THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VIII
IN OF GRIDIRON
RECEIVE HONORS
Stars Awarded to Six Men. Six
Men Receive Letters
The morning chapel period Janua
ry 16, was turned over to the Men's
Athletic Association. The president
of the A. A., L. L. Williams, took this
occasion to present to the men of the
football squad, who attained the re
quired record, the emblem of service
which is given Guilford athletes as
a mark of appreciation for services
rendered.
The requirements for winning a
"G" are that the man must be in
three Varsity games, one of which is
won by the team. For each additional
season in which these requirements
are met a star is awarded.
Six men received stars for the
past season's work, "Bony" White,
G. Mcßane and Captain Newlin are
the first in length of service, having
been through four seasons, White
and Newlin received their second
star and Mcßane his first. Babe
Shore has served three years with
the squad and having made the Var
sity during his first! year also receiv
ed his second star. E. Mcßane and
B. C. Shore were awarded their first
star for the two years' work with the
Varsity. The men who filled the re
quirements and were awarded a "G"
are Smith, Jack Frazier, Lassiter,
Warrick, Purvis and Taylor. Wil
liams a three year man who suffer
ed an injury early in the season
which prevented his playing in Varsi
ty games was given special mention.
SCIENCE IN THE AIR
Supercharger Made Record Break
ing Air plane Flight Possible.
The present record breaking air
plane flight of Lieut. J. A. Mc-
Ready to a height of over 40,000
feet, was made possible through
the use of special turbine super
charger. This is a device which
takes the scant supply of oxygen
from the rarefied atmosphere at
these tremenduous heights and com
presses it to sea level density, sup
plying it at this density to the
carburetors of the air plane engine.
The supercharger does the same
thing for the engine that oxygen
flasks do for the pilot—prevents
suffocation.
Beyond altitudes cf 15,000 feet,
the aviator must begin to take ox
ygen.
As the aviator approaches 20.000
feet, the gas engine of his airplane
begins to struggle, also for want of
oxygen; for at that level there
is only half as much oxygen in
the atmosphere as there is at sea
level. The speed of the engine
-lows down because there is not
enough oxygen for combustion.
Aided by the supercharger, how
ever, the airplane can now master
neights unattainable without it. The
supercharger has given the gas
engine of the airplane actually more
vitality than the man who rides
in the airplane.
Dr. Sanford A. Moss, research
engineer, who designed the G. E.
supercharger, has made the appa
ratus work by means of a complete
°J'cle of operations. The red-hot
exhaust gases from the airplane
engine, which formerly passed off
into the air as wasted energy, are
now made to (discharge against
a small turbine wheel, causing it
to revolve at between 20.000 and
30,000 revolutions per minute.
The turbine drives a centrifugal
air compressor, which compresses
the small percentage of oxygen in
the 'rarefied air to sea level den
sity and feeds it into the carbure
tors of the engine. That enables
the engine to continue running at
full power; to continue driving
the propeller of the airship; and
to continue discharging exhaust
gases, which, in turn, continue to
operate the turbine wheel.
QUAKER QUINT BEGINNING
TO SHAPE UP
First same with EJon on January 31
Two more weeks before the open
ing of the college basketball season,
ought to find the Quaker aggrega
tion in excellent shape. The whole
squad has been undergoing practice,
since the holidays designed to in
crease the efficiency of a passing
game. Dribbling has not been en
tirely eliminated, but unnecessary
work of this kind is looked upon
with disfavor. Every effort is being
made to make the quintet a skillful
passing team.
Four letter men of last year
are on the court and will fur
nish the frame work of the basket
ball machine tihis .season. J. G.
Frazier, veteran forward is back at
his old position and has proven
himself capable of. making records
equal to former achievements. J.
W. Frazier, who played forward last
year is displaying flashes of speed
and good shoct'ng. Mackie. one of
last year's substitutes is doing good
work at center. G. Mcßane, a guard
of last year and Newlin, who played
center in- some games last year have
been placed in the guard positions.
Gate, Crews, Hayworth, Paine, Ken
dall and Ferrell are also displaying
some skill at the game. All indi
cations seem to point to the devel
opement of the best quinet that has
represented Guilford in several years.
Although the college season does
not open until we meet Elon here
January 31, the team will meet the
strong Winston-Salem "Y" team in
Winston Wednesday, evening, Jan
uary 18. The Winston team is com
posed of former college players and
will afford a good practice game
for the Quakers.
DAVIDSON COLLEGE ANNOUN

Wildcat Cage Artists Face Many
Southern Teams on Difficult
Schedule
Davidson, N. C., Jan. 18—Davidson
College opens the 1922 Inercol'.egi
ate basketball season February Ist.
when she plays Wofford College at
Davidson. Davidson is somewhat
handicapped in that only one cf last
year's letter men is back, Captain
Crawford at guard. However, many
of last year's scrubs are showing
eexcellent form and it is expected
that Davidson will be represented
by a team that will be worthy of the
name "Wildcat" in every particular.
The saying is though that Coach
Hengeveld's broad grin is due to the
ecellent work of several Freshmen
on the light but unusually fast
second team.
Manager Cornelson has announced
the following schedule for the Wild
cats:
February 1, Wofford at Davidson
February 2, Clemson at Davidson
February 4, N. C. State at David
son
February 7, Trinity at Durham
February 8, N. C. State at Raleigh

GUILFORD COLLEGE. N. C.. JANUARY 18, 1922
ELIZABETHAN PLAYERS PRE
SENT "THE TAMING OF
THE SHREW"
In "The Taming of the Shrew" as
presented by the Elizabethan players
under the direction of Pierre Pelle
tier, on Saturday, January 14, Guil
ford students enjoyed an unusual
treat. The play, while much abridg
ed was staged as nearly as possible
in the Elizabethan manner, with
hangings for a background instead
of scenery and very few stage pro
perties.
The troupe, six in number, dis
played much versatility in the way
in which they handled a play involv
ing twelve characters. First honors,
of course, belong to Mr. Pelletier,
who presented admirably the role of
Petruchio. Mrs. Pelletier, who play
ed the part of Katherinethe Shrew,
also won the hearty support of the
audience, particularly in her inter
pretation of the final scene.
Mr. Barron, as Grumio, and Mrs.
Krant, in the part of Curtis, were
also especially good, although all
the minor parts were well enacted.
Mr. and Mrs. Pelletier have both
had extensive professional careers,
Mr. Pelletier having acted with
Sothern and Marlowe for two years,
with Mrs. Fiske and other famous
stars as well as having directed
several stock companies, while Mrs.
Pelletier starred in "What Happened
to Mary."
TURNING WARS KNOWLEDGE
TO PEACE TIME USE
By E. W. Davidson.
The lessons we learned at war
were multitudinous. The boundaries
of human knowledge were pushed far
afield. But how is the world to profit
by it all
The answer comes from Engineer
ing Foundation, which in a report on
co-operation in industrial research,
declares that America is entering on
an "era of industrial research in
which corporations large and small
are linked with government agencies,
engineering organizatiors, and uni
versities in a systematic effort to
salvage the knowledge gained in war
and turn it to peace time use in order
:o awaken the nation's latent in
dustrial power."
And the research laboratories of
the land are to play a large part in
this invaluable work. It is the high
est tribute this country ever paid
to those scientific workshops and to
the men in them—scientists, fengin
eers, experimenters, in a word "In
ventors'"—who were once scorned as
futile, puttering fellows by all-wisa
Business.
For years these industrial "inven
tion shops" of America have been
conscientiously at work pioneering
constantly into the unknown, pro
ducing achievments of industrial
value or of purest science or noth
ing, as success attendeil or failed
to attend their efforts. The great
laboratories of the United States
Steel Corporation showed how to
build better rails and more dependa
ble frames for sky scrapers. Those
of the Du Pont interests produced
more serviciable explosives and a
wider range of valuable by-products.
The Eastman laboratories continu
ously make photography easier and
more accurate. Swift and Compa
ny's "inventors" do wonders with
foods.
The General Electric Company's
275 scientists engineers and allied
workers, both men and women
in the big laboratory at Schenec
tady, save the country a billion dol
lars every year on its electric light
bills through improvements in in
candescendent lamps. And so it
goes, the nation over. More than
1200 companies have laboratories.
More than 9000 men and women
work in them. They serve the
people of the whole world by cheap
ening and bettering goods, finding
substitutes more satisfactory than
original products and continually giv
ing humanity more comfort, more
happiness ar.d more to live for.
OAK RIDGE DEFEATED
BY GUILFORD SECONDS
Game Close and Hard Fought
Throughout
As the prelimenary to the opening
of the varsity basketball season the
Guilford second team met Oak Ridge
here January 13 and administered a
defeat, 29 to 28.
The team put up a hard scrap
from the beginning, and numerous
fouls were called on both sides.
Throughout the first half the scoring
ran neck and neck. The Oak Ridge
boys seemed to have the greater
nilmber of chances but were unable
to find the basket most of the time,
so that at the end of the first half
the score was tied.
At the beginning of the second
half the visitors spurted into the
lead and by means of some active
floor work managed to pocket the
ball for several points margin.
The Quakers found themselves how
ever in time to overtake the lead
and make the game safe by one point.
"Shorty" Frazier was the outstand
ing man for Guilford. His playing
was hard and consistent and a
greater part of the goals made go
to his credit. Mackie played a good
game at center, increasing in speed
toward the last of the game and
showing more accuracy in shooting.
Hood and Rector played a strong
game for the visitors.
The line up: Oak Ridge—Hood,
left forward; Shields, right forward.
Potts, center; Warren, right guard;
Rector, left guard.
Guilford—Hayworth, left forward;
Frazier, right forward; Mackie. cen
ter; Kendall, right guard; Ferrell,
left guard.
Field goals: Hcod 4; Shields 3;
Parks 4; Rector 1; Frazier 7; Mackie
6; Fouls—Hood 4; Frazier 1; Mack
ie 2.
Substitutions:
Guilford—Thomas for Hayworth.
Crews for Thomas; Payne for Ken
dall; Tate for Crews.
Referee—Stuart.
FRENCH REPLACED BY ENGLISH
At many international conferences
in the past French has been the only
laguage used by the delegates at
their meetings—for the good reason
that there was no other that all of
them knew. In more recent years
it has been the custom to establish
intercommunication between the dele
gates by means of interpreters, and
usually it was the English who had
most need of such services. In
Washington the situation has chang
ed. The one language that almost
all of the delegates know Is not
French, but English, and if it were
not for the French delegates there
would be no need to call in an
interpreter for anybody. In this the
Frenchmen will see a threat that
not for long will their admirable
tongue retain the proud distinction
of being "the lanae of diplomacy."
Perhaps it already has lost that dis-
tinctjion, in actuality if not in
theory. From one point of view
tl.is is to be regretted. The change
imposes upon the statesmen and
representatives of the world's several
nations the task of learning, in ad
dition to their own language, an
extremely difficult one, instead of one
that is comparatively easy to acquire.
Henry Ford suggests that the
material that goes into the manu
facture of waships and other im
plements of warfare be made into
agricultural implements.—thereby lit
erally fulfilling the prophecy of
Isaiah.
More than 85 per cent of runa
way marriages are failures, accord
ing to Dr. Geo. Clarke Houghton,
pastor of the Little Church around
the Corner in New York City, who
has made a study of elopement.
GIRLS' BASKETBALL
TOMH
Two Games Already Played
At the opening of the girls' basket
ball' season the sixty girls who play
basketball were divided into eight
teams. Many have been coming out
for practice and much interest being
taken. A tournament which will
determine the best team of the
eight is being played now.
On January 17 team V lost to
VII lost to team VI. score 10 and 6.
team VIII, score 17 and 8. Team.
All of the teams played well even
though some of the players were not
very experienced. They showed much
improvement for the short time of
practice. There are many excellent
players among these groups and
some very interesting and exciting
games will be played.
Tuesday January 17. the other four
teams will play. This will end the
first round of the tournament. The
second tournament will be played
January 19. The date for the final
game has not yet been determined.
Line up:
Team No. VI. Team No. VII

$7,000,000 FOR FARMERS
Approval of advances for agricul
tural and livestock purposes and to
finance sugar beet growing aggre
gating more than $7,000,000 has been
announced by the War Finance Cor
poration. Of this total. $4,050,000
will be advanced at once in the Utah
sugar bee growing districts. The
agricultural and livestock advances
were distributed as follows: Oregon,
$248,000; Montana, $12'0,000; New
Mexico, $112,000; Wisconsin, $25,
000; Missouri, $272,000; Illinois,

$20,000; Texas, $730,000, Georgia,
$67,000; Louisiana, $34,000. Florida,
$25,000; and North Carolina, $50,000.
ONIL A FEW UNIDENTIFIED
Of all the American soldiers killed
in France, only 3,089, or a little over
- per cent in death were unidentified
by their camrades, and now are re
ported as "missing" by the War
Department, and of necessity burried
beneath white crosses on which no
name could be written. A few, no
body knows just how many, but not
enough appreciably to raise the ratio
of the unidentified dead, were in
such immediate contact with high
explosives at the moment when ter
rific energies were releaser! that they
could not be burried at all.
Identification was usually possible
in the late war because each soldier
was tagged with a metal disk bear
ing his Regimental and Company
number.
Construction of highways to the to
tal value of $7(5,400,000, covering
6,261 miles and employing more
than 150,000 workers, is about to
be undertaken by 30 States, as the
direct result of the recent passage
of the Federal Highway Act. This
was recommended by the President's
Conference on Unemployment as an
emergency measure to provide jobs
for the nation's unemployed.
