THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME VIII FIGHTING QUAKER TEAM BATTLES ETON TO A DRAW IN ANNUAL ARMISTICE DAY GAME Both Teams Fail to Score But Guil ford Outclassed Her Opponents In Three of Four Quarters Game An Interesting One Guilford and Elon battled to a 0 to 0 score in their annual Armistice day clash in Greensboro. Although Guilford failed to get a sufficient edge to score upon -Elon she was the aggressor throughout the game, and kept the ball in the enemies' territory most of the time. Two different times it seemed that Guilford's offensive would be successful but each time the final drive was lacking. The first chance came from a place kick by G. Mc- Bane which fell short of the goal a few feet, and the second came in the last few minutes of play when Guilford fighting desperately to se cure a touchdown before the final whistle resorted to the aerial method and narrowly missed scoring. Elon's only chance came in the second quarter, in which she seemed to have the edge on Guilford. From deep in her own territory Elon car ried the ball steadily up the field for 50 yards placing the ball on Guilford's 25-yard line. Here Guil ford stiffened her defense and after plunges through the line and passes had failed Johnson attempted a place kick which missed by only a few yards. The half ended imme diately after. It was the best work of the day by Elon and the only time that she displayed any dan gerous offensive power. Guilford's men were distinctly superior in the first, third and fourth quarters. They showed more power in plunging the line, a more success ful forward passing game and plenty of defensive strength when defense was needed. G. Mcßane was the best running back on the field with Perry of Elon running second. Babe Shore was the most effective linesman, and captain Newlin played a great defensive game at quarter. Guilford made twelve first downs as compared with six by Elon. In the comparison of yards gained Guilford showed up still better having more than twice as much yardage to her credit as the Elon team was able to make. The game started with Guilford kicking to Elon's 20-yard line. Elon returned the ball 15 yards, failed to gain in three attempts and punted to the 50-yard line. From this point Guilford started an offensive towards the goal. G. Mcßane drove through a total of twenty yards in short hard off tackle plays, and these gains, together with a fine yard gain by White, placed the ball on Elon's 25-yard line. Here the Elon team held against two drives against their line and succeeeded in break ing up a pass. On fourth attempt Newlin attempted to punt but was downed in his tracks. Elon made one first down, but suffered a penalty and in her next attempt failed to make the necessary gains. This was followed by an exchange of punts between the two teams and the end of the period. At the beginning of the second quarter Elon kicked to Guilford's 40- yard line. G. Mcßane and White advanced the ball 35 yards in a series of short gains through the line. Guilford was unable to sus tain her offensive, however. Elon took the ball on her 25-yard line. Elon then began the only offensive in which she threatened the Quakers. L. Perry, Newman and Johnson earned two first downs in short rushes off tackle. Two forward passes and a penalty to Guilford for off sides took the ball to Guil ford's 15-yard line. Guilford's line held them at this point and Johnson, attempted a place kick which failed. Guilford took the offensive at the beginning of the third quarter. Starting the attack on her 35-yard line she carried the ball to Elon's 40-yard line without a halt. As before short rushes off tackle by G. Mcbane and White were respon sible for most of the gains. "Shorty" Frazier from his position at end swung loose for one nice run. Elon finally stopped the rush on her 35-yard line. After an exchange of punts G. Mcßane made the best pass of the game to Newlin for almost 20 yards. But again Guilford was lacking in the final punch. At the beginning of the fourth quarter Elon was forced to punt to Guilford. The Quakers opened with a beautiful pass from G. Mcßane to Frazier which placed the ball on Elon's 30-yard line. After a short gain by White, G. Mcßane attempted his' place kick, on fourth down, which barely missed giving the nec essai'y points for a victory. After more kicking on the part of both teams. White, Guilford's big half back, got loose for the longest run up of the game, a 20-yard run. With only a few more minutes to play Lassiter made a long punt which was recovered by Elon on her 2-yard line. Elon punted to her 25-yard line. In the remaining minutes of play Guilford made a desperate effort to score with passes. Both teams relied upon straight football from standard formations. Neither team was able to gain around end and the pass was used comparatively little. Mcßane and White carried the ball most of the time for Guilford. Frazier at left end showed lots of speed.

Mr. Clarence Pickett, leader of the Life Service Deputation, gave a practical and helpful chapel talk Monday morning, November 14. "Confidence in power of Christ is esential if we discover what is in us." As an introduction to this subject, the speaker said: that we are only entering upon the ocean of knowledge. In fact discoveries in astronomy and science are only at their beginning. Some of the greatest investigations into these two subjects prove the great possibilities of learning of God through nature. There is opportunity for all to perform valuable service. Christians are needed, not only as ministers and missionaries, but as men who ai'e willing to put the teachings of Christ into practice in the business world. The world is starving for the organized force of true religion. —A new kind of hootch has ap peared in Pittsburg, Pa., and is baffling the prohibition agents. The beverage, called "Sweet Lucy," re sembles Scotch whiskey in appear ance but is mild and pleasant to the taste. One or two drinks in variably put the imbiber out of commission in short order. The pro hibition agents call it the "essence of hell." GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C-. NOVEMBER 16, 1921 PASTOR OF CHURCH-BY THE-SIOE-OFI HE-ROAD CON DUCTS SERVICES AT GUILFORD A Four-Reel Sermon Preached by Rev. W. C. Smith. In preparation for the work of the Life Service Deputation which arrived on Sunday, Rev. Wade C. Smith, pastor of the "Church-by the-Side-of the-Road," in Greensboro, addressed the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. on Thursday and Saturday evenings, November 10 and 12. The subject for both evenings was Revelations 3:20, "Behold I stand at the door and knock; if any one hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him and sup with him and he with me," Mr. Smith considers this text a message to church folks as well as to sinners. Let us, says Mr. Smith, think of the verse as having four reels (Us ing a moving pocture term). The first is the reel, "Behold I stand at the door," second, "I knock," third, "the opened door" and fourth, "I will come in and sup with him." Mr. Smith considered only two reels of his motion picture ort Thursday evening. "Why was it necessary to say behold?" he asked. Jesus sends this message to Christians and sinners alike meaning for us "to look." When the present tense is used it is always connected with the past tense. If Jesus Christ stands at the door, he has been standing there for a little time at least. How lcng has he been kept waiting? Notice that Christ says he stands at the door, at an entrance through which he hopes to enter all the way. He wants to enter into the door of our intellectual, physical, and business interests. He also de ires an entrance at the door of orrows and disappointments. The second figure is that of knock ing. Have we ever heard Him l;nock? There is a difference in the tone of his knockings. Some are very soft and quiet. When the sunlight first comes in he is knock ing through the light, the symbol of sweetness and goodness, which is summoning us to a new day with its responsibilities and privileges. Every thing that starts us thinking in new channels is the knocking of Jesus Christ. God is calling us, who have the wealth of years, so that we may spend our lives to yield greatest profit to him, and certainly to us. On Saturday evening, Mr. Smith presented the last two reels of his picture, "The Door" and "The Sup per." "Give all to Christ, make no re servations," was the outstanding ap peal of Mr. Smith. The world l'-as been shaken to the foundation by the recent war. There is no peace on the earth today; all is confusion and turmoil. Present dis putes can be settled only through the blood of Christ. God is giv ing us an opportunity to settle the world's disputes, but we must first fling wide the doors of our hearts. Jesus Christ is standing at the door. He is not only standing at the door, but he is standing there for a purpose. If the door is opened many opportunities will be offered, and many visions will be seen. "If any man will hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in," and we will sup together. There is something more connected with the eating of a meal together than just the joy of eating at the same table. The dining table is a par ticularly suitable place for "putting across" a whole hearted deal. Christ's supping with a person means that he will take all the bitterness out of that individual's life. Jesus cares nothing about dining with a man in order that he (Continued on page 3) GIRLS' BASEBALL SEASON CLOSES Wlffl PUBLIC GAME Basketball Season opens November, 28. To end the baseball season a public game will be played Tuesday, Nov. 15. The former plan was for the freshman girls to play the other girls of the college, but since these teams were not very evenly matched a second plan has been formed. The girls have been divided into two groups, the Crimsons and the Grays. From a group of fifty, who have been going out for practice, the following have been chosen, out of which the regular teams will be picked. Grey Squad Crimson Squad. Nell Carroll Bertha Zachary Allene Johnson Patsy Lome Shelley Clodfelter Flay Vuncannon lone Lowe Mabel Mcßane Grace Smithdeal Sarah Hodges Vera Farlowe Edna Been Zclma Farlowe Francis Garner Clementine Raiford Ruth Hodges Alta Zachary Henrietta Lassiter Delia Williams Inez White Lavina Neese Anna Doub Mary Etta Neece Mabel Ward Louise Ross. All of these girls have been go ing out for practice three times a week and have shown great skill in batting and field work. The two teams are very evenly matched and a close and interesting game is expected. The tennis tournament is being played now. Many girls have al ready been eliminated. The final game will be very interesting be cause there are several girls who usually play well. A great effort is being put forth by these girls to win out in the final game. The basket ball season will open Monday, Nov. 28. There arc* many of last year's best players back and the prospects are favorable for a very successful year in this sport. The game between the old and new girls will be played as usual, also the class game. Each class has enough players for a good team and some interesting games ai - e ex pected. Miss Robertson deserves special mention for the interest she has taken in all the sports, and for the interest she has created among the girls. NEW FACULTY RULING CON CERNING SCHOLARSHIP It is, and has always been the aim of Guilford to send out gradu ates well prepared for life's tasks. Everywhere they have been known for the thoroughness of their work. From time to time the requirements have been raised to comply with the requirements of a Standard college and to give Guilford a high place among the colleges of North Carolina. Beginning with the fall of 1922, all students must make an average of 81 per cent on their work in order to graduate according to the new regulations passed at the last faculty meeting. This rule does not apply to any work done before that time. This regulation will l-aise the standards of the col lege in the quality of the work done, and will insure better scholarship in its graduates. NOTICE TO OUR READERS The Guilfordian will not be pub lished next week on account of Thanksgiving holidays. —Takashi Hara, the prime minis ter of Japan, was assassinated at a railway station in Tokio last Fri day by a demented youth 19 years of age. The tragic event, coming on the eve of the disarmament conference in Washington, profound ly shocked the diplomatic circles of all civilized countries. INTERNATIONAL RELA TIONS CLUB DISCUSSES ITALYJND FRANCE Public Discussion Well Attended On Wednesday evening, Nov. 9, the Internationl Relations Club met in Memorial Hall with Prof. Anscombe presiding. The evening was devoted to a discussion of our recent allies. Italy and France. Miss Ruth Levering and Mr. John Reynolds presented the case of Italy, while Miss Anna Roberts of the French department and Mr. H. G. Mcßane explained the situation of France. Miss Levering reviewed the history of Italy from the time of Napoleon up to the late World War. She told how Napoleon had established kingdoms in Italy and fought Aus tria. Later he realized his mistake and left Italy to shift for herself. But a feeling of nationality had been aroused and from that time forward Italy grew into a nation. Miss Levering pointed out that Italy had had good leaders such as Gara baldi and Cavouri, but that she was also characterized by corrupt politics and many parties. This necessitated a coalition in order to win an elec tion. She also pointed out that the Pope had hindered Italy from be coming a united nation. France has upheld the Pope and worked against Italy. She told how Italy had made the mistake of joining the Triple Alliance, for in it was her old enemy Austria from whom she had hoped to gain territory. Thus when the World War broke out Italy did not fight with Germany and Austria but later joined the Allies. Mr. Reynolds took up the discus sion at this point, explaining the Triple Entente and the Triple Alli ance. He told of a secret treaty be tween Italy and England, in which territory was promised to Italy. Mr. Reynolds said that Italy was one of the poorest nations and contained the most illiterate people in Europe. He showed a map of Italy, pointing out the boundaries of Italy and her new territory. He said that she had acquired about all the territory possible and it would be to her interest to join in> disarmament. Mr. Reynolds ended by saying that the great desire of Italy is for territory where she may send her surplus population. In the discussion of France Miss Roberts took the leading part. She told of the difference between Germany and France which led up to the late war. She pointed out how France had been wronged by Germany in the war of 1870, and told how the war was brought on by Bismark's falsifying a telegram. She showed how France had suffered and how she prapared to get re venge. Alsace-Loraine was discuss ed in its relation to both Germany and France. Finally she pointed out the race to arm between Ger many and France, from 1820 until 1914. She also told of various crises and the final one which re sulted in the great strife of the World War. Mr. Mcßane discussed the position of France since 1914. He said that France had been very quickly overrun by the Germans in the early part of the war and her territory so thoroughly devastated that it would take years to restore it to its pre-war condition. He gave some startling statistics whicb proved what he said. Germany has hardly been touched by devastation, which explains much of the French attitude toward Germany. France feels that she has suffered many wrongs at the hands of Germany in the past. He then came to the question of (Continued on page 2) No. 8
