THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VIII
GILFORD LOSES
SEASON'S LAST
GAME 10 ELON
Lone Touchdown Gives Elon Her
First Football Victory Over
Guilford
Guilford tasted the dregs of defeat
in the final game of the season play
ed at Elon on Thanksgiving day.
It was the first time in the his
tory of football between the two
institutions that Elon has been able
to cross the Quaker goal line. A
lnne tally in the first minute of
the second quarter was sufficient to
give the Maroon and Gold a 7 to 0
victory.
The game was slow and devoid of
spectacular plays of any kind. Al
though whatever advantage there
was to the game lay with Elon,
their touchdown came, not through
any superior show of football, but as
the result o'f a break of' the game
which chance cast against the Qua
kers. Late in the first quarter,
G. Mcßane attempted a long pass,
to Newlin, which carried beyond his
reach and into the hands of an Elon
man, who was off down an open
field for 25 yards, before he was
finally downed under the shadow of
Guilford's goal line. Starting the
second quarter from this position
Elon easily carried the ball across
the final distance.
Aside from this fluke of the game,
the battle resolved itself into a
punting contest, wiih the advantage
in this department going to Lassiter,
of Guilford, who out-kicked his op
ponent by 15 yards. Late in the
fourth quarter, however, Elon dis
played a consistency of Attacks
which was far more deserving of
the victory than the play which net
ted the touchdown. The final whis
tle found the ball on Guilford's 8-yard
line with the Quakers fighting des
perately to repel a drive which was
slowly but surely eating away the
few precious yards that lay between
them and their final ditch.
Throughout the entire game, Guil
ford was lacking in the aggressive
ness which distinctly outclassed the
Elon team in the Armistice day
game at Greensboro. On the other
hand the Maroon and Gold in ad
dition to playing a tight defensive
game seemed to catch some inspira
tion from their home surroundings,
which greatly increased their offen
sive power and enabled them to keep
the ball in Guilford's territory dur
ing the greater part of the time.
Two salient weaknesses were evi
dent in the Quaker's game. The
team failed to provide any inter
ference, and the back-field was un
able to get together a successful
passing game to relieve the strain
of an offensive through the line. As
has been the case throughout the
season Babe Shore and Everett Mc-
Bane were practically the whole
front line defense as well as the
aggressive in the attack. G. Mcßane
and White in the back field showed
the necessary plunging power to ad
vance the ball but at no time were
they given consistent support.
In the third quarter White twist
ed through a broken field for twenty
five yards and for a moment the
Quaker hopes soared as it seemed
that the big fellow was likely to
skirt the safety man and have a
clear chance for the goal. But only
for a moment was there a chance
for in attempting to side-strip the
last man, the turn made was fatal
and Guilford's only opportunity to
score went down. G. Mcßane was
probably the most dependable man
in the back field for short gains
through the line.

GRAYS DEFEAT CRIMSONS IN
INTERESTING GAME
The Gray baseball team won a
victory over the Crimson team in
a very interesting game played Tues
day, Nov, 15. The final score be
ing 24 to 16.
The first two innings were very
exciting, since both teams seemed to
be about equally matched and little
scoring was done by either. But
the Grays soon took the lead and
proved to be the better team in the
last few innings.
Nell Carroll, pitcher for the Gray
team was in good form and was
able to pitch the entire game without
walking a "man." Bertha Zachary,
pitcher for the Crimsons began with
great force and speed, but after
pitching five innings lost control and
Patsy Lowe was substituted. Sarah
Hodges was the star performer for
the Crimson team. She knocked two
home runs during the game and also
did some good field work. lone Lowe,
third baseman for the Grays, de
serves special mention for her ex
cellent batting and field work.
There were many errors made by
both teams, practically due to the
fact that this was the first public
game played this year, and the first
time many of the girls had ever
played in a public game. The errors
did not detract so much from the
game for it was very interesting
and exciting from beginning to end.
Much joy was manifested by the
players also the spectators.

SENIORS ENJOY FRIP
FO PILOT MOUNFAIN
Rain and Blow-Outs Fail to Damp
en Class Spirit.
To most people Nov. 11 is the
one date in this month to be re
membered but to the class of '22 of
Giulford College, Nov. 19, the day of
the Senior picnic to Pilot Mountain,
looms quite as large.
The picnic really began before
sun-up on that day when a number
of the party, regardless of the
threatening clouds outside, gathered
in the kitchen to make sandwiches.
By eight o'clock everything was
ready and the entire class, with
Miss Louise, Miss Roberts and Miss
Robertson as chaperones, set out.
The trip to the foot of the slope
was uneventful except for a puncture
now and then, but by the time all
the cars had reached their destina
tion every one was ready for dinner.
However dinner was not served until
the weary climbers reached the
spring which is about half way up
the mountain. But then how those
sandwiches, deviled eggs and pickles
did disappear for they were devour
ed in real mountaineer style.
Such steep climbing was a new
experience to most of the party
so immediately after dinner couple
by couple began to ascend * and
within half an hour the peak was
in sight. It was when this point
was reached that; all were re
warded for their efforts, for the view
from the top was wonderful. Even
though the day was cloudy one could
se3 the Blue Ridge in th®> distance
and between, in the lowlands, forests,
farms, towns and river.
After an hour or so spent with the
:ield glass the downward journey
vas commenced, and proved even
more fun than the ascent, provided
one's brakes were in good condition.
The homeward trip that evening
:an hardly be called a sad one,
for the rain, blowouts, mud and
strange roads only added to the ex
citement of the affair. Another ad
vantage was that every car had
ts box of eats so that no one had
ny desire to patronize Mr. Peacock's
o"e on the way home.
Thus, Nov. 19 taken as a whole
.vas one of the jolliest ever spent at
or around Guilford and one that
the class of '22 will always remem
ber in years to come.
STUDENTS ENJOY VARIETY OF
THANKSGIVING EVENTS
Thanksgiving Day at Guilford is
always one which the students en
joy, not only because it is a national
holiday, but because it is in itself
an enjoyable occasion.
This year it was observed in the
usual manner with services at the
church in the morning and a general
social the rest of the day. At the
church the neighborhood people siJid
students met together for the com
mon purpose of giving thanks to our
Father for the many blessings be
stowed upon us.
After lunch some of the boys and
girls played tennis, others went on
hikes or hunting expeditions, while
many motored to Elon to see the
game.
However the chief feature of the
day, which was dinner, was post
poned until 7 o'clock. At this hour
all the hungry players, spectators,
hikers and hunters came trooping
in the diningroom to a real Thanks
giving dinner of turkey, cranberry
Sauce, mashed potatoes, dressing,
gravy, hot rolls, celery, fruit salad,
jello and cocoanut cake.
It was then, as well as at the
social which followed, that each one
realized that he had much for which
to be thankful.

I MCBANE ELECTED
EOOTBALLCAP'T FOR 1922
Grid Warriors Meet and Talk Over
Season's Record.
Friday afternoon, the football
squad met in the Y. M. C. A. to
elect a captain for 1922 and to
discuss other matters concerning
football.
At the beginning of the meeting
the letter men retired and elected
Everette Mcßane captain for the
coming year. "Big Mac" as he is
better known on the gridiron has
played on the varsity for two years,
and has always proved himself a
valuable man. Playing tackle for
the past two years, he has been the
mainstay of Guilford's defense and
has always carried his part of the
offensive. With his three year's of
experience, "Mac" knows the game
and this experience coupled with
his fighting qualities should do much
in leading the team to victory.
After talks by captain Newlin of
this year's team and captain-elect
Mcßane, every member of the squad
was given an opportunity to express
himself in regard to the showing of
the team the past season and offer
suggestions for next year.
After these informal talks, Coach
Doak expressed a feeling of encour
agement for the past season's record
and spoke enthusiastically in regard
to next year's outlook.
Plans were made at this time for
two or three weeks of post-season
football for men who were anxious
to gain experience for next year.
GUILFORD SCRUBS GO DOWN IN
DEFEAT
Score 7 to 0
Guilford's second team lost a hard
fought and interesting game to Oak
Ridge on the latter's field Friday,
November 18, by a score of 7 to 0.
The only outstanding advantage
that Oak Ridge had over the Scrubs
was the ability to complete forward
passes. This type of offense was
largely responsible for the only
touchdown of the game. In all other
points of the game Guilford was
decidedly as effective as her oppo
nents.
The touchdown for Oak Ridge was
made by Clayton who received a for
ward pass from Guilford's 25-yard
line to her 5-yard line and then
carried the ball across the goal
line. Turner kicked goal.
Both teams played a clean game.
Only a few penalties were imposed.
The team appreciated the hospital
ity which it received while on Oak
Ridge campus.
