AWFUL WRECK.
No. 13 on the Southern Loses Its
Way and Contents—Much Express
for Guilford Students Destroyed.
The Guilfordian is able to make
exclusive announcement of a terrible
catastrophe which took place on the
Southern R. R. several days ago.
The cause is unknown. It is believ
ed by some that the engineer saw a
Freshman red cap and thinking it a
danger signal, threw on the brakes
so suddenly that the train left the
track and climbed a persimmon tre
in the neighborhood. Others claim
that it wasn't a red cap at all that
fooled the engineer but only a dis
tant vision of Mary Ina and Joe
Doughton together at the railway
station. Another theory is that the
train was going up a heavy grade
and as the grade was only 74 the
train couldn't pass and received a D,
at least the conductor explained that
passes couldn't be used on that rail
road.
The following parcels for Guilford
College were lost and claims for dam
ages have already been filed at the
railway offices, a barrel of sialt for
Winningham; a keg of pepper for
the basketball team; a package of
bird seed for the men's glee club; a
megaphone for Clyde Finch; a new
subscription for the Guilfordian; a
high silk hat for Clarence Macon; a
polished steel mirror for Lyndon
Stuart; some soap for Mr. Peacock;
a copy of Shakespeare for Uncle
Munn; a step ladder for Bernice
Pike; a Bible for Bill Hollowell.
The Guilfordian will use its influ
ence to enable the above to be amply
recompensed for the losses sustained.
UNCLE MUNN'S CORNER.
The stags at Christmas went away
except a guy or two, who stumbled
round from place to place in search
of something new. Some stalked
around in college halls to see the
strangest sight that ever met a
youngster's gaze at noonday or at
night. Prof. Woosley and Prof. Ed
wards were the first to lead the
chase out in the realm of maiden
land and view a maiden's face. They
left the old grey campus when the
clock was swatting seven and did
not put away their shoes till it had
passed eleven. Rliesa stayed to play
the game of "Stu'dy quick and fast."
He says he'll never slacken rein un
til they say he's passed. Jessie went
to the madam's house—the only
thing to do. He took a seat by the
open fire and then began to coo.
Don't ask me what Ed. Carroll did—
that's left for me to wonder, but
from the things I hear them say, he
must have played up thunder. Now
Ed's a man who believes in truth —
he prides his word and deed —he
swears he's going to the Southern
fields to plant some sugar seed. It's
hard to tell how this will be if a las
sie lays the plan for a fitful frenzy
grips the brain of a lonely lovesick
man. He dreams at night in his
Morris chair and this is the tune of
his dreams: "When the war breaks
out in Canada, I'll fish in Cuba's
streams."
THE GUILFORDIAN
LETTERS TO GUILFORDIAN.
(Nothing under this head is neces
sarily endorsed by the Board or any
member.)
SOPHOMORES CONTEST JUNIOR
CHAMPIONSHIP.
I take this opportunity afforded
me by the editor to repudiate the
statement in a recent issue of the
Guilfordian that the Juniors had won
the class championship in basketball
because the Sophomores had refused
to play the final game. I am rather
inclined to think that the writer of
the above mentioned article made
his statement without having any
authority for doing so.
There was not any statement made
by the Sopphomore class as a whole
that they would not play the Juniors,
in fact we have three Juniors to wit
ness that we offered to play them
on the night the game was scheduled,
but owing to the strength of the
feeling between the two classes
Coach Doak decided that the game
should be played at some later date.
If the class championship is to be
decided in favor of one side or the
other simply because the games are
not played on the night as scheduled,
then the Sophomores have as much
claim to it as the Juniors because
the Juniors did not play the Sopho
mores on Dec. 18th as they were
scheduled to do.
The Sophomores are ready at any
time the basketball manager sees fit
to play the Juniors for the champion
ship, but we will not concede it to
them simply because the game was
not played on December 15th.
CAPT. SOPHOMORE B. B. TEAM.
Sophomores Contest Junior Cham
pionship.
The Guilfordian is quite willing to
acknowledge any mistake made in
its columns and if the Junior-Sopho
more game was postponed and not
forfeited we are glad to have our at
tention called to the matter. It was
a common understanding around
college due to the statements of sev
eral responsible persons that the
Sophomores had refused to play be
cause the Athletic cabinet had ruled
a member off their team, and the
statement to that effect was not only
made by our reporter but approved
by the censors. The above commun
ication however throws an entirely
different light on the matter and the
proper authorities will probably lis
ten to the appeals hereby made, fer
ret out the facts in the case, and
render a decision.
