SUBSCRIBE to THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME XIII GIRLS' ATHLETICS UNDER DIRECTION OF MISS GILBERT Hockey Practice Already Begun With Eighty-five Signed Up For the Sport TENNIS IS ALSO POPULAR New Athletic Equipment is Ocdered. Inter Class Series Will Open During November. The fact that there was a seemingly unavoidable slump in girls' athletics at Guilford College last year will soon be forgotten. • New interest has filled the girls with pep and enthusiasm, and the coming season bids fair to be one for friendly rivalry and cooperation in de veloping girls' athletics on the campus. The most important factor in this cultivation of feminine physical alert ness is the new girls' athletic director, Miss Dorothy Gilbert, a graduate of Earlham College and graduate student at Columbia university. She will also have charge of the girls' physical educa tion. Under her capable directorship the prospects for good teams in field hockey, tennis, basket-ball, and track, in their proper seasons, seem bright indeed. There are eighty-five girls out for hockey and approximately fifty girls have signed up for tennis. There is still a considerable number who have not signed up for either sport. The inter-class series in hockey will be held early in November; a tennis tournament will also be held. New clubs and balls have been order ed for the use of the hockey squads, the fields are in excellent condition, and there seems to be plenty of good ma terial in the number who have played this sport before. Field hockey is a well known European game which has developed with increasing popularity in America for the past five years. Soccer may be introduced at the end of the hockey season.

Back the Team At Davidson BEATTY IS STAR Duke's Aerial Attack Over comes Quakers Weakened By Loss of Beatty WAS CLEAN FOUGHT GAME On Saturday, September 25th, at Dur ham, Guilford college opened her foot ball season with Duke university as an opponent. It was poor football weather, the excessive heat causing players to lose from five to ten pounds each from perspiration. Tlw; score was 32 to 0 in favor of Duke university; but the score was not a true indication of the playing of the two teams. Guilford outplayed Duke the first quarter, getting within 20 yards of Duke's goal, where Beatty, Guilford's quarter-back lacked a few inches of registering a drop kick. In the second quarter Duke, failing to make gains through the line, began a series of passes, which netted two touch downs for 13 points, which was the score at the end of the first half. During the whole game Duke made 13 first downs to Guilford's four. Duke was penalized 60 yards and Guilford 15. Duke com pleted seven passes out of 15 attempts, and Guilford completed three out of four attempts. In the second half Guil ford's team was somewhat disorganized on account of the loss of quarter-back Beatty through an injury to his ankle, and Duke scored 19 points. The game was free from roughness. All of Duke's last year men were in the game except, one, while Guilford has lost four of its last year first string men. However, Guilford made a very creditable show ing. The lineup of the two teams was: Duke (32) Guilford (0) Position Bennett Parish L. E. Thompson, (C.) Lindley L. T. Jones Hoyle L. G.

President Raymond Binford opened his welcome address to the students of Guilford college, Tuesday morning, by reading a passage of scripture. After a silent prayer, Dr. Binford said, "It is with real thankfulness that we welcome you this morning." He mentioned the absent faces among the faculty and suggested that their loss be made up by the students living sacrificial lives and by standing for the ideals of those who cannot be back. The examination approved by Dr. Binford for students consisted of the following requirements: First, that one be man enough to get up promptly, go to meals and classes promptly, and go to bed at a fixed time every night. Sec ond, that one be able to go off and study lessons until he knows them. Third, that one lie able to carry loose change in his pocket without spending it. Fourth, that one be willing to fail rather than steal information from an other's paper. NUMBER 2
