Methodists. As a result this week
will be one of gruelling practice in
preparation for the initial struggle.
Football training at Guilford open
ed September 3. The squad now
numbers thirty-five husky pigskin
chasers who are rapidly rounding
into form under Coach Doak's daily
program. Many shifts have been
necessary in both line and back field
this year but prospects for a winning
team is encouraging.
All of last year's line men ai;e back,
but only Purvis of the old backfield
reported this year. Guilford lost J.

guard; Smith, guard; Warwick, cen
ter; J. W. Frazier, end; B. C. Shore,

The men of last year's scrub team
who are showing up well are Prin

Ragsdale, center; and Knight, Thom
as and Casey in the back field. Of
the new men, Johnson, half back from
the Asheboro high school, Horrell,
guard from Goldsboro high, and

Athletic Association Opens
i Campus Store
i _
Under the direction of Prof. L. L.
. White and Coach Doak a college
store supplying ice cream, candies,
cakes, and fruits to the students, has
been opened up in one side of Arcn
dale Hall for the benefit of the Men's
1 Athletic Association.
Henry Tew, of Goldsboro, who has
charge of the store, reports that the
business is thriving due to the pat
ronage of almost the entire college,
comunity. Even Mis Louise has
agreed that on Monday and Friday
afternoons the girls may cross over
and satisfy their appetites, which
adds considerable to the volume of
business.
The directors had two purposes
in view when arrangements for a
store on the ampus were made, The
first one was to raise more money
, for the Athletic Association, while
I the second which is of almost equal
, importance, was to keep the students
. on the campus and prevent the ex
tended trips to the neighboring stores
, which often infringe upon the #tudv
, hour.

PROMINENT ENGLISH
FRIEND VISITS GUILFORD
T. Edmond Harvey Speaks
on Conditions in
Europe
The college was fortunate to have
as a visitor last Tuesday a distin
guished Friend from London, T. Ed
mond Harvey. Mr. Harvey has been
a member of Parlament and is a very
widely known speaker. He addressed
the student body at the chapel hour,
telling of the poverty striken people
of Europe and of the evils present
there.
The great trouble in Europe is a
spiritual one, not economic, said Mr.
Harvey.
Europe's love of money and pos
sessions was the real cause of the war.
Now the countries are poverty strick
en and in distress. Mr. Harvey points
out that one country cannot stand by
and see another suffer. America must
share in the distress of Europe.
Mr. Harvey spoke again at the
church Tuesday afternoon on the
"Heart of Quakerism." He told of
the life and ideals of George Fox and
other early Quakers, and of the ideals
of the Friends' Church today. "Per
sonality ', says Mr. Harvey, "is the
great keyword of our age; it is the
greatest thing, the part of Christ in
General Interest in Sports
Prevail
The whir of racquets, the smack of
bare hands on pig-skin, and the dull
crack of play-ground ball bats are the
familiar rounds that greet the ear
from the athletic field. College teams
are in the making and every student
is a prospect. Scores of students
crowd the different fiields, anxious
to show their ability. No less anx
ious stands the coach, eagerly look
ing among the new comers for more
speed, skill and endurance. Athlet
ics have again come into their own,
and due to the efforts of Coach Doak.
the response of the students, and the
backing of the faculty and alumni,
Guilford's teams this year should
break all past records.
Especially is there much expected
ot the tennis team. Last year an en
thusiastic effort was made to create
a greater interest in tennis. The di
rect effort of the drive can be seen
in the crowded courts. Thirty men
are out fighting for a berth on the
regulars. Although the team lost two
good men last year, Brown and Zach
ary, yet the new material shows prom
ise of making up the loss. The old
men that are back show a marked
improvement over their last Spring
form.
Another game, play-ground ball,
has been introduced and is proving
very popular with the base ball fa
natics. Many of the basketball play
ers also find this game pleasant pas
time and a sure way of gaining wind
for their more strenuous game. With
tennis, volleyball, play-ground ball,
and football raging, athletics cnotrol
conversation.
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Farlowe of
High Point visited Miss Vera Far
lowe and Wray Farlowe Sunday.
Frank Lamons, who is a former
Guilford student, has been at the col
lege recently.
SOCIAL CALENDAR OPENS WITH
RECEPTION 10 NEW STUDENTS
Many Alumni Return for
Annual Event
Saturday night, September 16,
marked the real, if not the chrono
logical opening of Guilford College.
In honor of the new students the Y.
W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. gave thier
annual reception in the college li
brary. Escorted by an old student,
every new student was greeted at the
door by Dr. and Mrs. Raymond Bin
ford. Dr. L. L. Hobbs, who stood
next in the receiving line, composed
of the entire faculty, also welcomed
all the students back to the Guilford
fellowship.
Each new student, having been
made to feel welcome and at ease,
was given a small book with a pencil
attached and a process of informal
and wholesome introduction was in
order.
Music furnished by the college or
chestra and punch served copeously
kept things at a high tide of enjoy
ment. A beautifully lighted campu3
under a dreamy moon proved not un
conducive to the large number of old
students and friends of the college.
The classes of 'l9 and '22 were es
pecially well represented.
Co-eds Show Much Interest
in Sports
Under the direction of Miss Vir
ginia I. Robinson, physical director
for women, the work of the Women's
Athletic Association is starting with
unusual vim.
Gymnasium classes have been or
ganized in which every girl in the
freshmen, sophomore and prepara
tory classes are enrolled. Prepara
tory to enrollment in these classes
all new girls have received a thor
rough physical examination. Dr.
Williams, the examinating physician,
says of the entering class, "It seems
that the pick of the physical woman
hood has come to Guilford College
this fall."
Much interest is being manifested
in sports. Baseball is proving es
pecially popular. About 40 girls ap
pear for practice every Tuesday and
I hursday afternoons. As soon as the
tennis courts are in condition tennis
will also take its place.
Hiking is also a favorite form of
exercise with Guilford co-eds. A
large number are out for letters in
this sport and have set the 400-mile
mark as their goal. Others find it
a pleasant way to earn their required
hours in exercise.
Sophomores Elect Officers
On Wednesday evening, Sept. 20.
the Sophomore class met for the
first time this year in the student's
parlor of Pounders Ilall for the pur
pose of reorganization. John Rey
nolds, vice-president, acted as chair
man and conducted the business ses
sion. The following officers were
elected to fill offices during the first
semester:
President, Robert Marshall; vice
president, Russell Branson; secreta
ry, Olive Jenette; Treasurer, Frank
Casey;marshal, Edward Holder.
After the business session the class
