ATHLETICS
GUILFORD LOSES TO WAKE FOR
EST AND TO TRINITY.
On Monday night, Feb. 14, Guil
ford lost her -third consecutive
game on the home floor by a score
of 5(5 to 15 to the exceptionally
strong Wake Forest team. Our
boys were outclassed on every
side. The Wake Forest men were
much heavier than ours, and
showed by their skillful passing
and goal shooting that they had
had several years of experience
under systematic coaching.
The visitors began the scoring
by shooting a field goal, to be fol
lowed immediately by Guilford.
But however the Baptists were
not at any time in danger of be
ing overtaken by our boys. The
first half closed with the score li 1
to 11.
In the beginning of the second
half the Wake Forest men took on
new courage or else our boys lost
some of their fighting spirit, for
the visitors ran the score up very
high and the half closed with the
Baptists forty-one points ahead.
Worth played the best game for
the home team, gett ing nine of the
fifteen points won by the team.
Francis Semans threw two field
goals, while Walser got only one.
Captain Holding was easily the
star player for the Baptist boys,
making twenty-four points. Hall
followed next with twenty points
to his crdeit. Frank and Robley
each threw three field goals.
The line-up was as follows:
Guilford —Smith, If.; F. Se
mans, rf.; Worth, c.; Walser, lg.;
T. Semans (Capt.) rg.
Wake Forest —W. Holding
(Capt.), If.; Hall, rf.; Frank, c.;

EX-SENATOR BURTON VISITS GUILFORD
We were very fortunate in hav
ing ex-Senator Theodore E. Bur
ton, of Ohio, with us Wednesday
morning February 1(5. Mr. Bur
ton gave a very interesting lecture
in which much good advice was
given to the students.
The speaker began by saying
"To live is sublime." He then
gave us live rules to observe in or
der that we may make life worth
while. They are: (1) Be system
atic; (2) don't scatter your ef
forts, but decide on a definite pro
fession early in life, and work to
that end; (3) take care of your
health, for your work in the fu
ture will depend upon your
health; (4) do not be discouraged
if you have not the best of health ;
(5) form tlie habit of writing,
read the best literature. ''Read
ing niaketh a full man; writing
maketh a correct man."
ts they were in the Wake Forest
game, but for the lack of team
work the visitors were able to
take the lead and hold it. From
the beginning to the close of the
game the Methodists displayed
some real head work. It was evi
dent that Coach Doak, an old
Guilford alumnus, has done some
splendid work in rounding the
Trinity boys into a good, strong
team.
Anderson, the very fast left for
ward, was the leading man for
the visitors. He made some rath
er spectacular shots. Twelve field
goals were credited to him. Fer
rell and Bunting took the places
of Swan and Noyes at the begin
ning of the second half and threw
two goals each.
Smith, Guilford's left forward,
was tlie leading man on our team,
throwing four field goals. Worth,
the fast center, played a good,
heady game, throwing one field
and eight foul goals. Walser was
at all times in the game playing
four points to his credit. F. Se
mans played a good game as left
forward locating the basket with
one field goal. Captain Semans
was always in the fight. When
the end came the score was 40 to
24 in favor of Trinity. The line
up follows:
Guilford—Smith, If.; F. Se
mans, rf.; Worth, c.; Walser, lg.;
T. Semans, rg.
Trinity—Anderson, If.; Swan,
rf.; Noyes, c.; Martin, lg.; Patten,
rg.
Substitutes, Trinity, Ferrell for
With all these lo not forget
your duty to your State; love
your State and work for its inter
ests. Bear in mind that our State
gains its greatest prestige because
it is one of 4S States. Take an
active interest in public affairs;
know what is going on and what
we need. Let us give matters that
pertain to general interest the
same thought that we give to our
studies at school. Life means so
much more today with all its lux
uries, amusements and opportuni
ties, than it did fifty years ago.
It is for us to benefit the age in
which we live, by doing our duty
resolutely and well.
Many of the community folks
were out to hear the lecture and
the college was very glad to have
them. A cordial welcome is ex
tended to them to attend all our
public entertainments and lec
tures.

The time has come for the base
ball men to begin their regular,
systematic practice. With the ar
rival of Coach John Fox on Mon
day the try out began. It would
be speculation even to guess >v!'o
will compose the team, but with
Futrell behind the bat and Cap
tain Short at third base, we see
no reason why Guilford should
not place a winning team in the
field. With Garner, liiddiek and
Morris of last year's team a lot of
new men and last year's subs, we
have the men from whom we
ought to select a first class college
team, and that is what Coach Fox
is going to do.
Oscar Sapp and Luther Mc-
Nairy attended the game Satur
day night.
A. B. Finch, 'l4, spent Sunday
afternoon on the campus.
Prof. A. G. Otwell, principal of
McLeansville high school, was
here last week.
Several Greensboro people at
tended the basketball game Satur

NUMBER 19
Y. W. C. A. NOTES
This week our Thursday even
ing prayer meeting was held at
Memorial. The evening was giv
en over to a series of stereoptiean
views, illustrating (he Y. W. C. A.
work in China, South America,
Japan, and India.
Mrs. Williams told about the
different pictures and supplement
ed those illustrating the work in
India with some of her own pic
tures and personal exj>eriences,
which made the mission seem very
real and interesting.
To conclude our mission week
we are going to have reports from
all the missions classes Sunday
evening. These reports will he
based on the most important sub
jects each class has discussed.
This week we are expecting to
have a secretary from the Nation
al Board to conduct at least one
public meeting.
We are also hoping to have Miss
Margaret Wilson, a secretary
from Charlotte, to be at the col
lege a few days and conduct a few
meetings for the girls.
So far the jubilee has meant
much to many of us. Indeed we
are coming to feci something of
the significance of being connect
ed with a Christian organization
which has had fifty prosperous
years. "Who knows but that we
are come into the kingdom for
such a time as this?" Our part
must be found in the words of
•Jessie Field when she says:
"I would have all I think and
say and do help to unite people
far and near in that great King
dom of Love for neighbors which
the Master came to establish."
