HIGH POINT COLLEGE IS
EASY VICTIM FOR COACH
DOAK S FOOTBALL ELEVEN
SCORE STANDS 75 TO 0 WITH VISIT
ORS OUT WEIGHED AND
OUTCLASSED
The High Point Methodist col
lege football team did not make a
very auspicious start in the realm
of the football world, when they
were snowed under 75 to 0 by the
Guilford Quakers on Hobbs field
Friday evening. October 24.
The game was a one sided affair
from the start to finish, with the
hall in the Methodist's territory j
practically all of the time. The
Quakers were not held for downs
during the entire game, and the
visitors were not able to make a
single first down. The Quakers
made 11 touchdowns and failed
only twice in making the extra
point. The whole team, line and
backfield showed splendid form,
with quarterback "Runt" Frazier
blazing the way, although Thomas
and Robertson made good gains.
Murray White hit his fellow-towns
men like a battering ram and the
entire Guilford line proved im
penetrable.
The game marked the first High
Point inter-collegiate game and
the Methodist's weakness was pri
marily due to this inexperience.
Their entire team showed splendid
fighting spirit and fine endurance
but lacked the sasoning of a num
br of years on the gridiron. They
made a bold stand but in experi- !
ence, weight and in skill in foot
ball tactics the Quakers proved
superior to the visitors. For the
Methodists Rogers, Housler and

r. M. CONDUCTS CHAPEL
EXERCISES ON THURSDAY
On Thursday morning the chap
el exercises were conducted by rep
resentatives of the Y.M.C.A.
The general topic was "Christ's
Way of Life." Kenneth E. Neese
the first speaker discussed the ap
plication of the Christ spirit in
athletics. He asserted that Christi
anity is now regarded as a life,
a reality, not a creed or doctrine
or promise of reward in some un
deterrmined future. He asserted
that some of the football men at
Guilford are to the best of their
ability living christian lives. He
He stated that Christ, instead of
being the genteel effeminate per
son. was a red blooded 111311 who
was alwavs willing to play his full
part in the game of life.
John F. Cude the next speaker
discussed Christ's participation in
social life. "Christ had person
ality, wisdom, ideals which meant
to him a social horizon, social
power and social aim' quoted the
speaker. He lived in a world of
so ial problems and companion
ships. He entered into both the
joys and sorrows of social life. In
conclusion he said that Christ was
not a reformer but a revealer and
His supreme aim was to disclose
to the human soul its relation to
God.
Frank Casey presented the
Cur's* spirit as love, that it will
work at all times and among
strangers. The speaker cited the
work of the Quakers in Germany
to show the practical application
of the Biblical injunction, "Love
your enemies."
"One cannot trust people, he
does not know until he has found
them out, was the old idea" he
asserted "but the Christian ideal
is to trust people till one finds
out they cannot be trusted."

ANNUAL BATTLEGROUND
HIKE IS HUGE SUCCESS
USUAL NUMBER BLISTERS AND MIS
HAPS REPORTED—NOTHING WRONG
WITH THE APPETITE
By Harvey O. Dinkins
Now that the Battleground hike
is over everyone can begin to get
back to normalcy. Of course the
direct results of the outing will
continue to crop out in divers and
sundry ways, but the mighty epi
sode itstlf is a thing of the past
and remains a matter of interest
only to memories and historians.
For a number of days prior to
the consummation of the planned
affair the campus has presented
an appearance of bustle and prep
aration. Borrowed suits have been
fitted, walking canes from the most
costly rattans to the simplest dog
wood sticks have been in evidence,
discussions as to the propriety of
wearing football suits in part or
in toto have been rife when par
ties were short of other regalia of
a nature calculated to withstand
the rustic wilds. But by dint of
feverish preparation the whole
party was well away by twelve
o'clock Saturday and the campus
was as quiet as a haunted house.
A part of the crusaders went
via horse and wagon, some traveled
a la Ford, some went in cars, some
took advantage of the jitney syn
dicate's offers and went byway of
Essex while the rest of the party
walked.
The dinner was well attended.
After consulting the records it was
found that nobody got a cut for
ibis period. The first course con
sisted of sizzling individuals of
the only specie of the canine race,
minus the appendage formed by a
continuation of the vertebrae. Fol

MR. HAWORTH DISCUSSES
PRESENT ENGLISH POLITICS
Rev. Samuel Haworth, profes
sor of Religious education, inter
estingly compared and contrasted
elections in the United States and
in England at the chapel Friday 1
mor. ing. He maintained that all
should be interested in elections,
and stated that an election will
lake place in England 0:1 Oct. 29.
Among some of the differences
of the life of England and Ameri
ca he name dthe following: elec
t 011s take place in the United States
near the end of fixed terms of
offi'e, while in England general
elections must take place at the
end of every five years and may
take place at any time, for elec
tions there may be for a referen
dum to the people or on account
of dissatisfaction with the govern
ment.
Mr. Haworth showed that while
the government in England in
cludes only the Premier and cabi
net, in the United States it includes
the various national officials.
He then named the three chief
English parties and showed for
what they stand. He stated that the
protective principle was the cause
of the downfall of the Stanley
Baldwin ministry while the Ram
say Mac Donald ministry appealed
to the country because of a vote of
censure on a trivial matter.
The speaker highly praised
Ramsey Mac Donald as premier
who has done more to stabilize
things and to bring about good
will than any English statesman in
recent years. He maintained that
the House of Commons is one of
the greatest parliamentary bodies
in the world, and that it has done
a great deal to bring about peace
ful conditions among nations.

The political fever which has

Wednesday evening when Calvin

by the Guilford student body by a
margin of 16 votes. The election
was held in the Memorial hall and

several local politicians.
Russel Branson and Allison
White representing the G.0.P., ;
presented the republican platform
and its merits, / achievements of ,
Calvin Coolidge and Charles

looked more like a political meet

were o nthe floor. Each reverted
to all the arts of flowery and emo

EURTIE DIX CARROLL DIES
AT MOUNT AIRY HOSPITAL
WAS GUILFORD GRADUATE AND ,
MATRON OF NEW GARDEN
HALL MANY YEARS
The news of the death of \lrs.
Hardy A. Carroll which occurred
on Tuesday, October 21, brought
quite a shock to her many friend?
at Guilford College and other
points through North Carolina,
she had been taking treatment in a
hospital in Mt. Airy, N. C., for
several weeks, but 110 one realized
that her condition was serious un
til a few days before her death.
Before her marriage in June,
1922, she was Burtie Ellen Dix. i
She was born September 12, 1890
at Westfield, near Mt. Airy. In
September, 1905, she entered Guil
ford College as a preparatory stu
dent. At the end of that school
year she withdrew, entering again,
as a freshman, in September, 1910.
With the exception of the year
1911-12, she remained at Guilford
until 1915, receiving the A.B. de
gree in May of that year.
The year after her graduation
Mrs. Carroll became assistant ma
tron of New Garden Hall. In 1916
she was made matron of this dor
mitory, which position she held
for three years. After her marri
age she taught for two years in the
high school at King, N. C., of
which school Hardy Carroll, her
husband, was principal.
Mrs. Carroll was a true and gen
uine Christian woman who took
an active part in the work of West
field monthly meeting of Friends,
of which she was a member.
Though very quiet and unassum
ing in her manner she was popu
lar where\er she was located. She
was mu: h beloved by the girls
who lived in New Garden hall
while she was matron there and by
her pupils in the King high school.
Her winning smile, her modesty,
and her sincerity made hers a most
pleasing personality.
She is survived by her husband,
H. A. Carroll, who graduated from
Guilford College in 1914, by a
small daughter, Burtie Ellen Car
roll born October 1 L, 1921. and
by her mother. Mrs, R. V. Mar
shall, of Westfield.
THE FUTURE IS GROUNDEU
ON THE VISIONS OF TODAY
Prof. L. Lea White spoke dur
ing the chapel period last Tues
day morning on "Visions and
Dreams." He first discussed day
dreams which according to Dr.
Stiles are a dangerous symptom.
"In dreaming, facts are arrang
ed and reorganized with forward
looking," said Mr. White. "Am
bitions are a part of day dream
ing. Ihe purpose is to satisfy a
repressed desire of some kind.
The danger dies in the fact that we
allow our activities to die with
the dream. Dream your dreams,
but make them come true. Every
accomplishment has back of it a
dream—there must be a vision be
fore each accomplishment. In day
dreams lie the vision of the future.
The great scientists of the world,
the great inventors have been
dreamers. One can't make a dream
come true unless he works.
In discussing the visions of the
past present, Mr. White said: "A
holy ambition lies back of every
vision. There is no vision unless
one is in tune with the infinite.
When the vision comes it may be
so splendid a sto be inexpressible
in words. Old men dream of the
past, the young men are the ones
who must see visions. One cannot

TOM ZACHARY. PITCHING
ACE PAYS GUILFORD SHORT
VISIT ON HIS WAY HOME
EXPLAINS PSYCHOLOGY OF WASH
INGTON'S STRENGTH; PRAISES
WALTER JOHNSON; DIS
CUSSES BASEBALL
PROFESSION
By Robert Marshall
Tom Zechery returned to Guil
ford last week just long enough
to let those who had only heard
:>f him gaze upon him with awe
and wonder and those who knew
fiim to rush gladly up to him and
ask him how he did it and how it
Felt to have been in the middle of
something that got as much pub
licity and support as Washington's
fight for the world's championship
in baseball. Through all the glad
welcoming "Zach" kept as silent
and taciturn as usual, and except
lor a short speech to the students
at supper following an ovation,
made very few public statements.
However, from devious sources
and more devious means, it was
lathered from him that the life of
a baseball star was an undepend
able one, and was only to be con
sidered as a momentary success.
"You can't tell what's going to
happen to one in the baseball
profession. Today, a celebrity, to
morrow —well baseball fans can
hange from cheers to jeers all in
one game. This fickleness of sup
porters is more noticeable in base
ball than any other public pro
fession. But even then, the play
er's lot is better than that of the
umpire, for the player does get
cheers, while the umpire's life is
"'All jeers, no cheers.'' But it's a
good life while it is cheers —and
Washington had a good many
heers this season.
"The sudden strength of Wash
ington was not so much in the ac
'ual ability of the players —al-
though the team played better ball
after they got started than ever be
fore —but in the incentive of being
on top, and having the wholeheart
ed and enthusiastic support of
fessor of education and pscho
among the most high in the re-
NY ashington, so early in the sea
-o j. It was about June 20 that we
climbed to the first place. Vi e
had been in first place before, but
not just at the stage of the season,
when first place really counted.
"You .see, we had just complet
ed our western trip, having won
three straights, and on to New
York, and there won four more,
making a total of seve ■ straight
victories. This sudden stretch of
good luk put us on top; we had
defeated strong teams, and when
ve returned to Washington we were
in the light of heroes. The people
met us at the station with cheers;
they turned out in great numbers
the next day—we won a dou
bleheader. We were succeeding,
we had the public with us, we
tightened up. with the result that
we played better ball, and —well,
we were on top looking down, and
we stayed on top."
It was a hard matter to get
Zachary to talk about individual
