QUAKER FOOTBALL TEAM
BATTLES THE DAVIDSON
TEAM TO A 26-0 SCORE
Roberston and Warrick the j
Outstanding Men for
Guilford
"Nip and Tuck" Affair Through
the Last Half
The Guilford College eleven went
down in defeat at the hands of the
Davidson Wildcats Saturday by the |
score of 26-0. The feature of the
game was the plucky fight that the
"Fighting Quakers" put up. So strong
was the Guilford line that the Wild
cats could only make a few scratches
during the entire last period. How
ever a Davidson mail broke through
the line and blocked a punt and re
covered for the only score during the |
last period.
Davidson's first score same within
the first ten minutes of play, and the
only other scoring that came directly
from straight football Was in the
second quarter. Repeated drives and
end runs took the ball across the
Quakers goal line twice in succession.
After this period the Quaker line
could not be penetrated by the Wild
cats.
The final scoring, which was a
fluke touchdown came in the third
quarter when Arrowwood, Davidson
end blocked a punt and dodged
through for a touchdown.
Although considerably weakened by
the loss of Murray White, star back
field man, and "Red" Hughes, left
end, Guilford played a fighting, punch
ing game. Her outstanding stars were
Robertson and Hendrickson, Robertson
making a brilliant interception of a
Davidson forward pass, and also

LOUIS MGFARLAND SPEAKS
TO THE STUDENT BODY
Mr. Louis McFarland, superintendent
of Evangelistic work of the yearly
meeting of Friends, delivered a brief
talk in chapel last Wednesday on the
subject, "Think on these things."
"If man could not think and was
not required to think, what would he
be? He would hardly be on u level
with animals." declared Mr. McFarland.
''However, even when man thinks, the
thought can do him no good unless
the thought is clean and godly. The
way you think shows itself not only in
what you do, but also in your char
acter. Unclean and dishonest thoughts
have ruined many men."
He continued, "It is practically im
possible in this day for man to make
a success of life without both a Chris
tian and secular education, but a
secular education does not hinder mor
al delinquency, in many cases, it aids
it. Education of the Christian kind
aids man in business, society, morality
and in knowing God. However, unless
you know God, unless you are His
children your chances to lead a success
ful life are limited."
SENIOR ENDEAVOR SOCIETY
TO GIVE A ONE-ACT PLAY
The Senior Christian Endeavor, of
the Friends Meeting, will present in
Memorial Hall, November 7, "The
Mouse-Trap," a one act-play by William
Dean Howells.
"The Mouse-Trap" is one of William
Dean Howells' cleverest "parlor comed
ies." The plot centres around the age
old feminine dislike of mice, and ends
with a surprise for the audience. It
has a laugh in every line and cer
tainly in every action.
The cast will include Chandos
Kitnrey, in the leading feminine role,
with Elizabeth Levering. Rachel Ives,
Rernice Henley and Alice Hazard.
The choice for the one male character
has not been made.

S. GLADSTONE HODGIN
TO DO GRADUATE WORK
AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY
Mr. Henry Crutch field To
Take Over His ITork
at the College
S. Gladstone Hodgin, member of
the class of '22, who, since June 1923,
has been Business Manager at Guil
ford College, left Thuresday evening,
October 6. for Cambridge, Mass
achusetts, where he will enter Harvard
University to pursue courses in the
schools of Business Administration
and Landscape Architecture.
Under Mr. Hodgin's Management,
many much needed additions and
repairs have taken place in the college
plant. The roofs on all the buildings
have been gone over thoroughly and
the woodwork on the buildings put
in first class condition. The walls
on the second and third floors of I
Founders Hall were all refinished in the
summer of 1924. The walks which
were sadly in need of repairs were,
during the past summer, completely
rebuilt and covered with sand and
clay.
In the way of important additions
to the col'ege plant, should be men
tioned the new well which was dug
at his suggestion. This well has re
lieved the serious water problem which
Guilford was facing two years ago.
Some of the other desirable improve

NEW SOUTH SECTION NOW
HOLDS Y. M. C. A, BANNER
New South section of Cox Hall is
now in possession of a large banner
which was given for the best attend
ance at Y. M. C. A. last week. The
idea of this banner, as explained by
president Barbee, is to stimulate in
terest in the work of the Y. M. C. A.
and to boost attendance. The banner
will remain in front of this section
until some other section has a larger
percentage of attendance at the weekly
Y. M. C. A. meeting.
DOCTOR PERISHO SPEAKS
ON FOREST FIRE LOSSES
Dr. Perisho, in a chapel talk Tuesday
morning, presented to the student body
some startling facts concerning the
nation's dwindling forests and the des
truction of these forests due to forest
fires. He said that last year the loss
in the United States due to forest
j fires was $550,000,000. Concerning the
j growth and consumption of timber he
said in part:
j "We have already used six-sevenths
| if our great forests and no country
j had such forests as we had. We are
using sixty billion feet of timber every
I vear and growing fifteen billion. We
! ire using four times as much as we grow.
J We are not in danger of a forest famine,
jwe are facing one." He pointed out
that of the fifty thousand forest fires
I that occur every year, twenty-six per
[ cent of them are attributed to sheer
| carelessness and that it is in this care
{ lessness that all should be interested
in preventing.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 15, 1925
LOYAL GUILFORD ALUMUS
MAKES GENEROUS GIFT TO
SUPPORT OF ALMA MATER
Benjamin A . Duke Adds §50.000
to His Other Recent Gifts
to Guilford College
The death of James B. Duke, and
the recall of the many considerable
donations which he has made to the
support of Guilford College, calls
to mind the recent generous gift that
his brother. Benjamin N. Duke made
0 the College. This gift is in the
form of good, dividend-bearing stock
1 i one of tlie strong Duke corporations.
This stock has a face value in the
market, of §50,000 and was an unsol
icited gift to the institution.
The contribution by Mr. Duke is
only one of the many that he has made
in a systematic manner during recent
■ ears. In 1905 he made a consider
able cash donation along with his
brother, their combined gift totaling,
up to that time, about $25,000. Mem
orial Hall, built by James B. Duke
and Benjamin N. Duke as a memorial
to their sister, Mary Duke, could not
be built at present for less than
i 50,000.
Benjamin N. Duke, has shown a
sympathetic interest in Guilford Col
lege since he left her halls as a
student. His recent gift is a substan
tial proof of this interest. This gift,
added to the 825,000 which he gave
in the recent endowment campaign,
brings him up to the position as one
f the most generous supporters of
j Guilford College.

GUILFORD'S TENNIS TEAM
WINS EASILY OVER ELON
Burke and Trotter Show
Mid-season Form
The Elon College net men went down
in defeat before the superior Guilford
College Team with a score of 160-0,
last Thursday afternoon. The visitors
were not able to stand the quick
smashes of the nimble Quaker racquet ;
wielders and were turned back without
winning a set.
Johnson and Beatie of Elon put up
a good light and played brilliant tennis
at times but were able to secure only
two games from Trotter and Griffin
of Guilford who played a steady and
sure game. The score stood 6-1, 6-1.
Burke and Brown of Guilford easily ;
defeated Bello and Gibbs of Elon. In
the first set the visitors were able to ;
secure but five points. Burke and
Brown covered the court with ease |
while Gibbs and Bello played an un
balanced and unsteady game.
The singles were harder fought and j
afforded the fans more excitement.
Trotter of Guilford met Johnson of >
Elon and by his fast lawfords and I
clever lobs defeated him by a score j
of 6-3, 6-2.
Burke, who met Beattie of Elon.
completely puzzled the visitor by his j
swift left hand cuts. Beattie had some
nimble strokes which proved effective
at times but could not withstand the
attack of the left bander.
Moore substituted for Brown, of Guil
ford, and defeated Gibbs to a tune j
of 6-1. 6-1, Moore uses both a back- !
hand and forehand lawford stroke.
Parker substituted for Griffin and j
defeated Bello, of Elon,. by a score 1
of 6-2, 6-0.
! "PATHS TO PARADISE" A
SOURCE OF MERRIMENT
All who saw "Paths to Paradise," at i
Memorial Hall Saturday night, enjoyed j
two hours of suspense and laughter.
The picture s!arts with the portrayal J
of a scene in the underworld of San j
Franciso. It is here that "The Man' j
and "The Girl,'" both of whom are
thieves, meet.
Then we see them playing parts ai
a millionaire's ball, and both are seek J
ing possession of a much prized neck
lace. With the coming of dawn, the> i
-ecure the necklace and then follows
a w iltl dash for Mexico. All speed |
laws are smashed!
But soon comes the desire of the girl [
to '"go straight," followed by another I
wild ride to return the necklace.
As the curtain falls we see '
our pair of crooks, happy and guiltless, i
j ready to march to the altar!

DOCTOR PERISHO SPEAKS
TO N. G. C. W. STUDENTS
Doctor E. C. Perisho delivered an
address at the North Carolina College
for Women on Friday, October 9.
His speech was on the "Practical
i use of Citizenship." The main theme
|of his address centered around the
thought that, "if the state helps the
school, then the school ought to help
j the state."
The speaker called attention to two
movements before the people of the na
tion and asked the aid of his hearers in
elj ing to solve the problems con
[ nected with them. These two issues
before the public, he stated, are pre-
I vent ion of forest firei and enforcement
iof the law. Each of these alarming
dangers to public welfare were clearly
and vividly portrayed, and the serious
ness of the situation forcibly impressed
upon his audience. His address was
closed in a last strong appeal to the
1 future teachers of North Carolina's
i children to apply their citizenship in
i doing what they could to further the
best interests of their commonwealth
| and nation.
