STATE WINS
Nortli Carolina State defeated
Guilford Monday night by a score of
30-16 in a rather uninteresting game. :
State jumped into a lead early in
the first quarter, which the Guilford- j
ians were never able to overcome. At
half time State was leading 10-6. I
During the second half the Wolfpack ,
team began to function more smooth- j
ly and the game ended with State sub
stantially in the lead.
Dickens was the outstanding player j
for Slate, while Coble was the stellar
Quaker performer.

ond half, however, the Guilfordian
netted 18 points to 12 for the Blues.

RANDOLPH-MACON DEFEATED
Wednesday the Fighting Quakers
rose in their wrath and wreaked ven
geance on the ill-fated Virginian team
they happened to face, defeating
Randolph-Macon by the substantial
score of 28-20.
Guilford's free-throw shooting was
a feature of the game, the Quakers
netting 10 points by this route. Guil
ford's brilliant passing game again
was a feature of the game.
Moore starred for Gulford, showing
uncanny accuracy at shooting, and
scoring II points for the Giulford
agregation. Butterwortli was the out

FRESHMAN TEAM SPRINGS
A SURPRISE RY DEFEATING
STATE'S FRESHMAN QUINT
Team II orks Like a Machine And
Downs Wolf lets 19-IS
In nne of the most exciting anil
spectacular games witnessed on tlie
local floor this year, I lie Guilford Col
lege Freshman Basketball team de
feated the strong State College Fresh
man qui it by the score of 19 to 18.
The game .was hard fought through
out. The Guilford team did not
izive ilu- visitors a minute's rest from
the first whistle to the final second
if play.
The local team started I lie game by
figh'ing the Slate team I'd a stand still.
I'liey made use of every opportunity
to score, and on defence they were
-•nvincible. Due to air tight guarding
State's pet play Warren to Young
to Goodwin failed to work a single
time. Guilford's passing was superb.
They held 1 lie ball in their own end
of the court until there was a good
chance to go through with it; and
lliis nearly always resulted in a
score.
The Stale Freshman team on the
other hand, although man for man
a better team, did not possess the
smooth team work that was exhibited
by their opponents. In the first half
they seemed rather inclined to let
their opponents rush them rather than
rush their opponents. In the last half
of the game, however, they came
back strong and put considerably
more ginger into t|ie game. They
were still, however, deficient in team
work, and seemed to be willing that
one or two individual players do
all the starting.
Goodwin, the tall forward on the
State team, probably did ihe best
work for his team. However, he
seemed to have an off night because

MUSCLE SHOALS AND ITS

Dr. Elwood Perisho Ma' r es PVa
For Government Ownership
And Deve'opment.
"Interesting things come before the
69th congress," began Dr. Elwood C.
Perisho in his Chapel talk Wednes
day morning, "but the next big
thing which will come before this
congress is the Muscle Shoals ques-
Following this quotation Dr Perisho
gave briefly the location and history
of Muscle Shoals a stretch of the
Tennessee River in the northern part
of Alabama. In this part of the river
there is within a very few miles a
fall of about thirty feet. The river
being the third in size in the United
States has an enormous amount of
water power available at this place.
During the World War engineers
selected Muscle Shoals as a very
favorable site for a munition plant.
The speaker continued by giving some
data concerning the water power of
Muscle Shoals compared with the
water power of the whole United
States also the expense of the build
ing of the munition plant.
The total estimated water power of
the United State is twenty million of
horse power while the total horse pow
er now in use is eight millions, ten
percent of which is in Muscle Shoals.
Yet, only about one-fourth of the

TGM SIKES ADDRESSES
MISSIONS SCHOOL ON
CAMPUS EVANGELISM
Tells Students To Live The
"Good \t' US.'
Following the third meeting of the
School of Missions las! Sunday night.
Rev. Tom Svkes was the special
speaker who addressed the assembly
of classes. He spoke upon the sub
ject. "Campus Evangelism.''
Mr. Sykes defined the term,
"Evangelism" as living the "Good
News," rather than telling it, in the
literal sense. He remarked at length
upon the futility of attempting to
tell the "Good Newes" when the ones
•Vho would attempt to do so are not
living examples of the kind of life
which they are attempting to emulate.
He deplored a fallacy which the older
people of the church are prone to
allow the youth to beiieve and which
they ever encourage. This fallacy is
in the statement which one hears, "It
is easy to live a Christian life." "To
be a Christian is not easy," he said.
"We might as well face the facts."
The speaker made a forceful com
parison of the attitude of the average
present day with a person's attitude
whom he observed a short time since.
"People are like the man I knew
who bought real estate for §12.00.
He immediately began to ask SBO.-
000 for bis property, in spite of the
fact that the same company from
whom he purchased the land had
hundreds of lots that it would sell at
a price not exceeding that for which
the man purchased his property.
Men want to gel something of a great
ileal of worth for little. You can't
get a great deal of good, spiritually,
lor litlle. The efforts that we expend,
get for us what we secure. It's whal
we think about constantly that gets
down into us and becomes a pari
.f us."
The School of Missions is now jusl
liall through its schedule. So far,
the attendance lias been exceptionally
good. On the first night, three

MUSIC DEPARTMENT IS TO
HAVE A NEW GRAND PIANO
At the recent meeting of the Board
of Trustees action was taken concern
ing Guilford's need for a new grand
piano. The selection of the piano
lias been placed in the hands of Mrs.
Glenn Gildersleeve. It is not certain
as yet just whal make will be chosen,
but it is thought that Mrs. Guilder
sleeve favors either a Steinway or a
Mason & Hamlin.

REEGE HEADS CAST OF
SPRING PRODUCTION OF
THE DRAMATIC COUNCIL
| Rehearsals Start This Week
j. On "The Goose Hangs
High." Strong Cast
'.'The Goose Hangs High" is the
odd and delightful title that charac
terizes the spring production of the
| Dramaic Council. It is based upon
Lewis Beach's clever comedy of
adolescent school life anil of ilis
e
Iracted parents in a well to do family
of ihe middle west.
The following excerpt from the
monthly review in the Theatre Maga
a/ine is exceptionally well charac
li' i/.ed with deftness and sympathetic
insight into the dramatic possibilities
of this play.
"Here is a play that should give
comfort to every perplexed and dis
tracted parent throughout the land.
Mothers and fathers who are troubled
1 at what they believe college life is
doing to their sons and daughters;
I transforming well mannered, guileless,
innocent (more or less), boys anil
girls into fresh, cake
eaters and bob-haired lipsticked,
cigarette smoking flappers will find
their fears quite groundless, that
1 when the emergency arises, the dear
children know how to put aside their
nonsense and always turn up trumps,
this gratifying assurance alone in
. sures the popularity of the play in
( every anxious home in the country.

OF WOMEN
SURJECT OF WER DERATE
Whether or not women are as com
petent to hold offices anil serve on
iuries as men, was the question for
debate in the Websterian Hall on
Friday night, February 19. Nereus
: English and John Hughes of the
affirmative argued that the advent of
women into polities bad caused a great
moral awakening anil a betterment of
y : conditions in general over the whole
' e country, and that they viewed all
things in a humanatarian way, thus
covering politics and the courtroom
Dwith the refinement and tenderness of
woman's spirit. They also contended
D, that failure made thus far by women
officials, should not be marked up
against the whole sex forever because
(| , they had not yet been given time to
!_ show their merit. On the other hand
(| Wilmer Steel and Charles Weir won
0 the decision of the judges by showing
5. the failure of women office holders
n and jurors. They also contended
1 that women because of physiological
r- 1 and psychological reasons have more
a intense feelings anil emotions than
1 man. and unfortunately these senti
_ ments overule her reasoning power,
i. They argued that the natural maternal
I instinct of the feminine sex eliminated
• them from judicial and administra
• live duties, where sentiment should
i not be taken into consideration.
i For the second number Elwood
| Parker gave a humorous reading
? which was appreciated by all.
f i The society was glad to recieve
i | into its membership Forest S. Towe,
Iwho favored the society by a very
helpful talk.
After a thorough and beneficial

Doctor Binford Reports An
Increase In Enrollment
For This Year
ENDOWMENT GROWING
Guilford Should lie Able To Qualify
For Southern Association
Of Colleges
Wednesday, February 18ih, the
Board of Trustees and the Advisory
Committee met here in their regular
joint February session.
Much of the meeting was taken up
with financial affairs. As this was
the regular time for the adopion of
the year's budget.
President Raymond Binford, in his
report to the board, remarked upon the
extra favorable aspect of the present
scholastic year. He showed an en
rollment of 297 students for this
year which is an increase of 11 over
last year. The largest number that
has been in actual attendance at any
lime this year is 280. This increase
in enrollment has come in spite of the
fact that the entrance requirements
have been made more exacting
Doctor Binford reported that good
progress is being made on the collec
tion of the endowment pledge which
were made three years ago The col
lections are nearing the mark that
will place the actual endowment of
Guilford at $500,000. All the pledges
liiut were made there years ago will
fall due this spring and if the col
lections in the closing months of
their maturity are as good as they
ha\e been up to tile present time the
goal sought three years ago will be
reached.
The favorable financial outlook, ac
cording to Doctor Binford, seeined to
enchance the confidence and optimism
of the Hoard of Trustees. Reflecting
upon the fact that the extensive pro
gram which they set out upon three
years ago is about completed, they
seemed to look forward to an equally
great step of progress for Guilford in
the next three years.
The next and immediate step which
the Trustees hope to make a reality
for Guilford is her entrance into the
Southeren Association of Secondary
Schools and Colleges. The committee
which was appointed at the October
meeting of the Trustees to arrange
for Guilford's admission to the Asso
ciation reported that the prospects
were hopeful. The committee stated
that such obstacles as remained could
be removed beween now and I lie next
annual meeting of the Association as
which time the application for mem
bership will come up for considera
tion. The Trustees are layi.ig definite
plans to meet all requirements.
