THE GUILFORDIAN

GUILFORD GAINING
IN THE COUNTIES
Thirty-Two Represented in Enroll-
ment —Gain of Methodists.
Thirty-two counties of the Old
North State and six other states are
represented by the two hundred
and twenty-five students who have j,
registered up to the time of going
to press. This is an increase of
eight counties and fifty-five students
over the 1917 mark. Alamance, 1
Stokes, Davidson, Rockingham, Yad
kin and Buncombe counties all show
gains over both 1916 and 1917. 1
Guilford county is not back to the
high mark in 1916. Randolph Is
only "holding her own—lß in both j
1917 and 1919 against 24 in 1916
yet Trinity High School sent more!
graduates to this year's Freshman
class than any other high school ex
cept Guilford. With the further ex
pansion of Trinity we hope to find a
still larger group coming to us
from that county. Forsyth and
Chatham show normal gains over
1917 but like Guilford are not up
to the 1916 mark. The same is
true of Surry which shows the big
gest slump since 1916. Perquimons
has fallen back almost to the 1916
level following the exceptional
showing in 1917.*
All but about thirty of the stu
dents mentioned their church affili
ation. Ten of the latter specified
"none." The remaining one hun
dred and ninety-four are distributed
as follows:
1919 1917 1916
Friends 100 77 6S
Methodists 52 47 64
Baptist 18 10 11
Presbyterian 12 6 5
Christian 5 1
Lutheran 2 2 0
Moravian 2 1 2
Episcopalian 1 1 3 I
Others 2 1 0
Of ninety-three new students of
whom we have data thirty-four
have high school diplomas. Guilford
graded school sends five graduates;
Trinity liigh school, four; Jamestown
high school three, and Sylvan, High
falls and Archer (Fla.) each two.
The average age of fifty-three of
the new boys is 18.87 years, that of
thirty-seven of the new girls is 18.11
years. Three years ago the com
bined average of boys and girls was
18.1. As might be expected the
average age shows an increase on
account of the war.
The following is a summary by
counties showing variations since
1916:

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 8, 1919
THE AMPHION TRIO
GIVES VARIED PROGRAM
All Guilfordians and many friends
of ; the college assembled in Memo
rial Hall 011 Saturday evening, Octo
ber 4, for the firsi number of the
Lyceum course wh.cn was present
ed by the Ampliion Trio. Although
the crowd was anticipating some
thing line, the varied and excellent
program was beyond their fondest
hopes. The trio consisted of Mr.
Garekl S. Pell, tenor and water color
artist; Miss Anna Ellis, dramatic,
soprano, and Clifford A. Foote, bar
itone, reader, pianist and manager.
The first part of the program con
sisted of trios, duets, solos, charac
j ter songs and readings. The en
tertainment opened with, "Some
where a Voice is Calling." Other
numbers of ithe evening were "May,"
Miss Ellis and Mr. Pell; "Any Place
is Heaven If You Are Near Me," and
"Marjory Grey," Mr. Pell; an "Echo
Song" and "Fulfillment," Miss Ellis;
"The Yellow Violet," and "When the
Ships Come Sailing In," Miss Ellis
and Mr. Pell. Worthy of mention
was the contrast given by Messrs.
Pell and Foote between the songs j
that used to be sung around the
square piano, and those sung today j
around the upright one. "Whisper
ing Hope," was used as an illus
tration of the former and one of the
modern rags the latter.
The musical numbers were inter
spersed with humorous readings by
Mr. Foote. Among which were: j
"Taint No Use to Argue if Wifie
Says 'Tis So;" "Spring Fever," and
"House Cleaning." Mr. Foote's abil
ity in representing the hen pecked
husband, the down trodden wife,
the minister, the schoolmistress and
Little Johnny Jenkins kept the au
! dience in roars of laughter.
The second part of the program
1 consisted of three numbers. First
was a Spanish love song given by
Miss Ellis and Mr. Pell. This num
ber was made much more effective
Iby the splendid costuming. Next
Mr. Pell drew a water color sketch
jof a snow scene. By the rapidity
and accuracy with which he worked
one could judge that he was a skill
ful artist. The evening's entertain-
I ment was ended by an Indian scene.
Very tender and impressive was the
| story running through it. An In
dian squaw heard the voice of the
| chief in the distance. With ear
strained attentively she answered
! him with a hullaby. She could tell
by the sound of his voice that he
was approaching. Finally he arriv
ed and while they stood together
Mr. Foote read an Indian poem en
titled "Maccasins." The charm and
grace portrayed by Miss Ellis in
this scene showed that she had true
ability.
Guilford College is indeed fortu
nate in having the Lyceum course
given here this year, and it is hoped
that much benefit will be derived
from it.
QUAKERS HOLD WOFFORD
ELEVEN TO A TIE SCORE
On a hot dusty field and in
weather that was more suitable for!
baseball than football, Coach Doak's
eleven held the South Carolina
Methodists team to a 6-6 score at
Spartanburg Saturday. The Quak
ers had evidently gone through a
week oL' hard drilling since the game
with A. & E. last week because (
their team work as well as indivi
dual playing showed decided signs
of improvement.
Wofford's heavier line enabled I
them to make their one touch down
by the weight and push route. Guil- .
ford however outplayed them in the
finer points of the game, and in
broken field running. The most
spectacular plays of the game were
Pulliams 40 yard broken field run
through Wofford's line at the kick
off in the beginning of second halfy
and Barnard's 85 yard dash with
an intercepted forward pass for a
touch down.
The heat was so intense that
quarters were limited to eight and
ten minutes. Even with this limit
ed time both teams were consider
ably exhausted before the whistle
Anally blew for the finis.
The game by quarters follows:
Captain Barnard won the toss up and
elected, to defend the south goal.
Bony White received the first kick
off, slightly fumbled it but man
aged to recover and make consider
able gain down the field before be
ing stopped. Guilford then by an
end run and several line plunges,
make about twenty yards down the
field before finally losing the ball 011
an intercepted forward pass. Wof
ford failed to make the necessary
ten yards and kicked. Balance of
quarter continued in the same see
saw fashion. Neither side having
much advantage. One veteran look
er on was heard to remark that it
was as pretty an exhibition of of
fensive and defensive foot ball as ho
1 had seen in a long time.
In the second Guilford came back
with pep and spirit but failed to do
very much . The Methodists gained
.jome # little ground but lost most of
it through penalties for off side
plays.
In the beginning of the second
half Wofford kicked to Guilford.
Pulliam received it and made a good
35 yards on a broken field run.
Guilford here worked a forward
pass for another ten yards and then
lost the ball on another intercepted
one, by which Wofford netted 20
yards around Guilford's left end.
Guilford held them here though
and got the ball after Wofford made
a short punt. Guilford made some
gain but was penalized 5 yards for
off sides. Made seven by White's
line plunge and Dog Rice's end
run. Lost ball on downs. Wofford
now had the ball in Guilford's 40
yard line and here uncorked our
offensive which drove the pigskin
into the far left corner and finally

SCRUBS LOSt TO
WINSTON HIGH
Guilford scrubs lost a spirited,
but yet not brilliant or spectacular
game, to Winston high school eleven
Saturday, October 4. Tbe scrubs
seemed to have the high school
boys well under control during a
greater part of the first half
After winning the toss the scrubs
received the kick and advanced the
ball, chiefly by Mcßane's plunges,
to Winston's twenty yard line and
these lost the ball on a fumble
The Quaker scrubs started into
the second quarter with a dash
Johnson recovered the ball on Win-
ston's fumble. Two plunges by Mc-
Bane and Stout netted the scrubs a
gain of 2G yards and placed the ball
011 Winston's five yard line. Bulla
scored the touch down. Gilbreat,h
failed to kick goal. Winston ad-
vanced the ball from kick off to
Guilford's forty yard line. Davis
for Winston soon got away with a
long run around left end and car
ried the ball thirty yards to a touch
down. Winston failed at goal.
111 the second half Winston re
ceived, carried the ball to Guilford's
2 0 yard line, and there lost it on
downs due to the stiffened resist
ance of the scrub line. The scrubs
failed to make first down partially
because of a penalty. Winston car
ried the point to within one foot
of the goal line where he was stop
ped by Johnson just as the whistle
blew for the end of the third quar
ter.
Winston scored her second touch
down in the beginning of the third
quarter, but again failed at goal.
During the remainder of the quar
ter the ball passed from the posses
sion of one team to the other a
number of times on downs and
I'umbels, but it at no time threaten
ed either goal line.
Davis was Winston's most effec
tive man. In the scrub back field
Mcßane and Stout were most ef
fective, while Hayworth, B. Shore,
and Johnson in the line obsei-ve
mention.
Scrub line up: Farlowe, W., 1. e.;
"Ig" Williams, 1. t.; Johnson, capt.,
c.; Benson, r. g.; B. Shore, r. t.;
Oilbreath, r. e.; Bulla, q. b.; Stout,
1. b.; Dye, r. b.; O. Mcßane, f. b.
REST.
Rest is not quitting
The busy career;
Rest is the fitting
Of self to one's sphere.
"Tis the brook's motion.
Clear without strife;
Fleeting to ocean,
After its life.
i 'Tis loving and serving
The highest and best;
'Tis onward, unswerving,
And this is true rest.
Goethes.
