VOLUME V.
GUILFORD LOSES TO
ELON AND TRINITY
RUT THE TEAM NEVERTHELESS
SHOWS MUCH POSSIBILITY
OF DEVELOPMENT.
Oil Easter Monday in Greensboro
an interesting and well played game
was staged between Guilford and
Elon. A good sized crowd was pres
ent. The teams appeared pretty
evenly matched but Elon was able to
bunch its hits and won by a score o'
7—5. The Elon rooters were much
in evidence and a large proportion
of the college came over in a num
ber of big trucks to see the game.
Guilford got a run across in the first
inning on a hit by Barnard, a sacri
fice by Frazier and a hit by Lindley.
From then on, although there was
an occasional hit, the pitchers held
the upper hand until the ending of
the sixth when Elon put three across
with two hits and two Guilford er
rors. In the seventh Johnson, by
same daring steals, got around for
another Guilford tally. In the lat
ter half of the seventh Elon put four
across because of some Guilford
loose playing and two hits. The
thrill of the game was Guilford's
rally in the ninth. With two out
Lindley, Stout, Carroll and Kiser
pounded the ball brought in three
runs. Fox made some pretty stops
for Guilford while Elon's second did
the same. Guilford earned two runs
while Elon earned one. Not a single
man walked during the contest.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. 0., APRIL 30, 1919.
PHILOMATHEANS ARE
ENTERTAINED BY WEBS
The heart of every Philomathean
was made to rejoice when the invi
tation came from their brother
"Webs" to visit them at their regu
lar meeting last Friday evening.
At 8:00 P. M. when Founder's bell
announced the assembly Marshal
Stafford met the "Phils" at Foun
der's and gallantly directed them to
the elaborate home of the Webster
ians in the ivy-covered Y. M. C. A.
building. Each girl soon found her
self a proud possessor of a very at
tractive book-form program, with a
picture of Roosevelt on the front
page. On glancing thru the pro
gram it was found that it dealt
with the different phases of Roose
velt's life.
When all had assembled, Presi
dent Willard in a very dignified and
pleasing manner made each visitor
feel very happy and at home. Then
came the following interesting pro
gram :
I. "A Strenuous Life," H. M.
Patterson.
11. Debate: Resolved, that the
government of the United States
should adopt a policy requiring one
year of military training of all able
bodied men before they reach the
age of 21. Affirmative—R. A. Line
berry. Negative—J. D. Dorsett.
111. Vocal solo: Paul Trotter.
IV. Reading: "His American
ism," C. M. Macon.
V. Oyster Bay, 1925—David
White.
Each number of this program was
excellently rendered and to every
Philomathean it was truly an in
spiration to listen to it.
Much was learned concerning the
life, the interests, the patriotism,
the work and wonderful accomplish
ments of such a great American as
Theodore Roosevelt.
After the program came the
hurly-burly of getting into groups.
Each person was listed in some
groups named after some character
istic of "Teddy," as "Naturalist,"
"Rougli-Rider," "Statesman," "Au
thor," "Politician," etc. When all
had found their assigned places
there began a continual flow of hi
larity which lasted thru out the
evening. At times the mirth was
somewhat subdued when attention
was given to the different courses
of the following delicious menu:
Fruit Cocktail Cherries
Chicken Salad Pickles
Deviled Eggs
Cream Cake
Salted Almonds
Quite too soon sounded the hour
for departure and no Philomathean
could find suitable words to express
her appreciation for the hospitality
of the much admired "Webs."
The baseball team this week is on
its Southern trip. Tuesday and
Wednesday the University of South
Carolina will be played. Thursday
Camp Jackson. Friday, Furman and
Saturday* Belmont.

NEW YEAR OF Y. M. C. A. START
ED—RUTH COLTRANE RE
TIRES AND FRANCIS MONE
INSTALLED AS PRESI
DENT.
On Thursday evening a week ago,
the installation services of the Y. M.
C. A. were held. The services were
commenced by both old and new
calionets coming in as "Day is Dy
ing in the West," was softly played.
The calionet girls were dressed in
white and all of the old members
carried a white narcissus. The
chairs for these were arranged in a
circle around the table. Each chair
man reported the work done by her
committee during the past year, and
although the reports were very good
the calionet feels that only a very
small part has been done toward the
ideal which were cherished.
The treasurer reported approxi
mately two hundred dollars in the
treasury, all pledges having been'
paid. This year more money was ob- |
tained from the play, the bazaar and
systematics than in any previous
year. More has been given to mis
sions and besides this a goodly
amount was subscribed to the war
fund and other causes.
President Coltrane's report gave
a summary of the whole years work.
Each chairman was taken up and
her work summarized. She espe
cially urged all of the calioret and
as many others as possible to goto
Blue Ridge in June, stating how
much it would mean. She told of
some changes that needed to be
made, and some phases of the asso

SOPHOMORES ARE
DEFEATED BY FRESHMEN
LOWER CLASSMEN ARGUE RAIL
ROAD QUESTION IN FINE
FASHION.
Tha first inter-class debate of the
year was held in Memorial Hall on
Saturday evening. The representa
tives of the class of 1921 having
challenged the class of 1922. The
query was: Resolved that the Fed
eral government should own and op
erate the railroads in the United
States. Berry Lee White, Herman
Raeford and Edward Holliday advo
cated government ownership, while
Hugh White, Grady. Mcßaue and
Gladstone Hodgin for the Freshman
class defended the negative side of
the question.
The affirmative argued that gov
ernment ownership and operation
would be the most effective remedy
for the evils existing under private
ownership and operation; that gov
ernment ownership is practicable
and has produced a success where it
has been tried and that it would be
advisable for other reasons.
The negative advanced the argu
ment that the recent attempt of the
government to operate the railroads
of the United States has oeen unsuc
cessful; that government ownership
and operation has proven unsuccess
ful in foreign countries; that the
Federal government is inefficient in
the management of business enter
prises; that government ownership
and operation would open an unlim
ited field for political intrigue; that
the people of the United States are,
on the whole, opposed to it; that it
is unAmerican in principle; that pri
vate capital has been successful in
the past and that government regu
lation maintained through the med
ium of the inter state commerce
commission is the logical way of
meeting the situation.
The debate was a splendid present
tation of the question and the
speakers deserve much credit for the
strong argument produced and *also
for the effective and curteous man
ner in which it was advanced.
The judges, Mrs. Raymond Bin
ford, Mr. Edgar Farlow and Sam
uel Haworth, decided in favor of the
negative.
