THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VII
Guilford Eleven
Defeated by
Methodists
Two cf Trinity's Touchdowns
Made in First Ten
Minutes of Play.
Murry White Plows
Line at Will.
Saturday, October 16, Guilford
suffered her first defeat of the season
at the hands of Trinity College on
Irinity's field. The game was not an
exhibition of brilliant football. The
Methodists played with more real
football spirit than the Quaker ele
ven. The Quakers failed to show the
snap and drive which they displayed
in their two previous games. Costly
fumbles were made thoughout the
game. Two of them in the first quar
ter paved the way for Trinity's first
two touchdowns. Murry White was
the outstanding star for the Guilford
team. The big halfback plowed Trin
ity's line almost at will, without
strain or fatigue. The greater part
of Guilford's gains were made by
him. C. Newlin at right, and E. Mc-
Bane at left tackle played aggressive
ball. For Trinity Crute was the out
standing star.
The game began with Guilford re
ceiving. C. Shore received the ball
from kick off, and advanced it to
Guilford's forty-five yard line. Guil
ford failing to make downs, punted
to Trinity. The Methodists were soon
forced to punt. This time R. Tremain
fumbled the ball on the first play.
Trinity recovered the ball, and by
long end runs carried it nearly to
the goal line. Guilford's defensive
stiffened, but not enough to prevent
Trinity from rushing the ball across
the line. Hall kicked goal. Guilford
chose to receive. C. Shore in receiv
ing the punt fumbled, Stout recov
ered the ball and advanced it to forty
yard line. On the first play G. Mc-
Bane fumbled. Trinity recovered ball
and repeated her former maneuvers
to the goal line. Hall again kicked
goal. Guilford again received. The
second quarter began with the ball
in Guilford's possession about the
middle of the field. Guilford began
to tighten up her defensive, and dur
ing the entire period the ball shifted

"ALMOST A HUSBAND" GIVEN
BY COLLEGE MOVIE
The first show in the series of
Moving Pictures to be given at the
college during the school year, was
given Saturday evening October six
teenth. There were seven reels and
they were good and quite interesting.
The first one was a lesson in Phys
ics, on Wireless Telegrahy, the sec
ond was a study of animals, and the
subject of the remaining five was,
"Almost a Husband," a high type
show, true to life. This was the
try-out of the new moving picture
jnachine, which is to add to the en
tertainments given at the college.
This will also be a means of drawing
the college and community closer
together as was shown by the large
audience Saturday evening.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 20, 1920
MEETING OF COLLEGE
TRUSTEES.
Endowment Increased. Officers
Elected. Tablet in honor
of Jeremiah S. Cox
At a meeting of a board of trus
tees of Guilford College held Friday,
October 15th in the President's office
constructive plans were made for the
year, and formal notice was given of
endowments that will be of interest
.o Gu'.lfordians. Mrs. J. J. Cox of
High Point has given $3OOO to start
a memorial endowment fund for Jo
seph J. Cox. The income of this
fund is to be used for the maintain
ance of the Biblical department at
the college.
The Joanthan E. Cox memorial
fund was increased by the gift of
S2OOO from his son, J. Elwood Cox,
president of the board of trustees.
Rev. Elwood Cox, of Marston, gave
SIOOO to the endowment fund, the
income of which is to be used to as
sist members of the Friends church
who are studying with a view of en
tering into the ministry or mission
work.
At this meeting the chairman gave
his annual report concerning invest
ment of all the permanent funds of
the college. A committee consisting
of J. Elwood Cox, J. S. Cox, H. A.
White, W. E. Blair and David
White was appointed to thoroughly
consider the financial policy for the
coming year. The officers for the
year are, J. Elwood Cox, Chairman,
and David White, Secretary.
One action of the trustees, which
will call for only a small expenditure
of money, and yet mean much to
the students of Guilford, was the
order for placing a suitable tablet in
Cox Hall, in honor of the man who
has done so much for Guilford Col
lege, Jeremiah S. Cox. This dormi
tory, which he furnished money to
build, is the best equipped dormitory
in North Carolina, and one of the
best in the South. A few students
have been to Guilford, and have gone
out from Guilford, without knowing
how Cox Hall cahe to be a part of
Guilford's splendid equipment. The
tablet will stand as a reminder to
both students and visitors, of one of
Guilford's greatest benefactors.
SECOND NUMBER OF LYCEUM
COMING.
Tchaikowsky Quartette.
The second number of the Col
lege Lyceum course will be given
at the college Friday evening, October
22 at eight o'clock, when the Tschai
kowsky quartet will render a pro
gram of unusual attractiveness. The
quartet which is composed of two
violinists, A celoist and a pianist,
is known as one of the best of the
country. Each member of the quar
tet is a musician of unusual ability,
and an ardent student of the great
master.
In addition to the music there
will be included a splendid dramatic
interpreter, who during intermissions
will present interesting dramatic
sketches. This program will be well
worth attending.
YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION GIVE
PAGEANT
The Event a Marked Success
The pageant, given by the Y. W.
C. A. in Memorial Hall, Thursday
evening Oct. 14th, was an event of
considerable enjoyment and inspira
tion to both college students and
community people. The Y. M. C. A.
in appreciation of the invitation to
attend, concluded it's regular meeting
attend, its regular meeting and prac
tically every member was present.
Scene 1., consisted mainly of an
introduction of the principal charac
ters. Ruth Reynolds as "Every Girl,''
in search of joy, happiness, and
a chance to do something worth
while, is met by "Health," represent
ed by Hope Motley; "Beauty," Ja
mesina Ellington; and "Dreams" by
Clara Henly. These with the "Guide"
in the personage of Madge Coble give
to "Every Girl" the advice neces
sary to start her for the things
which she is longing.
Scene 11., In which "Every Girl"
is introduced and invited to become
a member of "Every Girl's Club."
Scene 111. The Club demonstrates
it's spirit of liveliness to "Every
Girl," by having its members per
form in a short dance. Then the
members each with a lighted can
dle from a semi-circle on the stage
and accept "Every Girl" mem
bership in the club. She, in turn
lights her candle from the one held
by the head of the organization.
The following scenes show "Every
Girl" entering into the different ac
tivities of the club, where she finds
Ihe real life for which she is wishing.
The most impressive of these scenes
was the camp fire scene. The mem
i ers sat around the smoking camp
fire and sang the songs of camp
iife. Later the fire dies away and
the oldest one of the club represent
ed by Myrtle Cox, tells them an
impressive story of Christian life.
The closing scene was one of the
most attractive of all. In this every
girl was given a chance to share her
happiness with little children. Six
small children who live on the cam
pus, Emily Virginia Levering, Emily
Brown, Lucy and Martha Gray
White, Richard and Anna Naorm
Binford, played this part exception
ally well.
The Y. W. C. A. is to be com
mended for the splendid way in
which it rendered this appropriate
Pageant. The costumes and beautifu[
scene effects added greatly in mak
ing the program more impressive.
The accompanist, Miss Lloyd Mer
r mon performed in a very creditable
manner.

Hon. A. L. Brooks
Discusses League
of Nations
Speaker praises Democratic Board
in North Carolina.
On Friday night, one of Greens
boro's best men and one of the state's
ablest lawyers, Hon. Brooks, delivered
an address in the College aud
itorium. Mr. Brooks was a candidate
in the recent North Carolina primary
for nomination for United States
Senator.
Although this was the night sched
uled for the discussion between the
two representative party clubs, both
parties agreed to give that time to
this prominent Democratic speaker
who could give a bettter discussion
than would have been possible for
either of the clubs to have given.
Mr. Brooks, after a few introduc
tory remarks launched forth into a
presentation of the Democratic record
in North Carolina. He pointed out
the upbuilding influence of the wo
man vote and urged every woman
within the age limit to register and
vote. "The average woman has a
higher conception of morals than the
average man and with this higher
influence exercising the ballot, poli
tics will be raised to a higher plane."
Discussing the stand taken by the
United States before and after she
had entered the world war, Mr.
Brooks showed clearly that her only
motive has been to insure peace, or
as Mr. Wilson has so ably expressed
it "make the world safe for democ
racy."
The League of Nations, he said,
was the only thing that would insure
the peace for which so many had
sacrificed their lives. Article X, over
which there has been so much contro
vesry is in his estimation far from
the scarecrow that the Republicans
try to make it. He speaks of the
League Council as a "debating soci
ety," and people need have no fear
of being "hoodwinked" into some
thing altogether incurable, by the
council or by Article Ten.
TENNIS SCHEDULE ARRANGED.

Deen shown in the course of the
