C. E. Tebberts
Lectures
Students Hear a Strong Pica for Mis
sions.
•Charles E. Tebbetts, General Sec
retary of the American Friends
Board of Foreign Missions, lectured
most interestingly here Saturday
evening, March 3rd. He chose as
his subject: "Some Problems in the
Present World Crisis," discussing it
under three main heads, viz: Antag
onism between forces in our own
country, antagonism between na
tions, and racial antagonism.
Every thinking person realizes
that the world is just now in the
midst of great changes. Men every
where are reaching out for new bear
ings, and it is inevitable that the
world must be reorganized in every
channel of life. Old ideas are swift
ly changing, and strife and clashing
interests result. These conditions
have come to pass in a perfectly nat
ural way; they are inherent in com
plex modern life. The strife between
capital and labor, the problems of

V. M. C. A. HEARS
ABOUT OPPORTUNITY
Charles E. Tebbetts spoke to the
Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening on the
subject, "Opportunities of Young
Men." His talk was an excellent
one. He showed where men could
find a place to work and how they
could use their influence for the ad
vancement of the Kingdom of Christ
if they would only seize the oppor
tunities before them. Strength is
the pride of any man. It may be
moral, physical, or spiritual strength
(hat he possesses, but while young,
when .he is forming habits which
will remain with him thru life, it
should be his purpose to use his
strength so that he may have power
over it in later life. Habits grow,
and it is hard to break away from
them, so it is best to start right and
stay right. In order to start right,
men must accept the teachings of
Christ and live them in their daily
work.
The average layman thinks that
he is under no obligation l to serve
God as the minister is. But as a
matter of fact every Christian is un
der obligations to serve God to the
greatest possible extent. The lay
man can push the work in many ave
nues of the church w.hich the min*-
ister cannot hardly touch, such as
getting the community interested in
the Sunday school, mission work,
and finances of the church. There
is a place for the business man in the
church and he should be there.
In every community, either rural,
or village there is an opportunity for
a college man to do something. He
should rid his community of any evil
that may exist and inspire the young
people to get busy. Every man in
whatever occupation he may be,
should use his influence for the ad
vancement of Christ's Kingdom, and
in performing this work he will save
himself.

Quakers Lose
Last Game
Carolina Trim Guilford in the Final
Basket Hall (inme of Season —
Crimson and Gray Play
Indifferent Hall.
In the final basket ball engage
ment of the season, the Guilford
Quint went down in defeat by tlie
score of 55 to 28, the University of
North Carolina handing us the rath
er large-sized lemon. The game was
played on the Carolina court and the
rules were somewhat, different from
those under which the Crimson and
Gray had been working, the "not out
of bounds rule" being the law of the
contest. While this fact was a con
siderable disadvantage to the Quak
ers, Carolina clearly outclassed the
Guilford five which was lacking in
spirit ar.d played listlessly.
The first half ended with the score
of 27 to 9 in favor of Carolina, the
Quakers failing to show any real
strength in this period. In the sec
ond half, however, more geist was
injected in the game and 19 points
were added to Guilford's total while
Carolina also was engaged in the
process of accumulating tallies.
The chief features of the game
were the playing of Shepherd and
Grandin for Carolina and the free
goal shooting of McDuffie. Grandin
basketed nine field goals while Shep
herd secured seven. For Guilford,
Smith and Massey played the best
bail but only indifferent playing
characterized the last game of the
most spirited season which the Quak
ers have had in a number of years.
In no sense was the final game typi
cal of the real strength and spirit of
the team during the rest of the sea
son.
Zachary was out of the game on
account of sickness, the big center
being laid up with a severe cold.
The score and lineup was as fol
lows:
Guilford. Carolina
Semans R.F Shepherd
Massey L. F McDuffie
Smith C Grandin
Walser L. G Tennant
Jones R. G... Cuthbertson
Substitution: Smith for Jones;
Walser, D., for Smith.
Field goals, Massey, 3; Semans,
1; Smith, 4; Walser, Z., 1; McDuffie,
5; Shepherd, 7; Grandin, 9; and
Cuthbertson 1.
Foul goals, McDuffie, 7; Grandin,
2, and Massey, 8.

The Retiring; Officers.
At some time in the history of all
organizations there is a need for
that spirit which does not simiply add
something new, but-which makes old
things appear in a different light. In
Y. W. C. A. work the retiring presi
dent, Miss Hazel Armstrong, has an
swered this need.
Among other things she has intro
duced a course of systematic study
for cabinet members and has initi
ated the departmental basis for the
next cabinet besides planning for the
president's council to be held at
Guilford in April. This shows that
Miss Armstrong has realized that
Association work cannot reach all
desired ends with the president alone

Hot Air Supply Fails at Memorial.
Owing to repairs to the heating
system of Memorial Hall due to a
leaky boiler the temperature of that
building has been low enough during
the last few days to enable "From
Green lands Icy Mountains" to be
sung at collection with considerable
earnestness. Speakers have been
forced to omit references to future
punishment as the prospect of a hot
place seems more comforting than
otherwise. Students in the chemi
cal laboratory may be seen daily
closely huddled around a Bun-sen
burner, while the Biological Depart
ment has taken up the study of evo
lution during the Glacial Period. It
is to be hoped that when we again
have hot air at Mem. the quality will
be improved.

Professor Cobb
LeGtures
Popular Geologist of the University
Speaks Entertainingly of
Sand-dunes.
On Wednesday evening Prof. Col
lier Cobb, of the University of North
Carolina, gave a very entertaining
illustrated lecture under the auspices
of the Joseph Moore Science Club.
His subject was sand dunes and his
lecture, which he characterized him
self as being anthropo-geological,
ran the gamut from folk-tales to a
discussion of the practical methods
for rebuilding the parts of our shore
line which have been slowly retreat
ing inland under the influence of
wind and wave. He told first his ob
servations of the inhabitants of the
sand dunes in various parts of the
world. Everywhere he found old
customs, old methods of building,
old dialects and old folk stories ex
isting on the coastal strips. Some
where on the coast of Prance he had
found a colony who claimed to speak
the language of Adam, a claim to
some extent justified by facts, for
students have decided it is one of the
oldest languages in Europe. Along
the North Carolina reefs he found
many survivals of antiquity—reed
huts used for kitchens which explor
ers have declared cannot exist this

CURTAIN FALLS ON
BASKET BALL SEASON
Quakers Won Five Out of Eleven
Team Work Characterized the
Season—Hand Coaeh l>oak
a Flower.
Since Carolina has cancelled the
game scheduled for March Bth on the
Guilford floor, the game at Chapel
Hill on last Saturday evening closed
th • season of the indoor s,port. From
Uie total of eleven games played this
season with the leading teams of the
state the Quakers have won five and
lost six of the most closely contested
battles of any season in recent years.
I hree of the games lost during the
past season have been dropped by
the narrow margin of one point, the
Quakers having failed to properly
court the favor of that fair goddess,
l uck. Davidson managed somehow
to get the big end of two games in
which the lone tally proved disas
trous to the Crimson and Gray, the
first game going to the Presbyterians
bv the count of 28 to 27 in one of the
most heart-breaking contests staged
on the local floor in years. The sec
ond game with that same genteel set
of players also was captured by them
b> the score of 19 to 18 the exhibi
tion being staged at Statesville. The
third game which the Quakers lost
by the one-point route was with
Wake forest, the count in this case
being 18 to 17.
That the Crimson and Gray has
played an unusual brand of ball dur
ing the past season desipite the fact
that a majority of the games was
