Since the opening; of the foot
ball season Guilford Fool ball
Club's prospects for a fairly
strong aggregation, considering;
the fact that we have not had foot
ball here for at least eleven years,
have been materially increased in
the last few davs. Several men
have come out who were not on
tlie field in the beginning of the
practice and those men show up
well in action. On account of the
fact that there has not been ;t team
here for so long' and that the prac
tice has not been in process long
enough, il cannot be told at pres
ent who will compose (lie line-np
in the first real game. *But it is
more than probable that the ag
gregation will be,chosen from the
following men: Senians, I tinkle,
Jones, Lloyd, Oarner.nF. IL. .Mor
ris, J no. Win. Ilollo
well. Beeson, Redding. Kiser. "Wal
ser. Worth, Short, Riddick, .Mas
ten, Mason, Royal and others who
are rapidly rounding into good
form by every d y practice.
The tii: t g;mie of the season was
expected to be played with Aslie
ville l.inghain on last Saturday
on their own ground, but the man
ager of the Bingham team cancel
ed the game late in the week. Con
sequently the game was not play
ed, but rather than to be too badly
disappointed the club boys met
the boys in ''Blue" for an exhibi
tion game on last Saturday morn
ing 011 our own tield. This was
the first exhibition game of the
year and the boys in blue, or bet
ter known as scrubs, were very ef
fective in preventing the first
team men from having a runaway
with the game. From beginning
to end each team worked vehe
mently to out-do the other, with a
final score of 12 to (I in favor of
Ihe first team. The winning team
made two touchdowns while the
Blues were unable to carry the
ball across the line, but at one
time they seemed to be certain of
a touchdown, but lost the ball by
some fine work 011 the part of the
first team.
Prof. Moore as coach and ref
eree lias been doing an invaluable
work for the club.
The line-ups of the teams for
Saturday's game were as follows:
First team —Walser, left end;
Redding, left tackle; Lloyd, left
guard; Jno. Hollowell, center;
lieeson, right tackle; Garner,
right guard; Kiser, right end;

COBWEB SOCIAL
A rather unique social was held
at Xew Garden Hall Saturday
evening, October 1). We have heard
of following the rainbow to its end
and finding; a pot "o gold ; however
that experience is rare. It was
not a matter of following the rain
bow to its end Saturday evening,
but the tack of extricating a red,
yellow, blue or green thread from
the entangled mass which formed
a cobweb in the center of the hall
As each boy and girl who had
not made previous arrangements
were gaping wonderingly at this
cobweb, they were given one end
•of a thread and bidden to seek
their fates by finding the other
end. It would be difficult to trace
the destiny of each o\ie, but with
Ih exception of a fewVtringln tied
to chairs, posts,*or tables.,the boys
found girls winding threads in
their directions and vice-yersa.
After the cobweb had served its
purpose the crowd assembled in
the dining hall to play games.
Poor pussy cat proved very amus
ing. Heart-rending mroirs of mid
night terror made us believe that
if every dog has his day the cat
lias his night—and especially that
particular one.
Ten o'clock came too soon and
the pussy-cats and ;ill other ani
mals with or without ears were
chased away amid peals of laugh
ter and happy assurances of a
good time.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
Rains have greatly interferred
with our plans for the past two
weeks, but we are yet hoping to
have our picnic at the Rattle
Ground some time soon.
We were glad to notice an un
usually good attendance at prayer
meeting this week. Callie Lewis
led the meeting. Her subject was:
"Where Only (he Rest is Good
ICnough." She very forcibly
brought out the following points:
If we wish to develop the best
that lies within us we must give
our best to our classmates, to our
associates and to our teachers.
Slighting our work and display
ing a bad humor is not giving to
others our best.
Above ;ill we must give our best
to God. It is not necessary to
wait for the big things to come to
KARL LEHMAN HERE SUNDAY
Sunday morning, October I>,
Karl Lehman, International Field
Secretary of the Christian En
deavor, talked to us. His subject
was, "Conservation of Natural
Resources." As a starting point
he told how every drop of water
that falls in lite West is stored up
until needed and then by irriga
tion is used at exactly the right
time. "The Lord does not do for
us things we can do for ourselves.
Fifty years ago unless a man had
gray hair, or no hair, he was not
allowed to speak in church. To
conserve the natural resource the
church has, the young people must
be trained and set to work. We
must teach the young people to
use their brains and tongue for
the Lord. There are some few
who think that young people
should be seen, and not heard. 11
is mighty hard to teach an old dog
new tricks. The various commit
tees of the Christian Endeavor
give every one something to do,
and an opportunity for service.
When 1 joined the Christian En
deavor 1 could do nothing but grin
and shake hands, so I was put on
the social committee. The natural
resource is conserved by training
in ;i definite obligation and loyal
ty to Jesus Christ.
A certain man upon being asked
about missions answered thus:
Missions is a peculiar disease; it
starts in the head and works
down. The head thinks about it,
the ears hear about it, the mouth
speaks about it, the heart feels it.
the pocket book gives to it, and the
feet want to go work for it. And
so it is with the Christian En
deavor. The Christian Endeavor
has brought to youth the concep
tion that if we are to be Christians
we must get into the soul winning
game. It is the energetic, enthusi
astic young life that is in demand,
and during each college year do
enough work so that when you re
turn to your own home commun
ity your work and influence will
be felt.
put forth our best efforts. In do
ing well the little every day tasks
we are doing service for God.
In conclusion the leader said.
"Let us live in such a way that at
the end we may say with Paul 'I
have fought a good fight, 1 have
finished my course, I have kept
the faith.'"
NUMBER 4
Y. M. C. A NOTES
Our meeting last week was led
1v Prof. •)oilii I>. Woosley. As a
hiisis for his remarks lie read some
selections from the New Testa
ment. Those readings dealt with
the idea of right living. Ilence
the speaker made that his theme.
In the outset Mr. Woosley de
clared that too much emphasis
had been placed upon the emotion
al part of religion. ''Singing,
preaching and praying are all
right," said the speaker, "but they
are not all of a Christian's life.
There is something more funda
mental and that is one's personal
life." The fact that religion is con
cerned with right action and not
so much with creed and forms is
what the speaker dwelt on.
Making his remarks more di
rect he touched on honesty. He
maintained that 110 student body
should allow a thief or a dishon
est person to remain in its midst.
In closing he said: "Let us create
such an atmosphere here that one
can not be dishonest and remain.
Make him be honest or get out."
We are very sorry that the inclem
ent weather prohibited so many
of our fellows from attending this
meeting.
Mr. C. R. Hinshaw was leader
this week. To introduce his sub
ject he read a part of the story of
Joseph. His theme was Destiny.
"Behind destiny is character; be
hind character is habit; behind
habit is choice; behind choice is
dream or vision." is the way Mr.
Hinshaw began. He emphasized
the fact that in order to do or to
be anything worth while one must
have a right kind of vision and
one must follow that vision. In
order to prove his contentions the
speaker mentioned a host of char
acters both in history and litera
ture. He handled his theme in ;•
creditable manner and every ope
appreciated his remarks. A fair
ly good crowd was present.
