THE GUILFORDIAN VOL. XII. GUILFORD LOSES GAME TO TENNESSEE MOUNTAINEERS Heavy Mi Hi gun ('.allege Team Trample Over The \Liglit Quaker Team Guilford lost to Milligan last Sat urday, by the score of 38 to 0. The game, however, was not a- easy a victory for the Tennesseeans as the score might indicate. I The game started with a rush. Milli gan kicked off and Mcßane carried the ball twenty yards. Robertson gain- i ed five yards through the line. Mc- j Banc made an end run and had got by all but two of the opposing team j | when be was tackled and dropped the ball. Milligan had the ball and at tempted a pass but failed. The Tenn esseeans I hen carried the ball for a first down and attempted a drop kick which Harrell unsuccessfully tried to j intercept. Milligan again got the j ball and on line plunges scored a I touchdown. Guilford received and j attempted a pass but finally resorted j to a punt. Milligan made a first down on four plays and followed up j by another. Guilford's line was not | holding. After a series of plays the J ball was in Guilford's possession, j Mcßane carried it twice for gains around the end. Robertson plunged through the line for a five yard gain and Mcßane carried the ball for a first down with some fast running and pretty side stepping. Mcßane again [ carried the ball for a five yard gain j and Robert-on made a first down. -Mc- Bane and Bobertson were making j good gains around the ends and | through the line as the quarter ended j witii the ball in Guilford's possession. Guilford kicked off at the opening of the second quarter. Milligan made a first down in three plays and attemp ted a pass. Milligan then made a long gain around the end with Thoma (Continued on page 3.) PROXIMITY AGAIN FALLS BEFORE GUILFORD QUINT Quakers Trounce Y Men By a Count Of 51-21 The Guilford College members of the pre-season magic circle club pierced tile magic loop for a count of 51 points and crushed their opponents, the Proximmity "Y" team, who only scored 21 points. This is the second time this year that the Proximity basketball team has fallen in the dust before the onslaught [ of the nimble Quaker quint. The game started with Guilford in ; the lead and at no tine did the "Y" cagers threaten to lead the local squad. The fi st part of the game was fairly hotly contested but when captain "Bozo" .Smith came in the game the magic loop did not get lonesome for Smith kept the ball near it at all times . The team work of the Quaker basket eers was the feature of the game- Passes were accurate and team work was used to be?t advantage. The strong defense as practiced by this Quaker team proved very effective for most of the shots of the Proximity men were taken from the center of the court.

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Association Takes Stpes To Raise Standard Of North Carolina Libraries At a meeting of the North Carolina 1 Library Commission, which was held 1 at Chapel Mill la-t Friday and Sat- | urday, Miss Katherine C. Ricks, local | librarian, was elected Second Vice- President of that organization. Miss Ricks, when she returned, re- , ported an interesting meeting. How ever, the library facilities of the state, according to the reports that came in lo the meeting, are not such as to j warrant the assumption of a feeling of state pride. According to Miss Ricks, | North Carolina ranks as one of the | poorest equipped states of the union j | in public library facilities, and that in spite of the fact that the state has been, for several years, in the midst ] of a great educational campaign. The ' governments of the state, counties and ! cities have been free in the expendi- j lure of money for the building of good school buildings and for the increasing the salaries of teachers but the program ' of supplying the necessary books to | keep pace with all these other niaterail ; improvements has been neglected. j Discussion revealed that there are only eight libraries in the state with j full time librarians in charge; that whereas, the larger North Carolina j towns spend only from ten to twenty- j five cents per capita on libraries, the cities in the north and west spent ap- | proximately one dollar per capita. ! Raleigh spends only seven hundred dollars. Such facts, the 85 members of the association who were present declared, put North Caro'ina to shame in the matter of library facilities, j There was unanimous agreement in j ! the meeting that later took the form |of a resolution that there should be' | inaugurated in the state a campaign j of publicity and activity which would soon result in lifting North Carolina from the lowly rank of forty-eighth j (Continued on page 3.)

A. presented an uproarious farce of Thanksgiving called "The Tragedy of the Thanksgiving Feast" in which the ingredients of the dinner, destined for J consumption eluded their pursuers, ; leaving the family minus their holiday j' :in key, mince pie, celery, cake, etc. Act one consisted of a conspiracy j of the turkey and celery to keep their ■ ■ own lives and those of their compan- j ions, from an inglorious finish on a i dinner table. j Sidney Winslow played the part of : the turkey with much sonorous lan guage; Wilmer Steel was quite agitated ; as celery. Tommie Hadley proved to Ibe a successful comedian in his im personation of the Thanksgiving pumpkin. The salt and pepper shakers, alias— Byron Haworth and Scott Benton caused much merriment with their antics. The cranberries danced quite merrily around the room to a jolly j verse and music. The second act, showing the dinner j party minus the expected dinner, pro voked much mirth among the audience. Blanche Spencer made a dignified (Continued on page 4.) DOCTOR SOPHER OF DUKE UNIVERSITY DELIVERS A I SERMON AT THE CHURCH | Shows Great Need Of Missionary Work Dr. Sopher, Dean of the school of j Theology, at Duke University, delivered .in illuminating sermon at the Meet j ing house here Sunday morning. , Doctor Sopher, who was here as the j j principal speaker and leader of the | Western Division of the Student Vol teers. who convened here over the j week-end, preached his sermon as a ! part of the convention proceedings. The principal theme that the speaker analyzed in the whole of his sermon was "Does the world need missionary \ ork?" In proving that there is need | f missionary work, he laid a back -1 ground from which some idea of the condi ions among the non-Christians I night be realized. | Doctor Sopher took up the principal religions of the world and showed briefly what each stood for and the things each have accomplished in the (Continued on page 3.) unteer Declaration Card, Missionary | Educations, involving a consideration of what constitutes a mission call and what it means to be a missionary. Much time was given to discussing the Changing Problems on the Mission Fields. Under this head such pro blems as the World Court, League of Nations. Race relations, exclusion bills, and Chinese situation, were considered. Fourteen delegates were present re presenting four colleges. The names of the delegates and colleges represent ed were as follows: North Carolina College for Women, Elizabeth Cowan, President of the State Union.

JUMOR HOCKEY TEAM WINS OUT IN ANNUAL CLASS TOURAMENT RAGE DISCRIMINATION ISj 1 CITED AS BASIS FOR THE WESTERN HATRED OF U. S. i Mrs. /Catherine Eddy, Lately From d Japan. Suggests Cause Of Japanese Hatred Mrs. Katherine W. Eddy, who for a number of years has been head of the 11 House of International Friendship in r Japan, spoke to the Guilford student 1 body on last Thursday morning. The speaker said in part, "If we are going to have friendships between ( different racial groups we must first ,| find points of contact or understanding. To do this the white race must drop their idea of superiority over other races. All whites have this feeling, j The Japanese are a people with keen . perceptions and they scrutinze us and see our inner life. This sense of our superiority irritates them and causes impassable barriers to be thrown up." , "We must not only drop our feeling ( 'of superiority but we also must see j the bigness of life. When we go to j lliese countries to spread Christiianity, we must create the impression that we j are sharing our belief. Then as time j ;ioes on and we discover that they are \ sharing themselves with us and that we are the greater benefactors from ! tile mutual sharing." j "Today there are currents of rest lessness surging through the young . ! people of Japan. They are seeking something new and they find satisfac | lion in the teaching of love. They have a great interest in Christ but cannot understand why we do not live up to His teachings." "The exclusion act bothers the Japanese and they think much about it. They cannot reconcile this act , with the generosity that our people show at such times as the earthquake dis aster. The thinking people ask their countrymen to be patient with the Unite,! States as they have great faith in the American people."' "In 1927 a new immigration bill J will be framed. If the Japanese people are allowed to come in at the rate of other races, 147 Japanese would come !in each year. This would ease the hurt we have done Japan. They do , not mind the number permitted to come but they have sensitive souls and they are hurt because we discriminate against them."' The speaker concluded by saying that the United States will continue j to leatl the world only as she will part ! with her dearest possessions and be i : true to her great trust. MISS WATTERS GIVES ILLUSTRATED LECTURE ! Shows Pictures Of The English Lake County | The Home Of Poets I An illustrated lecture on, "The Eng ■ lish Lake Region," given in the ' church Sunday evening, Nov. 22, by 1 Miss Leah A. Watters proved exceeding ■ ly fascinating, and interesting. f The quaint English houses found in > the Lake region were the most out-1 • standing features, and especially, the " homes of some of our most famous 5 poets: Wordsworth, Coleridge, and " Ruskin; The exquisite beauty of the 1 English home was displayed, with ■> masses of flowers growing over it; 1 beautiful green lawns that no other > country can boast of; beautifully dec e orated with all kinds of soft hedgerows J of various flowers, and often surround ed by a stone wall. ' "The Lake Country," said Miss e Watters" possesses the honor of having r attracted more poets than any other (Continued from page 3.) Seniors Put a Hard Fight But Are Overcome By a 2 1 Score The Junior hockey team won the inter-class championship and completed a perfect winning schedule this week by beating the Seniors, their last opposing team by a two to one score. .Miss Mattie Been, Women's Physical Director, has worked hard in building up the class-teams. The games showed results of much time spent in training the girls how to use their sticks. They made good drives and did splendid co operation with their team mates. Monday afternoon the Freshmen met the Sophomores in an exciting game. The Freshmen scored four points while they held the Sophomores scoreless. Both teams showed that they had put in good practice, but the Freshmen had tlie advantage of hav ing a larger group from which to choose their players. The Junior-Senior game Tuesday afternoon was won by the Juniors 4-0. The Seniors lacked several players but the captain found good "subs" to fill all the vacant places. After the first two games were ended, the Junior-Freshmen game Wednesday afternoon was eagerly anticipated. It was the hardest fought game of the season. The Juniors scored at the opening of the contest but before the end of the first half, the Freshmen tied the score. In the last half the Juniors again scored winning the game 2-1. The Seniors met the Sophomores Thursday afternoon. Both teams had to put in several "subs'". The teams were fairly well-matched and played a good game. However, the Seniors carried off a victory with a 2-1 score. The winners of the games of Wed i nesday and Thursday were scheduled to play Friday, so the Juniors again met the Seniors. The field was soggy and a poorly played game resulted. Players from both teams had been in several of the previous games and were rather worn out. Never-the-less, both teams put up a good fight, the Juniors winning 2-1. The varsity team has not been chosen but the lineup for the wining team is: Ethel Chad wick Left Wing, Maie Hollady Left Inside Julia Wolff Center Anne Finch Right Inside Louise White Right Wing Aileen Beeson Left Half Back Lena Marshburn Center half Back Lola Beeson Right half Back ! Laura Ballinger Left full Back Amma .Mae Newlin Goal Keep Grace Kimrey Right full Back Week-End Social Sometime toward the end of last week the social committee formed a conspiracy to (as someone expressed it, make "Tempus Fugit" Saturday night. From all reports that can be secured, they were successful in ac complishing the end to which they were plotting, by means, of a call soical at Founders and a general social at New Garden Hall. The fact that a great many students went home over the week-end, made the halls that are sometimes cramped, commodious enough. At New Garden Hall games of divers and sundry nature were played. The , game in which the "Fruit Basket" is ! upset, much to the discomfiture of luckless vegetables and clumsy fruits . like muskmelons and cabbages, came in for a good share of the time. Some . of the games that were played were . not named at all, but for all that, were none the less interesting. Those couples who were at Founders Hall and have since been interviewed for * the press, have all stubbornly insisted that they had nothing for "publication." NO. 9.
