EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Football Season
The first and last games of our
recently closed football schedule
were lost. In fact, five games out
of the eight were lost but yet this
cloud still has a silver lining.
When we stop to consider our
schedule within itself, we are rather
disappointed, but when we compare
it with other schedules it really
is not so bad after all.
In reviewing the work that we
have done this year in football
the outstanding figures are Coach
Doak, Mr. L. L. White and Mr.
Newlin of the Athletic committee.
Outside of this committee, the
team has failed to receive but
little support from the College
faculty as well as from the student
body as a whole.
At the beginning of the season,
several of our letter men failed
to report for practice, for various
reasons. This very fact, in a large
degree, hurt the morale of the team.
Finally after practice was well un
der way two or three of these
men were induced to join the squad.
Another unfortunate condition
during the season was that the
cheer leader was on the team and
had very little time to devote to
stirring up enthusiasm among the
students. Consequently the support
form the student body practically
ceased.
This lack of support from the
college as a whole, was in nowise
encouraging. It is all too true that
the team lost, game after game,
but if a team doesn't need and get
support when it is losing it does
not need such support when winning
due to the fact that a victory is
support within itself.
The team very early in the season
sustained it's severest loss when
captain Mcßane, was injured, (the
mainstay in the line). He didn't
get back in the line until the last
game. Elton Warwick held piv
otal position in a creditable man
ner, playing his best against Wake
Forest. Pringle and ''Block Smith
deserve worthy mention at the end
positions. Each playing his best
game, at Haverford and Lynchburg
respectively.
All of our backfield were hold
ing their first varsity position and
none played outstanding ball. In
the Wake Forest game the fielders
put up their best fight.
"Babe" Shore, who was on the
team only part of the season, play
ed stellar ball. Jack Harrell and
oilier new men deserve worthy men
tion.
Fellows, you have fought a good
fight, you have kept up faith, and
although your crown is not studded
with encouraging scores, yet those
marks of true sportsmanship are
engraved thereon, without which no
score is victory.
Spot Taylor is the only man on
the entire squad who graduates this
year. The prospects for a team
next fall are fine and we are now
looking forward to your playing
next year.
More Pep, Boys
The basketball season will soon
be here. The question of support
still confronts us. There is hut one
answer—we are going to give it.
The cheer leader is appealing to
the entire college group to give its
undivided support to the pep meet
ings and to the cheering at games.
He has planned to call some pep
meetings in the near future and we
hope that each person of our groups
will feel it a personal privilege and
duty to be present and give any
aid that he can.
Try Outs
The attention of all society mem
bers is called to the section in the
constitution of the Guilfordian
Board concerning the selection of
its reporters:
"Art VI. Sec. 3. Three student re
porters shall be elected by popular
\ote from each society in January,
to take office at the opening of the
second semester. Candidates for
these positions shall be nominated
by committees from each society.
Elligibility shall be judged on
a basis of competitive work covering
at least three weeks of definite as
signments made by the managing
editor."
Assignments will be made for the
next issue of this paper to those
who wish to try out for positions
as reporters. All of you who wish
to try out see the managing editor
at your earliest convenience.

Chemistry Department
Receives Apparatus.
The department of chemistry has
just received a two hundred dollar
order of new apparatus, most of
which is consigned to the organi"
classes. A new combustion furnace,
valued at seventy dollars is the j
largest addition to the organic
chemistry equipment and will be
very useful in determining the
carbon and hydrogen contents of
organic compounds.
Both the Physics and Chemistry
departments have recently received
portable storage batteries of twelve
and six volt capacities. These
batteries are to be used in the
latter department in electro-chemical !
analysis.
The gas analysis apparatus has
also been materially increased and
work in this particular field begins
in Chemistry V at the start of the
spring semester.
THANKSGIVING" DAY
(Continued from page 11
riedly by some while others 1 in- !
gered around certain very attractive
rooms. But within an hour all the
girls had left for their own rooms,
to be hostesses to the boys who
visited New Garden and Founders
until 5 o'clock.
The feature of Thanksgiving even
ing was the two socials held, each
of them quite different; one in
New Garden, and the other in
Founders. At New Garden a
throng of students gathered at
9 o'clock for some merriment in
old fashioned games. They began
with "echo" and finally ended up
with "fruit basket" and "going to
California." It was the most en
joyable general social of the year,
due to the fact that everybody par
ticipated in the games.
But at Founders' all the serious
minded couples had a tete-a-tete
party, uninterrupted by all noise
of games and laughter, And when
Miss Louise announced 10 o'clock
the day ended.
