THE GUILFORDIAN
OLUME VIII
GUILFORD DEFEATED
BY ROANOKE
Guilford opened her foot ball
■■ eason, —October, in Salem, Virginia,
when she met the Roanoke machine
on- its own territory.
The Guilford eleven was unable
to stop the Virginians who succeeded
o crossing the Quaker goal line for
a total of fourteen points. At the
t-ame time Roanoke managed to keep
the visitors from registering a
-ingle touch down.
During the entire first half the
• Ifensive work of both teams was
v.ithout results. And at the final
whistle the ball was in Roanoke's
possession, about midway of the
field. At this period of the game
the final results were not evident.
Although the Maroons had taken
the offensive from the start, indica
tions were, that they were wear
ing themselves away against a de
fense which they would be unable to
break.
During the entire game Guilford's
offensive work was good but thei
.tfensive was ineffectual in netting
consistent gains. Both teams were
forced to punt repeatedly and it was
'm this feature of the game the
Roanoke team had the greatest
edge. If Guilford had been able to
Irick with even moderate speed
and distance the Virginian's touch
downs would have been prevented.
The first score came early in the
fjrst quarter and was a surprise to
both Roanoke and Guilford. Neese,
Roanoke's star linesman broke
through the Guilford defense, block
ed a punt and after receiving the
-all carried it twenty-five yards for
fc touchdown.
The Quaker defense then stiffened,
at times showing considerable offen
sive powers and prevented further
scoring until the last twelve seconds
f play, when the Roanoke team, by
a series of forward passes worked
the ball across for the final touch -
clown.
Stevens, a Roanoke back, succeeded
;/• kicking both goals.
For Guilford "Babe Shore" and
Everett Mcßane in the line played
the strongest and again and again
they broke through Roanoke's offense
and blocked her advance.
So stubborn was the Guilford de
ft'rise, that attempts to make gains
through the line were practically
abandoned during the last half, Ro
anoke's only effective weapon be ;
rag the forward pass. It was by
repeated use of this method that the
final toucftdown was carried across.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
REORGANIZED
CLASSES MEET IN MEMORIAL
HALL. FACULTY HELPS.
In order to make the religious ac
tivities of the college more home
like and to give the students better
opportunities in Sunday-School work
the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. cabinets
with the help of the Faculty ad
visors have formulated a real
active Sunday School organization
composed of and directed by college
students. The. Presidents of the two
associations, Curtis Newlin and Ma
bel Ward, act interchangeably as su
perintendents while the secretary
of the Y. W. C. A., Helen Bostick
was elected as secretary of the Sun- !
day School.
In this organization the students '
are divided into seven classes, three !
for the boys and four for the girls.
The entire Sunday School will j
continue to meet for the regular |
chapel exercises and then go to their
various classes, all of which are
conducted in Memorial Hall, and
after the study of the lesson the
classes will again assemble in the
auditorium for the secretary's re
port and the closing exercises.
This is a great movement started
and it is one that we believe is
going to be valuable to the entire
student body as it will greatly
add interest to the Sunday morning
exercises and be a great improve
ment over the old methods of hav
ing Sunday School classes taught m
various private rooms of the dormi
tories.
However the success of the Sun
day School depends upon the students
of the college. You as a student
are interested in the welfare of the
college, so avail yourself of your
opportunities and go to Sunday
School every Sunday and help make
it a success.

GUILFORD COLLEGE. N. C., OCTOBER 3, 1921
FOUNDERS SENIORS
AE HOME
"KITCHEN SHOWER"
East parlor was indeed the scene
of much merriment on the night of [
Sept. 30 from eight-thirty until ten.
When the women of the faculty
and New Garden Seniors were ush
ered into the room it was easy at
once to imagine themselves in
some fairy's bower; for the effect
of the goldenrod worked a magical
charm upon all nerves. If magic
had not been in the atmosphere the
guests might have collapsed. For
as soon as they were seated at ta
bles what should the hostesses do
but inflict upon them the heavy and
burdensome task of exercising their
thinking apparatuses in solving the
answers of a difficult contest. Miss
Polk, having duly proved herself
to be worthy of the prize received
an attractive tea-apron.
At nine-thirty menu cards were
brought in with the announcement ■
that for once the guests might order
anything they desired. Great was
the joy of every one. for the menu
lead as ollows:
Specials for Friday
Eggs on toast
Blue points on Half-shell
Canvas-backed Duck
Pressed chicken
Peas Stringed Beans
Rolls
Date Gems
Green Tea.
When however; the orders were
filled keen disappointments and baf
fled hope were written on all
faces. The plates contained noth
ing whatever of any food value! Oh,
ro, it was not the cook's fault.
Eggs on toast became paper, can
vas.backed duck became cloth, string
ed beans were indeed strung two by
two upon real strings; peas became
paper letters and so forth until all
dreams of a banquet were dispersed.
Into the midst of this scene sud
denly there stepped a "dish-washer'"
straight from "Cupid" bearing in his
rms a tray filled with kitchen uten
•:ls V-'hen this messenger , from
Cupid, who proved to be Mr. Dann,
placed his treasures before the guest
of honor, it dawned upon Mrs. Dann
for the first time, that the surprise
party was given for her. While the
presents were being inspected and
censored as being all useful, the
guests were being served once more,
this time to a really true and ap
petizing course, consisting of tomato
and raisin sandwiches, fruit salad,
saltines. pickles, and real tea.
When ten o'clock came everyone
united in saying that the evening
had been one of the happiest events
of any college year.
A WORD TO THE WISE
Don't we all want to make a big
ger better Guilord, which will be
attractive to visitors? Then, have
you noticed that path which is be
ing made across the campus to
Memorial Hall? There is no reason
for it except that some of us are
in too much of a hurry to get the
mail after it comes and we wont
t*dce time to go on the walk. It
might be well to consider that if
we continue to "cut," it will take
longer for the grass to grow than
it would for us to go around. Prob
ably everybody has seen the many
paper bags and scraps of paper
lying around on the campus. I am
afraid that if the representative
of the state department of insurance
were to visit us again she would re
commend another clean-up day for
the whole campus. "A word to
I the wise is sufficient!"

labor-saving device with an easy
touch.
GUILFORD SECOND EEAM
LOSES TWO GAMES
Greensboro Highs Walk away With
Locals 34-6, Winston Game
Better Played.
The Greensboro high school foot
ball team defeated Guilford's csrub
team at Cone Park, 34 to 6, Sep
tember 30. Three of the Greensboro
touchdowns were cleanly earned,
after sweeping marches down the
field. Garland Daniel was the out
standing star of the game. He
carried the ball over the goal line
for the four of the five touchdowns
made by his team.
Greensboio's first three touch
downs were made by sweeping end
runs and terrible line plunges. The
fourth came when Paul Transou,
quarter, dodged and smashed his
way through a broken field thirty
five yards for the score, and the
final touchdown resulted from Dan
iel's pick-up of a fumble and his run
of ,fiifty yards.
Guilford's only score came after
"Shorty" Frazier intercepted an at
tempted forward pass and raced
sixty yards. At no other time did
the scrubs seriously threaten. So
strong was Greensboro's defense
that they registered only one first
down, and in general their attacks
were thrown back by the sterling
work of the high school line, which
on both defense and offense, played
gootl football.
Considering the fact that half of
the scrubs best players were in
Virginia with the Varsity, that none
of them had ever taken part in a
real game of football, and that
some of them had never seen a
.game they certa'nly made a credit
able showing against the strong high
school eleven, many of which have
had two years experience.
Daniel, Bell and Transou led the
Greensboro attack and were re
sponsible for most of the gains, with
a lot of assistance from the line.
Daniel showed power in line plung
ing and a burst of speed in his
cpen running.

Guilford scrubs suffered defeat in
a snappy game of football, October
1, in Winston-Salem by the Winston
high school eleven. The final score
was 7 to 6. The game was hard
fought throughout and a good exhi
bition of the Autumn pastime was
staged.
In the first period the high school
lads seemed to have the edge on their
opponents, who were heavier in
weight but less experienced. How
ever the end of the first half
this situation changed and the Guil
ford youngsters played most of the
time on their opponents territory.
The feature of this half was the
long run by "Shorty" Frazier, the
scrubs fleety half back, who inter
cepted an attempted forward pass
and raced 60 yards for a touchdown.
Guilford failed to kick goal. .
The third period was largely scrim
maging with honors about equally
divided. In the last period the high
FIRST SOCIAL HELD
A! NEW GARDEN
The students of Guilford ushered
in the month of October with the
first social of the year held at New
Garden Hall.
Numerous games were played and
there was much merriment for all.
"Wall flowers" were few and as
a consequence everybody helped
everybody else have a good time.
Every one entered into the spirit
of the occasion and none more than
the new students. Even Dr. Binford
and Miss Louise were both to leave
when the clock struck ten.
As the evening closed, a friendship
circle was formed and all joined ir.
singing familiar songs. Many new
acquaintances were made and the
wish of each was unanimous or an
other such social.
CHORAL SOCIETY BEGINS A
PROMISING YEAR
Officers Elected.
The Choral Society under the di
rection of Prof. James Wesley White
with Miss Byrd as accompanist has
held one meeting this year. At
that time the following officers were
elected:
President, Lyndon Williams; sec
retary, Lulu Raiford; marshall,
James Joyce; The large attendance
was indicative of great interest and
good work for this year. The socie
ty has presented some good pro
grams in the past few years and
expects to do quite as good work
again. During this semester the
society will prepare for the presen
tation of the opera "Faust."
A PRAYER FROM THE FIELD
God of the Game who rules our fate,
Or gives us each an outside chance
To break some day beyond the gate
That leads to glory or romance.
Who knows the pressure brought to
bear
On each lone soul beneath the sun,
Hear from the field our silent prayer
Before the final score is; spun:
Let us not look too much to fame
That flames at dawn to drop and
fade
Before the dusk settles on the game
Or twilight sends its haunting
shade,
Nor yet applause that takes each
soul
To heights where ease and envy
form.
Before the distant thunders roll
The challenge of a coming storm.
But rather let us know the worth
Of old-time courage down the way.
Where trouble stalks a haunted
earth
And faith holds weaker hearts at
bay.
To stricken heart and shaken mood
From lonely hill to crowded vale
Send us the gift of fortitude
That stands against the final gale.

school lads by end runs and fast
playing, shoved the fighters across
for a touchdown and Joyce kicked
a perfect goal.
Frazier and Casey probably play
jed the best for the scrubs. The
latter displayed a tremenduous
amount of grit when he refused to
go out of the game, after having
sustained an injured neck. Edgerton
| did good punting for the scrubs.
