THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VI
GUILFORD LOSES TO
HEAVY STATE TFAM
Guilford College lost the second
game of the season to North Caro
lina State College, on Saturday,
September 27, at West Raleigh, by
a score of 80 to 0. It was well
known that Guilford had little
chance against the State College
squad, twenty-two out of the
squad of seventy-live being better
men. But rather than cancel
scheduled game, the Guilford eleven
piayed a defensive game against a
team above its class. The State
College men outweighed the Guil
ford men by thirty pounds per man.
The big troop of huskies flocking
out on the field must have been a
discouraging spectacle to the fifteen
Guilford light weights, but their
supplication seem to have been
heeded for they brought back a
short casualty list.

There is no one at Guilford who
feels discouraged on account of the
walk over by A. & E. In the game
it was clearly seen that a successful
team must have weight. There are
boys at Guilford who have sufficient
weight to play foot ball, who have
never had a "concern." to venture
out 011 the athletic field except as
spectators.
Guilford has such a reputation
for base ball that base ball players
from high schools are glad to come
to Guilford. Yet this base ball rep
utation has not always been, it was
built up year by year. And now
only persistent work will build up
a foot ball reputation. In this task
every one at Guilford College, from
the "rough house squad" to those
who follow the more pious'walks of
life, has a part to play. Many boys
have the idea that if they can not
make the varsity eleven they have
nothing to play for, and refuse to
go out ifi uniform. The scrub team
is just as important as the varsity
and it should be considered an hon
or to be a member of that team.
The most popular yell of the col
lege should be "Get in yer togs and
hit 'em hard."
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C„ OCTOBER I, 1919
GUILFORD SECONDS
DOWNED BY LEXINGTON
"They met, they saw, but they
were conquered." (With apologies
to Miss Louise) is to paraphrase an
ancient warrior's message a brief
way of describing the tussle be
tween the Guilford second team
and Lexington Athletic Association
Saturday afternoon.
The Lexington team started the
scoring in the first quarter through
a series of line plunges and end
runs. Don and Zeb Walser, two
former Guilford 'Varsity men doing
the heaviest part of the work. Wal
ser failed to negotiate the kick.
In the second quarter Guilford
somewhat strengthened their offen
sive and gained considerable ground
on the Lexington boys, but on ac
count of fumbles failed to score.
The third and fourth quarters
were more unlucky for the Quaker
lads. Each quarter bringing Don
Walter's boys a touchdown and suc
cessful goal kick.
The most spectacular play of the
game was the pass by which Lex
ington made their last touchdown.
Walser making a long underhird
throw through the goal post.
Line up for Guilford follows:
L. E., Gilbreath.
L. J. Hayworth.
C., Johnson.
R. G., Beason.
• R. T., Andrews.

PROFESSOR MILLS
LEADS V. M. C. A
The regular weekly meeting of the
Y. M. C. A. was led by Prof. Mark
C. Mills
The speaker said that there were
certain changes in our life in com
ing to college Each year is a turn
ing point in our lives. These crisis
come to us all during our life. We
must decide one way or the other.
Sometimes we decide we will do bet
ter and keep putting it off. If we
expect to make a change in our
lives we must act now. Our atti
tude comes as a result of little acts.
Our good resolutions to get an ed
ucation are useless we nail them
down. Put your good resolutions
into effect now. Life is a trust given
to us and we should have a desire
to leave the world better. Certain
ly in no worse condition. We have
a desire to be immortal, and to
some extent we will be immortal for
we are products of men who have
gone before. We are the mediums
that make the influence of the past
possible. Our influence will pass
on to future generations. Every
good deed we do will bo passed 011.
The only way to build character is
by doing good deeds every day.
Character building is a slow pro
cess, but if we are honest, sincere,
and use our time to the best ad
vantage there will be a growth.

PHILOMATHEANS DISCUSS
PRESENT DAY PROBLEMS.
The Philomatheans held then
regular meeting on Friday evening,
September 26. A 'ery instructive
program was rendered. The theme
being "A Look at the World To
lay." Miss Katherine Harmon gave
the society a clear insight into the
league of nations, telling what it is
and how it is being worked out.
fiss Harmon in a forceful way gave
the attitude of the other world pow
ars in regard to the league—and the
stand the United States is taking.
The second number was given by
Miss Ruth Oultand who discussed
the race problem. Miss Oultand
stated that many of the negroes,
who fought in the war, have come
home with new ideals and princi
ples and consequently they are de
manding new rights.
"Labor versus Capital," was given
by Miss Frawees McCracken in a
very interesting way. Miss Mc-
Cracken discussed the position of
the employee and the employers,
the cause of strikes and how the la
borer and capitalist may become,
through co-operation, co-workers in
one common brotherhood.
The fourth number " Wise and
Other-Wise," was given by Miss
Nell Goldston.
Miss Grace Stone ended the pro
gram with an instrumental solo.
Miss Myrtle Cox was elected
treasurer for the coming year. The

Williams, Meta Nelson, Janie At
kins, Isla Tompson, Helen Bostick

good critics report society adjourn
ed.
NEW GARDEN A
SCENE OF MERRIMENT
Saturday evening, a majority of
the Guilford students found them
selves within the brilliantly lighted
dining room and parlors of New
Garden Hall. Anticipation was
planly written on every face for the
first social of the new school year.
Although the first few minutes
were spent in embarrassment with
the girls in one bunch and the
young men in another, this situation
soon gave place to one with quite
the opposite characteristics. In the
dining hall where a collection of
chairs had been placed, the jolly
crowd became engrossed in the
trials and hardships of a journey to
Jerusalem. This soon being com
pleted, several persons found that
they could imitate a cat in such a
manner as to cause the entire crowd
to burst into peals of laughter.
Some desiring less hilarious amuse
ment, chose Rook. Still others pre
ferred to sit in seclude.i corners
and quietly observe the festivities.
But as Father Time was still on
duty, David White advised parting
at ten o'clock. And it was with
smiling face and light heart that
each individual took his homeward
route.
ZATASIANS ENJOY
MUSICAL PROGRAM
The Zatasian Literary Sociey held
its regular meeting on last Friday
evening, September 26. The first
number on the program was The
History of the Star-Spangled Ban
ner, by Miss Martin. Then followed
a well rendered quartette by Misses
Neece, V. Mcßane, Williams and
Robertson. Miss Lindley next gave
an interesting paper on the secret
of the Success of Beerlioz. The last
number on the program was a uni
que musical contest planned by
Miss Robertson.
The Society was indeed glad to
hear from two of the former mem
bers, Misses Julia Dixon and Gratice
Kellam, and to receive as members
of the Society Misses Irma Harri
son, \ era Cooper, Aline Johnson,
Johnnie Belle Grant, Flora Burrus,
Sal lie Perkins, Mary Daniels and
Alta Jessup.
NEW ORDER IN CHAPEL
As is mentioned elsewhere in this
issue there has been a change in
the time worn scheme of seating in
chapel. The Seniors have been pro
moted to the seats of honor in front
of the platform and the Juniors
and Sop hm ores in turn behind
them. The Freshmen and prepara
tory students occupy the outside
rows. This brings the student body
up into a very solid phalanx and
should improve the singing mater
ially. At the close of chapel the
students walk out two by two, the
underclassmen waiting until the
classes above have withdrawn. The
result is much greater dignity in
emptying the building, and obviates
the jams that have heretofore
formed in the aisles.
