with strong opposition a t every
point. At times the Crimson and
Gray warriors, spurred on by the
loyal cheering of thir bat kers, play
ed the Virginians their feet,
and it would seem as if victory
would he snatched from the wreck,
but at this l>>int Lynchburg would
cut loose her doul >barreled full
hack. "Mingo" p a rker, and Guil
ford's chances were no m re.
Too Much l'" rl er
At the feet of this player can be
placed Guilford's defeat- Whenever
yards were needed, P ai "ker added
them. To every first down gained
by Lynchburg, " iir j-o' donated his
part, and that no small one. His,
special tactic Was plunging the iine.
and bv this method he added an
average of fi y e yards f° r each at
tempt. However hi* ability was
not limited to this one phase, for
in the second quarter he niade a
beautiful broken-field run of 60
yards.
"Too much Parker" coud he writ
ten through 'he entire game. Guil
ford's line was able to hold against
the other backs, tnd many times thse
were thrown for hisses, but "Mingo
passed by l'ke a and
several times penetrated deep into
Guilford's second line °f defence,
before he was stopped- He was
unquestionably one of the mostbrii- ,
liant foot-ball players seen here i"
several seasons.
Guilford's Cl>" nCe
Guilford closest chance of scor- .
ing came when Block Smith caught
a forward p ass and raced to the j
five yard line. O n the next play
one of Guilford s backs w '3s thrown (
for a ten ya'd loss. Again in the ,
closing minutes of the game, the ,
Quakers uncorked an aerial attack,
in the hopes of adding a marker.
Four straight forward-passes were |
successful, and sixtv-five yards were |
won. However on the next pass,
Clark, of Lynchburnr, made a beau- (
tifiil interception cn his forty-five s

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C. OCTOBER 26, l!v?3
I MRS. MARY ARMOR. SPEAKER
OF NATIONAL REPUTE TALKS
AT W.C.T.U, CONVENTION HERE
Mrs. Mary Harris Armor of
Georgia, Chairman of the National
] Committee of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union on Evan
gelism, who was the leading speaker
] of the W. C. T. U. state convention
i held here last week and who is
j accorded the foremost woman or
ator of America, spoke in the
church Sunday morning before ai
enthusiastic audience.
The Happy Warrior
Taking as a basis Ephesians 6t!i
chapter, verses 10-18, Mrs. Armor
spoke on "The Happy Warrior."
"The Happy Warrior," she said,
"is one who fights for a righteous
cause and such is the cause of the
Women's Christian Temperance
Union, in the fight for prohibition
and the protection of the home."
She pointed out that the reason for
the early defeat of prohibition was.
because spiritual tilings are under-1
rated. "But," she declared, "we are
marching to victory so long as we
are following our I ivincible Leader,
Jesus Christ who lias never been >
defeated."
With Girdle of Truth
"The Happy Warrior" she next
pointed out is with perfe •
equipment, that is, with spiritu.il
weapons. The "breastplate of righ
teousness requires not self-righteous-)
ness but rather that one live
right all the time keeping his
life square, clean, and honest. The
"girdle of truth" implies that men j
love the Lord Cod with all their
mind. In connection with this she
referred to the dangerous propa
ganda against prohibition now found j
in the leading magazines and pointed |
out that the wearing of the "girdle
of truth - ' implies on the part of I
the wearer the strength to answer
and help put down such propaganda.
Referring to the injunction "Hav
ing your feet shod with the pre
paration of the gospel of peace,'
Mrs. Armour said. "Only the serene
soul is strong," and continued,
"The lack of peace causes us to
lose out in the battle of life. Peace j
is dearer than joy or happiness
and nothing can destroy or disturb
it."
After the completion of the reg-1
ular program, brief speeches oft
praise and encouragement of the so- j
were highly appreciated.
The warrior's "sword of the spirit"
is the word of God and the reason,
according to Mrs. Armor, that I
people do not know how to wield

SEMI ANNUAL DRAMATIC
PRODUCTION GETS PACE
No Change In Stage Property To
Be Made During Evening
"Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh," the play

; Coliege Dramatic Council 011 No
vember 24, under the auspices of
the Y. W. C. A. comes apace. De
] tails such as dress and make-up
I are now under serious discussion.
Phe setting, which by the way re
mains stationary during the whole
play, is being arranged to give th"
proper locations. The scene used
in the conservatory scene of "The
Art of Being Rored" and the draw
ing room scene of "Clarence" will
be used with only a slight altering.
There will be 110 property changes
during the evening and this will
eliminate any waist beyond two or
three minutes between the acts.
It is about decided that Mary
Lou Wilkins as Mrs. Bumpstead-i
Leigh will wear a purple pan velvet
gown with train to offset the value
of her auburn hair. Marie Beaman.
will wear black, while Leora Sher
rill will probably wear a dress of
light shade to add to her piquancv.
Ruth Levering as the maid will
wear what all maids do, a lace cap
and quite becoming dress. Mis-*
Levering is the flirt of the play and
despite the fact that she is an
employee in the house of Mr. Raw
son, she see no reason why she
should not let the son of the hous"
make love to her. Withal it i
verv interesting, she says to have
love made to you.
Fred Winn, strictly speakina i :

flirt with the maid ard make seri
ous and romatic love to Violet,
the rebellious daughter of the house
of Savles. French Smith is the
romantic lover of the play, mar
ries the marriageable daughter of
Mrs. Sayles, and appears very love
sick at the proper time. Tom English
as the irate father does quite a bi l
of swearing up and down the stage,
much to the embarrassment of his
family and enjoyment of the audi
ence.
Miss Mary Webb Nicholson spent
Sunday at her home in Greensboro.
Miss Bessie Phipps spent the
week-end at her home near Greens
boro.
Air. and Mrs. A. B. Coltraine of

' GUILFORD HOME COMING DAY
SEES ABOUT A HUNDRED OLD
SiUDENTS HERE FOR GAME
Attendants of Old New Garden
Boarding School on Hand
"Home Coming Day" at Guilford
on November 1, was a great suc
cess for those who attended. There
were about one hundred old stu
dents who returned to the College
to witness the football game between
Lynchburg and Guilford and to at
tend the society meetings held that
night.
The attendance was not as great
| as had been hoped by those in
charge, yet in no way was the day
, discouraging. Those who attended,
were enthusiastic in their praise
of the spirit and good fellowship
that existed between the old and
I present students of the college.
Students from classes when Guil
ford was still a boarding school
participated with those of the class
of 1923 to make the day a great
success. The Walsers, Zeb and
Don, of athletic fame, were here
to welcome Tom Zachary, now pitch
ing for the Washington Nationals.
Herbert Reynolds '93 ex hnged re
miniscences with S. G. Hodgin Sr.,
who attended Guilford when the in
stitution was New Garden Boarding
School. Everyone met in good fel
lowship.
R. J. M. Hobbs Talks
The student body welcomed them
all w Ji' h unstinted enthusiasm.
R. J. M. Hobbs, who spoke at the
supper tendered the visitors after
the game, paid a tribute to the stu
dent body for its great sportsman
ship in the face of defeat on the
athletic field and its welcome ex
tended to those who had returned.
"Let me commend you," he said,
"on the good spirit, the sportsman
like attitude toward the victorious
team, and let me assure you that
the alumni is working and will
work harder for a closer bond be
tween those who have graduated
and those who are now in attend
ance."
Since his return home he ha?
written L. hea White, again thank
ing him for the royal welcome and
expressing the hope that "Home
Coming Day" will be an annual
affair.
Speaka of Athletic values
R. S. Doak, coach, spoke on the
value of the Alumni using their
greatest influence to get high school
students who play football to come
to Guilford.
Herbert Reynolds and Tom Zach
ary both touched upon the value of
athletic training and the hope that
Guilford football teams would so
on to greater things.
President Binford's Speech
President Binford in reviewing the
success of the day expressed the
views of the college administrators
and faculty.
"Next to the pleasure of going
home and "welcoming one's own
children home," he said, "is the
pleasure that we feel on seeing the
students return to the college
ground. It was a special pleasure
to greet some who had not been
with us for many years. The dis
