Quakers and Panthers Fight to a
Tie in Their Second Grid Contest
White Makes Spectacular 45 yard
Run to Score Touchdown
FIELD IN BAD CONDITION
High Point College and Guilford
College football teams fought to a
6-6 tie Saturday afternoon at High
Point, on a rain-soaked field. An un
usal number of fumbles and bad passes
were made due to the wet field and
wet ball.
The Purple Panthers' score came in
the second quarter after a conventional
punt from the middle of the field to
Guilford's four yard line. White gain
ed one yard and Kimrey plunged
through left tackle for six yards, but
when he was tackled the ball slipped
from his grasp. Pankau recovered the
ball on Guilford's 15 yard line. Heath
and Pankau, by three o(T tackle plays,
brought the ball to Guilford's one
yard line. Pankau punctured the line
for a touchdown on the next play.
Heath failed to kick the extra point.
Guilford's touchdown came when
White, Guilford's hardhitting fullback,
snatched Heath's fumble from the
ozone and raced 45 yards for a
spectacular touchdown. Guilford's last
opportunity to win was lost when
Pankau and Bergmann blocked Ilar
rell's kick for the extra point.
Guilford's outstanding star was Mur
ray White. Robertson also played
a good game. The muddy field pro
badly had a great deal to do with the
poor form that each team displayed.
For the Panthers, Pankau was easily

NEW GARDEN ENTERTAINS
FOUNDERS AT GYPSY TEA
Last Thursday afternoon the girls
of Founders Ilall were tendered a most
delightful suprise in the shape of little
cards, decorated with gay, falling
leaves, and bearing the following in
scription; "'Won't you please come to
our gyspy tea!" In the very end corner
were the words, "New Garden Hall."
Promply at four-fifteen Thursday,
Founders in a solid body ascended
New Garden Hall steps, where Ola
Nicholson and Margaret ToWnsend met
and welcomed the visitors into the re
ception hall, which was artistically
decorted with boughs of autumn leaves
lliat made a brilliant note of color
against the warm cream walls. All of
the hostessess wore a red maple leaf
in their hair.
Soon after ariving, each Founders
girl was asked by a hostess to have
tea, and presently found herself in the
dining hall, now completely altered
from its usual appearance.
Tiny tables set for four, with center
peices of gay leaves Were scattered all
about, ready for occupancy. Fragrant
hot tea, sandwiches and macaroons
were served. Later on, slips of paper
were given out, and each girl was
admonished to learn all the names of
those present that -she could in a given
time. After much hasty and frantic
writing and askeing of names, time
was called, and Aline Gilmore was
declared the winner. She was present
ed with a clever doll favor.
The party broke up at five-thirty,
TO HAVE A CONSULTATION
ROOM IN ARGHOALE HALL
In the near future, room number
six, on the ground floor of Archdale
Hall. will be used as a consultation
room by Professor J. Wilmer Pancoast
and the students in his classes of
Mathematics. For the past year, this
room has been used as a store-room,
but recently everything was moved
out and it is no'v undergoing some
much needed repair work. With this
room occupied, little space in this
splendid old building wi'l be vacant.
GUILFORD FORTUNATE IN
RETAINING SERVICE OF
PROF. J. WESTLEY WHITE
Writes On The Need Of The Cul
tural In American Life
Has Devoted Six Years To Work Here
For the past six years Guilford Col
lege has been most fortunate in re
taining the services of Prof. J. Westley
White, who has spent such time at the
college as there were pupils to demand.
During this period, out of loyalty to
the institution, he has kept up his work
here and in his leisure time he has
built up recognition in Greensboro,
Winston-Salem and other places that
is enjoyed only by vocalists of high
rank. At present lie has a number of
students in Wonston-Salem who are
taking les'ons in voice at his direct
tion. At Guilford, he has a large
number of both, men and women who
ire taking voice.
The Winston-Salem Journal, which
recently began a program of publish
ing large volumes of timely and inter
esting feature copy, asked Mr. White
!o contribute an article for publica
tion, covering phases of the musical
field in which he is interested. Ex
tracts from the article, which was pub
bi-hed in the issue for October 8, are
given below.
"Thinking people are agreed that
America sorely needs increased cul
tural influences to temper the effects of
her recent vast materialistic growth.
To that end, every year more and
more attention is given to the art

MME. RUSAGK DISGDSSES
FAMOUS SPANISH ARTIST
Tuesday morning Mrs. Rusack, who
has just returned to the Guilford Fac
ulty after a year's absence, gave a
chapel talk on Spain and one of her
greatest contemporary artists.
Americans usually think of Spain as
a romantic country in which the main
occupation of the brown eyed ladies
is to listen to some black haired sere
nador play passionate love songs on
his guitar. This is partially true, of
the Southern province of Andalusia,
' lit in the Northern provinces is still
found the fanatically religious feeling
of the old Spain in the days of the In
fpii?ition. In this region of old
motiastaries and castles, Ignacio Zulo
ago was born.
Ignacio Zulaga passed his apprentice
ship in Paris, but Paris did not have
much to offer to him. In Seville, how
ever, his talent was rapidly developed.
His canvases are very large. Por
traits of his are usually at least double
life size. His landscapes are large,
fantastical, dreamy and remote. Some
limes the grim front of a medieval cas
tle is steeped in an atmosphere of

WAKE-FOREST HAS SLIGHT
EDGE ON GUILFORD NET
MEN AND WINS IN FINALS
Teams Evenly Matched and All Points
Hotly Contested-Burke Wins
for Guilford
The Cu:!f'>'d College tennis stars
battled with the Wake Forest delega
tion for more than three hours here last
Tuesday. All matches with the excep
tion of one singles went to three sets
and many of the games were denced
several times. In the end the Wake
Foresters were able to squeeze through
and take the final game, and took four
matches while Guilford only took one.
Jack Powers of Wake Forest played
exceptional tennis while Burke of Guil
ford was in tip-top form.
In the first singles match Powers
made a spectacular come-back and
defeated Trotter of Guilford in the
final set. Powers was outclassed in the
first set but fought hard and won the
second by a score of 10-8. The final
count stood 6-2, 8-10, 2-6.
The match between Slate of Wake
Forest and Burke of Guilford was
hostly contested and was featured by
hard lawford drives and clever
slashes. Burke finally won the match
by a score of: 6-2, 3-6, 7-5.
Griffin was defeated by Burroughs of
Wake Forest by a score of 6-0, 2-6, 2-6.
Brown lost to Sawyer who had a
deadly fore hand drive in consecutive
sets 3-6, 4-6.
The doubles matches were evenly
matched and hotly contested through
out. Trotter and Grilfin of Guilford
who played Powers and Burroughs of
Wake Forest were unable to complete
the match on account of darkness.
Brown and Burke of Guilford lost
to Slate and Sawyer of Wake Forest
by a count of 3-6, 6-3 7-5. In the final
set the Guilford men had four chances
to win the match but were unable to
secure the final point. Slate and
Sawyer played consistently and won
out in the end.
The whole match was one of the
best seen on the local courts. In
the final count of games Wake Forest
led by a small margin.
FRANKLIN DAVIS PRESENTS
PLANS TO MAKE COLLEGE
LIFE EASIER FOR STUDENTS
Using a quotation from the great
English writer, Addison, James Frank
lin Davis spoke at length upon it in
chapel Monday morning. "There is
nothing truly valuable that can be
purchased without pains and labor,"
was the maxim upon which based his
talk.
Some extracts from his discourse
follow; "I know, that, to one just enter
ing upon a college course, with a four
year curriculum before him, it seems like
a formidable undertaking. And I am
not inclinded to minimize the difficulties
of it, but I wish to ofTer a suggestion
that will tend to mitigate them. 1 am
convinced that there is no surer way of
making the whole course easy than by
overcoming thoroughly each obstacle
as it presents itself." "I am fond of
comparing a college course to mountain
climbing. If you expect to enjoy the
panorama from the top, you must sur
mount each steep and rugged place as
you come to it. There is however,
a twofold compensation for each ob
stacle overcome; the satisfaction of hav
ing accomplished the task, and the
increased strength and courage for the
next encounter. There is also a
psychological phase of the matter. One
can always do his best work under
pressure. The urgency of the occasion
spurs the energy and concentrates the
attention.
On the contrary, there is no method
more baneful and more productive of
future trouble and disappointment than
to leave unmastered some fundamental
principle or fact. The student who

ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN
BY GUILFORD ART GIUB
j Many Reproductions of Medieval and
Modern French Paintings
On Display
Last Saturday night a small but
appreciative audience enjoyed a pro
gram of French art, music and poetry
al Memorial Hall under the
auspices of the Art Club.
The program was opened by a group
of children who sang three French play
songs and did a peasant dance. They
were attractively costumed in French
peasant dress. The accompaniment
was violin and piano. Annie Naomi
Binford showed remarkable talent for
her age in accompanying them on the
violin. An interesting contrast between
old and new styles of poetry was ill
ustrated by Madame Hoffman and her
daughter Mrs. Kusack. Madame Hoff
man read some of the medieval French
poetry and was followed by Mrs.
Kusack, who read selections of modern
verse. Mrs. Rusack gave a preface to
her selections which made it much
easier for the struggling French pupils
to follow her. Louise Frazier, in her
usual charming manner, sang in
French a song entitled "Louise." The
French was comparatively easy and
many were able to translate it due to
her clear diction.
One of the most enjoyable features
of the program was a number of slides
shown by iMrs. Bin ford. The slides
were of an exceptional educational
type. Many of Millet's and Briton's
best works were in the collection.
Quite a number were drawings of
French peasant life. They had no
especial beauty in themselves but their

ELBERT RUSSELL, NOTED
EDUCATOR AND LECTURER,
TO SPEND A WEEK HERE
Dr. Elbert Russell, noted speaker,
writer and educator, will be at Guilf
ford College from the twenty-ninth of
October to the fourth of November.
During bis visit at Guilford he will
deliver a number of lectures to the
student body. He has also consented
to hold a number of private confer
ences with those who may be interested.
Doctor Russell has recently returned
from Europe where he spent much of
his time lecturing in the colleges
and universities of that Continent.
While at Earlham Mr. Russell was
one of the most scholarly and all-round
students that ever attended or graduated
from that institution. He carried the
pigskin as quarterback on Earlham's
championship team. For a number
of years after completing his graduate
work he was head of the department
of religious education of that famous
institution and probably influenced the
lives of more students during his stay
there than any other man. He was
the college pastor and was beloved by
all the students.
A prominent educator in North
Carolina at the present time says that
Professor Russell made a greater im
pression upon his life while a student
at Earlham than any other man ever
has at any time. He says that Doctor
Russell is one of the finest characters
that he has ever known and that he
has the great gift of being able to
differentiate between truth and error
in such a manner that a wayfaring man
is able to se the distinction. His mess
ages are always fresh anil new and he
never repeats. One of the leading
Quakers of America has recently named
Doctor Russell as one of the four most
influential Friends in the World at
the present time.
MRS. BENJAMIN DUKE HERE
Mrs. Benjamin N. Duke, of Durham,
made a short visit to Guilford College
recently. She was accompanied by her
friend, Mrs. J. El wood Cox, of High
Point. They were here only a short
time, however, and returned to High
Point the same day.
GUILFORDIAN REPORTERS'
PLAGES NOW IN DEMAND
The unusually splendid class of new
students, that entered Guilford College
this fall, is making its presence felt
in all parts of the college and its affect
is noticeable on the working force that
attempts to get the Guilfordian out
on time each week. Just at present
th ere are nearly a score of new students
who are trying their hands at wriling
copy. This bodes well for the future
of the college weekly. There are now
eight reporters' places to fill and the
whole board will require re-election,
and the changes accompanying it, at
the end of this semester. The vacan
cies in the Reportorial staff will be
filled soon from those who are members
of one of the four literary societies.
The societies will probably asked to
confirm nominations for most of the
places, at their meetings this week.
