C., as second-class mail matter. Member of North Carolina Collegiate Pres Association EDITORIAL COMMENT The growing: popularity of Friday night as a time for amusements out side the Literary Society Halls is both objectionable and undesirable. May we ask whether the eyes of the Faculty will be closed to this direct attack upon the life and wel fare of its most cherished form of literary work, or will they! awake at once and nip this plant as soon as it shows its first shoots? It should not be allowed to grow up into an obnoxious weed, spreading its con taminating evil desires into the minds and actions of those who are showing an increasing desire to look elsewhere for their pleasures. During the football season, as well as other seasons when some partic ular phase of athletics is most prom inent, the team receives much cheer ing and newspaper comment—that is, the varsity receives the?e honors. We would not discredit, in the least these men who have borne the brunt of the season's work. But at this time we lift our hats to those fellows who for some reason have come to be called scrubs. They ought not to be called scrubs. There should be some name which better repi-esents them. While it is a fact that they are the beginners, yet we would do well to stjp and think that in the matter of reai fight they represented the highest type, for theirs is a losing fight. And the man who can take a licking one day and come back the next for another dose of the same medicine and con tinue for one or two years deserves a great deal of credit. Such a person is oar scrub, (if we must call him by th-a', name.) Day by day the varsity runs over him; he hasn't the chance to star that the. most experienced varsity man has; yet he is willing and glad to undergo the dauv grind l* the gridiron in the hope of. one day gaining his place in the foot ball sun. This spirit is one of the finest that a fellow can show. The willing ness to rise on the basis of merit and not to seek some easy method by which the coveted place may be obtained is a quality worthy of the highest commendation. Another fine feature of our scrub is his sticking qualities. The first call is always answered with much enthusiasm by a goodly number of fellows, who apparently are anxious to learn foot ball, but who, one by one, fall out under the strain of a heavy season, until only a select few are left to fight the battle. It is particularly these men who have fought to the last, that we wish to commend and we urge them to fight on. • The future depends upon them. The football season is over. Many are inclined to pronounce the season a miserable failure. From the stand point of the number of games won they are right. But we believe that there is something more important than this, even though it is greatly desired by every eleven. We frank ly admit that we probably know as little about the strategy of the game as any college in the state. On the other hand, we believe that no team in the state has done more to bring credit to the good name of the game than Guilford. The football code plainly states that "any player who violates a rule is guilty of unfair play and unsports manlike tactics, and whether or not he escapes being penalized, he brings discredit to the good name of the game, which it is his duty as a player to uphold." No good sports man is ever guilty of cheap talk to his opponents, neither will he whine over the decision of the officials even though he thinks their decision is a mistaken one with this idea of a good sportsman in mind we seriously question whether or not any of our opponents during the past season can accuse a single individual of our team being unsportsmanlike. Guilford was only penalized seven times during the entire season, for a total of sixty-five yards. The writer knows that five of these penalties were not made intentionally, four of them were offside penalties, and the other one for intentional interference with fair catch. Only on one occa sion, during the seven games, was a Guilford man guilty of cheap talk to his opponents and at no time did our men whine about the decision of the officials even if it seemed a mistaken one. The officials were always respected as men, who were representing the integrity of the game of foot ball. There was not a man in the squad who smoked. Where is the team that has a similar record to boast of? We regret to say that our oppo nents have not always manifested such conduct as that displayed by our team. We are proud of Guilford's rec ord in this respect, for we feel that if the so-called Christian Colleges do not put the principles of Chris tianity into practice on the athletic field there is no assurance that they will regard them in other phases of college life.
