EDITORIAL
THE QUITTER.
History furnishes many examples
of the man who fights his battle
for what is in sight for him. He
does not invest money unless he
can see every dollar coming back
with one hundred per cent interest.
Such a man is not willing to invest
money, or time, in such paying
propositions as good roads, good
schools and good churches, because
he sees no immediate returns coming
back into his own pocket. He seems
to fear that some other man is
getting more of the benefits of this
common effort than he is.
A college, made up of young
men and women from many different
communities, wifh all its different
organizations and activities, is a com
munity in every sense. It usually
has every type of individuals that
any other community has. It has the
students who invest freely in those
things which they know will pay
dividends, though not immediately;
and it has the student who reaches
only for that which is directly in
front of him. These two types of
students are shown more clearly on
the athletic field than in any other
picture gallery of a college. There
is the fellow who has all the ap
pearance of a man, who begins prac
tice with his eye fastened on the
college "letter"' which a successful
season an the varsity team will give
him the honor of wearing. He is
willing to attend practice every day,
swell himself up to his fullest, and
do other things to make the coach
and the stu.lents think that he is a
true toiler of the gridiron, and yet
behind the curtain, away from pub
lic gaze, he smokes his cigarettes
and indulges in other light dissipa
tions which his gang akes part in.
Then when the seasou opens up and
he "retains his position among the
scrubs he turns in his suit because
he fails to see the chances that
he might have the next year, and
•the foundation that a year's pi-ac
tice gives him. There is also a
class of boys who really train and
lose the coveted position on the var
sity only because there is some one
better trained, who has had more
experience, who fills the place. One
of the best football players that
Guilford has had during the past
years began, practice without a
ghost of a chance of winning a letter
in sight. Some of the men on the
field now, who were laughed at
last year are pressing by some of
those who laughed at them.
The fellow who has that which
goes to make a man never gets dis
couraged because he sees no divi
dends coming back directly to him.
The Methodists seem to
sprinkled the Quakers with the wine
of defeat before the spirit moved the
latter to play real foot ball.
In this issue the "Guilford Ghost"
is beginning a series of communi
cations. This one, however, is an
expression of sympathy for those
who have conscientious objections to
subjecting themselves to the power
ful influence of the rising sun.
Some students praised the first
movie show, while others expressed
their disapproval in various literary
phases. The originators of this ad
dition to our college life should not
feel discouraged for that is only
handing down an ancient school cus
tom.
PROF. H. N. BAKER ENTERTAINS
FOOTBALL MEN.
On last Friday night Professor H.
N. Baker and his table entex-tain
ed at supper, their representative
on the foot ball squad, Everette Mc-
Bine, and the captain of the team,
Algie Newlin.
The supper was given as a slight
token of appreciation of what the
players had done for Lynchburg, and
with the hope that a jolly "send off"
would help them to make Trinity
follow in Lynchburg's foot-steps. The
College colors, crimson and grey,
were caried out in the flowers,
lamps shades and in the tiny books
in which each guest wrote a wish
and presented to the two foot ball
men.
The fact that it was a "football
supper" was emphasized by the foot
falls on the place cards, and the
unique centerpiece, a miniature foot
ball field on which were 22 toy foot
ball players, representing two teams
just ready for the kick off. The menu
which was well suited for football
men in both quantity and quality,
consisted of: steak, brown gravy, rice,
apple sauce, pineapple and tomato
sandwiches, fruit salad, fig newtons,
cocoa, hot biscuit and butter.

BUSINESS MANAGER HAS COAL
SUPPLY READY FOR USE.
Whatever coal shortage may
be during the coming winter Guil
ford College will not feel the affects
of it. Mr. Farlowe, the College
Business Manager, purchased the en
tire winter supply during the past
summer. The greater part of this
supply has already been heaped
about the coal bin near the College
power house. About ijixteen car
loads of coal are now on the college
grounds, with only one or two more
car loads to be delivered. By plac
ing the order for coal in the early
part of the summer, Mr. Farlowe
was able to buy it for about one
half the present price. This means
a saving of several hundred dollars
for the college.
