DEFENSE IS GOOD
Rufus Smith And Bob Griffin Star
In Carolina Game
The regular basketball season open
ed here last week with the Quaker
quint showing up in good style. In j
their first college game they defeated
the strong Atlantic Christian College
team by a score of 40 to 18. They |
however, suffered defeat at the hands !
of the University team by a score of
44 to 20.
THE CAROLINA GAME
The Guilford College basketeers j
threw a scare into the camp of the
mighty Tar Heel men last Saturday
night when, after a rather poor start
in the first half, they came back and j
threatened to tie the score in the last
period. The final count stood 44 to
20 in favor of the Tar Heel.
The game opened up rather slowly j
and neither side could score for the |
first few minutes. Later the Quakers
came through for six points. While j
the Carolinians had only five chalked
up. At this stage of the game the
Quaker offensive weakened and fail
ed to make further showing during
the first canto. The Tar Heels spurted
up their offensive and scored a total
of 24 points during this period.
In the last half the real Quaker
fighting spirit came out and the Uni
versity men nosed out with only a
few more points during this period
than did the Giulford men.
During the entire gam the Quaker
defense work was superior to that of
the Carolina squad but the cool
smooth working defense of the Uni
versity men proved more effective in
chalking up t!-e necessary points.
Shirt Smith was the high point
scorer for Culiford. He made nearly
all his chances good from the field
but he was off form in foul shooting.
Probably the most spectacular plav
er on the floor was "Little" Bob
Griffin, whose floor work was satis
fying to the fans.

A, C, C. DEFEATED
Coach Dnak's basketeers got their
machine into motion and took the
big end of a score 40 to 18 score
from the Atlantic Chri'tian collese
team in a game that attained the
roughness of classic football before
the contest was over.
From the beginning it was evident
that the visitors were booked for de
feat. Before the first quarter had
elapsed the locals had run up the
score to eight points and the Christ
ians were still blanked. Then Rig
gan got a field goal and by the half
the score stood 23 to 6 in favor of
the local aggregation.
In the second half a number of the
Quaker reserves went into the scrap
for a greater part of the remainder of
the contest. This probably kept the
score from being still larger.
In spite of the unqueal score, both
teams looked good on the floor. Every
break went against the visitors, and
In spite of this they came through
with a decent score, while opposed
by a team that worked like a mach
ine. The locals did short precise pass
ing yet snapped the ball down the
court in an uncanny way that never
gave it rest until it had warmed the
sides of the hoop.
FRESHMEN WIN OVER KING
BUT LOSE TO OAK RIOGE
Marshall and Robertson Star In
Both Games
The Quaker freshmen got away to
a good start with their basketball
schedule last week, by taking an easy
game from the King high school and
!>" playing the Oak Ridge quint air
tight game.
I Their first contest was on the home
court. Here they got into action
j against the King quint and won the
j contest by a 19 to 6 score. The scrap'
j had all of the proverbial caveman
I roughness. Both teams were composed
!of heavyweights and the 10 players
j threw every ounce of their avoirdu
| pois into the battle in a manner to
j make the timid quail. From start to
finsh it was a defense contest on the
part of each faction.
At the outset the affray did not
i look one-sided. Hooker started the
I scoring for the visitors and for some
little time th e invaders held the lead
| but by the end of the quarter the
! locals ahead. At the half the
| score stood 11 to 2 in favor of the
locals. After that their score advan
i ced steadily without much danger
from the scoring of the King boys

foul shots.

The Nobel Prizes are a ol
five annual prizes awarded from a
fund of $9,000,000, bequeathe)- for
the purpose of encouraging discov
j eries in the fields of Physics. Clie'iis
try Medicine, better literature, anil in
methods for establishing International
I peace.
| Alfred B. Nobel. ( 1833-96 > was a
fanous Swedish scientist, inventor
and manufacturer of explosives. He
had no college education but with
his brilliant and inventive nii'id he
wa? able to win great financial sue
j ress. All his life Mr. Nobel was ex-
I tremelv interested in literature and
I world peace, hence in his will he
j provided for the Nobel Prizes.
These prizes of $40,000 each, are
divided equally among recipients for
distinguished work in Physics.
Chemistry. Medicine. Literature, and
in the promotion of world peace. Can
didates for prizes must be nominated
bv duly qualified specialists in each
field. If no candidate measures up to
the standard, no award will be made.
The Judges who determine the win
ners of the prizes are members ot
Swedish and Norwegian Academies, j
The *40,000 award has often been
divided between two equally deserv
ing candidates.
Of the 116 individual recepients of
Nobel prizes since their foundation j
in 1901, eight have been from the j
United States. The United States
has won in every field except litera- j
ture. Three of the Nobel Prize win

Auditorium New Association
Formed
On December the 12th representa
lives n f the Glee Clubs of the State
i met at Chapel Hill to form a con
federation of Clee Clubs. The object
of this organization is to hold a
State contest every year, thus mak
ing certain that North Carolina will
have a representative in the contest
held by the Southern Glee Club Asso
| ciation. The winner of this contest in
i turn will compete in the National
Cle e Club Contest held at New York.
Previous to thisttiem e the contest has
been sponsored by the Civic Clubs of
Durham. Under their aid the con
-1 test has been held there for the last
j four years. Everything was satisfac
tory about this arrangement except
that it was rather indefinite. The pre
\ sent confederation will insure a con
test every year. Then too, the Dur
ham arrangement w-as not authorized
i and official. The Glee Gub were the
guests of the Durham Clubs and in
debted to their hospitality. All ex
penses were paid by the Durham Clubs
|so that the Glee Clubs of the State
might come and participate in a con
test that would increase the interest
of the public in Glee Clubs and
arouse an incentive for better work
in the clubs themselves by bringing
them in contact with each others
work. This arrangement has been
altoge'her successful but was not on
i a sufficiently stable basis to rely upon
for the future. However, any city
wanting the contest may invite the
Association and if tbeir invitation
i accepted the clubs will meet there.
This year the Durham Chamber of

MISS LOCKE TELLS OF
COUNTY WELFARE WORK
Sneak Before Meetinp Of The
Y. IF. C. .4.
A Guilford Countv welfare worker
Miss Helen M. T.orke. spent the even
ing of January 1 t .-t the Collcpe. At
the Y. W. C. A. she discussed in a
forceful talk the twelve practical
problems that confront the welfare
workers. Mi=s I.ocke has had a large
experience in this line of work and
is acquainted with these, problems
from the point of the sufferer, and all
upon whom he has any influence.
Hie greatest of these problems she
considers alcohol and dope. It is not
the greatest because of the elTect of
the drug upon the Individual but be
cause of the influence upon the famliv,
the society worker, and the crimes
that the effect leads to. Sickness is
another problem the welfare workers
have to oleal with; diseases like tuber-
rulocis and small troubles as adenoids
and tonsils. Athough the county wel
fare department provided ample facil
ities to care for these things, it is
not always easy to get ignorant peo
ple to take advantage of medical
care.
The evasion of the public school
law is the hardest problem for be wel
fare worker. For as Miss T.ocke, said,
"How can you expect the workers to
have any influence on the children
when the parents have not?" In giv
ing the last porblem, Miss Locke re
minded us of th e fact that it was
difficult to know just what to do with
the lazy and worthless people.
Guilford County is doing much to
help the people in the county. It is
giving money, homes, medicine, and
people who tak e a great personal in
terest in the welfare of the communi
ties.
Events happen from time to time
which illustrate the folly as well as
the sinfulness of trying to live a
double life. Drinking liquor and
flaunting the usages of respectable
society cannot be kept secret for long.
Hell cannot be smothered up indefi
nitely; it gets rotten ripe and bursts
out.
NUMEROUS NEW COURSES
TO BE OFFERED DURING
THE INCOMING SEMESTER
English Department Has
Several Choice
Courses
By Catherine Shields
The second semester is drawing so
near that students (especially the
j studious are beginning to
wonder and surmise over probable
' courses that professors will likely
I lie holding out shortlv to tempt those
I who thirst for knowledge.
Of course thee do lint include the
"Study Of The Four Gospels" or His
tory Of The Christian Church" that
inevitably comes every year along with
the spring da.ndelions, nor anv other
second semester course, hut is limited
to those verdant and tender new
courses that each year find their way
into the curriculum here at Guilford.
Tt is rumored, and the rumor came
hv various by-paths from a reputable
source, that Madam Hoffman is plan
ning to turn over a new leaf this
spring, and forget all past grievences,
that is, she is giving all unhanpv and
discontented students a chance to
drop any French, Spanish or German
that they are flunking, and take a
new. second seme a ter. course in be
ginning French. French la. It is for
three hours college work, and the other
half year can be made up later at
summer school. All consiencious per
sonages are advised to think this over
seriously and remember that threo
credit hours is much better than one
flunk!
New English Course
Mr. Wilson is holding out the most
tantalizing bit of all. He offers to
any and all a brand new course in
Journalism, with a chance to try one's
hand 111 real newspaper work. All
juniors, seniors and sophomores are
advised to get their bids in early.
\nd it's almost a safe tiling to add
that outside reading will be nil. but
that the aspirant should lay in a large
sunply of pencils—soft lead.
American literature is also coin
ing to the front, despite chapel talks
to the contrary. Quite a large and
satisfying number have signed for this
work, but if any one is still desirous
of entering he may be able to get an
application through Prof. Wil?on.
Home Nursing and Child care is to
•be o.ne of the big drawing cards in
the Home Economic Dtpartment this
spring. Whether or not the faculty
children will volunteer to be used
as practice material has not been
announced. However most girls have

MILO HINKI E SPFIKS
IN CH'PFL EXERCISE
Rev. Milo Hinkle. pastor of the
\shboro Street Friends church, in
Greensboro, made a forceful address
to the students and faculty in chapel
here last Tuesdav.
The speaker prefaced his address
with the story of the volunteer who
offered to carry the message from the
president of the United States to
Garcia, the revolutionary leader of
the Cuban forces, who was secreted
somewhere in the fastnesses of the
Cuban wilds. This event, which
happened near the close of the nine
teenth century, was made symbolical
of what a perfect Christian life should
be. According to the speaker, there
are present day Garcias, who are
lost in the fastnesses and recesses of
politics, business life, society, modem
industry, and to bring the analogs
closer, in the life here upon the
colleee campus.
Mr. Hinkle recently came from thf
mission field to take over the pastor
rate of the Friends meeting in Greens
boro.
