THE GUILFORDIAN
VOL XI.
HARD PRACTICE FOR TWO
WEEKS COMPLETES DOAKS
DRILL FOR ELON FIGHT
WHITE SHIFTED TO END—ROBERT
SON TO CARRY THE OVAL
i'lie Quaker eleven is going through
two hard weeks of gruelling prac
tice. All their energy and spirit are
concentrated on one thing, namely, the
Elon game to he played at Winston-
Salem next Saturday, the 22nd.
Coach Doak has strengthened the
"stone wall" by shifting Murray White
from the back field to the left end. This
change was used in the Hampden-Sid
ney game and proved successful. White
held down this position for four years
in the Bailey Military Institute's line
and is a seasoned lineman.
Robertson who showed up well in the
Wake Forest game anil also in the Vir
ginia game is a first year man but is
proving himself a valuable asset to the
squad. Robertson is as hard as an
"oak knot" and pairs well with
"Shorty'' Frazier. They will carry the
ball like lightning.
If comparative scores mean anything
it appears that the Quaker squad is the
stronger, for Trinity defeated Elon 56-
0 while Guilford lost .32-6. Hampden

UNLUCKYT3 DISPROVED
DY JUNIORS IN CHAPEL
13 is no longer an unlucky number
on the Guilford campus, the Junior
class exploded that superstition in chap
el, Thursday the 13th of November.
Jewell Edwards, l'ansy Donnell and
Allison White were the factors in oust
ing 13 from the unlucky list. They en
umerated numberless events that have
happened on the 13th, among them, the
birthday of Thomas Jefferson, the end
of the Greek-Turkish war, opening of
first cable line between France and
England and the opening of San-tung
harbor in 1922.
Coining c loser home the student body
was made aware of the fact that there
were 13 letters in Dr. Perisho's name
and that he received his LL.D. in 1913,
also that Dr. Binford was married in
1913. The \ irginia Robins now, also
number 13 and they are considered a
lucky bunch.
LECTURE ON FRANCE AND
DEN HUR BY MR.YEUELL
Herbert Yeueli who lectured on the
Passion Play gave two lectures last
week one on Monday night on Prance
anil one on Tuesday night on Ben Hur.
His lecture Saturday night delt with
the past history of France also its pres
ent situation and future possibilities.
"The France of the future," he said,
"would he one made Up of intellectual,
scientific and artistic people."
The lecture on Ben Hur was highly
instructive. The vivid pictures together
with a thorough story, well told, about
his life made him almost a living char,
acter. Particularly exciting was the
story and scene of the chariot race.
Mr. Yeueli is making his way north
where he will give the same series of
instructive lectures.

SCRUBS LOSE TO OAK
RIDGE AND GRAHAM HIGH
LINE HOLDS WELL BUT END RUNS
PROVE FATAL TO RESERVES
The Oak Ridge football team defeat
ed the Guilford scrubs in a stubborn
game on the llobbs field last Saturday
afternoon by the score of 17-0. They !
also lost to Graham High on Friday by j
a score of 7-0.
OAK RIDtiE GAME
The game was hard fought from the I
first play, and the defensive work of the
Quaker line being the outstanding fea- j
lure of Ihe game. The Oak Ridge backs J
were thrown for loss time and time
again. Most of their gains were by the
aerial route or end runs. The cadets
scored in the first quarter. The ball
Was brought down the field by a series
of end runs, and at the eight yard line
they used a fake end run play with
Scarborough carrying the ball, and scor
ed a touchdown.
This with the extra point completed
the scoring of the first half. But in
the-third quarter the visitors were held
for downs on the 40-yard line, and in- j
stead of punting, Sanders, the hefty
lineman sent a place kick over the bar
with perfect aim. Shortly following

GIRLS RESOLVE TO CUT
NO MORE GYM CLASSES
Miss Parker, the girls' athletic direc
tor, seems to have solved the intricate
problem of "gym" cuts. It appears im
possible some how for those that did
not claim to be enthusiasts, to attend
regularly every practice on the tennis
courts or hockey field, so when the quar
ter ended most of the girls had several
cuts posted against them. They are now
living to work those off by raking leaves,
chopping wood or marking the tennis
courts. Forty-five long minutes of labor
with the rake frees one from a "cut"— |
and so consequently the tennis courts j
are smooth and marked, and innocent i
of any stray leaves that tennis balls
delight to hide under.
PERSONALITY DISCUSSED
BY PROF. L. LEA WHITE
"Personality" was the subject of j
Prof. 1.. Lea While's chapel talk lasl
Monday morning, lie discussed the!
vague ideas which many persons have !
in regard to personality, for this per
sonality includes many traits such as !
honest) and truthfulness.
"Personality," said the speaker, "Ma\ !
include the sum total of all personal
'raits. Personality is not physical alone,
for a physically perfect individual may
lack personality. Also a man may have a ,
fine intellect, may be able to reason
well and keenly, yet lack personality. ,
Personality is really dynamic power." !
"Personality," continued Mr. White. '
"is a combination of physical, mental. ]
and spiritual traits. Energy and en
thusiasm are indicative of this dynamic
power or force. It is this power of |
personality that gives an individual a j
driving force and energy, that draws
persons to him. In personality the I
chief factor is spirituality. An example j
is the great personality of Jesus Christ.'" j
"Personality can be developed," Mr.
White maintained, "for one can develop
il by the sheer force of spiritual devel
opment. As Christ's supreme purpose
was a love for all mankind, one can
develop his personality though culti
vating a spirit of love and service. Thus
a person filled with a spirit of devotion
to work, and love his fellow men and God
will gain this force. .In addition to a
consecrated ideal one must have sincer
ity. The sparkle from the inner light
shines through the eyes. One must
study the life of the Master, attempt
to follow Him, and to assimulate His ■
characteristics if he wishes to develop i
his personality the most, for Christ was j
spirituar perfection, as well as physi- J
cally and mentally perfect."

DREAMY KID' 7 AND~ARIA ~
PUT INTO REHEARSAL
"I he Dreamy Kid" by Eugene O'-
Neill, which is one of the short plays
selected by the Dramatic Council for
this fall's production for the benefit
of the Y.W.C.A. has been cast and the
work of staging it is going steadily
forward. Charles Smith has been chos
en to sustain the leading role—that of a
young negro who has killed a white
man in a fight and is hiding from the
police. Lola Beeson plays the hysteri
cal tragic voiced grandmother, or
"Mammy," who is dying and begging
for the Dreamy to come home, though
the house is watched by the police.
Janie Mae Butler as Irene, the "high
yaller" sweetheart of Dreamy, and
Bertha Zachary as his disheartened
sister are working into their parts ad
mirably.
"The Dreamy Kid" is one of O-Neill's
greater one act plays; in fact, consider
ed by many to be the greatest. Since
Mr. O'Neill's Pulitzer prize play "Be
yond the Horizon," produced in 1920,
the eyes of the entire dramatic world
have been directed toward him. A
disciple of Joseph Conrad, a prtftluct of
the famous Harvard Workshop (Eng
lish number 47) of Playwriting, he has
climbed rapidly to the foremost posi
tion as an American playwright. His
"Beyoud the Horizon" won the Pulit
zer prize of 1920. his "Hairy Ape" was
the dramatic sensation of two conti
nents, in 1922. His "Emperor Jones"
stands as one of the greatest of dramas
of negro character. "Annie Christie,"
"(.old,'' "Different," "All God's Chil
lun Got Wings," are some of this out
standing successes. During last week
1 November 9-16) The Provincfetown
Players of New York staged four of
• lis one act plays taken from the "Moon
of the (laribees," with artistic success,
and Thursday of this same week saw the
production of his "Desire Under the
Finis." This last is considered by crit
ics of authority to contain all the pas
sions and tragedy of "Beyond the Hor
izon" with all that the experienced
Eugene O'Neill could add.

GUILFORD TO PARTICIPATE
IN TRIANGULAR DEDATE
Guilford received a challenge from
State College last week to enter as mem
ber into proposed triangular debate
between State, Davidson and Guilford
to be held some time in March. The
debating council composed of Prof. A.
I. Newlin. Dr. Perisho, Allison White,
Edward Holder, James Howell, John
Cude, French Smith and Nereus Eng
lish met and accepted the challenge.
So the probabilities of a triangular de
bate between these two institutions and
Guilford are almost certain, although
rules and a definite debate have not been
decided upon. This is the first time
in several years that Guilford has ar
ranged a debate with the larger institu
tions of the state. However, the last
time Guilford and State met in a dual
debate, Guilford was victorious.
MARGARET LEVERING WINS
STATE PEACE CONTEST
BRYANT SMITH 'l3 WON FIRST STATE
PEACE CONTEST FOR MEN
Margaret Levering won first place in
the first Fnter-Collegiate Peace Contest
for college women of the stale, which
was held at Elon College 011 the evening
of November 11. She spoke on, " A
Service of Love in lime of War." Each
college in the state was entitled lo send
one representalive to speak at litis con
test.
The introduction of an annual inter
collegiate peace contest for the college
girls of the state is an added interest
to the literary society work on the
Guilford campus as each girls' society
in the future will give much thought
and effort to encouraging its members
to participate in this annual event.
It might be interesting to note that
the Guilford representative, Bryant
Smith, 'l3, won first place in the first
inter-collegiate peace contest for boys
which was held in 1911, also winning
second place in the national contest.
INTER CLASS HOCKEY

Miss Parker, women's athletic di
rector, announces that there will be
championship hockey games next week.

men, Flay Voncannon.
The inter-class, ladder tennis tourna
, ment will be completed this week. There
| is much competition for the places.
STUDENTS ADDRESSED BY
DR. C. P. WILES OF PHILA,
Dr. 1.. P. Wiles, a Lutheran evange
list, from Philadelphia, addressed the
faculty and student body at chapel >ll
Wednesday. Dr. Wiles' subject was
"Deb:>rship lo men and God."'
The speaker characterized the edu.
j cational advantages of today as one of
the best signs of progress. He pointed
out that the conception of education
has changed from the old idea of cram
ming the mind with data lo the new
ideal of a "co-ordination of facts and
laws so as to be effective in life.
I "Education," he maintained, "is that
equipment that qualifies a man or worn
an for some definite work in life. It is
a training for an actual Work of ser
vice."
He cited St. Paul as an example of
one who regarded himself as a debtor
to the world for the training he had re
ceived, and who devoted himself to a
life of service, for he saw that his debt
could he paid only by long years of ser
vice to the sttae.
"A sense of indebtedness," asserted
Mr. Wiles, "is what should enter into
the heart of each one, for every one
owes the world a life of service. Oth
rs have toiled to give the great advan
tages of today. But for the contribu
tions of other nations America would
| not be the proud nation she is today."
"The task of humanity," he continu
ed, "is to help some one else. There is
a debt of wealth to poverty, light to
darkness, education to ignorance.
"Science without art is brighted mil
dew," he exclaimed. "Cold intellectual
ity is dangerous. The value of a man is
not what he is worth, not what he
knows, but how he uses his money and
knowledge in the service of mankind.
'I owe men something' is one of the
greatest sentiments of the world. As
'Boston is a state of the mind,' so faith,
Christianity is a state of mind, a rela
tionship of a life of service to all one's
fellow men."
THE GUILFORDIAN BOARD
HOLDS FIRST BANQUET
AT SEDGEFIELD MANOR
;. C;. DIXON OF GREENSBORO AND DR.
RAYMOND BINFORD MAKE
SPEECHES
By Lucile Purdie
i Sedgefield Manor, an old colonial
mansion near Greensboro, was the ideal
setting for the first banquet ever given
by the Guilfordian board. It was given
last Monday night, the tente, beginning
ut seven o'clock. The banquet itself
was one of those informal affairs at
which everyone has a good time, and
j which always gives a spirit of good
| fellowship to an organization of any
j kind.
| The familiar riddle, "What is black
and white and read all over"—which is
[ a newspaper—was used as the theme
for the evening. The colors for the dec
| orations were black and white with
touches of red emphasized by the red
candles and strips of red crepe paper.
Hidden beauty which it was never be
fore known that newspapers contained
was brought out in a clever arrange
ment of cards and favors.
As soon as they arrived the guests

LIBRARY MEMORIAL FUND
RAISED TO CECIL CLOUD
During the recent campaign for the
College, a memorial fund of S4OO was
| raised to Cecil Franklin Cloud, who
i was once a student at Guilford: the
j interest of which is to be used in buy.
1 ing books for the library. Me was a
graduate of Westtown Boarding School,
and his subsequent studies were one year
at Guilford and three at Earlham Col
lege, Indiana. During the war lie was
among the first to apply for work with
the Friend's Reconstruction Unit in
France and later in Siberia. It was
here that his health failed, and he pass
ed away the 16th of the 10th month in
his twenty-seventh year.
The librarian announces that she has
secured volumes of the "'Quaker" for
1911, 1914, 1917, and 1924, and that she
would be glad of any donations of other
volumes, as there are yet two numbers
that she does not have.
DR. PERISHO URGES THAT
AMERICAN PEOPLE VOTE
"The past is secure, if we are patri
olic citizens of America we will look to
die future and not to the past;" said
Dr. Perisho in chapel on armistice day.
"Let us not forget that the last shot fired
did not end the war and remember that
we are still paying the price."
Dr. Perisho's talk constituted Guil
ford's celebration of armistice day. He
challenged Guilford students to be mora
patriotic, to become acquainted with the
great issues before the American people
and the important bills pending in
Congress. He pointed out the fact that
the people of America were not exer
cising the privilege of voting as they
should, only 49% of the eligible voters
going to the polls in 1920. In his con.
eluding remarks he appealed to the
Guilford students to use this weapon to
correct national problems.
