With High Point But Lose To
Elon By A One Point Margin
Quakers Defeat High Point!
College 23-17 Bit Lose In !
Second Game 28-29
TEAMS WELL MATCHED^
Ferrell Is Mow Back In The Game l
In the last three games of the j
Quakers schedule which came before
mid-term examinations, the Quakers
quint made an even break with the
Purple Panthers of High Point College
and lost a brilliant game with the
strong Maroon and Gold aggregation
by one point. The scores in the High
Point-Guilford game, one of which
was played here and the other at High
Point, were 23 to 17 on the local floor
in the Quaker's favor and 29 to 28
at High Point with the Quarkers trail
ing. At Elon the Qaarkers lost the
contest by one point with a score of
16 to 15.
GOOD GAME AT ELON
The annual Eion-Guilford contest
was a basketball classic. Every ele.
ment that can enter into a contest and
contribute to the excitement of the fray
•was present. The teams were apparent
ly well matched, and the outcome was
in doubt throughout every minute of
the game. The close guarding on the
part of both teams kept the score down j
to the minimum. The compact defense j
kept the ball entirely out of reach |
of the hoops for a great amount of
the time.
Guilford was the first to score. |
R. Smith made a foul shot good. This |
was followed by another shot from
the field. The Christians, however,
soon rose to the occasion and a foul ■
and a field shot and tied the score.
Near the close of the first quarter they |
added another shot and the score stood
5 to 3 at the quarter, with Coach j
Doak's quintet sniffing the dust.
At the beginning of the next quarter '
Coble replaced Moore at center.
During this quarter the Christians hail
a slight edge, getting two field shots
to Guilford's one.
In the second division the Quakers
began to locate the landmarks and
getting their bearing, started to chip
away the Christian's lead. At the
third bell the game was beginning'
to afford thrills. The score was play |
ing leapfrog and the cheering had ]
given away to a deafening roor. With j
a minute go to the Quakers shot a j
goal and placed themselves one point j
ahead, the count standing 14-15. As
the stop watch ticked off the few
remaining seconds the Christians caged
another beauty that marked the diff
erence between winning and losing.
HIGH POINT DEFEATED
The Guilford-High Point game that
was staged here was a rough and tum
ble affair, through which was scatter
ed moments of brilliant work on the
part of both teams. Numerous fouls
were called, especially on the visiting
team. Getting away to a good start,
the Panther's scored well before the
locals' defense began to function pro
perly. After the visitors had hooped
three points the locals broke away and
starting with two foul points, they
piled up a sinking fund of points
calculated to settle the contest. At
the half the count stood 14 to 6 in
favor of the Quakers. The Panthers
never smelt blood again except one
time when they had rolled their score
to within four points of the Quaker
lead. However the spectacular shoot
ing of R. Smith ami Moore kept the
locals at a safe distance ahead of
the invaders.
LOSE AT HIGH POINT
The game at High Point Saturday
night, January 30, was a seesaw affair.
The Purple Panthers were able to
put over the winning point only in
the closing minutes of the fracas.

Frances Osborne of Pleansant Garden

Mr. Haworth who follows Edwin

NEW SPANISH COLLECTIONS
LATELY ADOED TO LIRRARY
Students who are taking Spanish, !
especially the members of the class
in Spanish 111, are finding the nice
addition to the Spanish book shelf
in the library an interesting one. j
These new books were on hand shortly
before mid-term eraminations but it |
is only rectent!' that their real value
as reference works and supplementary
reading has been looked into.
It is hard to make a book report
sound enough like the sensational
things which a e suppressed and not
allowed to go through the mails. If j
once a book report could gain enough
notoriety and questionable reputation
as to cause it to be suppressed, then I
in these very modern days, there would j
be a general scramble for the book
that was reviewed.
However, the books which this arti
cle is to review, have practically every
one caused a genuine stir when they
were first published. The first book
to head the new collection received is
a beautiful, illustrated copy of Gervan
tes 'Don Quijote. It recommends itself
Rather, Don Quiiote. himself, who is
just shortly arrived from Madrid on
the front of the volume, recommends
himself and his volume.
The other Spanish works are of an
equally interesting and valuable na
ture. There is a collection of 112 of
Lope de Vega's plays in four volumes.
Another four volume set includes re
presentative works from the pen of
Calderson de la Barca. The Poema
de Mio Cid, in cheap paper binding
and another volume of La Vida de
Lazarillo de Tormes are not to be over
looked. A large Appleton's Spanish-

In North Garolina
| Dr. hlihu Grant, President of the

hour. Doctor Grant is in North j
j Carolina for several day's visit and
will spend most of his time at Guil
ford College.
"I am going to lose you in the
Bible" said Dr. Grant as he began
his chapel talk Tuesday morning. He ]
read one of the short stories of the |
Rible, the parable of the trees choos
ing a king found in the ninth chapter
of Judges. Dr. Grant went on to say
j that this was a purely fictional pas
! sage, and although written over two
j thousand years ago it was an early J
; expression of our present democratic I
ideas. Jothan, the young lad who |
spoke this parable had been driven
from his home and from the throne
to which he was the rightful heir. I
| His half-brother having killed all the I
| rest of the family and removed all I
difficulties in his way. had seized this
throne. The lad made the trees to
say that they had something worth
j while to do in the world and could
not afford to be the lord over the
others. But the thorny bramble that
i could never help the world seized
\ the kindship eagerly.

this parable the greater it becomes for

"Thq Effective College" Is
Chief Topic of Discussion
Before The Meeting
DEAN HAWKS SPEAKS
President Also Attends Friends Educa
tional Hoard Meeting
President Binford returned Friday
evening, January 29, from New York
and other points where he has heen
since January 13th.
Dr. Binford went to New York to
attend the twelfth annual meeting
of the Association of American Col
leges. held January 14, 15, and 16.
This Association was founded
Robert L. Kelly who, at that time,
was President of Earlham College,
Richmond, Indiana. This is the
second time the annual meeting has
been in Now York City, all previous
sessions having been held in Chicago,
111.
"The Effective College," was the
theme that was taken up at the meet
ing. The size of the effective col.
lege, athletics in the effective college,
the personnel of students and teachers
in the effective college, the cost of
education in the effective college and
business administration and college
buildings and equipment was con
sidered. In the discussion regarding
the size of the "Effective College,"
Dr. Binford said there was strong
sentiment expressed that a college
could very easily become too large
to remain effective in its work. Some
of the men, however, considered that
the effectiveness depended rather upon
the equipment and organization than
upon the size.
In speaking of the discussion cen
tering around Athletics in the "Effec
tive College,'' Dr. Binford said that
it was suggested that the students
should be trained to know how to
participate in the control of athletics
and that probably alumni control was
generally not desired. A'so there was
a concensus of opinion that in the
"Ecective College." athletics never has
the first place but that if it is kept
in its proper place, inter-collegeiate
athletics is healthful and wholesome.
One whole session of the meeting
was devoted to a consideration of the
development of personality through
Religion and Education. Dean Hawks
of Columbia University, . told of a
course in the study of religio i which
is conducted there. Other promiment
educators of the country spoke along
this line. In speaking of the address

Philadelphia minister. Dr. Binford
