Guilford Ties Score with Roanoke
in Initial Game of Season
High Point, N. C.. Oct. 2.—Guil
ford opened her foot ball season here
today when Captain Newlin's squad
of warriors met Roanoke's eleven in
as clean and fast a struggle as usual
ly develops on the gridiron; the plays
averaging a little less than two a
minute throughout the entire four pe
riods.
The first score came early in the
second quarter when Guilford opening
with a fierce offensive succeeded in
driving the pigskin over Roanoke's
goal line in a series of terrific line
plunges. Stout kicked goal.
Roanoke evened the score in the
last five minutes of play when as a
result of a penalty to Guilford, two
end runs, and a trick play on Guil
ford's five-yard line, they were able
to maneuver the ball over the final
ditch.
During the first and third quarters
the ball played up and down the
field, neither team being able to se
cure a deceided advantage. Both
teams relied chiefly upon old-fa
shioned foot ball, straight through
the line, to gain ground. For Guilford
Cox and E. Mcßane played stellar
ball, breaking through Roanoke's in
terference and throwing hei> for re
peated losses. To Raiford goes the
honor of carrying the ball for Guil
ford's only touchdown. Ballentine at
fullback and Neice at tackle proved
most efftcin e for Roanoke.

Ist Quarter. —Roanoke won toss
and chose to defend south goal.

line. Roanoke advances ball to 40-

GUILFORI) COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 6, 1920
GIRLS' STUDENT GOVERNMENT
A Splendid Organization with Good
Support
The Girls' Student Government As
sociation has taken on new life this
fall and has become a very strong
organization. The president is work
ing hard to make the Association a
great success, and all the old girls
are cooperating with her. They ap
pear to have realized that Faculty
government belongs to a boarding
school and that Guilford College has
no place for such ruling.
The officers for this year are:
President, Myrtle Cox;
Secretary, Ruth Outland;
Treasurer, Ruth Reynolds.
Each class elects two members of
Students' Council, one of the mem
bers is from Founders Hall and the
other one is from New Garden Hall.
The House Presidents are: for New
Garden, Madge Coble; for Founders,
Tom Stewart.
The Student Government Associa
tion is not among the oldest organi
zations at the college, for it was not
organized until the fall of 1916. It
had good leaders then, and since that
time many strong girls have worked
to make it a success. Among these we
find Mary J. Shamburger, Deboi-ah
Brown, Gertrude Cronk, Ellen Rai
ford, Ruth Coltrane, Eula Hockett,
Katherine Smith, Genevieve Lindley
and Vanner Neece.
But like all other organizations in
some places it failed. Possibly one
cause for these mistakes was the dif
ferent rulings in the two dormitories
However, this fall the Student Gov
ernment Association is working as
one unit. The old girls are its strong
est supporters, and the new girls are
liking it also. It has declared to ev
ery girl the same rights and the same
privileges except to the upper class
men. Judging from the reports con
cerning it, it expects to play an im
portant part in the lives of thegii'ls.
POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS
Both Parties Make Plans for Lectures
The two political parties at Guil
ford are beginning to warm up for
the political conflict which will end
the first of November. The present
plans will give a mild send off for
the two parties. At a recent joint
meeting of Democratic and Republi
can representatives a series of dis
cussions were arranged for. This
schedule includes three joint discus
sions to be held on Friday night after
Society meeting. At the first meeting
national candidates and national is
sues will be discussed by speakers
from both parties. At the second
meeting state candidates and state
issues, and at the third meeting coun
ty candidates and issues will be dis
cussed. The time allotted to each
party will not exceed thirty minutes.
This is to be a political discussion
in the mildest form. It will not be of
the ordinary political nature, nor will
it be a series of debates. There seems
to be some speculation among some
of the stuents as to whether the poli
tical temperature can be kept so low
as this program seems to attempt to
confine it.
Initiation Meeting
Young Women's Christian Association
Introduce New Girls to the
Organization
Again the Y. W. C. A. says, "Wel
come." to the new girls and especially
to those who have joined its ranks.
Thursday evening last, the Y. W.
C. A. met in Memorial Hall for the
annual initiation services of the new
members. As each new member en
tered she was given a small candle.
Then while the old members sang, "O
Zion Haste Thy Higher Mission Ful
filling," the new members marched
down the aisle to the front where the
president was standing holding a
lai'ge lighted candle. As each marched
by she lighted her candle from the
large one. The lights in the hall were
out and there in the quiet candle
light the sister "Y's" sang, "I'll Go
Where You Want Me to Go." Imme
diately following the song each girl
was given a slip of paper upon which
was written the Y. W. C. A. purpose.
The president then welcomed the
new members as true members of the
organization with these words:
"Girls, just as you lighted your
candles from the larger one, so are
you going to light your lives from
the influences of the Y. W. C. A.
The sun is the light by day and the
moon is the light by night, but the
Y. W. C. A. is our light while away.
Our meeting may seem small but re
member that little -things lead to
greater things."
GUILFORD CLASS LAYS PLANS
FOR MEMORIAL
The class of 'l7, of Guilford Col
lege, in a reunion held during Yearly
Meeting, August 7, initiated the plan
of raising a memorial fund to be
named for Ezra A. Moore, a member
of the class who gave his life while
serving as a member of The Ameri
can Friends' Reconstruction Force in
France. This money is to be given to
the college to be used in connection
with the Biology Department, a line
of work in which Ezra was most in
terested.
The class adopted a letter of res
pect in memory of Ezra and voted
to have it copied on the minutes of
the meeting, to send a copy to the
family of the deceased and to have
it published in the Friends Messenger.
The reunion was a success in many
ways; the spirit of loyalty to Guil
ford predominated. Among the pleas
ant features was a picnic supper
served in New Garden Hall. This was
followed by the business meeting with
the election of officers. Rhesa L.
Newlin was elected president and Ruth
Coble secretary and treasurer. It was
decided to hold the next reunion in
August, 1924.
Among those who attended the
meeting were Misses Maude Lassiter,
Ethel Spear and Ruth Coble, and Ed
win Carroll, Jesse Stanley, Rhesa
Newlin and J. H. Beeson.
Those who say they will forgive
but can't forget an injury, simply
bury the hatchet, while they leave
the handle out ready for immediate
use.—Dwight L. Moody.
Lyceum Number
Much Enjoyed
Entertainment Meets All
Expectations
Members of the college and com
munity have been looking forward
with pleasure to the opening of the
College lyceum season. The first
number of the course given at Memo
rial Hall. Saturday evening. October
2, though of rather an unusual order
for Guilford, proved to be very enter
taining. It was such an introduction
as will heighten interest and appreci
ation of even better numbers to be
given in the near future.
J. DeJeu, the wizard, of Downer's
Grove, Illinois, one of the leading
sleight-of-hand performers, amazed
both young and old with his seeming
ly unbelievable accomplishments. The
program consisting of tricks, illusion,
mystery, fun and music, attracted
and held almost spellbound a large
audience.
Perhaps none could describe in a
more accurate or entertaining man
ner his numerous tricks with balls,
flags, handkerchiefs, bills, watches,
and numerous other articles, than the
admiring small boys nearest him.
How the magician did it all was the
mystery, and yet as he said: "It is
just so easy—if you know how."
Even the older and more dignified
members of the audience were inter
ested in his demonstrations of telep
athy, though still recalling his intro
ductory remark: "Perhaps you'll
know as much when you get home as
when you came."
Probably the best appreciated par*
of the program was the excellent pia
no-accordion music by
assisted by J. DeJeu with the tam
bourine.
The whole evening's performance
showed art and experience, and em
phasized the fact that skill in any
line of work or play requires untir
ing perseverance and practice.
LYNCHBURG NEXT
Coach Doak Drilling His Men
For Second Game
The Guilford foot ball squad is
passing through a strenuous signal
practice, preliminary to the second
game of the season. This game will
be staged on Hobbs Field, Saturday.
October 9, with Lynchbur-g College,
of Lynchburg, Va. Lynchburg defeat
ed Guilford last year thirteen to
nothing. This year Lynchburg has ,a
strong team. The home ground and.
support of the student body, however,
gives Guilford a slight advantage.
Coach "Bob" Doak will doubtless
use practically the same line-up
against Lynchburg as was used
against Roanoke. The backfield will
be greatly strengthened by the ap
pearance of "Boney" White, who was
out of the last game on account of
a wrenched knee.
STOCKS AND BONDS
Senior dignity "running" a few
points above the rating of last week.
Red-headed girls have dropped a
few points below par since last year.
