GUILFORDIAN
DEAR TO THE HEART OF ALUMNI
GUILFORD-ELON FRACAS
"TURKEY DAY" CLASSIC
With the big fracas of the Guil
ford football season, the Elon
game, creeping nearer and nearer,
hopes of coming out on the right
end of the score run high on the
Quaker campus.
Revenge over Elon's victories of
the last two years will be sweet if
tlic fighting Quakers take them into
the camp as is expected. Keeping
in mind all the reverses that (Juil
ford has met with so far this sea
son there is plenty of power and
fight in the team as has been
shown in keeping teams of much
larger schools on their toes right
up to tlic final whistle. Most of
the games have been lost by a
small margin and a favorable
break in many cases would have
meant victory.
So far Coach Anderson's gridders
have come through the season with
few injuries which leave the team
pretty much intact.
Now with the Elon game just a
few weeks off the boys are start
ing to show the spirit that has
filled the breasts of Guilford ni.u
for many years.
There is only one man on the
squad this year who has been on a
team that beat Elon. This means
that nearly all of them have yet
to experience the thrill of beating
Guilford's big rival. With this as
an added inducement every man is
exerting himself to the utmost to
lie in a position to give Elon some
thing to remember them by.
Having lost Pete Williams, all
conference back, and Rollins, stel
lar end. Elon is without their big
guns of the last two campaigns.
Waters, tackle, and Newsoine and
Latham, backs, are the outstand
ing players in Elon's line-up.
Elon. so far this season, has one
victory chalked up for them. Roan
oke and Randolph-Macon have
beaten both Elon and Guilford, but
the Quakers made a better show
ing in both games.

OPEN HOUSE CELEBRATED
AFTER USUAL FASHION
"1 on't you wish we could just
lock up our rooms?" "I sure hope
they break their necks before they
reach my room: I just swept all
the dust under the bed and I'm
scared it's going to blow out."
These are a few of the sentiments
expressed liy the girls on the
pseudo joyous occasion of "Open
I louse."
At the tirst sound of the bell,
Carl Jones rushed up the steps at
Founders and thus became the
leader of the visitors. Passing from
room to room, they spoke to each
owner, but remained longer in the
rooms which harbored candy.
There seems to have been two
crimes committed on the third floor
of Founders. One girl who inno-
cently treated her company to
candy kisses is still in deep dis
tress. "Tis said that two (one was
a professor) took advantage of
her magnamity and demanded more
than manufactured kisses.
Several doors down the hall one
girl still laments the loss of her
two dogs, "Willie" (no relation to
William Shakespeare) and "Pick"
(not Pack Kyle's twin brother).
The former owner of these dogs
earnestly requests the kidnapper
to be expressly kind to "Willie,"
who was suffering from a severe

WILLIAM PENN DISCUSSED
BY TOM SYKES IN CHAPEL
Occasion Is 250 th Anniversary of the
Landing of Penn in
America.
STORY OF QUAKER PIONEER
On Tuesday morning, the 2."0t1i an
niversary of I'enn's landing in America,
Tom Sylces gave a short resume of
William I'enn's achievements.
William Penn and a group of his
fellow believers left Flight ml 1o come
In America and to stablish a colony
of Friends in America. They were not
welcome in the Puritan settlement in
Massachusetts, nor were they tolerated
in Maryland. Thus it was that the
party after two mouths of ocean voyag
ing landed at New Castle on the Dela
ware.
Profiting by their knowledge of the
colonies, they invited everyone to
settle among tliem, and only co-opera
lion was needed to make a successful
and happy colony.
Penn himself and most of his fol
lowers were young but resourceful,
nearly all in their late 'teens or early
twenties. Young l'enn had done a
prodigous amount of work, mainly lit
erary in character, before he crossed
the ocean. He had written volu
minously. suffered imprisonment often
and spent his fortune furthering
Quaker ideals.
Penn challenges every one of us to
be the great men we might. We may
drive forward to great progress only
through a stronger spirit of citizenship
and tinner belief in God.
