VOLUME VII
ZATASIANS DELIGHT
THE WEBSTERIANS
EXCELLENT PROGRAM AND
ROYAL RECEPTION
One of the most successful enter
tainments of the fall was staged Fri
day night when the Zatasian Liter
ary Society acted as hostess to the
Websterian Society. Transported
from the realm of dry debate to the
atmosphere of an excel lent program
was the culmnaition of a week of
anxious expectation on the part of
every Websterian.
The program which was rendered
in Memorial Hall far surpassed any
witnessed by the Websterians 011
any such occasions. Its intrinsic
value, its noble character, and the
admirable way in which it was ren
dered gave every "guest" a thrill of
pleasure. It was a program render
ed by the talented Zatasians whose
untiring perseverance makes every
thing they undertake a success. It
was full of mirth, joy, patriotism and
love. Everyone was given a beauti
ful little program, a miniature ship
representing the Mayflower, 011 the
inside of which was written the pro
gram and menu. The following pro
gram was given;
I. Instrumental —Concert Waltz—
Virginia Osborne.
11. Pantomine—Courtship of Miles
Standish—Ten girls.
111. Vocal Solo—At the Sundown
—Marjorie Williams.
The second number recalled in a
very impressive way the courtship
of Miles Standish, the struggle of
the early colonists, their pleasures,
their joys, and their sorrows. In
scenes fitting to the occasion was
enacted in real life the vain attempts
of Miles Standish to win the hand
of the fair Priseilla.
After the rendition of this pro
gram ,couples journeyed to the par
lors at Founders, which were taste
fully decorated in autumn colors,
and here under the mellow lights
the following menu was served:
I.
Fowl of the Meadows
Something to Be Thankful for
Scarcity
Fruit of the Forest
11.
Delight of the Harvest
Time with Extravagance
111.
Brewed Favorite with Superfluity
This afforded much curiosity and
questioning, but 011 receiving the
dainties, curiosity fled and content
ment and appreciation reigned for,
"Fowl of the Meadows," was trans
formed into chicken salad and hot
rolls, "Delight of the harvest,,"
pumpkin pie with whipped cream,
"Brewed Favorite and Superfluity,"
coffee, mints and almonds.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., NOVEMBER 24, 1920
The Quaker Eleven
Last Game of the Season
Tom Cox the Star of the Game
In a close hard fought battle in
Cone Park, Greensboro, N. C., the
Guilford College foot ball eleven de
feated the Elon College aggregation
7 to 3. This is the second time in two
successive years that several hundred
Elon students and supporters have
abandoned hopes of after-game-cele
brations and returned to their rende
vouzwith broken hearts.
The Guilford team entered the
game greatly handicapped by the
loss of some of the best men 011 the
squad. Not one of the four men
who played back field against
Lynchburg College was in his regu
lar position until the last quarter.
Murray White, the big half back
who has played the line of almost
every team that Guilford has played
this year was out of the game an ac
count of injury received in practice.
J. C. Newlin who had done such
spectacular work in every game
until he was injured at Wake For
est was unable to get into the
game. Grady Mcßane, star of the
Roanoke and Lynchburg games, has
been unable to leave his room for
the past two weeks, and was unable
to attend the game. Jim Newlin, cap
tain of the team did not enter the
game until the last quarter due to
recent sickness. Raiford the regular
baekfield man was shifted to right
end. Tom Cox, injured in the first
game of the season had given up
hopes of playing any more this sea
son until he saw how badly handi
capped the team was. Without prelim
inary training and little signal prac
tice he threw himself into the game
and won for himself the admiration
of the hundreds of spectators, and
the distinction of being the individ
ual star of the game.
With these serious handicaps,
Coach Doak filled up the gap with
second string men and sent them
out against Coach Carboy's full
strength team with no thought of
losing.
The game began with Elon kicking
to Guilford. During the first period
neither side gained any decided ad
vantage. Elon failed to make a sin
gle first down, and Guilford only
one when B. L. White dashed around
Elon's left end for a twenty five
yard gain.
During the second quarter Elon
attempted a pass near the middle of
the field, but White, the speed king
of the day snatched the pig skin
from the air, raced around Elon's
right end, down the side line, only
a few feet from the throng of petri
fied or fainting supporters of the
Maroon and Gold, to the last of the
white lines, fifty-five yards from the
place of interception. Stout then
Triumph Over Elon
sent the ball squarely between the
goal post.
Guilford then kicked to Elon. It
was during this quarter that Perry in
a well-directed place kick sent the
ball between the posts for Elon's
three points of the game. After the
second quarter neither side was able
to score.
During the third quarter neither
side gained any decided advantage.
In the early part of the last quarter
Elon started her only aggressive
move of the game. The Guilford
line seemed to weaken for a period
and the ball was carried dangerously
near the Guilford goal line. Elon's
impatience kept her back. Penalties
for offsdies pushed the team hack.
Elon attempted a forward pass which
was incomplete and at the same time
another offsides sent her hack fur
ther from the goal of their hopes.
The hall was lost on downs. Zachary
and "Jim" Newlin entered the game
at this time. Raiford was shifted to
the regular position as full hack.
Guilford then started a steady prom
enade up the field and near the side
line packed with supporters of the
Crimson and Gray, toward Elon's
last white line. Only a few yards
from the goal line, after nearly sev
enty yards had been traversed in four
minutes play the timekeeper's whis
tle blew laps over the hopes of
Elon, and reveille to the victorious
shouts of the Guilfordians.
Tom Cox was the individual star
of the game. Though suffering from
lack of daily training, this tough
gridiron veteran tore through Elon's
line time after time, scattered the
interference and threw the hackfield
over for losses. E. Mcßane perfom
ed the same feat many times. These
two tackles were the main parts of
Guilford's defensive. B. L. White
was Guilford's main ground gainer.
Beside his fifty-five yard run with
an intercepted pass, he made several
long end runs. Nearly two thirds of
the ground gained by Guilford was
due to White's speed.
This game, is the last of the sea
son for Guilford. It is also the last
game in which Capt. "Jim" Newlin,
'"Buddie" Tremain, "Roxie" Tre
main, "Jew" Raiford and B. L.
White, will play for Guilford as
these five men are members of the
Senior class.
For Elon Johnson, Marletto and
Perry were the most aggressive play
ers. The amusing feature of the
game was the contrast between
Odom, Elon's big two hundred and
fity pound center, and his opponent,
Buddie Tremain, hut little more than

BACK HOME
DOCTOR HOBBS ILL FOR
MANY WEEKS
STUDENTS CELEBRATE
Ihe victory over El on was not
the only news that gladdened the
hearts of Guilford students last Sat
urday, for President Binford came
home from the hospital in Greens
boro and Doctor Hobbs landed in
New York. So the bonfire Satur
day night was an appropriate event
with which to close the day.
PRESIDENT BINBORD
President Binford has been away
from the college three weeks. He was
taken to St. Leo's hospital on the
evening of the Hallowe'en Social.
Few of the students knew about his
illness before Sunday morning after
the Social. He stood the operation
very well and his condition is much
better. His many friends, both out
side the college and those connected
directly with the Institution are glad
he is at home again and hope for
him a speedy recovery.
DOCTOR HOBBS
Doctor Hobbs sailed for London
early in August to attend the All
friends Peace Conference. The trip
across the ocean was very pleasant
and Dr. Hobbs landed in apparently
good health. However between
Southhampton and London he was
taken ill and carried to the home of
one of the English Friends, William
Allen Baker, a member of the Brit
ish Parliament, who was very kind
to him. from this home he was car
ried to the Nurse's Hospital in Lon
don near Westminister Abbey. Here
he underwent two operations quite
successfully, but did not recover as
fast as his friends had hoped he
would. Due to his illness he was
not able to attend any of the sessions
>f the Conference. His son, Dr.
Wilson Hobbs, a member of the fac
ulty of the North Carloina Universi
ty. sailed for London soon after Dr
Hobbs was taken ill. He remained
with him during the entire stay and
accompanied him home.
Jo its many blessings this week
for which the college is thankful, it
will have the privilege of adding
the lecovery of Dr. Binford and the
home-coming of Dr. Hobbs.
