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. Walser l.e Hardy Garner l.f Smith Groome l.g Bennett Hollowell, J. .. c Farlow Loyd r.g Four GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., DECEMBER 8, 1915. 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- Beeson r.t Moore Short r.e Cannon Worth q Raper Riddick l.h Johnston Hinkle r.h Cannon,C.

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.
