to Trinity and to the University
of North Carolina was the start-!
ing record of the Quaker quint.
The scores follow: Trinity 30-J
17, Carolina, 50-22 Elon 30-24.
The Trinity Scrap
Both teams were off form in
shooting goals, and for this rea
son the score was small. For
wards on both teams missed easy
shots time after time and for a
period of five minutes neither
side was able to score, although
many opportunities were passed
up.
The passing and uncanny foot
work of the Methodists accounted
for their victory, although J. G.
Frazier for Guilford, traversed
the floor at will, only to lose the
ball under his opponent's basket.
He was the outstanding player on'
his team.
( iuilfonl took the lead early in
the game and for a time it looked
as if the Methodists were in for
a close scrap. The Trinity five
gained speed, however, and the
first half ended 15 to 8, in their
favor.
The guarding of Crute and the
floor work of Simpson and Bul
lock featured the game.

J. W. BAILEY, CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR OF STATE.
MAKES PUBLIC TALK HERE
Address Centered Around The
Subject, Commercialigation
Of Politics
J. W. Bailey, Raleigh lawyer and
a candidate for governor, delivered
an address at Memorial Hall
Wednesday evening, January 11, on
"The Commercialization of Poli
tics.'"
After a brief introduction by Mr.
F. S. Blair, the speaker gave illus
trations of why everyone should
take an interest in politics. "Poli
tics," he said, "is not office seeking
but management of government.
You and, all you have, are in poli
tics." In analyzing his subject he
compared commercialization of pol
itics with the commercialization of
Cod's temple by the money changers
during the life time of Christ.
"The original idea of government"
he said, "was power, but the great
men that founded this government
were God fearing men who had the
interest of the people at heart. You
cannot have a great deal of God in
your heart without having a great
deal of love for your fellowman."
He spoke of the greatness of such
men as Washington, Jefferson. Mad
ison, Marshall, and Jay. He urged
the students to study the lives of
ihese men. He said that if a stu
dent neglected to read the "Federal
ist" with the contributions of Ham
ilton, or the work of Marshall in
shaping the Constitution, he has
neglected his education. "1 would
rather have been John Marshal!
than Caesar." Some days ago, one
of the great writers of the world
named the six colossal me i of the
earth. George Washington stood
among those as one of the mightiest
of humans. This great age produc
ed men that did not think of poli
tics as personal power or personal
gain. Human rights were the
great goal of the new republic, in
stead.
"There is not a bugle blower on
earth today," he said, "There was
one, Woodrow Wilson, several years
ago. In some mysterious providence
he fell in the very day of battle.
And there is no other in the world
today." "President Coolidge." said
Mr. Bailey, "is a good man, but he
isn't a world man; he has no world
audience."
Mr. Bailey denounced such men
as Crocker of New York, democratic
political boss, and Piatt of the re
publicans. These men plaved the
political game for a selfish motive
only, and made millions at it.
Crocker went back to Ireland, manv
times a millionaire and died leaving
his fortune for his children to
fight over. Mr. Bailey also attacked
Murphy, ex-saloon man, who is
big boss for Tammany today. "There
is money in politics," he said, "bu
not in office holding."
Tn getting nearer home. Mr. Ba
ley attacked the Cape Fear an
Yadkin Valley railroad policy ai.
an example of political intrigue.
This railroad runs from Mt. Airy to
Sanford under the Southern Rail
