EXIT FOOTBALL, ENTER BASKET
BALL.
On last Saturday a week ago, Guil
ford ended her football season when
the Carolina Freshmen defeated her
when she was in a weak and helpless
condition due to injuries to the
strongest and most aggressive men
of the team.
Guilford's aggregation composed
mainly of men who had never partic
ipated in any football games, and un
acquainted with gridiron tactics, has
won two games out of five. Besides
consisting of inexperienced men the
team had such a small group to select
from. As is a well known fact it re
quires a large amount of material to
produce a grid'ron machine which
can mow down the mature and sea
soned teams of long experience. This
fact was not favorable to Guilford.
Altho Guilford has not made an envi
able and boastful record, she has at
least made a record of honor for her
self, considering the fact that this is
her first year of intercollegiate foot
o&ll since 1904.
There is in the minds of the stu
dents and alumni, the question
whether or not fooball shall become
one of the recognized sports of Guil
ford. Do the students and alumni
think Guilford can support a winning
team in future years? Is there in
terest enough in the game to give it
loyal support? The Guilford ian
would be glad to hear the opinion of
any one pertinent to this matter.
Letters on the subject would b? wel
comed to our colmns. The question
of the official recognition of football
as a college sport will soon come up.
Since the close of the football sea
son the athletic interest has shifted
from the gridiron field to the "gym,"
where basketball will be the center
of attraction for some time. A'ftlio
tnere will be no regular scheduled
games before Christmas, there wjll
be given hard and strenuous practice.
There are at present about thirty
men who are able to play fairly good
basketball. Coach Doak has already
begun practice. Among the old var
sity men are Captain Smith, Jones
and Semans. The new men who are
showing up well so far are Massey,
who played on Carolina's varsity
team last year; Westmoreland, Bal
linger, and Jonas, and of last year's
scrubs Yow, Miller and Smith are the
most promising.
Out of this squad of about thirty,
there will be picked a squad of about
sixteen from which later on in the
season the varsity quintette will be
selected.
Soccer, an old and favorite sport
ct Guilford, will also have its place
among the other athletic activities.
Coach Doak has already ordered
balls, and upon their arrival, the
game will commence. This game
will give to all those who do not de
sire to participate in basketball good
exercise as well as pleasure.
ELECTION RETURNS REPORTED.
Wireless Service for Associated Press
Dispatches.
The entire student body is greatly
indebted to Profesors Brinton and
Balderston for the excellent wireless
news service which kept the college
informed of the election returns: The
Associated Press dispatches which
are sent out hourly from Arlington,
Va., were received 'by Profesor Brin
ton and posted with regularity at
King Hall. As the returns were
wired and as the tenseness of the
election increased, sleep and food,
not to mention such small matters as
study and chapel exercises, were for
gotten. On Wednesday night the
operator was at the desk to receive
the 1:30 dispatch and only when the
news came that California had locked
up her ballots for the evening did the
Democrats retire for a span of sleep.
On Thursday the same process was
continued, each report being read
with eagerness which is beyond de
scription. As Hughes would take the
lead in Minnesota and New Mexico or
California, Republican faces would
wreathe in similes. Another long
hour to wait and now the Democrats
are gleeful; Wilson is leading in Cali
fornia and New Mexico. Democratic
stock is rising and the faces of the
Republicans are as the mercury of
the thermometer. "I cannot stand it
any longer," shrieks a suffering
Hughes suffragette, while a Wilson
leader in New Garden retorts, "Bury
me now while Wilson is leading."
Thus the returns were followed
while Valentine was comparing the
reports which were being sent out
from Arlington with the Greensboro
Daily News advices. Rumor has it
that he was able to impart some in
teresting news to our neighboring
city, especially when New Hampshire
was declared "doubtful." So effici
ent was our service in fact that the
folks down town are reported to have
entered an objection to the leased
wire service from Washington, the
basis of which is the contention that
Guilford knows "sooner than we."
GUILFORD DEMOCRATS HELP
GREENSBORO CELEBRATE
(Continued from first page)
draped down the backs of the mem
bers or carried on sticks never left
the crow r d in doubt as to who they
were. After reaching the scene of
the bonfire towards which the whole
town seemed to be moving, the club
counter-iinarched and reviewed the
procession which consisted principal
ly of troops of horsemen and innum
erable automobiles decorated and
otherwise, from the occupants of
which Guilford Democracy received
a constant and enthusiastic ovation.
Returning then to the scene of fes
tivities they entertained the crowd
with songs and yells and executed a
war dance around the bonfire. After
the speech making with dignity and
as much melody as hoarse voices
could produce they marched up Mar
ket street to Elm, not forgetting a
noisy tribute to the Greensboro Col
lege for Women on the way. Along
Elm thro streets still full to overflow
ing they marched as far as the sta
tion and then back to the court
house. Yells were given at all the
strategic points. Lines of trolley
cars patiently waited until the club
consented to grant a passage. With
voices profoundly bass and rapidly
becoming basser until they finally
disappeared altogether, the members
made "Hail Wilson Hail" and "Wil
son's gone to shine tonight" resound
even above the clanging of the fifty
cow bells which one auto was drag
ging along the street. When the
time came to disband it was univer
sally felt that in spite of the regret
ted absence of the fairer and more
important half of the club the Guil
ford Democrats had made a good
showing. Many flattering comments
received from spectators confirmed
this belief.
