Guilforti, although fighting des
perately, was forced to bite the
dirt before the wild rush of the
Wake Forest warriors. The
Crimson and Gray machine en
tered into the game with the de
termination to repeat their stunt
of last year in holding the Wake
Forest eleven to a tie. Through
out the first quarter it looked as
if she would make good her in
tentions, for during that time
the ball remained near the center
of the field. If anything the
oval was in Wake Forest's terri
tory more than it was in Guil
ford's. At this point a new line
of offensive tactics were called
on.
Baptists Spot Weakness
This first quarter was long
enough for Wake Forest to
spot where inexperience was most
prominent. Acting on this know
ledge. she uncorked a series of
trick plays, and forward passes.
These fake plays, well inter
mingled with snappy passes, con
fused the Quaker eleven, and
from this point on she was no
match for her opponent. Coupled
with this Wake Forest had the
breaks of the game in three in-,
stances, which cost Guilford a
touchdown in each case. They
were the recovery of a Guilford
fumble near her line, the inter
cepting of a forward pass after a
Quaker man had slapped it down,
the blocking of a kick on Guil
ford's five yard line.
Special mention is due to the
Wake Forest backfield. These
men were on the job all the
time, and would be an asset tu
any team.
Guilford Honors
For Guilford the tackling of
Xeese, and Smith in the line,
and the punting of Lassiter were
worthy of mention.
Pate, and Herrin. both new
men, deserve much credit. These
men played a remarkably good
game, and proved that they
would soon be a big asset to the
Ouai er squad,

TOUR OF CALIFORNIA
TAKEN RT STUDENT RODY
Tilman Hobson Gives Illus
trated Lecture on the
Great West
Mr. Tilman Hobson, the evan
gelist who has been doing
such commendable work in the
Friend's Church here for the past
two weeks, gave an interesting
lecture his last Saturday night
here, October 6, in Memorial
I Hall. In this beautifully illus
trated lecure Mr. Hobson took
the audience on an imaginary
trip to California and brought
them back.
At eight o'clock a picture of
one of the special western trains
was thrown on the screen. Then,
after settling themselves comfor
tably in their imaginary Pullman
seats, the would-be travellers
saw the natural wonders of
America all across the continent.
The slides were exceptionally
well chosen for a lecture of this
kind, most of them being painted
in the natural colors. The most
! impressive were those of the
Grand Canyon and Yellowstone
Park, which never lose their im
posing grandeur no matter how
often they are shown. There were ,
also interesting ones of fruit
farms, and of • the mountainous
sections of California.
In his own humorous way,
Mr. Hobson kept his audience of
college students and community
people engaged and amused for'
nearly two hours. After it was
over, everyone felt as if he had 1
been in touch with the far west
more intimately than be had been
before.
Each prospective traveler was
asked to pa}' an entrance fee of
twenty-five cents, which, in this
day of expensive railroad trips,
is comparatively nothing for a;
round trip ticket to California.
The money will be used by Mr.
and Mrs. Hobson for the expen
ses of their real journey west
after the evangelistic meetings
close here on Monday night.

Miss Maie Hollady spent the
week-end in Greensboro.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C. OCTOBER 10, 1923
FILIPINO QUARTET COMES TO
GUILFORD WITH VOCAL AND
INSTRUMENTAL SELECTIONS
Artists are Graduates of a
Spanish Conservaatory
In Manila
The advent of the Mindoro
Filipino Quartet promises the
subscribers to the local Lyceum
course a treat at once novel, en
tertaining and instructive when
they appear here on the evening
of the '2oth, in the first number
11 of the series.
The members of this unique
organization are graduates of the
Spanish conservatory at Manila,
the leading musical school of the
1 Philippines, and have acquired
g from their foreign masters a
A thorough knowledge of the best
; modern music.
Moreover, each of these young
artists has been interested in the
f folk music of their native country
and delight in nothing more than
to acquaint their American audi
ences with the haunting melodies,
the romantic love songs and the
ballads of battle, that were
. played and sung -in these Isles
r de Oriente centuries before they
, became the possessions of the
t conquering Spaniards.
, I Travelers to those distant
[ shores tell us one of the most
1 characteristic sights of the Phil
. ippines is that of a native
; family resting under the tall
. palms that fling their shadows
: over wayward streams and listen
ing in the moonlight to the
l father's guitar as there wells
; from it the ancient airs that are
still the precious heritage of the
. people.
! Their quaint and weird instru
( ments give forth a sound that is
f fascinating to the unaccustomed
ears of Americans, and never
fails to fascinate. There is the
, "Ciiiitarra nga P>octot." the hunch
backed guitar, the twelve-string
ed Banduria, the Banjo or Bass
. guitar, and the Laud or small
, guitar. '

For Presentation
COMEDY IN THREE ACTS
Miss Hoffmann to Direct;
Professor J. D. White,
Business Manager
"Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh," a
comedy in three acts and one
setting, by Henry James Smith,
will be given in Memorial Hall
on November 24, under the aus
pices of the Y. W. C. A. Mary
Lou Wilkins will head the cast
in the titular role. Miss Hedwig
H. Hoffmann will direct the play
during its preparation.
The play, "Mrs. Bumpstead-
Leigh," deals with the ambition
of a Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh, to
obtain social security for her sis
ter, Violet. Through various
hilarious funny scenes Mrs.
Bumpstead-Leigh directs the des
tinies of the characters and comes
out victorious in the end, with re
strictions. The leading lady's
name is suggestive of her charac
ter. Ai ' iic Highly comical chaiac
ter remarks: "I am so glad to
meet a lady with a hyphenated
j name."
Vulgar to Elite
In the privacy of her boudoir,
Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh is Mrs.
Bumpstead, of Missionarv Loop,
I iid., frank, unfinished, vulgar
and coarse. In the drawing room
she is Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh, of
Trumpington-on-Swell. England,
socially elect, well poised, polish
ed, brilliant, and superb in gen-
I eralship.
Mrs. Fiske played triumphantly
through a season on Broadwav
in the leading part of this play,
acting the role with unusual
| success. Since that time Mrs.
I'iske has continued to hold her
supremacy on the stage in such
plays as "Little Miss X' Orleans,"
and is at the present time playing
"Mary, Mary Quite Contrary" in
New York.
Is She Delia Sayles?
I hose who saw Mrs. Fiske in
this play still remember her deft
handling of the second act. In
this act, Delia Sayles cornices
Mr. Swallow, a one time fiancee
and on whose lap she had sat
many many times, that she is
not Delia Sayles, but Mrs. Bump
stead-Leigh of Trumpington
on-Swell, England. Mr. Swallow
retreats before the onslaught of
Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh having
as her weapons, the lorgnette
and English phrasing.
Ihe play was produced at
Ilaveford College in the spring
of 1021 by the Cap and Bell
Dramatic council with great suc
cess. Incidentally, a man took
the leading part.
1 lie scenery will consist of one
interior drawing room set, with
no changing of furniture. This
will eliminate any unnecessary
waits between acts.
