Guilford Team Runs Wild Piling
Up Highest Score of Season
Against Wildcats—Hard fought
Game with "Y" Men
The Guilford basketball team lost
to Charlotte Y. M. C. A. but won
Davidson College February 17, 18;
by the s ore 34 to 27 and 45 to 26.
Both games wer hard fought and
featured by hard, consistent play
ing in which the Quaker five
was able to give a good account of it
self, Although the Y. boys were able
to trim the locals by a spurt in last
five minutes of play Guilford was
in the running every minute of the
time, having the lead in a 19 to 17
score at the end of the first period
and tieing it up a couple of times
during the last half. The outcome
was doubtful until the final whistle
stopping a whirlwind comeback. In
the game with Davidson the Quakers
opened a five man offensive which
swept the Wildcats off their feet in
the beginning of the game and kept
them there till the finish. At no Lime
was Davidson's work dangerous and
Guilford through villiant team work
on the part of every man in the game
was able to pile up a 19 point mar
gin above the best efforts of the Wild
cats. ,
The game with Charlolte was one
of the prettiest games seen on that
Court this season. The Y. team show
ed superiority in experience which
figured largely in the final outcome.
The game was clean and snappv
and was by no means a walk-away
for Charlotle for, to quote from the
Charlotte paper,"At the end of the
first half the score stood 19 and 17
in favor of the visitors and Coach
Bob Doak wore a smile at least an
inch larger than his usual offering
along this time."
The Quakers started the second
half with a rush but were unable
to hold their lead and the Charlotte
team soon tied the score and then
take a two point lead. The contest
swung along in this manner till Guil
ford tied the score with another field
goal. This was the nearest the Quak
ers come to taking the lead in the
second half although at several times
the scores were only one point apart.
Toward the latter part of the game
the Y. M. C. A. team gradually in
creased their lead in which some
long shots, which luck favored, fig
ured largely and proved sufficient
to secure the necessary points. In the
last five minutes of play the guarding
of both teams became so fierce that
neither side was able to score.
J. W. Frazier playing left forward
for Guilford was easily the best man
in the game. He played the whole
floor and at the same time led the
scoring with 16 of Guilford s total
27 points, Long came next with 12
points and led the Charlotte oulfil
in tallying.
The lineup and summary follows:

Slinging from deleat suffered at
the hands of Charlotle The pre
vious night the Quakers rallied and
it was an entirely different machine
which swept through the Davidson
ildeats on their own floor to a de
cisive victory.
Without doubt the Quakers were
in the best form they have displayed
this season. Their passing gams was
swifter, cleaner and maintained with
equal brilliance throughout the en
tire contest, The smoothly running
team work swept the ball with ma
chine like precision within easy
range of the goal where k was pock-

Represent Local "Y"
The Student Section of the an
nual State Y. M. C. A. Convention
held in Greensboro, met Wednesday,
February 15. During the morning
session a general convention was held
among the delegates of the eight col
leges represented, during which the
work of each college association was
taken up seperately and discussed.
The last number on the program
for the morning was an address on
the Student Friendship Fund by Dr.
E. C. Lindeman of the North Caro
lina College. Dr. Lindeman gave
first hand information concerning
the desperate needs and almost un
bearable conditions under which
thousands of students in Central
and Western Europe are struggling,
and ended by making a plea to the
students of America to save Euro
pean civilization by sending money
and supplies to her students.
After a special luncheon served by
the Y. M. C. A., lectures were given
by Harry F. Comer of Chapel Hill
and E. S. King from N. C. State
College. Mr. Comer outlined the
''average program" for each associ
ation. This program, containing ten
points, calls for definite plans and
arrangements to be made before the
opening of school and pursued
throughout the entire year. Follow
ing, and closely connected with this
lecture, Mr. E. S. King gave consid
er; ible information concerning thjp
Blue Ridge Conference and showed
the importance of each college be
ing strongly represented.
The final and perhaps feature
number of the program was an ad
dress by Dr. J. W. Pontius of Co
lumbus, Ohio. The speaker in an in
teresting way showed the need for
action in religious and practical prob
lems and urged the members of the
Y. M. C. A. toward the successful
accomplishment of the program for
the coming year.
The convention adjourned with a
vole to have each college well rep
resented at Blue Ridse.

ket and sending of telegrams with
mottoed mints. To each of the win
ners in these games a prize was
awarded, and also one to the person
who wrote the best original valen
tine verse.
After the playing of flie games

GREENSBORO HIGH ELIMINATES
TRINITY HIGH ON LOCAL
FLOOR
Begining a series of high school
elimination games for state honors,
Greensboro defeated the Trinity Hisrh
school quint by the safe margin of
42 to 9 on the local floor, February
18th.
The game opened slow and found
both teams unable to locate the
basket. After five minutes of play
however the Greensboro lads began
to find themselves and from that
point on the outcome was never in
doubt.
Greensboro showed more familiar
ity with the floor, her passing game
was good and the accuracy of Daniel
and Britton in caging the ball, out

ZATAS ANS ENTER
TANED WEBS
TER! SOCIETY
Bi-Ennial Event Greatly Enjoyed by
Members of Both Societies
The evening of February 17, mark
ed another red letter day in the lives
of the Zatasians as the date of the
Websterian reception in their honor.
The Zatasians knew something of
the talent and work of the Webster
ians and were expecting a good time
but the evening's entertainment sur
passed all their expectations. Pres
ident Harris called the society to
order, appointed William Fishel as
critic, and delivered a few words of
welcome to the Zatasians and other
visitors.
The program could scarcely have
been improved upon. It was all the
more interesting as it was somewhat
different from the usual type of
society program. The first number,
"Wanted a Valet" was a delightful
comedy in one act in which real
humor and wit were displayed in
a very realistic manner. Tom Eng
lish's interpretation of the lawyer's
part also deserves mention. The cast
of characters was as follows.
Mr. McGinty, lawyer—Thomes
English Dick Skinner, discharged
valet- —Nereus English. George Wash
ington Congo, applicant—George
Kinney. Lewis Lewis, applicant—
Edward Hobbs. H. L. Macon then
read a poem in negro dialect by
Russell, entitled "Business in Mis
sissippi."
The third number, "Morceaux
et Ainsi de Suite" by W. L. Rudd,
consisted of items taken from a
Guilfordian of 1923. From this
paper much was learned concerning
the future activities of both Web
sterians and Zatasians.
Myron Tatum furnished the mu
sic for the evening wthi selections
from his violin. The two selections
riven were "Farewell to Thee" and
"Auld Lang Syne." Both were es
perially enjoyed.
After the regular business was fin
ished the society adjourned and all
went from Memorial Hall, where
the program was given, to the regu
lar society hall for a social hour.
Delicious refreshments were serv
ed in, three courses.

Chicken Salad Stuffed Celery
Saltines Olives

Coffee Mints
Those present besides the mem
bers of the Zatasian Society were
M iss Osborne, Miss Roberts, Miss
Polk, Prof. L. L. White and Prof.
Balderston of the college faculty,
and two old Websterians, Mr. Lime
berrv and Mr. Smith from Carolina.
' THE BONNIE BRIER BUSH
SHOWN
M iss Byrd's Singing Adds Much to
the Success of the Evening
Saturday night February the eigh
teenth the students of Guilford were
delightfully entertained with the pic
ture of "The Bonnie Brier Bush."
lan Maclaren's well known charac
ters were shown in most beautiful
Scotch settings and the story built
around them was thoroughly enjoy
able.
An added feature which proved
most popular with the audience was
Miss Byrd's singing of "Bonnie Sweet
Bessie" and "My Laddie." The latter
was especially enjoyed.
In an effort to provide music dur
ing the showing of the picture the
new Victrola belonging to the Girls'
Athletic Association played a number
cf the well known scotch airs.
Mr. Clarence Johnson was a visi
tor on the campjus Sunday.
OR. PERISHO BUSY
WITH HIGH SCHOOLS
MUCH COURTESY EXTENDED
HIM BY SCHOOL OFFICIALS
During the past week, Dr. Perisho
had been visiting the high schools of
the county under the auspices of Sup
erintendent Foust and Miss Land,
rural supervisor. Unfortunately he
was unable to reach all of the schools
due to the condition of the roads.
Dr. Perisho has previously visited
the high schools in Wayne County
with Miss Cripp who is county sup
ervisor. He has also visited some in
North Hampton and Perquimans
Counties in conjunction with the
County superintendents. Sometimes
he has addressed the school as a
whole, although at times he has spok
en to the grades and high school
students separately. Dr. Perisho says
that he has been deeply impressed by
the exceptional courtesy extended to
him by both teachers and administra
tors. Without his suggestion he has
had the privilege of interviewing the
senior classes of the respective
schools.
This week Dr. Perisho is leaving
for Randolph at the request of Sup
erintendent Fletcher Bulla, and will
visit the high schools of that county.
He will probably attend the Friends
Meeting at Marlboro the latter part
of the week.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES
The Y was fortunate in having
Dr. Binford for leader on Thursday
evening, Feb. 16.
The meeting was opened with song
after which Dr. Binford read a
chapter from Albert Parker Fitch's
book. "The College Course and Prep
eration For Life," following the
reading with appropriate remarks.
The title of the chapter read was
"Religion and Scholarship," the sub
ject being dealt with fi-om the stand
point of the undergraduate. The
author attempts to point the student
to a right solution of the problem.-s
presented by the apparent conflict
between religion and some phases of
scientific knowledge. The class room
often has an atmosphere of stern
intellectualism which serves to di
vorce religion and learning. Teach
ers have usually failed to show the
proper connection between the two.
Our public educational system has
been built upon the principle of en
tire seperation of church and state
and the religious side of education
has been left to the home and denom
inational schools. The church has
long opposed the advance of learning
along certain lines because the acV
vance threatened its old established
teachings. Modern scholars have
come to realize that the Bible is a
human production and is not infal-
lible. The real student will neither
close his eyes to advanced knowledge
nor renounce his belief in the teach
ings of the scriptures. He will find
that they are not really contradic
tory.
In his remarks Dr. Binford said,
among other things "It is a foolish
thing to try to protect the Bible and
religious truth, as if it could not
stand the tests." Regarding the ten
dency of a certain group of pious
young in en in colleger, who look
forward to a life of service, to de
preciate the patient ar.d indirect
processes of scholarship and thor
ough preparation, he said, "It is a
sad tragedy to see one so anxious to
serve in a religious field as to ruin
bis chances to serve by rushing into
the field unprepared. Such men can
not be real leaders. Many a young
man has destroyed his chance to do
Rocd in the world by rushing into
his task too soon." In conclusion,
"Religion and schol*rship must be
come as one, aiding and strength
ening each other."
HIGH SCHOOL DAY

Committees have been Appointed and
Plans Formulated for the An
nual Declamation, Track
and Basketball
Contest
The eleventh interscholastic Decla
mation Contest will be held at Guil
ford College, April 1, 1922. The
first contest of this kind held at any
college in the State was held here in
1910. The success was so great thut
the contest has become an annual
affair and each successive year has
proved a greater success than the pre
vious one. Many of the leading
High Schools of this section of the
State send representatives each year
and it is hoped that a larger number
than ever will be represented in this
next contest. Letters are now being
sent to various schools inviting them
to send contestants. Rules govern
ing the Declaimation Contest are also
being sent to the high schools. The
rules in brief are as follows:
Two preliminary contests will be
held on April 1, beginning at nine

contest. Any high school may send
two contestants, a bov and a girl.
A medal will be awarded to the suc
cessful young man by the Henry Clay
and Websterian Literary Societies
and a prize consisting of books will
be awarded to the successful voung
woman by the Zatasian and Philo
mathean Literary Societies.
At the same time an Interschol
astic Track Meet will be held for
boys and a Basketball Contest for
girls. The success of this effort was
satisfactory last year and from the
contest this year even greater success
is expected. Rules governiiiE the
