4 ITKTAIX FALLS OX BASKET BALL SEASOX (Continued from first page) lost is seen from the total of points, the Guilford team scoring a total of 376 points as compared to the 313 secured by her opponents. The scoring of the past season has been as follows: Massey 52 (foul goals) and 70 (35 field) 122 Smith, Captain, 100 (50 field). 100 Semans 5S (20 field) 5S Jones 44 (22 field) 44 Walser 2S (14 field) 2 8 Zachary 2S (14 field) 2 8 Miller (3 field) (J Total 37 6 Captain Smith participated in 11 games, Massey in 10, Semans in 10, Jones in 7, Walser in 10, Zachary in 8 and Miller in 3. Captain Smith has led in shooting field goals secur ing 50 during the series, but the greater number of points has been scored by Massey who has 52 foul goals to add to his 35 field goals. Further investigation into the record reveals the fact that Smith has not had a single personal foul recorded against him during the entire sched ule which is a rather unusual record. The real work of the members of the quint has not been and cannot be portrayed by the census method. To have seen the quint in action and to have observed the emphasis laid upon concerted team work and passing makes it impossible to value the work of the individuals solely from the standpoint of points se cured. Coach Doak has so drilled the necessity of team work into the squad that individual playing did not characterize the past season. And it is this fact which made a lighting machine out of a disorganized squad of youngsters. Whatever be the record and whatever be the scores, the fact remains that Coach Doak took a squad of players with prac tically no experience and built a fast machine which despite its size play ed until the last whistle blew. The closeness of the scores reveal the character of the work of a quint out weighed and out-lengthed. The ab sence of a center crippled the team for quite a while and made necessary the defensive style of play until one day Coach Doak got hold of big Zachary and began to develop a cen ter with promise. Too much praisQ cannot be given to Coach Doak, who has made basket ball players where players were not; a team which suf fered inglj|(ious defeats last year was converted into a fast fighting quint which continually informed its opponents of its presence. Xo small factor in the spirit of the team was the support which the club had from the galleries. Guil ford has really been alive during the past season and Cheer-leader Car roll and his able assistants, Yow and Cameron, have been equalled only by the noise coming from the east end of the gym. A team which would not play under such conditions ought to be and would be made to surren der their togs to the high school quint. So passeth the Basket Ball season 1917! Let's at the base ball nines who are about to journey this way pretty soon. The same old pep and same old fight with the material on hand will tell some tales which even the rooters of "Legs" Shore's day will awake to hear. CHAS. E. TEBBETTS LECTURES. (Continued from first page) employment growing out of the rail road system, vast iron and coal in dustries, the high cost of living, and the congestion of population—all these conditions threaten to under mine the stability of our national existence. Again, there are conflicting world interests—nations crowd each other in the effort to win the foremost place in world trade. The balance of power is lost, and every nation encroaches upon the rights of every other in quest of their "place in the sun." Furthermore, as a direct result of modern arts and inventions all na tions are now neighbors, and upon the streets of any large city one may see representatives of every na tion on the face of the earth. There are 110 longer any physical barriers between nations —distance has been done away with, and the whole world has recently been discovered. This proximity has lead to a feeling of bitterness and hatred among races— a condition always fatal to civiliza tion. What then can be done when the foundations of life itself are hanging in the balance? The one, and only solution is Christianity. A heathen statesman recently remarked: "There is no longer any hope of good will either between men or be tween nations, save thru the religion of Jesus Christ." Surely there can be no harmony, peace and good will until all m.->n call each other "brother." The cc r ollary of the Fatherhood of God is tlie Brotherhood of Man, and in or der that men may be as brothers, the Father must first be made known to them. We as a nation are now in a posi tion little to be envied, and no man can say how soon we too may be plunged into the vortex of strife, un less relief is quickly forthcoming. Since the religion of Christ is the sole hope of the sorrowing world the subject of missions is no longer sim ply a question of benevolence—it in volves the salvation of mankind. It may be that the Great Teacher look ed down thru the centuries and fore saw present conditions, when he bade His disciples to "go therefore and teach all nations." God is sure ly working His purpose out, for there are no longer any barriers to the carrying of the Gospel message, and nations are clamoring for it. The church then must awake to a vision of her opportunity. Christ charges her to go speedily and carry the good news. College men and women need also to catch a vision of a world redeemed, and to stand be hind tiie forces of righteousness with the same spirit of sacrificial conse cration which calls the men of Eu rope to the battlefields today.

THE GUILFORDIAN PROFESSOR COBB LECTURES. (Continued from first page) side of a thousand miles up the Nile above Khartoum, phrases and words which were current in the English of Queen Elizabeth's time, folk tales from the classic Greek and the Arab ian, many of which can be traced back to some settler who brought them with him and left them as a heritage to his descendants. From the study of the people on these sand stretches Professor Cobb passed to a discussion of the geologic formation of the dunes. The sand is not derived from the local rock but was evidently scoured off of the rocks of the New England coast by the great ice sheet during the glacial period and it has gradually been driven south along the coast by the waves. The waves during storms drive the sand far in shore at high tide and then when it has dried the vind takes it up and blows it into little sand hills or dunes. These may 3tart to form about any obstructions and grow to large proportions. Growing dunes may be serious but much more serious is a "sand wave" which moves much as a tidal wave across a stretch of country. These waves are frequently ten or twelve feet high and advance a few rods sacli year killing everything as they pass. After they have passed fre quently several feet of the soil is taken up with the sand so that the roots of the trees are exposed and in snme cases cemeteries exhumed. Preventive action which Professor Cobb suggests comprises first fenc ing the shore with barbed wire to keep off the cattle, wild ponies and the hogs so that the dunes may grass over and withstand the action of the wind; then by building breakwaters :nd fences to prevent the drifting of the sand it is possible to build a shore line out into the ocean and en tirely obviate the danger of forma tion of a sand wave. Professor Cobb enlivened his dis course by many bits of narrative from his own experience thus mak ing a subject which sounded dry and unstable most interesting and admir ably exemplifying the fact, which too many people do not realize, that scientific subjects can be absorbing ly interesting, ZATASIAN NOTES WASHINGTON VS. LCTHER. On Friday evening, March 2, the program was devoted mainly to Washington and his work. It was arranged for Feb. 22, but no meet ing was held on that date. Quite a number of interesting details were brought out concerning the life and work of the great statesman. The affirmative side of the ques tion, Resolved, That Washington was a more admirable character than Martin Luther was upheld by Eula Hocket and Ethel Lindley, the nega tive by Vera Meßane and Elizabeth Robbins. Most of the speakers had their speeches memorized and deliv ered them in a forceful manner, but there is still room for a more zealous spirit. Vanner Neece gave an inter esting sketch of Washington's work. Following this Teresa Goldo played very effectively Serenade by C. Chaminade. Lillie Williamson gave a helpful critic's report and also read the secret critic's report, which was on the table. The Store tor Mother and the Girls. "MERCHANDISE OF QUALITY" THE PATTERSON CO.
