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.

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. The University of California has, to date, a registration for 1920 of 9,444 students—so.3 per cent being men and 49.7 women. Their •nrollment in the correspondence courses of the university numbers 42,000. —Intercollegiate Exchange. Brown—"What's old Jones doing now?"

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.
