G-uilford Defeats Elon
"Hit and run"' was the feature of
the Elon-Guilford game that was play
ed on the Elon diamond Monday. A
total of 29 safe hits were made dur
ing the game and when the results
were calculated Guilford had the big
end of a 14 to 11 score. Elon trailed
by not less than four runs during the
entire game and never did they threat
en to overtake the big lead that the
quakers had piled up.
Guilford took the lead in the first
frame, when four successive safeties
were made off the delivering of Fowler;
the christians could never overcome
their lead though they made a des
perate effort in the last inning when
they scored three runs. Elon collected
14 hits from the offerings of Gray.
A high wind sweeping across a dusty
field in the faces of the players inter
fered seriously with the fielding of
both teams, a total of 17 errors be
ing made during the game, seven be
ing chalked up by Guilford and ten
by Elon.
Despite the many errors and big
score the game had many thrills. C.

catch in left field which was the field

YOUNG RUSSIAN EUOURED
UNUSUAL EXPERIENCES
Meets Many Difficulties
In Coming From Moscow
To United States.
To the average American reader the
words Bolshevist and Communism
have only a vague meaning. But to
Alexander Pavlov, the young Russian,
who came to Guilford College some
time ago to start life anew, the words
stand for things which have been a
vivid reality in his life. Those who
are familiar with life as it found
under the peaceful folds of the Stars
and Stripes, can hardly appreciate
what it means to live in a country of
revolutions and counter revolutions,
tfowever. could tliey hear the story
this young Russian might tell, they
would at least appreciate Old Glory
a little more.
It was by a strange chance that he
came to Guilford. When he left Rus
sia he was headed for the states, —
anywhere to get out of Russia. Once

PROF. HAWORTH SPEAKS
ON CHRIST'S EARLY LIFE
Prof. Samuel Haworth spoke dur
ing the chapel period Wednesday
morning about Christ in the temple
at the age of twelve. ''Those who
heard the things Christ said marveled
at his wisdom." Prof. Haworth be
gan. The child spoke like an edu
cated man. In fact he was educated—
not by the study of boats, but by daily
walks and talks with the Master.
"Some people consider themselves
educated when, in reality, they only
know how to do things in a regular
routine. The definition I would give
for an educated man is one who knows
what to do in the pinches," said Prof.
Haworth. In that time things were
dene by routine, but Jesus knew what
to do in the pinches. He knew how
to organize the discordant elements.
He had spent many hours alone on
the mountain side conversing with
God. "That was, I think, his great
source of wisdom,'' Prof. Haworth con
cluded.
RACQUET WIELDERS OREAK
EVEN IN ONE, LOSE TWO
Taking one doubles and one
singles Guilford broke even with Oak
j Ridge in a tennis match played last
Friday afternoon. The match could
| not be completed on account of dark
! ness. Joyce of Guilford easily defeat
ed Hackney, of Oak Ridge; 6-2; 6-4,
j and Joyce and Burke won doubles
match in straight sets from Hackney
and Cummings, Brown and Trotter lost
Jto King and Spaugh in a hotly con
i tested affair. In this match the vis
itors took the first set, 6-2, but lost
the second 5-7; they came through in
the third with a score of 6-4. Burke
j lost to King, 6-2,6-0.
Wake Forest won all matches from
| the Guilford racquet wilders in a
match played at Wake Forest on
Monday, April 20. The Quakers put
up a hard fight and played the Bap
tists a skillful game. Their positions
jon the court were at most times su-
J perior to the Wake Foresters but were
[ unable to use this advantage.
| N. C. State also turned the Quakers
away with a defeat. Joyce was the
only man of the Guilford delegation
j who defeated a Techman. The whole
match went off slowly and was not an
exhibition of first class tennis. The
I Techmen proved superior at the net.
Beautiful Stage Setting
Annie Wagoner, S. Keen
and Chandos Kimrey
Play Minor Roles
Well
By Catherine Shields
The Dramatic Council of Guilford
College scored perhaps its biggest suc
cess in all its years of existence with
the production of Allan Langdon Mar
tin's play "Smilin' Through," when on
Saturday night, April 25th, this roman
tic comedy was staged with an able
cast before a highly appreciative audi
ence which completely filled the audi
torium and who were unending in their
expressions of approval and commend
ation.
This was by far one of the most
difficult plays given here, and much
praise is due S. Gladstone Hodgin,
who coached and rounded the material
into shape for the splendid performance
given last Saturday night. The critics
have agreed that the setting and atmo
sphere fully eclipsed anything used in
former plays—the delightfully walled
in English garden with its wisteria cov
ered cottage in the background seemed
an idyllic setting for the quaint cos
tumes of the fifties, and gave just the
right touch of wistful enchantment
needed for the story.
Clara Coble Stars
The main honors of the night go to
Clara Coble for her charming and re
alistic portrayal of the dual roles of
Kathleen and Moonyeen, both of which
required delicate and sympathetic
treatment.
As Kethleen, the piquant ward of
John Carteret, she gave a charming
picture of youth. Her Irish brogue
aided in creating the desired effect,
and captivated everyone, even to her
uncle, whom needless to say, she could
wheedle around her little finger.
Second Act Appealing
But it was as the bride of fifty years
ago, that the audience loved her best,
and in the scene where Moonyeen died,
there were many tear-wet faces in the
audience that attested to the splendid
emotional acting of that scene. In the
moonlit scenes where as a ghost—(and
quite a charming one at that)—she
revisited her sweetheart, she was quite
appealing. The motif music, "Smilin'
Through," was played softly through
out this part, while the moonlight light
ing effects helped to heighten the
emotional appeal of the scene.
She ''got" her audience the instant
?he jumped from the wall to the stage,
and from that moment to the end of
the play the audince was hers. She
Wore lovely costumes and byway of
variety changed them in every scene.
Reynolds and Reece Score
John Reynolds and Carey Reece as
the two old friends who alternately
quarreled and fought and loved each
other dearly, both brought excellent
knowledge and understanding to their
respective roles. John Reynolds ably
portrayed the part of John Carteret,
a hot-tempered, broken-hearted old
bachelor, who still brooded over a past
hate with the indomnitable will of the
aged.
He gave a sympathetic and forceful
character study. This was not an easy
part to play, making great and frequent
demands on the varied mimic and char
acter effects.
Carey Reece made a realistic Doctor
Owen and gave just the right note of
dignity and steadiness needed to coun
terbalance the humor of the other parts.
He was an able companion of Mr. Rey

MR. M C FARLAND SPEAKS
AT CHRISTIAN ENOEAVOR
"Go ye therefore and make disciples
of all nations," did not apply to mis
sionaries alone, declared Rev. Lewis
McFarland Superintendent of church
extension for Friends of North Caro
lina, in a forceful address Sunday
evening.
"What if none of the disciples had
heeded the command of Christ?" Mr.
McFarland asked. We can just catch
a faint vision of the awful condition
the world would be in at the present
time.
Mr. McFarland hurled a challenge
to the students of the college to make
a missionary contribution to the cause
of Christ. "Are you planning some
Christian service for your home com
munity when you go home this vaca
tion?" he asked.
Mr. McFarland is not unknown to
the student body and is noted for his
sincere inspiring, addresses. He is
always welcomed to the campus when
ever he finds it possible to visit the
college.
"FREEDOM" SERMON TOPIC
BY PBESIBENT BIN F0 B B
"Freedom" was the main idea of
Dr. Binford's sermon at meeting Sun
day morning, April 26.
For the scripture lesson Dr. Binford
read portions from the fourth chapter
of Luke and the eighth chapter of
John, taking as his text John 8:32.
"And ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free."
Dr. Binford in presenting his topic,
.showed how we are held in complete
bondage by the very things which
seem to us a means of escape from
bondage—"Truth," said Dr. Binford,
"is only means of freedom. We are
not free when we are in mental bon
bondage to sordid and narrow thoughts
and prejudices, or anything that will
bar us from the beautiful things in
life."
GLASS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL
TO PRACTICE TEACHING
Professor Samuel Haworth's class
the Teaching of Sunday School is
undertaking to do practical work in
observation. The various members of
the class will attend Sunday School
in the many churches of this and
other counties, and study the different
phases of the Sunday Schools, putting
specjal interest on the equipment and
methods of instruction used.
The purpose of this survey is to
enable the class as a whole to get a
conception of the best methods and
equipment for practical Sunday School
Teaching.
It is the plan of Prof. Haworth to
bring experienced Sunday School
teachers to his classroom and have
them present an advanced Sunday
School lesson as a model one—Prof.
D. Riley Haworth and Dr. Elwood
Persho have been secured to begin
the series of demonstrations.

The Query under consideration was:
"Resolve that Congress should be given
power through Constitutional Amend

! Messers Branson and Haworth based
' their argument on four main conten

generations; second, the present laxity
in age limits for marriage among the
j several states; third, the lack of uni
formity among the state laws; fourth,
the possibility of enacting a law that
will make the desired end possible.
