THE GUILFORDIAN
VOL. X.
Quakers Lose To Christians
By One Single Touchdown In
Annual Battle At Greensboro
Guilford Puts Up Brilliant Aerial
A/tack; Complete Ten
Forward Passes
REGULAR BACKFIELD OUT
Threaten Goal Line of Elon
Twice; Within Two Yards
of Scoring
Crippled and bruised and many
of her best men riding the bench,
Guilfojrd upset all the advance
football dope by holding the
strong Elon delegation to a (-0
score in her annual battle with the
Maroon and Gold at Cone l-'ark
last Saturday.
With Thomas and Herring en
tirely out of the game from in
juries sustained in the Lynchburg
tilt the week before and with
Capt. Mcßane, Casey and "Mid"
Knight on the invalid list the
Quakers found themselves hard!
pressed to surpress the onslaught
of Carboy's gridders.
Fight From Start
From start to finish they threw
themselves at the throat of the
hungry Elonite pack strangling i
it for downs and choking it for |
losses. A meager seven points,
resulting from the recovery of a
Guilford fumble on the Quaker j
10-yard line, was all there was to j
satisfy the ravenous appetite of
the Christian band..
Touchdown on Fumble
This hunk of meat was captur-j
ed only after repeated charges and;
repeated rebuffs from the Crim-I
son warriors 011 their one yard
line.
The second down of the second j
quarter ended inj a touchdown
with Elon having spent her full j
force with nothing to show for it
except a gift of seven points. And
what was more annoying, Guil
ford changed from the poor vic
tim to the probable victor.
Guilford Passes Successfully
Entering the second quarter,
the Quakers served courses of as
sorted passes, which bewildered
the would-be feasters. These pass
es, which ranged in yardage from
five to fifty, brought Guilford
many times to the door of Elon's
ham house, and it was here that
Guilford felt the great need of
her regular formation in the back
field. Many times the Quaker
ends snatched passes from the air
wormed their way through sev
eral players, and were barely
stopped by Felon's safety man.
This was not the kind of feast the
Christians had come to attend,
nor the kind that many in the
stand had come to see. The final
note of time's up. sounded on
the referee's whistle, • was the
-we:test sound ever heard by an
Elon ear.
Clean Game
The game throughout was the
cleanest, most interesting, and
most exciting that has been seen
in Greensboro in several seasons.

FURNITURE FUR MRS. RUMP
SIEHDLEI6H TU BE FURNISHED
RY HUNTLEr STOCKTON HILL CO
Huntley-Stockton-Hill Company
! of Greensboro have consented to
furnish the furniture for the play,
"'Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh," which will
be presented on the night of Nov
ember 24 for the benefit of the
Y. W. C. A. This announcement
was made yesterday by Miss Hod
man, the play director, after a
consultation with the manager of
this housefurnishing establishment.
The exact style or period of
furniture has not been decided up
on, but it will be chosen to give
an effect of wealth and luxurious
ness. Hangings will be selected
witli the same care.
Gladstone Hodgin, manager of the
i scenic effects, reports that a stair
; case is under construction, which
will allow an entrance on the stage,
j from presumably above. A back
drop, showing an Italian garden
adjacent and the ocean in the dis
tance is being especially painted
i for this play. Colored foot lights
and powerful over-head lights will
| eliminate the necessity of heavy
make-up and add to the play a
naturalness. There will be no change
jof scenery. The gray and while
paneled drawing room set being
used the entire evening.
The costumes have not been com
pletely worked out as yet. It is
probable that one of the ladies'
| stores in Greensboro will furnish
the more elaborate dinner dresses
worn by the ladies in the second
and third acts.
Miss Parker, who has been assis
ting Miss Hoffmann in the coach
ing. and acting as promoter finds
her duties as promoter growing less
arduous and the actors are begin
ning to snap up their cues and re
peat their lines without any unusual
amount of forgetfulness.

composite affair Saturday night fol
lowing the Guilford and Elon game
in the form of call and general
social. The former took place at
New Garden hall while the latter
found Cits seat of operation in
the parlors at Founders.
Dr. and Mrs Raymond Binford
were chief actors in the group social.
And their presence added a deal
of pep to the action. Such games
as wink the crowd of students

ness managers not many moons will
pass by before the students will be
given a chance to subscribe to this

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C. NOVEMBER 14. 1923
QUAKER ELEVEN PREPARES
FOR WOFFORD SCRAP
No Hurts Registered From Battle
With Fighting Christians
The Quaker grid chargers are
being put through their last training
spell, preparatory to meeting the
Wofford terriers in Greensboro
Saturday. Coach Doak is the best
satisfied with the form of his team
than at any previous time of the
season, due to the gains that they
were able to register against Elon
last Saturday.
Ail the old veterans of the Quaker
line came out intact from the Elon
fire and will be on hand Saturday
to meet the South Carolinians, with
the possible exception of Clyde Me-
Bane who was injured in a scrub
game with Pomona High. Her
ring who was out of the Elon game
is improving fast and is all likli
hood will take the end position in
the place of Mcßane.
Captain Everett Mcßane, who
chucked the brilliant passes against
the Fighting Christians will be in
better shape than be was Saturday
due to the fact that at that time he
was just recovering from hurls
sustained in the Lynchburg game.
It is not certain whether Thomas
who also was out of the Elon strug
gle and whose line plunges were
sorely missed will be able to take
his place in the Guilford baekfield
against the terriers. His bad should
der is rapidly recovering accord
ing to advice from Coach Doak and
it will not suprise the watchers of
the Doak squad to see him carrying
the ball Saturday.
ME SIMPSON WILL
60 TO PRESS CONVENTION
Maude Simpson was elected by
the Guilfordian Board to represent
Guilford College at the semi-an
nual meeting of the North Carolina
Collegiate Press Association to be
held at Trinity College. The con
ference will convene beginning on
Thursday night and continue until
Saturday noon. It is reported thai
Josephus Daniels will be among the
speakers on this occasion.
Katherine Shields was elected as
an alternate.
Miss Simpson is begining her
second year as member of the
board. Miss Shields is in her first.
GUILFORD FOOTBALL SCRUBS
BEAT POMONA HIGH
The Guilford scrubs took the
laurels away from the Pomona high
gridiron artists to the tune of 20-0
Monday afternoon on the Guilford
college battlefield. The line plung
ing of Reynolds, Kiinery, Clyde Mc-
Bane, and Pate featured the gains
of Guilford. The scrub line also
held well, not a single first down
being gained against it. The two
beautiful place kicks sent through
the bars by Reynolds marks this
gent for a future grid artist accord
ing to the opinion of some foot
ball mentalities.
MRS. BUMPSTEAD LEIGH IS
COMEDY ALSO SOCIAL SATIRE
Popular English an] American
Speech Used To
Color Play
"Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh" is a so
cial satire. It is also a rollicking
comedy in three acts. What the
English people think of Americans
forms a good deal of the humor
for the first act. The play tells
the story of a Mrs. Bumpstead-
Leigh of English, with a shady past,
attempting to marry her sister into
the upper class of America, money
preferred. ' The marriagable sister
"bucks"' at the marriage proposition
and thereon hangs the tale.
Harry James Smith, the author,
has used the popular English idea
of America and Americans to color
his play. It is a known fact that
Europenas have judged Americans
by the flashv and wealthy tourists
traveling abroad. Mrs. Bumpstead-
Leigh as played by Mary Lou Wil
kins, represents this exaggerated and
distorted English opinion and her
observations are ludicrous. They
are "killing" as some sav. What
do the English think of America
according to Mrs. Bumpstead-
Leigh? Every place but Broadway
is "wild and wooly west," there are
| no existing social castes, every
woman marries her chauffer, number
not limited: people dressed in chaps
and buckskin swagger into hotels
and hollow for sarsapariila or
Indian herb remedies and "shoo'
up" the pla e because of the slow
service. She would have her Ameri
•an hosts believe that they while
infants were rapped in bundles and
carried around on the mothers'
backs as "what do you call them,"
she asks, "Papooses?" It has actual
ly come to her ears that "girls i
co-educational schools meet as op j
pontents 011 football games with tin
opposite sex." Oh! Mrs. Bumpstead-
Leigh has the American all mapped

72.6 PER CENT OF GUILFORD
ALUMNI HAVE ENTERED THE
TEACHING PROFESSION
About One-third of This Number
Teaching at Present Time
DEAN'S REPORT GIVEN
From Various Reports It Seems
That Guilford Teachers Are
Success
72.6 per cent of the Guilford
College graduates have entered the
teaching profession. This per cent
age was announced from the office
on the Dean, after a careful ex
amination of the records of the
Alumni. To this number may be
added a total of ten preachers and
five Y. M. C. A. secretaries.
Of the 468 Alumni of the college
340 have entered the teaching pro
fession. Of this number, it is esti
mated that about one third or 33
per cent are at present teaching.
Ihe number of 468 includes every
person who has graduated from the
college, both living and dead. 10
of this number have taken the vows
of preachers and are now or have
been active preachers. Guilford has
five secretaries in the Y. M. C. A.
work, with possibly one or two
more which are unaccounted for.
There are ten Alumni which the
AI umni secretary is not in touch
with in regard to their present pro
fession.
With a percentage of 72.6 of their
graduates in the field Guilford
would naturally be proud of the
output of her pedagogical depart
ment. It is thought by some, that
Guilford's large teaching output,
influenced to a great extent the
favorable report of the General Edu
tation Board last fall. This how
ever. was outweighed by the report
of Doctor Sage of this Board that
of all the colleges it had been his
privilege to examine, Guilford show
