes carried it over for a touch
down. Walser kicked the goal. Le
noir elected to kick again, and again
the Crimson and Grey marched down
the field—this time putting the ball
over the line in five plays. Again
Walser added the extra point. Le
roir then chose to receive the kick
off and by a pretty forward pass
Longaker to Ritchie made first down
and brought the ball to midfield. On
succeeding plays the Lenoir players
were thrown behind the line and were
forced to kick. Twice later in the
game Lenoir threatened to make ef
fective use of the forward pass, but
at no time had an opportunity to
score. Guilford advanced the ball
almost at will during the remainder
of the first h?lf which ended with ti.e
score at 60-0.
In the third quarter Coach Doak
sent in the scrubs, only Walser being
left in the line-up to do the kicking
and to forestall any possible accident.
During this quarter the playing was
very even, the two teams vieing with
each other in errors of omission and
commission. The visitors were at no
time dangerous however and toward
the end of the period Walser punted
to the one-yard line. Lenoir's kick
from behind her goal line was block
ed >and Walser fell on the ball.
In the fourth period the regulars
went back and easily piled up 19
points more.
Despite the easy nature of the con
test the college feels well satisfied
with the work of the team. They are
playing football like veterans and
barring accidents should give good
account of themselves in the remain
ing games of the schedule.
The line up follows:
Guilford Lenoir
Barnard L. E H. Fritz
Henley L. T Patterson
Babb L. G Rhyne
Fort C Reitzel
Zachary R. G Brown

PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY.
Philomatheans are indebted to the
new members entirely for one of the
best programs of the season. Their
work of last Friday evening was of
a high order of excellence, and they
put themselves into the meeting with
an enthusiasm which makes the fu
ture of the society look bright in
deed.
Anne Shamiburger and Lulu Rai
ford argued the question of vivisec
tion in a most interesting iway; show
ing careful preparation of the sub
ject under discussion.
Francis Bulla 'brot smiles to our
faces by her reading about the man
who was afraid to trust railroad time,
and Tom Stewart's account of first
impressions of Guilford called to the
minds of old Philomatheans reminis
cences of a similar nature.
Naomi Tomlinson's piano solo
proved that the society has acquired
another memlber who may be depend
ed upon to furnish valuable aid in a
musical program.
YOUNG MEN ABLY ADDRESSED.
Professor Rogers led the Y. M. C.
A. Thursday evening. The (boys turn
ed out well to hear him. Every seat
was occupied, and many had to stand
up. The leader sipoke on "Sexual
Hygiene," approaching the sulbject
from a biological point of view. He
treated the topic frankly and clearly
and illustrated his talk with a wide
range of facts which indicated a com
prehensive knowledge of the subject.
It quickens one's pulse and makes
his ears tingle to hear the walls of
old Founders dining room ring with
college yells. Let's try having more
of them.
VASSER VS. WELLESLEY
New Girls Administer Defeat to Old
Girls.
On Friday evening of last week
the gymnasium was the scene of the
first girls' basketball game of the sea
son. The opposing teaims were
Wellesley (new girls) and Vassar
(old girls) and right much in evi
dence was the ancient rivalry
tween the two colleges. The game
was called promptly at 8:80 and was
at no time lacking in interest. The
first ten minutes of play was prob
ably more exciting than any other
period, for the first rapid passes re
sulted in a field goal for Vassar, fol
lowed quickly by a foul goal, both
placed by Totten Moton. The Welles
ley center then started the play with
a rush, and forced the ball to her
goal, where Josephine McVey cleverly
made a field goal, and only a moment
later made good a free throw. In
the remaining few minutes of the
first half there was hard playing and
consistent passing on the part of both
teams, which resulted in a field goal
for each side, and when the time
whistle announced the end of the
first half the score stood 5 to 5.
The second half opened with a fine
display of energy which was evident
throughout this period. The center
probalbly witnessed the hardest play
ing, but the guards were on the job
and prevented the forwards from
making any change in the scene, and
when the game ended the score (board
registered a tie.
Neither team was contented with
this state of affairs, and aifter mutual
agreement it was announced that
there would be an additional eight
minutes of play. After a short rest,
the teams came on the floor again.
There was a considerable amount of.
"pep" in evidence especially in the
Wellesley team and with a rush, the
ball was sent to the Wellesley goal,
where, in spite of close guarding,
Josephine McVey and Mary Lou Rai
ford made (free goals, and when a
foul was called on a Vasser girl the
former made it count. When the
final whistle blew the score stood 11
to 5.
While the game was not entirely
lacking in the finer points, it was
characterized more (by hard playing
than by skill. Totten Moton scored
for her team and the Vassar guards
played consistent ball. Josephine Mc-
Vey played a good game as forward
and was a'bly assisted at the Welles
ley goal by Mary Lou Raiiford. The
line-up follows:
Vassar—Addle Morris, rjf.; Totten
Moton, 1.f.; Eula Hookett, c.; Donna
Mcßane, r. g.; Bernice Pike, 1. g.
Wellesley—Mry Lou Raiford, r.f.;
Josephine McVey, 1.f.; El'ma McVey,
c.; Lula Raiford, r.g.; Martha Caudle,
r.g.
