THE GUILFORDIAN
VOL. XII
GDILFORD PRE-SEASON
GAGERS WIN ANOTHER
FROM DRAPER Y. M. G, A,
New Members Of Squad
Doing Splendid Work
Saturday night the Quaker pre-season
basketball team forecasted a favorable
season by pi'ing up a score of 54 to 21
on the Draper Y. M. C. A. aggrega
tion. The whole contest smacked of
good, cool, scientific, basketball on
the part of the local team. The quint
went into the game, evidently with
the aim of chalking up twelve points
to the quarter. At any rate, when
the half was up, the score indicated
an even two dozen. Their rate of
scoring in the third was increased by
two points; in the fourth they "made
assurance doubly sure" by salting away
an extra half dozen points besides their
scheduled dozen.
At the end of the first half, the
visitors had only found the hoop with
three field goals and a foul shot. But
with opening of the second act their
defense stiffened and they became more
active on the offense. A number of
times their right forward worked his
Way under the goal for a crip shot
and was successful in making the affair

"STEW" ON THANKSGIVING
NIGHT A BIG SUGGESS
Developments since Thanksgiving
night, which have mainly resulted in
a consensus of opinion being arrived at,
point to the fact that of all the pro
grams staged at Guilford Thursday,
the Stew was the biggest success. And
this success was achieved too, in spite
of the fact that the last ladle of the
splendid Brunswick concoction had
hardly been baled out when a pelting
rain began to drive the constituents of
the festive party to shelter.
Someone has lately remarked that
there is "a great deal in a stew." It
is generally agreed that there must have
been a great deal in this particular
stew. Through the long dark hours
Wednesday night the wild revels of
the Chefs could be heard as the\
plucked the fowl "furnished" by the
day students for the coming feast.
From the reports of those who roomed
nearest to the abodes of the culinary
artists, the capped and aproned masters
of the pot spent a night of wassail as
well as labor.
A recent attempt to find out the
names of all those who deserve credit
for the excellent "feed" revealed the
names of a large number. It seems
that Prof. "Chem" Smith was Chef-in
chief of the affair, and that he was
assisted by Rufus "Shad" Smith who
served as chief Chef-de-camp. Other
lesser dignitaries who were none the
less concerned in the excellent work
were: Perry Bryant, Chief-Ladler; Earl
Henley, Cracker-Dispenser; Patrick
Stuart, Fire-Chunker; Waldo Williams,
Master of China and Silverware;
Sydney Winslow, Auditor-of-Com

With final rehearsals only two weeks
away, "Adam and Eva," the fall play
of mishaps and clever dialogue, is
fast being rounded into presentable
form, and is shaping itself into the
proper number of acts, love scenes and
comedy hits.
The main problem about which this
mirth-provoking farce revolevs, is how
to make a wealthy man's family see
that there is something elso in life
other than bills, dresses, and teas.
Moore Rabb, as Adam, a young home
loving man, who is put in charge of
the King family in the father's absence
promptly decides to take them out to
an old farm, far away from city dis
tractions and there bring to a more
rational state of mind. However as
he reckons without Eva the youngest
daughter of his adopted family—with
whom he soon falls hopelessly in love—

THANKSGIVING SERVICE
HELD AT MEETINGHOUSE
A thanksgiving Service was held at
the Church on Thanksgiving morning
for the public and the college students.
The service was conducted by Joseph
Peele. Samuel Haworth taking charge
of a Thanksgiving response, in which
the whole congregation took part. Two
selections were sung by the new choir.
Which is under the direction of Samuel
Keen.
In his sermon Joseph Peele said that
Thanksgiving Day was one of our best
holidays. The idea originated in this
country, with the Week of Thanks
giving, which was held by the Pilgrims
after their first succesful year, and
when their harvest proved good. Their
idea may have come from the Week of
Thanks observed in the Bible. Later,
this week was made into one national
holiday.
"It is necessary that we have three
things in order to be thankful; appre
ciation of values, sharing with someone
and friends and especially a friend
ship with God. We also desire to have
three things in our lives; joy, friend
ship and eternal life. No life would
be complete without its periods of joy,
sorrow and friendships. Each perfect
life is crowned with eternal life and
to gain this we must have a friendship
with Jesus Christ. By living in his
ways and following his precepts we
receive our three great desires. It is
for our possession of so many material
and spiritual things and for our great
friendships and our Great Friend Jesus
Christ that we are thankful."

Discussion Of Permanent
Court Terminates With
Ballot Which Proves
Favorable To Adhe
sion Of U. S. To
Court
VOTE WAS 227-30
Professor Newlin, Doctor
Hobbs, John Webb Can
non, Doctor Perisho
And Professor
Davis Speak
In the beginning of each of the past \
four centuries the world has been 1
invalved in great armed confict. In j
the beginning of the sixteenth contury, j
after the War of the Spanish Succession '
and after the Napolionic wars, there
was much discussion of plans for
international peace. Now, after the
lost of the great war of worlds history
the discussion of means settling inter- !
national disputes has become more
general. For several years the United I
State has taken an active part in try- j
ing to organize a World Court for \
peace. But after the Court has been
organized and is now meeting success
the United States hesitates in giving j
her support.
Personnel Of Court
"The permanent Court of Inter
national Justice is provided for in
article 14 of the Covenant of the
League of Nations. The personnel of
ihe court is composed of eleven justices
and four deputy justices. Each judge
serves nine years and may be re-elected.
These judges are noninated by the
permanent Court of Arbitration, and
elected by the Council and the Assemb
ly of the League of Nations, voting,
separately." Mr. Newlin said that of
the eleven judges that now compose the
court seven of them have been Pro
fessors of International law in one of
the leading universities of their own
country. Four of them have sat on
the bench of the highest court of
their land.
Fearing lest his audience should
confuse the International Court of
Arbitration with the International
Court of Justice. Mr. Newlin ex
plained that the two organizations
were entirely different. The Inter
national Court of Arbitration, he ex
p'ained is a court where disputes are
settled by a compromise. Neither side,
in many cases receives justice. On
the other hand the International
Court of Justice is a court where the
disputes are settled by eleven unbiased
judges, skilled in international law,
who hear the evidence on both sides
and give their discision just as the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Hoobs and Cannon Speak
On Tuesday morning an open forum
was held in which Mr. J. W. Cannon
and Dr. L. L. Hohbs gave the principle
objections to and arguments in favor
of the court of International Justice.
Doctor Hobbs, elected to point out
the favorable points for the Court.
He stated at the outset that he would
quote freely from recognized authorities
on the subject- "Civilization," he said,
"now has at its service a Permanent
Court of International Justice, establish
ed by the ratification of 48 nations,
available all the time for the settlement
of disputes between nations on the
basis of justice. "Could you settle
disputes on any other than a basis of
justice?" Again he said, "after he had
mentioned the weaknesses of the
Hague Court, "the League's Court of
Justice on the other hand, has its
fixed personnel, elected for the term
of nine years with salaries ranging
from $6,000 to $24,000 a year, depend
ing upon the days of actual service.
The system thus affords an opportunity
for growth in judicial experience and

FRIENDS OF GUILFORD'S
ATHLETICS WILL HOLD A
MEETING HERE DEC. 12
To Discuss Future Athle
tic Policy
December 12, a group of former
Guilford athletes will assemble here to
discuss Guilford's athletic policy for I
the future. The rather disasteous foot
boll season is bringing to a head senti
ment which should have been working
more forcefully for the past few years,
namely; a means of getting suggestions
and cooperation from men who have
\ played on the various athletic teams,
i and from those who are loyal sup
| porters of the college physical training
department.
The Guilford Letter Men's Club lias
been functioning for the past few years
and has done some valuable work.
\ This club is, this year, promoting a
j campaign to enable a few students who
j have made good scholastic records to
| secure needed loans which will aid
I them in defraying college expenses.
The meeting on December 12, which
is not called by the Letter Men's Club.
J will likely take up a discussion of
ways and meanes of rehabilitating foot
ball at this intitution. The men who
have been invited to attend this meeting
are representatives of the differnt teams
and different classes and are from vari
ous sections of North Carolina.
HOPI INDIANS PERFORM
SAGRED DANCES HERE
Ancient Religious Rites
Arouse Interest Of
Student Body
Last Tuesday afternoon Guilford
students enjoyed one of the most unique
enteretainments given here this year.
A band of Hopi Indians gave some
of their tribal dances and songs. This
was followed by a display of various
articles made by them.
The first part of the program was a
traditional play skit given in the native
Indian tongue. Two heroes contested
for the daughter of the chief by shoot
ing arrows at a target. The winner
got the girl for his wife but the Indian
race lost some of the admiration of the
small boys on the front row when one
of the arrows missed the target entirely.
Indians, in their estimation, should be
able to shoot a bow today as well as
in the olden times. The bride walked
nonchalantly in and was 'drup' off.
The second part was an exibition of
war dances and songs. To the beating
of a large tom-tom, which was made by
skins stretched over the end of a hollow
log, the Indians gave tliier tribal snake
dance and war dances. Several "real
live" snakes were used in the snake
dance. The dancers put them in their
mouths to signify their friendship with
the reptiles. This of course was highly
entertaining to the girls, as was shown
by the many little screeches of delight
followed by stock feminine remarks
used sometimes in connection with a
mouse. Following this was an inter
pretation of jazz. Needless to say,
this was rather awe-provoking to say
the least. TTie main instrument used
was a turtle shell rubbed with a
notched stick.
At the conclusion of the regular pro
gram, everyone passed across the stage
and looked at the exibition of bead
work, leatherwork and weaving. One
of the Indians was weaving a blanket
on loom that had been in the tribe
for generations.
This band of Indians has come from
its reserve 150 miles north of Phoenix
Arizona, and is on its way to Washing
ton to petition the President to remove

LENOIR-RHYNE DEFEATS
GUILFORD IN THE FINAL
GRID CONTEST OF YEAR
Heavy Mountain Team
Have Little Trouble
With Light Quaker
Warriors
The Guilford Football season came
to a close Thursday afternoon when
the Quakers were swamped by the
Lenoir-Rhyan College team with a score
of 41 to 0.
The holiday game r.iaiked the worst
defeat of the year for the Quakers.
The Lutherans did not fail to realize
from the very start of the game that
it was a day for celebration and from
the first sound of the whistle the out
come was never in doubt.
Lenoir did their scoring the first and
fourth quarters, registering three touch
downs and a placekick in the first
period. However, the Quaker defense
stiffened in the second and third
quarter, but their offensive failed to
get them further than the 20-yard
line. The feature of the game was the
strong running attack of the Lenoir
backfield. Cox, Baldwin and Owl
played sensationally, Cox making a run
of 90 yards from the kick-off for a
touchdown in the first quarter.
For Guilford, Elbert at left tackle,
stood out on the defense. He was the
outstanding player in the Guilford
Line. H endrickson and Robertson
played consistently and gave good ac
count of themselves behind the line.
The Quakers were badly handicapped
by the absence of Reece, Parrish, Holt
and Lindley, varsity linesmen, and
White and Kimrey, the two star back
field men.
