THE GUILFORDIAN VOL. XII. BASKET BALL WINSTON MILITIAMEN FULL BEFORE QUAKERS (■nilford Capers Prove Superior In Every Phase Of The Came The Guilford College basketball team defeated the Company G. quint, of inston-Salem. Saturday night by the score of 45 to 22, wiping out the sting of defeat that was engendered by a trip to the Camel City last winter. The Quakers started with a rush and soon piled up a score that was never threatened. ''Shirt" Smith was the most outstanding player on the floor. He scored 20 of the 45 points to the Quaker's credit. Coble followed closely with a total of 15 points. Quick short passes on the part of the team made the scoring consistent and systematic. Company G played a good game and really exhibited flashes of excellent work at times, but the Quaker guards were so close after the plays that the militiamen were forced to resort to long passes and risky shots from mid floor which usually resulted in the Quakers recovering on the rebound. There were no, "Crips," for the soilders. During the first quarter the Guilford men were handicapped as they were not accustomed to playing on a floor freshly waxed for dancing. Greater accuracy and less clumsiness was dis played after the floor had been rosined. The line-up and summary: Co. G. Pos. Guilford Lambe Cottrane L. F. Beck Coble R. F. Kofer Moore C.

Several practice games have already been played and most of the members of the pre.season squad were given a chance to show their ability. Out of the four games already played, Gui'ford won them all by a large score . These games were won with two of last years letter men out of the lineup, name, Captain Tew and Ferrel star forward. Just who will represent Guilford during the coming season is largely a matter of specula tion, however, it is certain that Guil ford has the best prospects for a winning team that she has in several seasons. The five that Coach Doak picks from the present candidates will win many games for Guilford. From last year's squad there are three latter men out fighting for posi tions on this year's team. They are the veterans around Coach Doak ex pects to build his team. These men are: Henry Tew, Richard Ferrell, and Rufus Smith. Rufus Smith who was one of the (Continued on page 3.)

The solo parts wen good and showed well balanced arranging. The program ranged from the classi cal to the syncopated jazz. The first number was "Antonie's Victory," a fast heavy selection. The second was "Hearts Message," one of Zainerik's compositions. This was probably the best selection given by the orchestra. The duet parts with different arrange ments. The last part of the program was made up of three selections of jazz which had its usual appeal to | many. A concert will be given one Wed esday night in Memorial Hall in the early part of January.

A. in New York City, who ; lias been visiting the college, spoke i in chapel Friday morning of the great work of the Y. W. C. A. In showing that the association is a vital part in the making of a better world Miss Hitchcock mentioned the work of the Y in uniting the world into a closer fellowship and how the Y provided the only means of recrea tion for a large member of workers in larger cities. Miss Hitchcock is making a tour of colleges in both North and South Carolina holding meetings with the Y. W. C. A. cabinet concerning the budget of the Y. W. C. A.

C., DECEMBER, 9. 1925 PHILOMATHEANS SPEND AN EVENING AS THE GUESTS OF HENRY CLAY SOCIETY Short Varied Program Marks Biennial Social Function On Friday evening, December 4, the Philomathean Literary Society was en tertained as the guests of the Henry Clay Literary Society at its regular meeting which was held on this occa- ! sim in Memorial Hall. The program proper was preceded j by an impressive chaplan conducted | by Char'es Coble. However, the liter-j arv program itself started with a snap that quickened interest and \ never allowed it to weaken through- I out the evening. Dewey Sheffield de- ; livered the first number on the pro- j gram, an oration entitled, "The Ro mance of Leander and Laura." 'Tis i here that the formal language of j journalism must be dropped and a style adopted, partaking of the school of Josh Billings, Artemus Ward, Mark ! Twain, Bill Nye and perhaps Eli Per kins, in order to transmit a conception of what this paradoxial number was like. This reading, given in a grave ! but unafTected manner, narrated the adventures of a very " —young man of 62 years whose long grey hair on his bald head rustled in the fierce 1 wind of the calm day while that same fierce wind struggled through the long I wavy beard on his smooth shaven face, • when meanwhile, he was wooing the ; beautiful Laura—" whose dazzling beauty and repulsive ugliness struck her admirers with disgust and tantaliz !ed them with her charms! It was so original and cleverly arranged that it kept all present vacillating from the extremes of mirth to the extremes of doleful grief! Harvey Dinkins' discussion of the life of John Quincy Adams was pre faced by a simple formula by which students can distinguish which was lie elder the Adams family, John Adams cr John Quincy Adams. This, he said, is a simple matter if if is remembered that the younger had a middle name to distinguish him from the old man Adam." Leaving the light vein behind he gave a compre hensive discussion of the life of this prominent historical figure, eulogizing him as a"—man who would not be driven by party whip and a man who accomplished more by his absolute honesty and independence than most men in public life are able to accom lisli by any means they may employ.

Immediately after the dinner as he Was going from I lie manor house to his car he had an attack of heart disease and died thirty minutes later, before bis physician could reach him. Tho Mr. Lyon had been subject to heart attacks he seemed in fine spirits during the evening and his death came as a great shock to his friends. Mr. Lyon was almost 54 years of age. He came to New Garden Boarding School from Durham. N. C., in 1885 and graduated from Guilford College in 1891. The next year he acceoted a position with the American Tobacco Company and was connected with this company, in Durham and New York City, for twelve years.

For a short time he was president of the Carolina Base ball league and was a prominent member of the High Point lodge of Elks.

The Southern Association is one of i the five regional Educational Associa tions which determine the standards j of the high schools anil colleges within each their special regions. The Sout It em Association was organized thirty years ago. It includes the thirteen Southern States with the exception of Arkansas, which belongs to the North Central Association. At the time of its organization only six of our in stitutions of higher learning came up to the standards then set by the Associa tion. At the present time there are fifty-seven, including the ten new col leges admitted at this Conference. The Association, at this time, is tak ing measures in determining standards for Junior Colleges. Measures for standards of Teachers Training Schools Were also passed and six Texas schools were enrolled under the requirements.

Weir took first pi ice and won the gold metal offered in tl-" forty-first annual oratorical contest of the Websterian Literary Society w'lich was held in Memorial Mall Sat urday night. The winner had but two opponents in the contest. Lovless Melvin, who spoke upon "Obedience," and Paul Swanson. who spoke upon "Permanent Peace through Moral Education." The program was marked for its briefness but was outstanding in detail and exactness of presentation. "Our problem of Crime and its Solu tion"' was the tit'e of the oration with which Charles Weir carried way the honors of the evening. He called attention to the increasing volume of I rrime with which the country has been I flooded recently and stated what he • thought were the main reasons for the increase: first, the carrying of fire arms; second, great incoming hordes of foreigners that are coming into the country and are not being readily assimilated: third, general negligence of law which is now bordering upon actual contempt for legislative restraint. The speaker offered remedies for'the situation which he outlined under three separate heads. One of the more important consideration was a 1 general revision of the parole and pardon laws with arrangements for segregation of the hardened criminals (Continued on page 2.) PROFESSOR GOX SAYS, "CULTIVATE THE RIGHT" The idea of coveting and cultivating the right colleges spirit was the sub- : ect of Professor Cox's chapel talk Thursday morning. Tn beginning his talk, Mr. Cox re. minded the student of the great ad vantages which are being offered to them, probably with great sacrifice to fathers and mothers, and the duty of every student to make the best of opportunity. "No college student can repay any college for the opportunity offered him," he said. Tn continuing his talk the speaker stressed the fact that only the fittest survive and come to the top. "If this is true in nature," he said, "so is it true with man." Tn speaking of individual interest and selfishness, Mr. Cox said, "Not for their own pleasure should men and Women desire the best of opportunity, but for the sake of others." .'We have, each of us, that within us which will, if it is cultivated, make us better. What we need is loyalty to the right." DOCTOR PERISHO SPEAKS TO FRIENDS IN RALEIGH Doctor Perisho lias had an extra full calendar lately, in that his time has been almost filled up with trips away from the colege to make addres ses. Last Sunday he addressed the Friends of Raleigh at the Y. M. C. A. He reports a very active group of Friends there, although their limited number has caused them to hesitate ill estalislting a church there.
