Guilford Wins Costly
Victory From Catawba
Three Men Injured, Weakens Outlook
for Wake Forest Game
In a football game featured by
numerous fumbles and penalties,
Guilford College won over Catawba
College on Welch Field in' High
Point, Saturday, October 21, by a
score of 13 to 0.
This was the third game of the
season and the second victory for
the Quakers. During the first quar
ter, Catawba put up a strong fight,
and this, coupled with penalties, kept
the ball in Guilford's territory most
of the time.
Catawba was once within ten yards
of the goal but could not put the ball
over. In the last three quarters
Guilford's superiority asserted it
self. Catawba resorted to the de
fensive play throughout, punting con
sistently.
In the latter part of the second
quarter, Coach Doak's boys seemed
to find themselves and started an ad
vance that netted them a touchdown.
A pass and two long runs put the
ball within striking distance of the
goal. Jut here the driving power
of Captain Mcßane enabled him to
TRINITY TENNIS MEN
TO MEET GUILFORD
Through a misunderstanding be
tween Lenoir and Trinity, the latter
has had to postpone here western
tennis trip for one week. This neces
sitates the scheduling of the Trinity-
Guilford match for Thursday, Oct.
26.
Although preparations had been
made to receive Trinity last Friday,
Tet this unexpected postponement did
not hamper the home team in any
way as they needed a few days in
which to settle the tournament which
started Monday, Oct. 16.
So far in the tournament Merri
man has easily disposed of tlie men
with whom he has been matched.
Joyec has eliminated several promis
ing new men and stands ready to
battle Merriman for a place in the
finals. The Harris-Shore match has
proved a deadlock, each man draw
ing a set to his credit when the third
set was called, on account of dark
ness, with a score of six all. Winn
who is scheduled to meet the winner
of the Harris-Shore contest, has a
strong barrier between him and the
finals.
Although the team is not definite
ly formed, yet this much is sure, that
the four men who will face a Greens
boro team on Tuesday, Elon on Wed
nesday, and Trinity on Thursday,
will be selected from the following
six men; Merrimon, Joyce, Harris,
Revnolds and Winn.
Gruilfordian Will Send
Delegate To Raleigh
At a recent meeting of the Guil

the publication should send a dele

tion of the State Inter-Collegiate
Press Association, which is to be held
at Meredith College, Oct. 26-28.
carry the ball over for the first
score. The try for point was un
successful.
The second touchdown and last
score came in the fourth quarter.
Sensational runs by Taylor and Fraz
ier advanced the ball for this touch
down, Frazier carrying it across the
goal line. A pass caught by Thomas
counted for the additional point.
Ihe game as a whole was some
what erratic and with this many pen
alties suffered by Guilford, helped
to keep the score down. The vic
tory was extremely costly, for three
of Guilford's men received injur
ies that put them out of the game.
Captain Mcßane with an injured
arch will be out of the game for
some time. Knight and Thomas
were also taken out on account of
injuries. This is most unfortunate in
view of the game with Wake For
est here the 27.
Captain Mcßane, Frazier and
Warrick deserve special mention for
the part they played in winning the

Mrs. Binford Entertains
For New Faculty
Mrs. Raymond Bin ford enter
tained in honor of the new faculty
members, Miss Katherine Ricks,
Mme. B. de Duras Hoffmann and
Miss Hedwig Hoffmann, on Tues
day afternoon, October 17, from 4:30
to 6 o'clock. A large number of
ladies from the college and commu
nity were present as guests.
During the afternoon delightful re
freshments of lemon sherbet and
macaroons were served to the guests
by the girls of the senior class.
Rehearsals Begin for
'Daddy Long Legs'
Two acts of "Daddy-Long-Legs"
are under rehearsal. By November
5, it is planned that all four acts
will be under way and by November
16, Fred Winn, the hero, will be
proposing to Hope Motley, as Judy,
at least twelve times a week.
The first is coming on slowly
while the second act is still in the
preliminary stages. However, the
orphans of act one are so well train
ed that "Mrs. Lippett" has "kindly
consented" that Judy may go to col
lege. Fred Winn and Hope Motley,
the two leads, have developed such
a satisfying understanding of each
other that it does not take glasses to
see that Jervis, otherwise Fred, great
ly admires Judy's, otherwise Hope's,
mop of red hair. They manage to
say quite flattering things to each
other by the end of the second act.
If they continue to use such dulcet
tones in die second act we fear the
third and fourth acts will not be
necessary to convince everybody.
Fred proposes delightfully. How
ever, the third and fourth acts are es
sential to see how well Nell Carroll
can be an old maid or how well Ner
eus English can be a butler.
Carl Cox, ex-24, was a visitor on
the campus Sunday evening.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 25, 1922
STUDENTS TAKE ANNUAL
HIKE TO BTTTLEGROUND
Come Home By Longer
Saturday afternon the student
body made its annual trip to the
Battleground, the main features of
which were the long hike and a wein
er roast.
After an early dinner, students and
teachers gathered in front of Found
ers' Hall, from which point the pro
cession started off in twos and threes.
Soon, some of those who had never
tried hiknig for a "G," began to lag
behind and were picked up by the
wagon. It was a great relief when
the Battleground was finally sighted,
and the party stopped under the big
oaks by the side of the road.
But the new students could not
long be content with such inactivity
and were soon scattered in all di
rections, from the store tao the far
thest corner of the park, investiga
ting the inscriptions on the monu
ments, and pursuing the gentle art
of kodaking. Soon a group had dis
covered a canoe which they immed
iately put into use by going boat rid
ing 011 the lake.
At 4 o'clock a campfire was made.
Boys with pocketknives were dis
patched to the woods for weiner
sticks for themselves and compan
ions. The "hot dogs" soon began to
sizzle over the coals, and the aroma
of coffee brought the stragglers in
for refreshment.
At last when the sun was getting
low the hikers took the trail for
home by the longer route. About
6:30 they began to straggle in, very
foot-sore and weary, but not too
tired to enjoy the good supper await
ing them.
LYCEUM COURSE 10 ADO
THE DEVEREUX PLAYERS
The Devereux Players, who will
stage "Romeo and Juliet," by Wil
liam Shakespere and "Arms and the
Man," by Bernard Shaw, in Memo
rial Hall, Guilford College, Novem
ber 1, have been added to the regu
lar college Lyceum course.
The Shakesperian play will be giv
in the afternoon. Mr. Devereux
will play the ardent lover to Miss
Zanita Graf's Juliet, and there is no
doubt but that the old hall will be
treated to a most satisfying balcony
scent. Mr. Devereux is supported
by a company of fourteen.
On the evening of November 1 at
8:30, "Arms and the Man," by Ber
nard Shaw will be presented. "Arms
and the Man" in a satirical comedy,
relating the experiences of a Servian
refugee soldier in the home of a rich
Bulgarian enemy. Mr. Shaw's abil
ities as a humorist are brought into
full play and by the end of the play
he has made the audience laugh so
heartily that it forgets every once in
a while that he is making fun of a
few modern conventionalities.
Those not possessing Lyceum tick
ets will be charged $1 for one per
formance or $1.50 for the two enter
tainments.
The college students, having al
ready purchased their Lyceum ticket
at registration, will be charged only
50 cents extra for the two perform

Ralph Parker, Jeremiah S. Cox, Will
Blair and Paul Lindley were the mem
bers of the trustees present at the sec
ond annual joint meeting of the trus
tees, the executive committee of the
alumni, the advisory committee and
the faculty, held at the college Wed
nesday, Oct. 18.
The meeting was opened at 10
o'clock by Dr. Hobbs in a period of
devotion. The election of officers for
the year followed, when J. Elwood
Cox was reappointed chairman and
David White, secretary.
The principal matter to claim the
attention of the morning meeting was
a report from the preliminary com
mittee, appointed some time ago to
prepare the way for an endowment
campaign, to be undertaken this
fall. Dudley D. Carroll and J. Ell
wood Cox gave a report of their i-e
--cent trip to New York where they vis

Shores To Fill Gaps
In Guilford Team
"Babe" Shore, Guilford's big tac
kle is now hitting the line regularly
and preparing for the fight next Fri
day. Clyde Shore, last year's end
man, is also in training. With these
two valuable men back, Coach Doak
expects to fill the vacancies caused
by injuries in the Catawba game,
Saturday's victory proved a most
expensive one for the Quaker team.
With Knight and Mcßane out of the
game for two weeks or more, and
Thomas severely injured, Guilford
bids fair to pay heavily in this week's
game.

Represented in Joint Conference
place before them the needs and con
ditions at Guilford.
J. Ellwood Cox is planning a visit
to the Hon. Elihu Root as soon as
arrangements can be made in order
that he may lay before him the
claims of Guilford. Mr. Cox has
letters of introduction that highly
recommend not only the college but
Mr. Cox himself. Mr. Root is an
influential member of the Carnegie
Corporation and a visit to him is
made in an effort to turn every
stone, that can be moved, to the ad
vantage of Guilford.
Encouraging reports were made
that indicate that several of the old
friends of Guilford are still very
much interested in the welfare of
the college and are ready to be called
on when the time conies.
As a result of the discussion of the
morning the meeting was prepared
to take action after lunch, and ap
pointed a committee to prepare, or

THREE FACTORS IN MODERN
LIFE DENOUNCED IN CHAPEL
I Nationality, politics, and denom
inationalism are the three things
| above all others that have enslaved
the minds of men," said Prof. Ans
! combe in a chapel talk Wednesday
morning, October 18.
".Nationality or patriotism is twist
ed, warped and abused. Nationality
is an accident. Our race, time and
place of birth are beyond our
choice, said Mr. Anscombe.
"A person's mind cannot be free,
as long as it is hemmed in bv nation
ality. Love of country does not
mean hatred of neighboring coun
tries. as the people of Euj-ope seem
to think. He cited the present sit
uation in the Balkan states as an il
lustration of the wrong kind of nat
ional spirit, and said that there could
be no lasting peace until the schools
and colleges show that humanity is
greater than nationality.
In regard to politics, he said a
person should keep his mind free
and unprejudiced, that he should
know for what the different parties
stand, that a person's mind cannot
be free when he does not know the
policy ol the other party. Me stated
that no party could succeed which
depended upon sectionalism for its
appeal.
He gave denom inationalism Sis
the third greatest barrier to freedom
of the mind, differentiating between
a Christianity, which binds people to
gethei and sectarianism, which drives
them apart.
On I - riday. Professor Davis read
and commented on Luke 1: 1-4 and
spoke at length on traditional inter
pretations of the Bible. He said that
there could be no freedom of mind
when one accepted' the traditional
interpretation of the Bible without
finding out for himself whether this
view of the Scriptures was the cor
rect one.
