THE GUILFORDIAN VOL XI. QUAKER WARRIORS HOLD HAMPDEN SIDNEY TIGERS TO ONE LONE TOUCHDOWN FAKE PASS PROVES FATAL TO GUIL FORD MEN—WHOLE MACHINE WORKS WELL Guilford lost to Hampden-Sidney by a lone touchdown in the hardest fought football game she has played this sea son. The Quaker boys went into the game with the grim determination to fight the "Tigers" to a standstill, and it was only by a lucky forward pass that the Virginians were able to register a touchdown. FIRST QUARTER The first quarter started off with a snap. By a series of line bucks and end runs the Quakers were able to carry the ball to the Tigers fourteen yard line, where Robinson, Guilford's fullback, tried for a field goal and missed. The "Tigers" were outplayed in the first quarter. SECOND QUARTER In the sceond quarter Hampden-Sid ney got the ball and after several tries Holladay got away with a 29 yard run, which placed the ball on Guilford's 10 yard line. From here a fake cross buck resulting in a forward pass, Dud ley to Richagdson, made the tally. They failed in the try for the extra point. The Quaker linemen rushed through and blocked the place kick. The "Ti gers" outplayed the Quakers in this quarter. THIRD QUARTER The honors for the third quarter were equally divided, both teams were un able to gain much ground. FOURTH QUARTER In the fourth quarter both teams re corted to the air. Practically every thing tried were forward passes, and neither team was able to produce a touchdown by the aerial route. Guilford's whole team played a cred itable game. Frazier, speedy quarter, and Robertson, half back, lead the of fense. Frazier was able to circle the end for some substantial gains. Rob ertson did excellent defense work. He also punted well. Warrick was the outstanding star player in the line. Several times this hefty "football ace" from Goldsboro plunged through the enemy's line to throw the "Tigers"' for a loss. Capt. Smith, although hindered by a sprained ankle sustained in the early part of the conflict, stayed in the game and fought them to the last minute. Herring, Tew and Reese also played a great offensive game. It was the hard working spirit of these men with the remainder of the line that was able to (Continued on patro tliroa) y ,W, C. A .GIRLS PRESENT PROGRAM AT CHAPEL The Y.W.C.A. presented a very inter eting chapel program Thursday when its history and hopes hor the future were given in pantomime form. Maude Simpson acted as interlocu uter and as she read, the story was act ed out on llie stage. Many of the cos tumes were of antique style, which brought much laughter from the stu dent body. The program was not only entertain ing but it imparted some valuable information, for very few on the campus were aware that the Y.W.C.A. had es tablished the Battleground hike, the Dramatic Council, the Young Women's Athlet.c Association and the opening reception for new students. The "\ hopes to have a new hall in the near future as the present one is wholly inadequate. Several plans have been presented to relieve the situation. Among them; a "Y" hall in the new gymnasium or in King hall when it is finished. The plan favored by a ma jority of the girls, however, is the build ing of a hut. GulLi-OKD COLLEGE, IN. C., NOVEMBER 12, 1924 J. W. HARVEY THEODOLD IS GUEST OF COLLEGE NOTKD ENGLISH FRIEND (JIVES IN TERESTING LECTURE ON "HIS TORY OF QUAKERISM" J. W. Harvey Theodold of London, England, secretary of the English | Friends Temperance Society, was a visitor at Guilford College from Sunday till Wednesday of last week. Mr. Theobold during his visit address ed the faculty and students at the chap el periods on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and gave on Tuesday even ing a very interesting illustrated lecture on high spots in the history of the Quaker church. In his chapel talk on Monday he dis cussed some of the social problems of today. The speaker urged against liv- ; ing dangerously, indulging in things that are detrimental to the fuller and higher life of man. "Jazz is to be de plored," he maintained, "as it is a ten dency which destroys the beauty of life." Mr. Theobold stated that he sometimes doubted whether people have any ideals today, especially when the spirit of "jazz" is even allowed to invade relig ion, not to mention its influence on art and music. After quoting from the "Vision of Sir Launfal," he concluded with the plea for higher ideals, for the ideal of serving God through service for one's fellow men, and in this way making life more beautiful. The subject of Mr. Theobold's chapel talk on Tuesday was "Loyalty." He asserted that loyalty is loved by every one who is interested in law and order. The speaker maintained that those who | braved the scorn of their countrymen in i the Great War, and acted according to the dictates of their consciences would ! he respected in the future- Mr. Theobold questioned whether the i King of kings were not often displaced in the minds of men by loyalty to self. He cited two young Englishmen who be ! came powerful figures in the field of journalism and business as examples |of those who live only for self. But the great newspaper man died broken (Contm'ird on paga fiurl VIRGINIA RODINS TO GIVE FIRST CONCERT DEC. 10 Tlie Virginia Robins orchestra will ! make its formal bow to the public in a concert December 10.

M. in Ohio; Western Y. M. in Plain field. Ind.; Indiana Y. M. in Richmond, fnd.; and lowa Y. M. in Oskaloosa, lowa. At these different meetings Dr. Perisho gave both educational and relig ious addresses. At the close of the lowa Y.

He has returned to Guilford College and will work in the interest of Cuilford both on and off the campus. At present he is teaching a course in Geology, but later he will probably do quite a bit of traveling for the college, speaking to the monthly meetings, high schools and various clubs and organizations of the state. MISS ELLIOTT DISCUSSES NOVA SCOTIA AT CHAPEL Miss Elliott of the Language depart ment had charge of chapel exercises Friday morning and talked to the stu dents about Nova Scotia, where she has spent the last five years. She read a humorous selection from Thomas Chal mers Haliburtons, "The Clockmaker" or the "Sayings and Doings of Sam Slick of Slickville." MARGARET LEVERING WINS FIRST PLACE IN CONTEST INEZ WHITE WINS SECOND PLACE; WINNER GOES TO ELON Margaret Levering, "25, won first place in the Peace Oratorical con test, held in the Memorial hall Wednesday evening. Her oration, "A Service of Love in War Times," paid a i tribute to the service rendered by the Friends during the past war and after wards in the reconstruction of France and the feeding of the German children. Universal brotherhood was held out as a means of permanent peace. Carrie Norman, the first speaker, in ] "On the Eve of Peace," pointed out | that just as the individual had found other methods than dueling for settling disputes involving personal honor, so j nations have come to use arbitration | for the settling of international dis-! putes without involving the states' "na tional honor." The settlement of the "Alabama and the northwestern boundary were given as examples of j what arbitration has already done in preventing war. Inez, winner of second place in the contest, spoke on "The Outlawry of War." Miss White said that the real tap root of all wars is economic. Af ter reveiwing the cost of the past war, in man power and money, the speaker said that public opinion was being cul- j tivated against the settlement of dis putes by war. The way to have peace is through the "outlawry of war." The last speaker, Julia Maude Con rad, in discussing "Peace or War — Which are our Children Learning?," brought out the thought that we will j have war so long as we teach history in terms of military campaigns and hold the soldier as the ideal of heroism for the boys of the land. The teaching of peace will bring peace, was the message of Miss Conrad. Miss Margaret Stuart sang before the 1 contest began and again while the jud ges were making their decision. The judges for the evening were: Professor Samuel Hawortli, Miss Newman, and David J. White. SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA INCLUDED IN LYCEUM CECIL ROBERTS, FAMOUS ENGLISH POET, AND IDA TARBEi-L ALSO SCHEDULED I The first numbers ef the Gtlilfoid | College lyceum course have been ar ranged for.

VINCENT MII.LAY'S "ARIA DA CAPO" BILLED From tears to laughter, with a bit of fantasty thrown in, is the intended pro gram for this fall's dramatic production for since discarding the "Three Wise Fools," originally selected, three one act plays have been substituted, and the work of staging them has already start ! ed. This is somwhat a new venture | among dramatics at Guilford, but those I who have seen the Carolina Folk Plays j staged and others like them, say that charm has not been sacrificed in the j three play entertainment. | One of the plays is Eugene O'Neill's | "The Dreamy Kid," a pathetic story !of negro life—a play that revolves around an exciting plot with the out come unrer'ain until the end. The story is simply told: that of the conflict of a ; voung negro, who in a drunken brawl lias "plugged" a white man, and who is in hiding from the law. News comes to him that his mother is dying and is begging for the "Dreamy" to come home, and stay with her till the end. He does so although he knows that the house is being watched and the play | that follows is of high interest. This is quite a departure from the usual rollik ing comedy that we associate with negro characters, and many have expressed their views as to how a southern audi ence will take this tragedy of negro life. | "Aria da Capo," by Edna St. Vin | cent Milley is a delightful whimsy of light and color. . . and with a lovely theme. Pierrot and Columbine dance i lightly through its lines and gay non sensical banter and beautiful absurdi | ties run riot, until you are enchanted and charmed into laughter. But the | theme is so sad and yet fancifully told I that there is a hint of tears in it, too. The third play has not been definitely I decided upon yet. It will be humorous, I to balance the other two, and may be a Christmas play. HERBERT YUELL TALKS ON FAMOUS PASSION PLAY Mr. Yuell, note ! lecturer and trav eller, lectured a: .Memorial hall on Sat urday evening on the famous Passion flay. Mr. Yuell h i seen the Passion Play, has visited the players in their native elements and has made an in tensive study of both the play and the players. The lecture, after an explantaory in | 'reduction, was an illustrated one. All 'he pictures were taken by Mr. Yuell himself, and they were beautifully col ! ored. The first ones introduced the audience to the grand plan of the Pas sion Play by showing the natural scen ery of the surrounding country, the I yrol mountains, and the players as tbey 1 live in their homes in Oberammergau. The play itself takes place on ail im mense out-door stage. There were very many pictures of the actual scenes in the play, and of different poses of the players. Among other interesting facts Mr. Yuell said that the actors in the play live irreproachably all the time. They are taught the different characteriza tions from childhood, and are brought up to believe that the highest honor that could be accorded them is to be chosen to act the part of one the play ers. The play is given only once every ten years, and then it is played from early morning until late in the evening. ' The players use no artificial make-up in their performances. After a most instructive lecture a col lection was taken for Mr. Yuell in ap ! preciation of his work. Guilford was fortunate in being able to secure him for one night, as he is busy lecturing all i over the United States. No. 8
