President Binford
Recovers From
His Illness
Soon to Return From the Hospital
Old students and intimate friends
of President Binford have known
for some time that he was not in
his usual excellent state of health,
but probably no one realized the se
riousness of his condition until it
was announced on Saturday, Octo
ber the thirteenth, that he had been
taken to St. Leo's Hospital for an
operation for appendicitis. The op
eration was successful and Dr. Bin
ford is recovering rather slowly,
but as well as could be expected
from the nature of his illness.
Both faculty and students have
tried to express their regret and
sympathy to Dr. Binford and his
family with words of sympathy and
by keeping his room filled with
flowers. As the work on the presi
dent's house is about completed, the
faculty and a majority of the stu
dents met immediately after lunch
last Saturday for the purpose of car
rying away lumber and building
material and leveling the yard about
the house. Every one present found
a genuine pleasure in the purpose of
the meeting and in the privilege of
working together and helped to ex
press the spirit of co-operation at
Guilford.
According to reports Dr. Binford
will soon be able to return to his
work in the college.
FOOT BALL SQUAD PREPARING
FOR HAMPDEN-SIDNEY
GAME.
During the past week Coach Doak
has kept his football chargers hard
at practice in preparation for the
game with Hampden-Sidney in Dan
ville on Nov. 13th. Due to injuries
to some of the players in the Wake
Forest game there have been a few
changes in the lineup. At present J.
C. Newlin, end, and White, the big
half back, are out of the game on
account of injuries and will proba
bly not get in the game. It is not def
initely known yet just what the line
up will be, but from the sidelines
it appears as if a machine will be
gotten together which will be capa
ble of showing Hampden-Sidney a
form worthy of notice. Raiford has
been playing end in the absence of
Newlin and Mcßane has taken the
place of Rollison on the other end,
Rollison having been shifted to the
backfield. Either of these men can
be relied upon to hold down an end
or a backfield place. In the line
Williams has been showing except
ional ability of late and will prob
ably be started in at guard or tackle.
The backfield will probably be
made up of the following,- captain
Newlin, Stout, Rollison, B. L. White
or Tremain.
"Self-denial means to make no pro
visions for the flesh to fulfil the lusts
thereof. It is keeping the body
under and bringing it into subjection
to the will of God."
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., NOVEMBER. 10, 1920
oung Men's Christian
Association Holds
Interesting Service
Marvin Shore led a very success
ful meeting last Thursday evening
on the subject of The "Practicabil
ity of Religion."
Religion, the speaker said, could
be practicable only when Christ be
came a reality and this could be
accomplished by a study of his
teachings.
The speaker went on to say that
each day there are sorrows that be
fall each of us, and in order to over
come those sorrows we must have
Christ with us. We must surrender
ourselves to him and do it now. Most
people want to be good but they
want to wait a little while, and keep
putting it off until sometime it will
be too late.
We must guard against the small
sins, or as time passes we will do
larger ones without thinking of it.
L 3n as an alarm clock fails to
arouse us in the morning if we fail
to respond to its summons at first so
.ii with our i conscience. If we do
not heed the slight warnings we, in
time will fail to heed the larger ones
and then go on deeper in crime.
After the speaker had finished
several other talks were made having
as their thought the topic of the
leader's speech.
The meeting was, from the point
of general participation, the most
successful that the Young Men's
Christian Association has held this
year.
Girls' Baseball Series Ends
Old- Girls .Defeat New Girls in a
Close and Thrilling Contest.
Last Thursday afternoon the old
girls defeated the new girls by the
score of Bto 10. This was the final
game out of three. Previous to this
final contest both teams were suc
cessful in winning one game' by a
hard fight. Through the series both
teams have shown excellent teamwork
The game began with the new
girls taking the field. During the
first innings neither side was able
to score because of the splendid
work in the field. Following this,
Poindexter, Hodges, Ward and Gar
ner, the new girls, scored five runs.
The old girls then came to the bat
and greeted the delivery of Hattie
Poindexter with a number of hits
which netted seven runs. Edna Rai
ford was very successful in batting
three home-runs during the game.
The remainder of the game was one
hard fight with the new girls in the
lead until the last half of the ninth
inning when the old girls succeeded
and gained the lead, and left the
final score 8 to 10.
This game was witnessed by the
entire student body 1 together with
many visitors. The new students
cheering for their players, and the
old students cheering for their play
ers. Much "pep" and enthusiasm was
manifest throughout the entire game.
The line up was as follows:
Old girls: E. Raiford, p; A. John

Y. W. C. A.--Marianna
White Leads
The message for the Y. W. C. A.
prayermeeting on November fourth
was found in the 13th chapter of
First Corinthians:
If one truly has the love of Christ
in his heart he will want to go about
ministering to the needs of his fel
lowmen; he will have a great desire
to gladden the heart of someone by
helpful deeds and kind words. The
college community is an ideal place
to show this love towards one's fel
low men. By greeting a student
with a kind word or a cheery smile,
the whole day may be brightened.
It makes no difference whether or
not you know that person; make him
glad by showing your interest in
him. He may be "blue and down
and out," but, oh! the change in the
whole outlook upon the world when
he knows that somebody at least is
glad he is alive. Then he knows
once more that life is worth living.
With the love of Christ in one's
heart it is easy to keep the heart
aglow with life. By means of this
love one is able to "fill the unfor
giving minute with sixty seconds'
worth of distance run;" he is able
to cast out of his heart all envy
and littleness. For "love envieth
not, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed
up, doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil." If every
one in the world were filled with the
love of Christ how peaceful people
could dwell together.
Besides the leader's talk several
other thoughts were given to the girls
from different members. Some of
them are:
"What you are, speaks so kind
that I can't hear what you say."
"It's not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
That leaves a hit of heartache,
At the setting of the sun."
Whenever the meeting is thrown
open in this way much good is de
rived and the bands of fellowship
in the association are strengthened.

Students Practice
For Citizenship
Election of College Shows Democrat
ic Majority.
On November 2, when the citizens
were deciding who should be our
officials in both State and National
affairs and what should be our pol
icies for the next four years, the
two political clubs of Guilford Col
lege decided to institute some means
by which the Faculty and students
of the College might express their
preference in regard to the officials
and policies of our State and Nation.
At a joint meeting of the committees
appointed by the respective clubs, it
was decided to follow the election
laws of the state, with a few modi
fications with regard to qualifica
tions and dates. The registration
books were opened Tuesday, Novem
ber 2, at 9:30 a. m. and were closed
at 1:30 p. m. No one who was not
a member of the Faculty or student
body at the term of registration was
allowed to register. Those who had
been duly registered became quali
fied voters, only, after they had paid
a poll tax of .02 each.
The polls were opened at 3:25 p.
m., and closed at 5:00 p. m. The
poll holders of the election were,
Mary Dixon, who represented the
Democratic Club, and Curtis Newlin,
who represented the Republican
Club.
The girls showed much enthusi
asm and interest in exercising the
rights granted them by the 19th Con
stitutional Amendment.
It will be noticed from the fol
lowing account of the results that
very little scratching was done, as
most of the voters preferred to vote
a straight ticket.
National ballot: Harding, Rep., 87,
Cox, Dem., 103; Debs, Soc., 1.
State ballot: Parker, Rep., 88;
Morrison,Dem., 102; Taylor, Soc., 1.
Chautauqua Attended by
Majority of Students
The Chautauqua given in the col
lege auditorium under the direction
of Mr. Dawson of New York City
was not the kind of entertainment
usually seen at Guilford College.
It was divided in five numbers;
one Thursday evening, two Friday,
one in the afternoon and one in the
evening; and two Saturday, one in
the afternoon and one in the even
ing. The auditorium was well fill
ed. especially Saturday evening.
The program consisted of the fol
lowing selections: "Italy, the Illus
trious;" "Belgium, the Brave;"
"Victorious Serbia;" and "Paris, the
Magnificent." Each of these num
bers was given as illustrated lect
ures. The slides included pictures
of the great churches, the noted
buildings and many street scenes of
the above mentioned countries.
Probably the most enjoyed was that
of Paris.
A series of art pictures was also
given showing some of the famous
paintings and statues of great artists.
This side was especially emphasized
during the lecture on Paris when
