The Wake Forest Game
There is nothing in college life
that attracts more attention, creates
a? much enthusiasm, and presents
such fields of activities as athletics.
To the average college student,
athletics holds before him three prin
ciples which are fundamental to any
successful life: obedience, organ
ization and cooperation, i Lacking
any or all of these principles, no ath
letic team can be at its best. The
obedience of any team to its director
is its first and foremost duty. The
plan of organization is merely a
channel through which individual ef
forts may be drawn together and di
rected to a common end.
Last Friday our football team
gained, we were about to say, the
biggest victory for Guilford that she
has had for some time in the athletic
world. But as there was no score by
either Wake Forest or Guilford, we
hesitate to call it a victory.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
game was scoreless, there was a pre
vailing opinion throughout the stud
ent body and among ex-Guilfordians
that our team had been successful.
What was such an opinion based up
on? This opinion was formed by the
wav in which our fellows appied the
principles given above to their ef
forts.
The Guilfordian wishes to take
this opportunity to say to the team
that we appreciate the way each play
er conducted himself on the field and
the clean fight you put up.

Shall We Have More Home Games?
For the first time in the history of
both institutions, the Guilford grid
warriors met Wake Forest on their
home ground last Friday. Also this
game was the first football game that
Guilford has played on her home
ground in three years. The manager
should be commended for arranging
for this game to be played at home.
Thei'e is nothing that calls into
play that sense of loyalty toward his
college on the part of a former col
lege student more than intercolle
giate athlectic contests.
What alumnus is not thrilled when
he hears that an athletic contest was
won by his Alma Mater/ What old
student is not also delighted? What
stirs up his enthusiasm more than to
witness such a contest on the home
frrou nd?
Due to the fact that the method
suggested above is about the most
, COMMENT
for reaching in producing and main
taining an enthusiastic body of sup
porters we suggest that more stress
be laid on the importance of play
ing games at home.
What can be more valuable to a
college than the whole-hearted sup
port of its alumni and old students?
No sacrifice is too great and no rock
should be left unturned in the effort
to gain it.

As'sn Meets at Raleigh
(Continued from page 1)
a talk on the "Relationship of the
Faculty to the College Publication"
and showed plainly that the faculty
of yesterday who looked down upon
the college publications and tried to
suppress them have been replaced by
teachers who offer their services
wholeheartedly in order to help the
progression of the publications.
L. J. Brody and R. S. Pickens, both
of the "Tar Heel," gave very instruc
tive talks 011 the management of col
lege papers.
Saturday morning the regular bus
iness session was in order and re
ports from each publication were
given and general business of the as
sociation was discussed. It was de
cided to offer a prize for the best
short story published in the North
Carolina college publications this
coming winter. A collection of the
best submitted stories are also to be
made into an anthology of college
stories. It was also decided that the
next convention would be held at
Queens College, Charlotte, N. C.
Friday evening the association was
banqueted by the "Twig" and the
"Acorn," Meredith publications, and
toasts were enthusiastically drunk
to the future of the North Carolina
Collegiate Press Association.
Colleges represented were: Mere
dith College; N. C. C. W.; Salem;
Greensboro College; Queen's; Wake
Forest; U. of N. C.; Trinity; Dav
idson; Elon; Lenoir; State College
and Guilford College.

THE GrUILFORDIAN
THE MAGAZINE SHELF
by John Webb Cannon
What is not decent in literature?
How far can an author go into rea
lism without becoming sordid? Does
censorship have any place in modern j
literature? Are the individuals who
are making an effort to establish a
system of selected literature capable!
of good judgment along this line? |
Is decent literature antagonistic to
the beautiful and real and if so which {
is preferable?
The preceding list of questions is j
a collection, the answers to which
will undoubtedly shape the future
of American thought and to a large J
degree of national characteristics.
The writer suggests that if any Guil
fordian readers are to any extent
interested in what they shall read in
the future of American poetry and;
prose, that the North American Re
view has in the November edition an j
article which is pertinent to these j
questions. John Erskine, the author, j
will at least cast healthy doubts in |
your minds as to the certain right of
any faction. And after all skepti
cism is the first requisite of sound
judgment.
The writer's job, however, was not
to write a thesis or an opinion 011 the j
ethics of the suppression of litera
ture, but to call your attention to the
different articles that appear in the J
November issue of the North Amer- j
ican Review. Let us proceed.
Have you ever thought that peo
pie think differently, that more than j
one religion is needed to satisfy the j
needs of man? The idea of individ-1
ual differences that food for one
may be poison for another pervades
the whole atmosphere of the Review.
Witness for example two articles that \
stand side by side in this forum "The
World Mission of Christian Science." |
and an article defending Confuc- J
ianism. Read them —they are not
written by fools or fanatics.
The critic must confess his ina
bility to place "The Man from God's
Country," by Margaret Prescott Mon
* 1 . .1
tague. As far as his detective abil
ity goes it may be one of several
things. It may be an exposition in i
narrative of the effect that war has
011 mens' souls, or it may be a spec
imen of the literature of the new
realistic age, a chapter from the ac- j
tual emotions of an imaginary man; !
but whatever it be, it is enjoyable.
It seems to the writer that to cat
alogue further the contents of the Re
view would not only be unnecessary
but would detract from the thought
that he wishes to leave with you,
namely, this forum contains food for
infinite thought. He closes with the |
hope that in turning these pages a
gradual realization will steal over j
the mind of the Guilfordian reader
of the fact that there are other races
besides the Anglo Saxon, other relig-1
ions besides that of the Protestant, or
even the Christian, and that these di
visions too may have as great a plat e
as the ego in the plan of the Omni
potent.
