QUAKERS GO DOWN TO
DEFEAT AT HANDS OF
MAROON AND GOLD
Perry Outstanding Figure
in Game; Purvis Star
for Guilford
In the annual Armistice day foot
ball clash at Cone park between
Elon College and Guilford College
the Christians defeated the Quakers
by a score of 20 to 6. Both teams
put up a strong fight, and until the
last quarter it looked like anybody's
game, each team having scored one
touchdown.
Neither team seriously threatened
to score in the first quarter. Both
lines held, forcing the two teams to
resort to punting, and the play sway
ed back and forth in midfield, ntith
er team aproaching close to the goal
line. Lassiters superiority in punt
ing asserted itself, for Guilford grad
ually worked down the field until
the ball was punted out of bounds.
The quarter ended with Elon in pos
session of the ball in her territory.
Aided by two costly fumbles by
Johnson, Elon put over her first
touchdown early in the second quar
ter. After Perry had kicked the ball
to Guilford's fifteen yard line, John
son carried it for a good gain, but
lost the ball on Guilford's twenty
five yard line. Guilford's line put
up a stubborn resistance and forced
Perry to punt. The ball was out
f bounds and went to Guilford on

Old Girls Defeat New
Girls in Last Game
of Baseball Season
The final game of baseball was
played between the old and new
girls, Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 8,
on the Hobbs athletic field. The hard
fight which was put up on both sides
reflects the good work that has been
going 011 back of New Garden. Al
though the new girls did good work,
they were not able to meet their
more experienced opponents with
equal strength in battle. They were
overpowered with a score of 13 to
2.
Among the old girls who showed
skill, Sarah Hodges probably made
the best record, having made three
runs—the highest number made by
any individual. One of these was a
home run and the other a second base
hit. Marion Ward almost equaled
Hodges in skill, making two runs,
one of which was a third base hit.
lone Lowe deserves much credit also.
In addition to the two runs which
she made, she alone made four "put
outs," two of which were flies caught
in immediate succession.
The two runs of the new girls
were made by Pauline Curtis and
Lalah Cox. Rosa Elliott deserves
mention for having fanned a mem
ber of the old girls' team.

STUDENT FRIENDSHIP ORGANI-
ZATION TELLS OF SITUATION
AMONG RUSSIAN STUDENTS
Stirring Appeal Made for
Suffering Students
Appeal is renewed in colleges all
'round the world this year for aid
to 30,000 suffering European stud
ents through the Student Frinedship
Fund.
Famine conditions in Russia, and
the terrible emergency in Smyrna
and the Near East, make it urgent
that student response exceed the
1921 gift of a half a million dol
lars to students in twelve European
countries. This gift came from stud
ents from forty-nine lands, through
the Fund. The American agencies
sharing in the Fund and the Young
Men's Christian Association and the
Young Women's Christian Associa
tion in colleges. Gifts made this
month will be sent direct to the areas
of need through the Fund headquar
ters in Geneva, Switzerland.
At typical case of student relief
has been found in the following story
of Sonia, a Russian student, told by
a relief worker.
"This is to introduce Sonia Kap
rolova, the student I have spoken to
you about.' So read the card.
"I glanced at once at Sonia's feet
because it was all a matter of shoe
but the two hunks of leather, cozy
with mud, were so unattractive that
I looked away very quickly to her
shy little face. A pretty college
girl, large portifolio under her arm,
rather young to be attending the
Russian Pedagogocal Institute. Pink
cheeked and healthy, I thought hex
capable of walking two miles to
school, but not on a couple of spong
es.
A great doubt came over me when
I fitted the mental image of the foot
inside those sponges into the mental
image of the pair of shoes we had
been saving for Sonia Kapralova.
What twist in the process of evolu
tion has made the American girls
foot long and narrow and the Rus
sian's short and broad. This phys
ical fact which heredity or environ
ment or the shoemaker ought to ex
plain. becomes most inconvenient
when one has a good looking, almost
new pair of narrow shoes to donate
to a pair of poorly-shod broad feet.
"Tijiana was getting the shoes
from the shelf and Sonia was dis
associating one foot from a wet piece
of leather. Moist semi-circles had
crept up her brown stocking from
the sole. The joy in her face at the
sight of the neat, almost,-new shoes
was embarrassing, so much that I
hastened to say, 'I am afraid they
are not going to fit.' It was too
true. Sonia tugged and shoved and
grew much pinker, but the uncom
promising American shoe refused to
give in. Finally she sat down breath
less and murmured something about
wet stockings, but Titiana and I both
warned her that she should not spoil
her feet with narrow shoes. Great
was the disappointment among us.
"Then I thoufht of a room full of
clothing imvly arrived to be distrib
uted among the neediest men stud
ents. We must get these poor feet
covered, and a pair of men's shoes
would be better than none. The
three of us trailed through many pas

MARIE DE KYZER WINS SECOND
TRIUMPH IN COLLEGE ESTIMATION
Artist in Splendid Voice;
Gives Many Encores
Whether Marie de Kyzer won her
audience with her beautiful voice
or by her pleasing personality is a
question of small moment. The fact
is, the audience that filled Memorial
Hall on the night of November 11
was so enthusiastic in its praise and
commendation that it was necessary
for Mine, de Kyzer to add numerous
encores in order to satisfy the ap
plauding Guilfordians.
Gifted with a voice of beautiful
and velvety q xality which in its up
per range takes on a power and bril
liance that is seldom found com
bined, Mme. de Kyser sang songs of
many nations and moods ( but it
was in the group of songs in English
that she was at her best. The song
"Tally-Ho" so captured the fancy of
the audience that she had to repeat
it. Her rendition of Romskv-Korsa
koff's "Song of India" also excited
the audience to enthusiastic applause.
The following is a program of the
songs rendered and to this must be
added as encores, "April Fool," "A
Memory," "On Wings of Song," and
"Spring has Come."
1. "Deh piu me non vo sondate,"
Bononcini; "Coro, Caro el mio bam
bin," Guaraieri; "O mio Babbino
Caro," from "Gianni Scihchi," Puc
cini.
2. "Charity," Hageman; "Pirate
Dreams," Hueter; "Tally-Ho," Le
oni.
3. Aria "Pleurez, pleurez mes
yeux, from "Le Cid," Massenet.
4. "Zeuignung," Strauss; "Nur
wer die Sehnsucht kennt," Tschai
kowsky; "Der Neugirige," Schubert;
"Wie Melodien," Brahms; "Die
Mainacht" Brahms.
5. "Romance," "Chan
son Indoue," Rimsky-Korsakoff;
"Si j'etais Jardinier des cieux,"
Chaminade.
(>. "Don't come in sir, please."
(words from the Chinese) Cyril
Scott; "A widow bird sate mourn
ing," Lidgey; "Sacred Fire," Alex
ander Russell.
Guilford College is fortunate in
having so distinguished an artist to
visit her. The successses of Mre. de
Kyzer have been many and large dur
ing her short career as a concert sing
er. She has appeared as soloist with
the Minneapolis Symphony Orches
tra. The Handel and Hayden Club
of Boston and she appeared in joint
recitals with many of the leading ar
tists of the day, among them Galli-
Curci, Morgan Kingston and Arthur
Middleton, all of the Metropolital
Opera company.

ORIGINAL SKETCH OF
NEGRO LIFE FEATURE
OF PHIL-CLAY PROGRAM
Local Characters Figure
in Clever Piece of
Kitchen Comedy
The members of the Henry Clay
literary society were the guests of
the Philomathean society at its reg
ular biennial reception Friday even
ing, November 10, in Memorial Hall.
The feature of the program was a
sketch of negro life in the South at
the present time. As indicated by
the favors in the form of colonial
iron posts, the setting for the first
number, "Culinary Capers," was
Founders' kitchen. The action con
cerned preparations for supper which
begin at two in the afternoon and
last until five-thirty, and was supple
mei ted by "Uncle Mun's" jig, and
music by the aspiring soloist "Ma'y
Jane."
The cast included:
Laura, Bertha Zachary; Lizzie,
Elizabeth Brooks; David, Janie Mae
Butler; Mrs. Burgess, Sallie Wilkins;
Pickaninnies, Gladys Futrell, Maude
Simpson, Tiny Raiford.
Uncle Mun, Lalah Cox; College
girls, Ruth Ragsdale, Lloyd Merri
man; Miss Benbow, Edith Macon;
Ma'y Jane, Marie Beamaii.
The players interpreted their parts
exceptionally well, and their conver
sations in the southern darkey dia
lect were strikingly realistic.
The second number of the program
was a group of negro spirituals by
the quartet, Hope Motley, Vera Far
low, Annamae Fowler and Dora
Moore. This number pleased the
audience very much.
In behalf om the society, Helen
Robertson, the president, welcomed
the guests. The Clays who respond
ed were: Ralph Farlow, Spot Taylor,
William Blair, Edward Holder and
James Bar bee.
After the program the meeting
adjourned to Founders' Hall for a
social hour. Here "Darkey's Temp
tation," "Forbidden Fruit," "Hoe
Cake"' and "Pickaninnies Choice"
became chicken salad, pickles, saltine
wafers and Saratoga chips. "Mam
my's Delight" proved to be lemon pie
with whipped cream. "Coon's Stim
ulator" was coffee and mints.
The guests, in addition to members
of the Henry Clay literary society
were: Misses Louise Osborne, SalHe
Benbow, Bessie V. Noles. Beatrice
Byrd, Mrs. Burgess, Mme. and Mile.

Basketball Season Opens for
Girls
The basketball season for the girls
began last Thursday. Quite a num
ber of girls came out for the first
practice. Each of the four classes
has a team while the freshmen have
enough to make three teams.
Practice days are Tuesdays and
Thursdays, and it is expected that
the new outdoor court will be in use
by next week.
The new girl-old girl game will
take place just before the Christmas
holidays.
George Zachary visited his sister
Bertha the past week-end.
