GUILFORD SECONDS DEFEATS GUILFORD HIGHS, 37-20 An interesting and fast game was played on the local floor Jan. 28, when the Guilford second team met the Guilford Highs. Both teams fought bravely from beginning to end. The Guilford Highs excelled in passing, but they were handicap ped by not being able to find the goal. The outstanding features for the Guilford boys were their defen sive playing and accuracy in shoot ing..

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. 0., FEBRUARY 5, 1919 CLOSE GAME PLAYED WITH DURHAM COLLEGE LOSES IN THE LAST MINUTE OF PLAY BY A SCORE OF 24-22. Seldom has a college audience fol lowed a basket ball game with more intense interest than on last Friday night when the team met the fast Durham Y. M. C. A. quint. Durham has defeated the best college and Y. M. C. A. teams of the State and, tho the score resulted unfavorably fol* Guilford, there is much general sat isfaction with the performance of the team. During the first half Guil ford clearly outplayed their oppo nents and the half ended with a score of 15h10 in (Guilford's favor. During the latter ipart of the game however the visitors succeeded in lo cating the basket. With but a min ute left to play Guilford was two points ahead. Durham made a des perate effort and succeeded in scor ing the winning goal just as the whistle sounded. Frazier's foul shooting was a feature as he missed only one out of seven chances. Rai ford was back in the game after re covering from the flu and his pres ence was a big help to the team. Mangum, Durham's speedy centre, did most of the scoring for the visi tors and the score might have been different had Guilford concentrated more effort in guarding him. | Guilford Durham 1 Frazier .

Tom will make a goo'd lead er as he possesses the confidence of the players and is ttn enthusiastic and hard working player. A men's glee club has been organ ized and Prof. Guevchenian thinks that the masculine warblers will show t'hat they can produce some real harmony. The Cox Hall infirmary has been abandoned and all the flus have flown. All are up and at work ex cept Hugh Moore, who left for his home near Goldsboro to recuperate. Jessie Cox is still on the convales cent list. WILLIARD DISCUSSES ARMY "Y" WORK The Y. M. C. A. was led by Hervie Williard, 'l9. He gave one of the most instructive and helpful talks that has been given this year. His subject was "The Criticism of the 'Y' Work in the Army" and having been in the army he was able to give some first hand information about What the Y has done. He criticised the criticism of the press and others who have been ready to criticise the splendid work done by the Y. M. C. A. secretaries who worked so nobly and heroically for the uplift of our boys at home in the camps and "over there." "Just as Paul ministered so has the 'Y' been on its missionary jour ney." Hence the speaker chose as topic thought the seventh verse of the second chapter of Phillippians. "But Christ made himself of no rep utation, and,took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men." He then took up some of the criticism of the Y. M. C. A. work in the press justifying it by saying that all organizations have been criticised and that the share the "Y" received has tended only to strengthen it. The Evening Ledger criticised the "Y" for charging more for commodities than the Red Cross and the criticism was answered at a sacrifice of $3,000,000 annually because the "Y" had to pay cartage fee and the Red Cross did not. The criticism concerning the in telligence of the "Y" Secretaries was answered by a review of the roster showing that College Presidents, University men, teachers, preachers and business men are in the major ity. The speaker said the religious meetings had been well attended and showed statistics that more attended the religious meetings while at camp than at home. An average of a little less than two hundred was the ordi nary attendance of the meetings in the summer months. Some of the "Y" work on the fir ing line was discussed and many in cidents were cited as examples of real service. In the battle of Cha teau Thierry a striking incident showed the confidence of the fellows in the "Y." "A Greek came to a Y secretary and remarked that he might be killed in a few minutes and requested that his money be sent to his mother. As soon as the secre tary started to write him a receipt he said, 'Me no receipt; you Y. M. C. A.* " To quote further, "Four great leaders of the war whose names are spelled with four letters are: Haig, Foch, Diaz, and Mott and the last named may we choose to call The Field Marshal of .belligerent Chris tendom." The speaker ascribed to (Continued on second page) SOCIAL AT NEW GARDEN At 7:30 Saturday evening all the well and those who had just gotten over the flu, made their way to New Garden for a social hour. Fortun ately t'his term has brot several new boys to the Campus and more girls than formerly were to find con genial partners to aid conversation. In the dining room games were played by the girls and the few boy 6 who found it necessary to entertain them all. Others played rook, some sang and several merely talked. It was not long until 9:30 came and the crowds had to part. This was a pleasant social on account of the fact that it Was the first, time that all the students and faculty were in good health since the holidays. MISS CHILTON LEADS Y. W. C. A. One of the most helpful talks that the Y. W. C. A. has heard this year was given last Thursday evening on the subject of "Loyalty." Miss Chilton began by reading Matt. 7:21-25 and Matt. 5:13-16. She then continued "Every one has some religion, even the small child is taught to love Jesus because he has been told that Jesus cares for little children. "Then comes a time later in every girl's life when she is attracted by the subject of religion, and deter mines to follow the example of the Master. Yet, what factor is it in the life of Christ that makes him so much admired." Miss Chilton bro. out very forcibly the fact that this factor was the loyalty of Christ to His cause "We profess to be followers of Christ. If we determine to follow Christ we take His purpose as ours and we should be as loyal to i: as He Himself was. Jesus was a true patriot. He was not ashamed of His cause even among enemies. Some hated Him because He would not contradict His own sentiments." The point was then brought out that our failures to live the Chris tian life are due to the fact that we fail to recognize that loyalty to Christ means loyalty to His cause. This splendid talk inspired each girl to examine her own life more carefully and to ask herself these questions: Can God rely on me to be loyal? Do I ever deny the cause of Christ, by my words or by my deeds? At a meeting of the Science Club held last Wednesday night the pro gram consisted of an interesting ac count of the uses of whale meat and its bearing on the food problem by Miss Gifford and an excellent de scription of some camouflaged foods by Ho.bert Patterson.
