FOOTBALL WARRIORS ARE
f PREPARING TO INVADE
TRINITY'S BATTLEGROUND
Coach Doak Teaching His
Cohorts Bag of New
Gridiron Tricks
For two weeks now Coach Doak
has been having his football men
' packing the soil on Hobbs field in
preparation for the first clash of
tie season with Trinity which takes
place on the Methodist battlefield.
So far the activity of the squad has
been mostly of a toughening nature,
drill in position and technique of
the game, Coach Doak has been
showing the pigskin artists some new
tricks which he got while attending
the football summer school at Notre
Dame university.
Scrimmage will begin this week
ccording to the mentor and will
e held twice before Sunday. Then
he next week will be almost all
scrimmage tapering off in time to
iiieet the sons of Trinity on the fol
owing Saturday.
The team that will probably line
p in practice scrimmage posing as
tie varsity follows: ends, Fred
llhomas and Charles (Block) Smith;
ar kles, Herring and Neese; guards,
(ray Shore and Jack Harrell; center,
Warrick. In the backfield will prob
bly be found Captain Mcßane and
Tom English as halfbacks, Paul
King at quarterback and Woody
t fullback.
In the scrub team there are some
pushers for the varsity and any
iine-up is apt to shift before the
first battle. Tom English is at
resent punting for the varsity and
e shakes a wicked boot.
HISSES POLK. SOLES AND
ROBINSON AT COLUMBIA
Miss Bessie V. Noles, for six years
erd of the department of economics
t Guilford college left for New
York on the 17th of September, to
take up her studies at Columbia
niversity. She will resume courses

nomics and work toward a master's
degree.
During her residence in New York,
Miss Noles will have as her room
mates and fellow students at Colum
b a, Miss Mary Aline Polk and Miss
\ irginia I. Robinson. Miss Polk,
who holds a master's degree from
Leland Stanford University, will (
ontinue her studies with the idea of !
a doctorate in English. During Miss ;
Polk's three years at Guilford she
introduced many new features into
the English department.
Miss Robinson, who was physical i
director for the girls during the j
past two years at Guilford, will take I
courses in art with the intention of [
obtaining a master's degree in this
field of work. The three of them I
will remain in New York during the |
e tire winter and quite possibly a j
] irt of the following summer.
Nature knows neither revenge
nor piety.
So far as economic conditions!
will permit, a young man should
lie as careful selecting his em-j
plover as his school.
