GUILFORD STUDENTS
WALK TO AIR FIELD
TO SEE LINDY LAND
Proves to Be the Largest Hike
of the Season Since Nearly
Every Student Is Present
PICNIC LUNCH IS SERVED
The Lindbergh Procession Returns Via
the College But Unfortunately a
Few Pedesterians Are Too Late
By CLAIRE TRUEBLOOD
It is hard to say anything new of
Lindbergh, but nevertheless, there are
many interesting things to say of the
hike to the airport. The main purpose
was to see "Lindy" and hear him speak
a few words, and if possible catch a
glimpse of that "millon-dollar smile."
When the hike was proposed the whole
student body almost with one accord
decided to go, as they considered every
thing else of lesser importance. This
fact, together with the announcement
that there would be no lunch served on
the campus Friday, brought out the
whole student body for the largest hike
of the season.
The group assembled in front of
Memorial Hall about 9 o'clock and
started a few minutes later. Everyone
took Ihe road leading west of the gate
way, as it was considered the best and

0-0 in First Home Game

Both Teams Make Successful
Gains in Forward Passes
and Long End Runs
VISITORS FUMBLE OFTEN
Parrish and Hoyle Do Splendid Work
For Guilford While Grant is
Outstanding; Virginian
Playing their first home game of the
season, the Fighting Quakers really lived
up to their name against Lynchburg,
Saturday afternoon. The game was
hair-raiser from beginning to end, and
the large crowd was kept guessing con
tinually as the two teams battled to a
0-0 tie.
Guilford played the best ball of the
season, completing several passes in
the first two quarters, and making some
substantial gains through the line. In
the second quarter she had the ball on
the 10-yard line, but lacked the extra
punch to put it over. The strong line
of the Hornets and their good secon
dary defense kept, the Quakers from a
single tally.
The game had only started when
Guilford took possession of the ball on
Lynchburg's 20-yard line. After gain
ing several yards Parrish fumbled one
of Robertson's passes. Lynchburg at
tempted a long forward pass, which
was interrupted and taken possession
of by Parrish. After a live-yard pen
alty for off-sides, Guilford was forced
to kick. Lynchburg fumbled again be
fore making a down, with Guilford re
covering the ball. Then Guilford be
gan what seemed to be the march to
victory, with Parrish carrying the ball.
They made one first down, but lost the
ball by half a yard in the middle of
the field on downs. Malone, fullback

Catawba Next
The excellent playing of the
Quakers last Saturday gave a new
hope for the game with Catawba
next Saturday. The team as a whole
possesses the fighting spirit that is
necessary to win the game. Strict
enforcement of training rules to
gether with a little optimism has
gone a long way toward making a
winning football team.
The Catawba team is in excellent
condition as there is none reported
on the sick list, therefore, they may
be able to give the Quakers quite a
little competition hut the dope is in
favor of Crawford's fighting Quak
ers.
STUDENT BODY HEARS
MISS WILKINS SPEAK
Sums Up in General What a Student
Should Get Out Of College
For the Future
Another student chapel talk of inter
est was given by Sallie Wilkins last
Thursday morning, October 13.
Miss Wilkins began her talk by
stating that "What we put into college
life and what we get out of it depend
on our purpose in coming to college."
The student should come to college with
the intent to develop mentally, morally,
physically, and spiritually. Making
good grades is not all there is to suc
cess in college; other activities must
enter. A strong physique is an attrac
tive addition to any personality, there
fore physical development should be
stressed. Miss Wilkins is also con
vinced that college men and women
are not less religious than others,

Tom Zachary, Pitcher for Washington Senators
and Alumnus of Guilford, Visits Guilford College
Tom Zachary, an old student of
Guilford and now a professional
baseball player, visited his alma
mater this week-end. Tom is on
his way home for the winter after
having had a very successful sea
son with the St. Louis Browns and
Washington. Zachary has played
with Washington since 1918 until
1926 when he was transferred to
St. .Louis. Near the end of the
first half of the past season he was
brought back to Washington, an
unusual thing in baseball.

As the fall season passes and the
time for the fall play approaches, it
is apparent that the dramatic council
is completing its organization and
preparing to give us one of the best
t'all plays Guilford students have wit
nessed in several years. The personnel
of the Dramatic Council has changed
considerably and they have lost the
valuable aid of Mrs. Raymond Binford,
Turner Moon, Francis Osborne and
Walter Robertson. There is, however,
much new talent 011 the campus and
two of these places have already been
filled. Professor Furnace, who has had
much experience in Dramatic work at
Earlham College and other places will
head the Council. Other members are
Wilmer Steele, Lena Farlow, Mr. Tur

TOM SYKES TALKS TO
STUDENTS IN CHAPEL
High Point Pastor Tells of Summer
Spent in Mountains of Western
Canada and Alaska
Rev. Tom Sykes held the interest
of the entire audience during the
chapel period Tuesday, October 11,
when he told of his trip to Alaska and
other points.
In his talk, Rev. Mr. Sykes said he
thought he knew something about Alas
ka until lie traveled there. The speak
er told of the beautiful flower gardens,
the virgin soil, the marvelous climate,
and the wonderful natural scenes in
the Lake and valley regions, which he
referred to as "inspiring sights and
monuments of God." Those magnifi
cent sights revealed something more
valuable than gold—"Don't be too
'cock-sure' about what you know." lie
said further, that after viewing these
marvelous masterpieces of nature he
was made conscious that man should
not grow so conceited over the build
ings and monuments that he, himself,
erects.
In conclusion the speaker said,
"Learn the fundamental laws and
principles of Him who loved us and
gave His best for us that we might
give our best in return."
Zachary was in college here from
1917 to 1920. During his stay,
Guilford won two state champion
ships in baseball. The lfi-inning
game with State in which the score
was 0-0 will be long remembered,
also the South Carolina tour when
Zachary pitched five days out of
six and won every game. Not only
was he fit for baseball, but he
made guard in the All-State foot
ball team in 1918. He also won
honor as a basketball player.
ELTON TRUEBLOOD
SPEAKS IN CHAPEL
Gives Resume of the Lecture
Which Will Durant Gave in
Greensboro Saturday
GENERAL TREND UPWARD
Elton Trueblood gave a short resume
Monday of the lecture 011 philosophy
whicli Will Durant had given in
Greensboro Saturday evening.
Will Durant became known about
May, 1926, when his book, "The Story
of Philosophy," was published, and at
present l(i printings have been made.
Mr. Durant has been able to state
things in his book so clearly that the
general public can understand it.
His lecture heading was "The Possi
bility of Human Progress." There are
people who believe that human progress
is not lasting. They say that with every
forward step there is one backward.
Greece and Rome are pointed out as
two nations which are now living on
the glories of the past. But, also, there
are other people who believe that the
human race has made, and still is mak
ing, progress. Take the entire human
civilization, for example. Our ances
tors used to live in eaves, but now they
live in houses. We as a nation are
more physically fit than the American
Indian. A test of the physical prowess
of Indians and Yale undergraduates
was made at New Ilaven. The Yale
men were superior in nearly every ath
letic event.
So, it seems that the general trend
of progress is upward and forward in.
stead of backward.
GIRLS ARE PREPARING
FOR FALL TOURNAMENT
From the beginning of school the
girl athletes have been practicing faith
fully, but have had 110 definite organi
zation. However, the class teams will
be selected in time to play oft' the in

weeks. Under the directorship of Mrs.
Andrews the girls are improving
speedily, and are showing signs of good
material for the game.
The class hockey captains were elect
ed recently and they will be on a con
stant look-out for the best players of
the squad who aspire to be the star
players of their team. Those elected
as captains are: Laura Ballinger,
senior; Nell Thomas, junior; Hannah
Griffin, sophomore; and Deborah Har

Outgrowth of Deep Concern to Prevent
the Development of Clinging Vines
By Granting Liberty of Choice
By SARA EDGERTON
The mass meeting held in Memorial
Hall, October 15, to discuss the sug
gestions for new student government
regulations was a milestone, as impor
tant in the progress of Guilford Col
lege as was Lindbergh's flight across
the Atlantic* in the progress of avia
tion.
Through the enlightened and unfail
ing effort of the deans of the eollege,
together with many others of the fac
ulty, and the heads of student govern
ment, Guilford has been enabled to
place a foot upon another higher round
of the ladder of development by which
she is mounting to her place as the
highest, finest, and most effective type
of institution for the training and
mental, spiritual, and moral prepara
tion of youth for life. The new rules
suggested for the regulation of the
social life of the students are a step
toward maturity and reasonable inde
pendence; they are a step away from
prep school petty rules and the conse
quent rule breaking. They give the
student a chance to bring the princi
ple of intelligent individual responsi
bility into social actions, as one has
been expected to bring it into one's
scholastic work in college. Through
the effort of the dean of women, the
dean of men, and those supporting
them, this new system of regulations
has been formulated and brought up
for trial. These new rules are to be
considered the college regulations for

QUAKER SECOND TEAM

Are Outstanding I'layers For Guil
ford While Cadets Play as a Unit
QUAKER TEAM SHOWS FIGHT
Oak Kidge reserves defeated Guil
ford reserves last Tuesday in a rather
interesting game of football, by the
score of 26 to 0.
It was a hard-fought contest and
since it was the first athletic contest
on Ilobbs field during the current sea
son, it was very much enjoyed by the
student body.
The game was fast from the begin
ning, with Oak Ridge holding the edge
throughout the contest. Oak Ridge
presented a massive front all through
the battle which the Guilford backs
could not penetrate. Guilford reserve
backs made considerable ground
around the Oak Ridge ends and got off
several passes.
Goodman, Wildman and Wooten were
the outstanding men for Guilford re
serves. The Oak Ridge team played
well as a unit.
