GUILFORD MEETS THIRD
DEFEAT 8F THE SEASON
Quakers Play Loosely First Half
But Put up Formidable Defense
in Second.
Guilford held the strong Wake
Forest team to a 28 to 0 score on the
Baptist's gridiron, October 29. Only
one touchdown was allowed during
the second half. This came in the
final period and only after reserves
had been sent in to relieve the fast
weakening regulars who had worn
themselves out in a vain attempt to
score during the third quarter.
Although Giulford failed to regis
ter on the score card, the Quakers
consider the game a decided success.
A much needed opportunity was
given to test the defensive strength
of the team, and the results promise
well for the game with Trinity on
November 5.
The baptists were not able to gain
consistently through the Guilford
team as the score might indicate.
Two of their touchdowns came on in
terrupted forward passes and one on
a fumble. Seven times the Quakers
held them for downs. One of these
came on Guilford's 10-yard line when
they threw back the Wake Forest
team four successive times.
Guilford did her best work in the
second half when she kept Wake
Forest to one touchdown and initiat
ed an offensive consisting of for
ward passes interspersed with end
runs which netted a total of 100
yards. The overhead method proved
to be Guilford's most dangerous
means of attack. With captain
Newlin doing the receiving, six pass
es were completed. One of these, a
long twister from G. Mcßane to
Newlin was gpod for thirty yards.
E. Mcßane at tackle was the main
stay of Guilford's defense and also
played a great game on the offense.
Game by Quarters. —First Period.
The first quarter was the worst of
the four for the Quakers, a eostly
fumble and an intercepted forward
pass allowing two touchdowns. The
game began with Guilford kicking to
Wake Forest's 30-yard line, who
made several short gains but lost
the ball on the 45-yard line. Guilford
fumbled the ball on her third at
tempt, after making two sharp gains
through the line and this time Wake
Forest went for her first touchdown.
Guilford received on her 10-yard line
and White returned the ball 10-yards.
Wake Forest intercepted a forward
pass on Guilford's 20-yard line and
carried the ball over in four charges
through the line. Wake Forest kick
ed to Guilford. White made a pretty
run of 15-yards. Guilford completed
a forward pass for 10-yards as the
quarter ended.
Second Period.
Ball on Wake Forest 40-yard line;
Guilford completed two passes, G.
Mcßane to Newlin in quick succes
sion, but was then forced to kick.
Wake Forest received on her 10-yard
line and drove the ball down the
field for three first downs before she
was finally forced to kick. Guilford
received on her 5-yard line and was
making headway down the field when
Wake Forest intercepted a pass
Which she turned into a touchdown.
Guilford received on her 15-yard line
and returned 10 yards. Guilford lost
the ball on a fumble and the half
ended with Wake Forest making slow
gains. •
Third Period.
Guilford received on her 15-yard
'ine and returned 10 yards. The
Quakers then began the strongest
offensive they had shown up until
this time. Two short passes from
G. Mcßane to Newlin mixed with
gains through the line by White
a nd G. Mcßane ran off four first
downs. Wake Forest succeeded in
stopping the advance on her 25-yard
line and and Guilford kicked to the
12-yard line. Wake Forest advanced
the base 20-yards and was held for
downs. Kicks were exchanged and

GHOSTS AND GOBLINS
WALKAT OLD G. C.
Hallowe'en Revelers Enjoy Evening
Around Camp Fire.
At 7:30 o'clock on Friday night,
which to us was All Hallow's Eve, a
shadowy throng of ghosts from the
land of spirits gathered at Founders
Hall. Ghosts and Goblins, long tall,
slim and short were there, but only
with great difficulty could the spir
its identify each other. At the
order of the leader the crowd paired
off in two's and started in a long
procession to some mysterious—none
knew where.
With silent tread they marched
along, encountering many obstacles
in their way. Terror ran through the
souls of some when back of Founders
they had to cross some bed springs.
On and on they went over brush,
over ditch, and through fields until
they came to a stretch of dark
woods. Many were the yells that
went up as some ghosts, less light
footed than the rest stumbled over a
stump or caught his foot in a briar
or bush.
Suddenly* from out this inky black
ness came light, and, behold! they
were passing through the city of
the dead where Jack-o-lanterns grin
ned and spirits kept their watch.
Still the procession went on and
passed through Archdale Hall where
ghosts really make their dwelling,
as many can now testify. On they
went through the bushes until they
came to a hill where a big camp
fire was burning brightly. It was
then that the curiosity of many
was satisfied, for the masks were
removed and they saw each other
as they were. The ghostly pillow
slips and sheets were turned into
cushions for real people.
Everybody wandered around or sat
beside the trunk of some tree and
watched the flames as they rose from
the camp-fire. When the embers
were glowing the crowd gathered
close together and listened with in
tense interest to the witch tales that
were so charmingly told by some
of the party. Songs and yells and
good cheer made all hearts glad un
til the time to depart. Then all
went home, tired, but happy.
COLLEGE LIBRARY TO BECOME
POSSESSOR OF MANY NEW
BOOKS
One great advantage of a college
student is the easy access to books
of all kinds. Each year since the
new library was built Guilford has
increased the number of her books
until today the college has a large
collection. But feeling the need of
many books which the library does
not contain a large number have
been ordered and will soon be ac
cessible in the reading room room.
Each department will have about
twenty-five new books in technial
lines. The English and Economics
Department will have a much larger
number than this. Spanish has re
cently been added to the college
curriculum; hence many new books
have been ordered for this phase of
work. A collection of books on
journalism and newspaper prepara
tion are included in this list.
Professor W. C. Dennis of Wash
ington, D. C., has given the library
twenty dollars worth of books on In
ternational Relations.
All those interested in Quakerism
will be glad to learn that the series
of Quaker History will be completed
by getting Rufus King's two volume
book on The Later Period of Qua
kerism. Many of the latest books
of fiction will also be in this order
such as, "My Son" by Carl Harris,
and Gene Stratton Porter's latest
novel and many more. All who like
to revel in the pranks of, "Ann of
Green Gable" will be interested to
know we will have more books by
this same author. A complete set
of Mark Twain will be in this order,
as will another volume of Robert
Service's.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., NOVEMBER 2, 1921
GOILFORD CLUB TD BE
ORGANIZED AT HIGH POINT
Senator Mendenhall, Dr. Binford and
Others Speak at Meeting.
Under the auspices of the Commit
tee on Education of the Deep River
Quarterly Meeting, an enthusiastic
meeting was held at the High Point
Friends' Church on October 27, for
the purpose of beginning a move
ment towards the organization of the
Guilford alumni and former students
in High Point.
Mrs. Henry A. White presided at
the meeting. The keynote of the
program was the value of a college
education. Numbers of alumni and
friends of Guilford College made
three-minute speeches, presenting
this general theme from various
points of view.
What a College Education Means
to a Non-Professional Woman was
discussed by Mrs. Horace Ragan, Mrs.
Alta Burton, Miss Horney and Mrs.
S. L. Hayworth. J. E. Cox, Chairman
of the Guilford Board of Trustees,
talked on the value of education in
business and Senator C. E. Menden
hall presented the need of education
in political life.
Various other phases of education
were discussed by President Raymond
R. Binford of Guilford College, Dr.
F. R. Taylor of High Point and
Miss Luna Cox. Music was fur
nished by two sextettes of Guilford
students, under the direction of Pro
fessor James Wesley White and Miss
Beatrice Byrd.
While no definite organization
was effected at this meeting, enough
enthusiasm and interest was aroused
to pave the way for such a step. It
s understood that the High Point
Guilfordians will soon have their
organization in working order, and
will be ready to observe Guilford Day
with the other County Clubs on De
cember 2.
Among the delegation which rep
resented Guilford at the meeting
were: President Raymond R. Binford,
Professor and Mrs. Robert H. Dann,
Professor James Wesley White, Miss
Beatrice Byrd, Miss Clara Henley,
Hope Motley, Esther White, Jose
phine Mock, Margaret Levering,
Pearl Perry, and Messrs. Clyde Shore,
Frank Crutchfield, John Reynolds,
John G. Frazier, Lyndon Williams
and Thad Mackie.
SOUTHERN ALAMANCE ORGAN
IZES GUILFORD CLUB
On Saturday evening, July 23,
1921, the Alumni, old students and
friends of Guilford, in southern Ala
mance County met at Spring church
and organized a Guilford Club. Wes
tern Quarterly Meeting was in ses
sion therfi at that time, and many
Guilfordiatis from other counties
were present.

Mcßane, R. S. Doak and Dr. Ray
mond Binford. A permanent organ
ization was affected at this time.
H. G. Mcßane began the meeting'

its purpose, and remarked upon the
importance of executirtg the plan of
the alumni association, for a Greater
Guilford.
A. I. Newlin, field agent for Guil
ford, encouraged the work of organ
ized effort in getting students in
terested. He also outlined the pro
posed plan of work for these clubs.

MEETING OF COLLEGIATE PRESS
ASSOCIATION WELL ATTENDED
N. C. C. W. Hostess to Delegates
from Many Colleges.
The third semi-annual meeting of
the Inter-Collegiate association was
held at the North Carolina College
for Women on Oct. 28 and 29. The
first meeting was called to order by
the president, Miss Anne Cantrell,
after which the following program
was given, 'Address of Welcome," by
N. C. C. W.. 'lnformal Reception."
tions of College Publications" by
Professor E. C. Lindeman, also of
N. C. C. W., "Informan Reception".
Mr. Lindeman as the chief speaker
of the first session, in the introduc
tion of his discussion, mentioned the
four main types of college publica
tions, namely: (1) humor and wit,
(2) college magazine; (3) technical
journals and, (4) the newspaper type.
Only the newspaper type was dis
cussed.
The newspaper type of college
publication has ten important func
tions, which the speaker named, and
discussed. They are briefly as fol-
Fows: (1) to chronicle College events;
(2) to assist in creating College
College spii'it, (3) to promote self-ex
pression, (4) to serve as an agent for
creating standards in English com
position; (5) to create in minds of
students an interest in state, nation
al and international affairs; (6) to
be a means of proper criticism; (7)
to promote the reading of different
publications; (8) to provide an in
strument by which the faculty and
student may be characterized. (9)
to give a training for students who
are interested in journalism; (10)
to supply a medium through which
the students may articulate the
faculty.
In making criticisms, the criticism
should be neither too destructive, nor
too constructive. One extreme is just
as bad as the other.
A certain amount of spicy jokes,
containing humor and satire, should
be given space. In obtaining humor
ous writings for the paper, no weak
qualities of the individual should be
exposed.
The editorial should be broad and
express as nearly as possible the
sentiment of the College group.
It ought to voice the opinions and
convictions of the best students. Dr.
Lindeman also discussed the two
chief difficulties in producing a col
lege publication: (1) finance and, (2)
getting the students to give the
required amount of time and thought
necessary to produce good contribu
tions.
The present means of securing
funds to run the college paper are
rot suited to the purpose. Solicit
ing commercial ads should not be the
means of financing the paper.
Last of all is the matter of college
credits. Those who help with the
publication of a college journal
should receive college credits for
same. "I am of the opinion," stated
the speaker, "that the editor-in-chief
should receive credits for two sem
ester's of English, while the asso
ciate editors should receive one-half
as many credits for an equal time."
After the formal address, the
delegates to the convention enjoyed
an informal repetition as guests of
the Quill Club of N. C. C. W.
The meeting was continued at nine
o'clock on the following morning
in the Adelphian Society Hall and

DR. E. C. LINDEMAN
ADDRESSES STUDENTS
International Relations Club Hold
First Series of Public Discussion
International Relations Club se
cured as speaker for the first public
discussion of the Disarmament
Conference Wednesday evening, Oc
tober 26, Dr. E. C. Lindeman, Dean
of North Carolina State College
for Women. Dr. Lindeman spent
last summer in Europe, where he
met many government officials dur
ing an investigation of the relief
agencies of Europe.
He discussed in an interesting way
the event leading to the conference.
Dr. Lindeman began by saying that
Austria can not last over one year
as an autonomous government. First
because her territory as laid out by
Treaty of Versalles will not support,
her; and second, the country is in
debt and cannot establish credit
for international trade. Her people
have become degenerated and demor
alized until they have no confidence
in their government.
These same conditions exist in
Jugo-Slavia and Hungary, however
Czecho-Slovakia and Roumania may
make a success.
Czecho-Slovakia has the best
chance of all the newly formed coun
tries. It is favorably located, has
fertile land, and an abundance of
mineral and forest resources, but it
is confronted with a difficult race
problem. The government of this
country is in the hands of intelligent
rulers, still there is at work a strong
German Party attempting to over
throw it.
"Poland at present is more of a
crime than a country." Dr. Lindeman
quoted from a travelling companion.
The people have lost their fine sense
of righteous justice.
The future of all these countries
depends a great deal upon their
success in securing credit from the
United States and other nations of
good financial standing.
People in the recently organized
countries seem to have lost all sense
of international integrity. "There
is more hatred in Europe than ever
and more possibilities of war." The
results of the Washington Conference
will depend upon its ability to make
conclusions which will harmonize
with the whole of Europe.
The next question took up by the
speaker was, "Can Germany pay the
indemnity demanded by France and
the Allies, and if she can, will she?"
No, she can't, and she will not. Ger
many has neither the gold, the credit,
nor the will to pay. At present
she is making material reparations
to France by giving her 20,000,000
tons of coal each month and mining
for France 25,000,000 tons additional
free of charge. She also pays France
twenty-six per cent of the income
from everything exported.
France expects to take upper Si
beria and secure the coal, iron, and
zinc deposits. This will cause the
downfall of the present German gov
ernment, which will eventually lead
to a union with Russia and a refusal
to pay the indemnity. America has
no friends in Europe except Germany
and Czecho-Slavakia. America should
have joined the League of Nations
and aided the helpless countries of
Europe to get on their feet, rather
than to have stayed on the outside
and criticised the League because it
was failing to accomplish what it
should.
The first thing to consider in
dealing with the Pacific question is,
"will the West let Japan control
China." This is the chief issue which
it is likely to cause a split.
France, Great Britian, Germany,
and the United States introduced a
new policy toward a foreign nation
in establishing "Spheres of influence"
in the Far East. Each of these
nations held concessions in China.
Japan entered the same field but
