The "Fighting Quakers" ended their basketball season last week with one vicotry and two defeats. The games with the Richmond Blues rnd N. C. State College were fast and exciting, but the g> me with Wake-Forest was poorly played. DEFEAT RICHMOND BLUES Guilford College defeated the Rich mond Blues, Monday night, in a close game by the score of 29-26. The game was an uphill fight for the ! Quakers and furnished thrills aplenty for the spectators who were largely ! Guilford adherents. The Blues started ofT with a rush; rolling up a 14-5 lead in the first 12 | minutes of play. The Quakers called time out at this juncture. This act proved effective, and the Blues were un able to score again until the Guilford Quint had evened the count. As the time grew short the game be came a man to man battle but this filed to net many points for either j leam, although the Quakers had a slight edge. For the Blues, Jones was the high j light, his defense work being un equaled on th Belues team. Wharton was also good. For Guilford, Ferrell and Tew easily outshone their team mates. Tew's guarding w.s exception ally good. i Lineup and Summary: Guilford 20 Richmond 26 R. Smith 1111 v . llollaily (8i ; F - ! R. Feirell (10> Bell (6i 1 F * I S. Moore (5,1 Wharton 10; | C. P.

STATE WINS BY ONE POINT The Stale College Quint was forced to go an extr period Thursday night defe t Guilford 32-31. The Quakers obviously outplayed the State five throughout the game. The contest was a hard fought melee , and equaled the Lenoir Rhyne game for excitement. The Quakers scored first with a foul shot. Stale then rolled in two points .nd the score proceeded to see-saw back and forth to a 15-13 count in favor of State at the half. The guard ing was superb, Tew being especially good for Guilford while McDowell was starring for State. Moose's defense playing was also of the highest c.fibre. At the outset of the second half Guilford daz/Jed the State team with an offensive charge which tied the score 18-18, in a few moments, Smith and Ferell starring in the rejuvenation.; Smith caged ;.n over-hand shot to give Guilford the lead but State tied again. ' Smith shot another from past the center point, the ball sailing through without touching the liioop. A foul j point and another field goal gave Guil- j ford a 25-20 lead. However, State i proceeded to drop in two long ones 1 reducing the Qu ker lead to one point, which was soon turned into a one point lead for State. Smith came through with another goal which State evened up with a foul shot. Thus the score stood, 27-27, when the time was called for the second half. Smith and Ferrell shot a goal apiece (Continued on page 3.) PRINCIPAL OF PALMER SCHOOL GIVES AO3RESS ON THE RACE QUESTION Male Quartan Entertains If'itli Several "Negro Spirituals" A party including Mrs. Brown, the principal, and the male quartet from the Palmer Memorial Institute, a school for the colored, gave to the .school of Mi-sions Sunday night a very interesting educational program. After the quartet sang a group of three popular negro melodies, as the opening part of the program, Mrs. Brown gave a splendid talk on the | great race question which is now con ! fronting the people of the United | States. In her talk Mrs. Brown emphasiztd the fact that the negro race is not asking that it be placed on j the same level with the white race in j order that the two might intermarry or ' attend the same churches but that it is asking that the white people give the j negroes a chance to develop. Also j that they be given equal privileges ' and rights especially in the court room. In the latter part of her talk the ' speaker gave a brief history of the growth and development of the Palmer | Memorial Institute which i situated | about twelve miles east of Greensboro. | The school, fi st known as Sedalia, be gan about fifteen years ago in a log hut with an enrollment of les* than fifty. Now the Institute since new j biddings have been added has an en rollment of about a hundred and fiftv. i After Mrs. Brown's talk the j quartet sang another negro selection j as the last number of the program. CHINESE ESTIMATION OF CHRISTIANITY DISCUSSED I Mr. Stauffer, etluc ;*ona' Secretary lof the Student Volunteer movement, spoke in chapel Friday morning, Febru ary 26. lie lias done a great ileal of work in Chini. Whi'e there he became acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Cole, who entertained him while on the campus. Mr. Stauffer g ve us direct informa l-ion concerning China's attitude to wards our civilization and our Chris tianity. '"The present hour in chris -1 lian missions should not be judged I om a traditional point of view. Chris tian ,mis=ions are progressing anil the I resent generation is apt to visu lize i them not as they are to-day but as they were 20 years ago. They must be judged as they will be in the future and not as they have been in the past. Mr. Stauffer stated that Chin is in the midst of humiliating consternations. | She looked upon Westerners during i their period of discovery and inven tion as foreign devils. As soon as j they saw our efficiency they began to j copy us. Efficiency was their motto. The war gave China a different ide.i !of the west. She found that it was I not all pure gold. They began to look ion the west with critical eye, and to j think of a new civilizaion of their own. | fn a few schools some of the students j rebeled against our christian teachings. | They pasted the following question on ; the door of the missionary teacher, "Who are you, to teach Chinese boys i Christian ethics? You had better go back and teach the American Congress men." China looks on the Western Chris tians ss being in league with capital ism. We must show China the real christian spirit with regard to war, race, and standards. Until we do this they will remain skeptical of our sincerity." GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MARCH 4, 1926.

She pointed out three noted places where one may go to see this artistic reproduction of religion, in reality. These are: Gallery of the British Museum, in which may be Imind little houses luiilt by the Egypt i ns signifying the house of the soul; Dagon Pagoda in Rangoore, Birma. In ill's Pagoda everything gave ex pression to art. This too was used for a rc'igicn; In Trnita dei Monti in Rome, religion and worship were ex t -c it ne form of the beautiful. In n odern days literature and music ire die mean- of expressing religion, file Egyptians were trying to express 'ie ilea if immortality; they were pre > ing a hone for the soul. Art has not always flourished. There was a time of rivalry when every Pope wanted his Cathedral the finest. These arts were stolen. I here has been in the minds of the M'ople the love for the beautiful from the beginning. "The most beautiful thing we can make," said Mrs. liaworth. "is a fitting gift to God." Why have the Protestants not carried over all these arts? Music has been practically the only one that has not been discarded. Jews anil Friends have simple meeting places. Why have they discarded these arts? The Jews probably because of the First Commandment. The Quakers say God is a Spirit. Why could there not been some way f using these arts without abusing litem? There was too much beauty to commune with God. " Why can't we keep our worship simple," Mrs. Haworth stated in closing, "and let there be really worship. The most beautiful thing we can offer is a liv ing spirit." Miss Huth closed the program with a musical selection, '"Prayer" by P. lestrina. I CAMPUS CALENDAR March 5.

' was elected captain of the "Fighting Quaker baseball team for the com- j ing season. "Uu" is following the | willow for his foutth ye. r. Captain English has as a basis for : his team six letter men who played last year. The veterans, together with the abundant supply of new material, should blend into a te 111 of the first calibre. For the past three years English has held down one of the most difficult positions on the field and on the whole has very few errors chalked up against him. He is always on the job when a difficult chance or h ril try coa.es his way. It is reported that "Uu" always comes tlrough in the pinches anil swats the apple when necessary to score thi- winning run. Captain English reports that there is an abundance of m terial to pick from this year. Be-ides five other letter men who have had much season- ] ing and baseball experience there are twenty five other candidates, trying out for positions. The squad promises to be larger than any squ d during the past few years. Already the aspirants are being put through light daily workout consisting of batting practice and long cross county run-, rhe team will miss very much the l three varsity men th t failed to re turn this year. However, with much new material to pick from there is every indication that there will be a very successful season.

After the election of the other re- j porters the Board will be complete. Judging by the splendid work done in the try outs of the newly elected re porters great efficiency may be ex pected. THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD MULE SUPERANOATED ON GUILFORD'S DAIRY FARM Old Cass" Is Mow Living A [Life Oj Ease And Pleasure. BY HARVEY DINKINS II isn't 'exactly correct etiquette to enquire into a lady's age, usually. How ever, if the lady is so old as that she refers to her age with a good deal of pride, it is a different matter. If she is a lady who has lived to see aristo i:ratic families rise in their glory and, with the turn of fortune, sink again; il she has seen the community in which she lives grow and evolve through cycles of time until she can :as it were, out of a dead past, then | you can speak vaguely of her age with comparative safety and with the feeling that it will not be resented. This story involves the age of a mule, c. Lady Mule. This Lady Mule has lived over a span of thirty-seven years. Records that cannot be dis j puted have estab'ished that. The fact j t hat she was purchased as a five-year old from a horse trader may warrant | the statement that she is even older than that, possibly forty years old, but this account must sirk to facts, j This Lady Mule lives at the dairy ' barn, in the pastures where the dairy cattle graze, in the green, open rye , fields, and ; jnong the green meadows ,of the Guilford College farm. In : other words, she is a sort of member • d the Asinine Royally and is retired on an annuity with the privilege of i being exempt from any public service | except at times of great public stress, i i That expository paragraph violates all rules of rhetoric, but tlie pooi rhetorics j will h ve to get along by themselves!) It was back in the late eighties or the early nineties when this mule was brought to the college .long with I Continued on page 4.) COLLEGE STUDENTS SEE CLEMEN'S MARIONETTES A 'urge group of Guilford College •Indents went i t a body t.i the Guil ford liigh school lust night to see a program that harked back to the days when the cinema had not been con ceived. This program was a perform ance put on by Clemens Marionettes. It was a clever little play staged by puppets, inpersonating I lie characters in the story of '"Jack and the Bean stalk , a classic tale that has served to amuse countless American children in the grade school'. lour acts were required to carry out th eintensely interesting drain; l . The fi r st showed Jack in his home; the second showed the youthful hero on his way to ihe ca-tle of the giant after he had climbed the beanstalk into the land of the sky; the third act showed his valorous deed of slaying the gaint in his own castle and possess ing himself of the treasure of gold which, of coures, lay handily by ready for the taking; the last act showed the great joy with which his mother and the neighbors received him home with his treasure. The Clemens management prefaced the show with a discussion of the work ings of the Mannikin or Marionette form of entertainment and told some thing of the history of it. He traced the name back to its origin in the church where there were used little images of the Virgin Mary which fin ally became known by the name of Marionette, or Little Marias. Announcement was made to the ef fect that on Saturday night, Manch 6, at eight o'clock, an old time "Fid dler's" convention would be held in the high school auditorium. No. 19.
