Guilford Club Wins
From High Point
Real Football Played by Guilford Boys-
Large Crowd Sees Game—SGore
37 to 0.
On the afternoon of Thanksgiv
ing day the boys of the Guilford
football club thai did not go home
for the holidays got together and
motored over to" meet the High
Point aggregation.
High Point was ready; they had
"chased up" about, live old foot
ball stars from teams on Ken
tucky and Pennsylvania and else
where and were in great expecta
tions of carrying oft' a large score
in their favor —the score was
large, but not in their favor.
At 3:30 the I>T!l was kicked-oft
by High Point with the wind in
their favor. The ball was rushed
back tip the field with a gain of
about thirty yards by Jones.
The ball was >s| to the locals
by a fumble. !?:iI was soon re
gained but quarter ended before
touchdown coul.l be made. Sev
eral splendid gains were made
however.
In the second quarter two
touchdowns were made in rapid
succession, both kicks at goal fail
ed, Hinkle kicking.
Before the High Point "stars"
and "satellites'' could realize
what had happened two more
touchdowns were made in less
than ten minutes' time after the
kick-off in the third quarter, both
trials at goal failed; .Jones kicked.
In the fourth quarter two more
touchdowns were made by splen
did line plunging and forward
passes. Short took a forward
pass from Jones for a gain of
about 4ft yards. Goal was kicked
each time by Worth. One attempt
was successful.
Special line plunging nnd long
spectacular runs were made by
Riddick, Jones, and Hinkle.
Groome made a very spectacular
run for a touchdown when he se
cured the ball on the 40-yard line
(after a kick) and carried it
ahead of the whole procession
across the enemies' goal line. The
whole team did work of the high
est order. Line up:
Guilford. High Point.

CLAY-PHILOMATHEAN RECEPTION
Historical Program Carried Out and is Enjoyed By
All Present.
"Here's to the land of the long-leaf
pine,
The summer lnnd where the sun
doth shine,
Where the weak grow strong and
the strong grow great,
litre's to 'Down Home,' the Old
North State."
Friday evening, Nov. 19, marks
an epoch in the social festivities
of Guilford College, in which Phi 1 -
omatheans have had a part; for it
was on that evening that the mem
bers of the Henry Clay Literary
Society invited them to be present
at their annual reception given at
Memorial Hall.
Even before the visitors left
their own society hall they had a
foretaste of What was coming. At
tractive program and menu favors
with the popular North Carolina
toast and the state seal engraved
in brown on the cover, weio given
them.
After the guests reached Memo
rial Hall they were conducted
through an entrance, curtained oil'
on each side, until they came to a
larger enclosure where pennants
of the two societies decorated the
purple and white walls, and where
the members of the Clay Society
stood waiting.
The program consisting of four
numbers was one that would nat
urally appeal to all loyal North
Carolinians. First Mr. Terry con
vinced, at least for the evening, all
those present that North Carolina
was not settled by "Rough Necks"
who could not flud a place in the
aristocratic society of South Caro
lina or Virginia. In the debate
the judges concluded, in favor of
the affirmative, that the lirst per
manent settlement was made i't
North Carolina, although Rhesa
Newlin gave strong argument for
the other side. Roger Iviser in the
third number paid a fitting trib
ute to North Carolina, the State.
The last on the program was a
score or more of interesting facts
taken from North Carolina colon
ial records. Apparently these rec-

ords are not carefully read by the
majority of people.
After the program, Charles
Lambeth, president of the Clay
Society, assured the guests of
their welcome. A number of l'liil
omatheans responded; then Ed
win Carroll justified the program
with a good critic's report, after
which the house adjourned-
The visitors were breathless
now as one by one the Clays would
come to escort the Philomatheans
to the dining room which had been
screened off on each side of the en
trance.
On each little '..able, set for four,
was a centerpiece of long leaf pine
wiili red and white carnations,
while around the walls the long
leal' pine with its brown burrs was
used tastefully again.
The following menu was served:
Chicken patties Finger rolls
Pickles and olives
Brazilian nuts Cheese wafers
Cream and cake
Coffee Mints
The Philomatheans are fully
convinced that the Clays can add
to the long list of their accom
plishments a good knowledge of
the culinary arts —truly it was a
"feast tit for the gods." During
all this time music coming from
somewhere "out of sight" made
the guests feel that this was en
tirely too pleasant to last long.
Their surmises were right for
Father Time would grant no fav
ors. so gathering up their carna
tions and pine burrs the Philoma
theans gave as a partuing word
of their appreciation the Philoma
th can Society call and then chang
ed it for the Henry Clay.
Dr. and Mrs. Newlin Entertain.
On last Wednesday evening
from G :30 to 8:00 o'clock, the
members of the Senior class were
entertained by Dr. and Mrs. New
lin at their home. Tables were ar
ranged in the parlor and library
and every one engaged in playing
Logomacy, a new game to many of
ns. but by the aid of our host and
hostess each one speedily learned
the rules. During the game re
freshments were served consisting
of English walnuts and apples.
Eight o'clock came before we
realized how quickly the time was
passing, and each Senior went
away declaring Dr. and Mrs. New
lin a charming host and hostess.
NUMBER 11
Y. M. C. A. NOTES
Owing to the Thanksgiving va
cation we had no meeting last
week, but we had a very good one
this week. R. L. Newlin conduct
ed the service. As is usual he read
some selections from the Scrip
ture as a prelude to his remarks.
Then he made some remarks with
reference to "Respect." Under
this title the speaker made some
worth while statements, lie did
not attempt to advance some here
tofore unthought of truths, but he
spoke plainly upon the little com
mon every day faults which he or
any one else can witness about the
campus. He pointed them out and
showed that by doing those little
careless, detrimental actions we
fail to respect ourselves and our
fellow students who walk by our
side. The speaker did not try to
pick out our faults to make us
saints, but to make us decent col
lege fellows, respecting other j>eo
ple's taste, and deserving respect.
We feel that the talk was well
worth while if we only profit by it.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
We* learned long ago that it is
always worth while to attend
prayer meeting and those who en
tered association hall on last
Thursday evening expecting to get
an inspiration from the meeting
had no reason for being disap
pointed.
One of our members gave some
of her own experiences in what
might rightly be termed social
service work. In speaking of the
need of such work she called at
tention to the greatness which El
bert Hubbard achieved in New
York State reformatory. All ho
we cannot all have real criminals
to reform, she said, many of us
will, on leaving schools, enter a
lield that affords great opportuni
ties for social service work, that
is, many of us will be teachers.
Butmore especially did she call
our attention to the duties that
we owe now to the social outcasts
of our own home communities say
ing we should always remember
that the best way to combat evil
is to replace it by good.
We are hoping that all metnliers
are keeping up with the .Jubilee
articles in the Association month
ly. Altho detailed plans have not
yet been jxM-fected, we intend to
make the month of February 101G
one to be remembered in our local
Y.W. (\ A. We want to learn move
than we have ever known about
our organization.
