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.

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.

THE ART OF BEING BORED MEMORIAL HALL SATURDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 3 GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C.. NOVEMBER 30, 1921 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. THE ART OF BEING BORED MEMORIAL HALL SATURDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 3 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.
