THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VIII
CKON AND GRAY TEAM LOSES I
HAROFQUGHT GAME TO LYNCHBURG
Hornets Run Away With Quakers
in Third Quarter Scoring
Touchdowns
FINAL SCORE 32-14
Guilford lost her second game of
the season to Lynchburg, in the
Virginians' territoiy on October 15,
An unlucky fumble and a smashing
attack in the third period which the
Quakers were unable to stem re
sulted fatally for Guilford. In the
other three periods the honors were
fairly well divided; with the edge
going to the visitors.
The forward lines of both teams
played a weak defensive game. The
entire four quai-ters were interspers
ed with long gains, the backs often
breaking through all defense but
the safety man and carrying the
ball for twenty and thirty yards.
The offensive work of the Guilford
eleven showed distinctly more
driving power than was displayed
in the earlier game.
The first tally went to the visit
ors as the result of a punt which
was blocked by "Babe" Shore, Guil
ford's big tackle, and recovered be
hind the goal line. The final touch
down for the "Crimson and Gray"
came early in the second quarter
after a steady march down the field,
and was the immediate result of a
pass by G. Mcßane to Newlin who
carried the ball across the line.
To White goes the honor for the
major part of Guilford's gains. A
beautiful end run executed by him
early in the game placed the ball in
position for the first touchdown. His
crashing line plunges also aided
materially in the Guilford offense.
G. Mcßane and Newlin unlimbered
the most effective aerial attack which
means netted very valuable gains.
Newlin's long run in the beginning
of the second quarter advanced the
ball thirty yards on Guilford's un
interrupted drive to her second touch
down. Purvis, a new man in the
backfield showed up unusually well.
He carried his part of the offensive
in good style throughout the entire
game.
E. Mcßane was the bulwark
of Guilford's defense. Repeatedly
the big fellow spilled almost the
entire interference of the Virginians,
entire in- edown.D ipassby esecodn
Witt, a fleet Lynchburg halfback,
was responsible for many of her
spectacular end runs and fake passes.
Score by periods
First period.
The first quarter resulted in a
touchdown for both teams with a
one point margin for Guilford.
Guilford received the ball on her
30 yard line and returned it 10
yards.
A series of line plunges were
attempted, which failed to gain, and
Lynchburg took the ball on downs,
only to repeat the same process.
With the ball again in Guilford's
hands a long end run by White and
a pass on Lynchburg's 25 yard
line, and Guilford was then held for
downs. Lynchburg lost ten yards
on a fumble, and was forced to
kick. Babe Shore broke up the
punt and recovered the ball behind
Lynchburg's goal line for a touch
down, and G. Mcßane added the
extra point in a faultless kick.
Lynchburg received on her 30
yard line and returned the ball
to Guilford's 40 yard line.
In three consecutive first downs
Lynchburg carried the ball to Guil
ford's yard line and on the final
down shoved it across the goal.
Her kick was unsuccessful. Guilford
received on her 40 yard line.
Second Peroid
Guilford 7, Lynchburg 6.
Guilford began an uninterrupted
march through Lynchburg's territo
ry, Newlin tore 30 yards down the
field, and this together with two
first downs on line plunges carried
the ball to Lynchburg's 10 yard
line. G. Mcßane completed a pass
to Newlin for a touchdown. G. Mc-
Bane kicked goal.
Lynchburg received on her 30 yard
line and returned the ball 15 yards.
A sleepy end pass, resulting in a
35 yard gain, placed the ball in
position for a touchdown which
quickly followed. Lynchburg again
failed to kick goal.
Guilford received on her 25 yard
line. Lynchburg intercepted a pass on
Guilford's 45 yard line.
Third Quarter.
Guilford, 14, Lynchburg, 12.
The third period proved the un
doing of the Guilford machine.
Lynchburg received on her 25 yard
line and started an offensive that
carried them without halting for
a touchdown. This time she was
successful in the kick. Guilford re
ceived but lost the ball on a
fumble and Lynchburg again du
plicated her previous tactics with
similar results. Guilford received
but again the defense failed to
hold and Lynchburg, advancing at
will around Guilford's ends, scored
her final touchdown. The period
ends with the ball in Guilford's
possession on her 10 yard line.
Fourth Period
Guilford, 14, I ynchburg, ?.2.
In the final period the Quaker de
fense stiffened and she took the
offensive a greater part of the
time but failed to score. Taking
the ball on her 10 yard line Guil
ford advanced 70 yards to the
shadow of Lynchburg's goal line but
was held for downs. Lynchburg
punted to Guilford's 40 yard line.

the members of the varsity team
are yet to be de determined.
In the last issue of The Guilfordian
through a mistake Fredi Winn's name
was not listed among the tennis
players and the writer wishes to
correct the mistake. Mr. Winn prov
ed to be one of our strongest
tennis players last year and to
gether with last year's experience
nd daily practice this fall has
jven better prospects for this season.
At present tennis is being recog
nized by many Guilford students
as a very desirable and interest
ing sport and it is hoped that this
spirit will be perpetuated in order
'.hat this game may claim the at
ention of the athletic world, in the
future more than it has in the
past.
HEALTH PAGEANT ATTRACTS
FAVORABLE COMMENT
In order that the college commu
nity might understand more fully
the work which the graded school
is doing toward the promotion of
good health, a pageant was presented
by the third and fourth grades at
Memorial Hall, Saturday evening,
September 15. This short play im
pressed upon the minds of the audi
ence the fact that sunshine, fresh
air, pure water, cleanliness, good
food, exercise, and rest are essential
to health and happiness.
Following this came the moving
picture show which has come to be
a real part of college life. Some
beautiful and picturesque scenes of
the mountainous regions along the
coast of Southern France were
shown. These views were excep
tionally good and it is hoped that
they will be followed by more of the
same nature.
The concluding number for the
evening was a stage representa
tion of "Little Women" taken from
Louisa M. Alcott's famous novel.
This romance was full of feeling and
action and won the undivided atten
tion of all present.
TRY OUTS FOR PLAY
Come and try out for the
Y. W. C. A. jlay on Monday,
October 24 from 8:00 to 9:00
p. m. and on Tuesday, Oct.
25, at 6:30. Watch bulletin
board for place.
Y. W. C. A. PICNIC
AT DUNLAP SPRINGS
Guilford Co-eds Enjoy Annual
Merry-Makii.g
A picnic at Dunlap Springs! Who?
The whole Y. W. When? Last Sat
urday. Why? Just for 1 fun'
Enthusiasm over the annual Y. W.
C. A. Picnic always runs high but
it reached a higher peak than usual
this year. Perhaps this was due to
the change in place. Owing to the
recent student-body picnic at the
Battleground, it was decided to es
tablish a precedent by visiting
Dunlap Springs this time.
Whether due to this innovation
or not, 1:30 Saturday afternoon
found every girl waiting eagerly to
find a place in her assigned truck.
Soon teachers, girls and eats were
packed in the four big trucks and
the real fun began.
The twelve miles were rapidly
covered and as soon as Miss Louise
made the announcement that every
girl could do as she pleased, the
groups scattered to investigate their
new surroundings. The pavilon,
spring house and woods seemed to
be the favorite spots, although a
few preferred long exploration
hikes. For the sake of variety,
however, the dancing pavilion, mu
sic, and jazz attracted most of
the crowd for a short time, while
the spring house with its famous
iron water was the popular place
during the intermission.
But no matter what form of re
creation was chosen during the after
noon, there is no doubt that every
one was united in a common pur
pose between the hour of 4:30 and
5:30 for that, as you have guessed,
was supper hour. And such good
pirmento, egg, raisin, and pineapple
sandwiches you have never eaten.
Then came pickles, "hot-dogs," bis
cuits, coffee and apples to be eaten
around a grand camp fire. What
more could one wish for amid such
surroundings, for the chosen spot on
the edge of a woods with the many
colored autumn leaves, was indeed
an atti-active one.
Had it not been for the movie
show scheduled at the College that
night Miss Louise might have had
a little difficulty about 5:30 to
persuade the girls that it was leav
ing time, but again fate was on
her side. The homeward journey
was well worth any ordinary picnic,
for the joyful spirits overflowed in
song and yells which subsided only
as each girl • sought her dormitory.
SPECIAL CLASSES IN MATH
EMATICS AND ENGLISH
Everybody who has been to college
must have heard about and probably
experienced the terrors of freshman
mathematics at one time or an
other. The path through the fresh
man year to the sophomore class
is exceedingly rugged, and many
would fall by the wayside if it
were not for the fact that special
classes have been organized for
those whose struggles for success
in college algebra and English have
been the hardest during the two
weeks' try-out. In this way more
time and attention are required but
doubtless there will be fewer failures
at the end of the year and every
body concerned will be both wiser
and happier.
—The federal labor department
found that during September food
prices declined in all but two of the
large cities in the United States,
San Francisco and Dallas, Tex., be
ing the exceptions.
This county will not pi-actice for
ertry until woodland owners get
the idea that timber is a crop, to
be planted, cared for, and harvested
like any other crop, except for its
longer growing period.
FACULTIf AND STUDENTS
COOPERATE INDBAMATICS
Y. W. C. A. and Athletic Associa
tion to Join Forces in Giving
Plays.
A movement of much interest to
the student body of "Guilford Col
lege and its friends was initiated on
October 14 when a joint committee
from the Y. W. C. A., the Y. M. A.
A., and the Faculty Literary Club
met to consider plans for improving
the dramatic productions of the
college.
It has been customary in the past
for each of the above mentioned
student organizations to stage one
production annually, the Y. W. C.
A., a play with a feminine cast; the
Athletic Association, a minstrel show.
Recently a suggestion was made
by the Faculty Literary Club that
conditions might be improved by re
placing the current productions with
two plays with mixed castes, under
the direction of the two students
organizations with the co-operation
of the faculty. The financial ele
ment would remain unchanged, the
proceeds from one play going to
the Y. W. C. A., from the other
to the Y. M. A. A.
This suggestion was received with
much enthusiasm by the students.
Since the Y. W. had already decid
ed to give a play in November, it
was necessary to take immediate
steps. Committees as follows were
appointed by the three organizations
to make and execute plans for
putting into action the purposed
change: from the Y. W. C. A.,
Clara Henley, Marianna White, Eliz
abeth Yates; from the Y. M. A. A.,
Lindon Williams, Gladstone Hodgin,
Spot Taylor; from the Literary
Club, Miss Polk, Miss Roberts, Mr.
Doak.
The result of the conference was
that the three committees resolved
themselves into a Dramatic Council,
with Miss Polk as president and
Spot Taylor as secretary, to serve
as an executive body to pass upon
all plans relating to the dramatic
productions of the organizations.
A play committee was appointed
from each group to make tentative
selections of suitable plays which
are to be submitted to the Council
for final decision.
Clara Henley, chairman, Mabel
Ward, Isabel Pancoast and Miss
Roberts were appointed from the
Y. W., Gladstone Hodgin, chairman,
Grady Mcßane, Hersal Macon. Miss
Polk and Mr. Doak from the Y. M.
A. A. These committees were in
structed to report at the next meeting
of the Council on Thursday, October
20, at which time the play for the
Y. W. C. A. will be definitely select
ed.
The Council also decided to adopt
a system of try outs. They are
hoping that a great many students
will be interested enough to come
out and try out for parts in the
play, thus giving them a chance to
select the best possible caste. Under
the old system of assigning parts
it has often been difficult to select
the person best fitted for a particular
lole, and little new talent has been
developed.
The first try outs will be held on
Monday evening, October 24, fi-om
8 to 9 o'clock and on Tuesday even
ing at 6:30. As soon as the play
has been selected notices will be
posted on the bulletin board at
Memorial Hall announcing more def
inite directions, It will then be pos
sible for students to secure a copy
of the play and select the parts for
which they wish to try out. In the
mean time the casting committee,
composed of Miss Roberts, Marianna
White, and Gladstone Hodgin will be
glad to give further information as
to the nature of the try outs to all
those interested.
The Y. W. C. A. play will be
given November, 26.
