GUILFORD GRIDDERS
LOSE IN HARD FIGHT
TO CATAWBA ELEVEN
Quakers Get Bad Start on the
Initial Kick-Off, Which Was
Only Ten Yards
STAR BACKS ARE HURT
Catawba Takes Advantage of Breaks on
Soft Field and Scores in First
Few Minutes of Play
Guilford lost a hard fought game to
Catawba by a score of 6-0, Saturday
afternoon, October 22.
Catawba took advantages of breaks
011 a soft field and scored in the first
few minutes of play.
Guilford kicked only ten yards 011
the initial kick off. Catawba punted
to Guilford who fumbled the ball, 011
their own twenty yard line, with Cataw
ba recovering. A series of passes and
Catawba had scored the only marker
of the game. After this they did not
threaten.
Guilford got in scoring distance sev
eral times, but seemed to lack the
punch to put it over.
Two of Guilford's star backs were
hurt at the beginning of the game,
which hindered the Quaker chances
considerably. Parrish, plunging half
back, was hurt, on the first play, and
Captain Robertson played in a semi
conscious state from the first of the
game.

GUILFORDIAN
COLLEGE MARSHALS
ELECTED FOR YEAR
Faculty Selects Hoyle, Moore,
Rozell, Paul and Reece in
a Recent Meeting
CRANFORD HOYLE CHIEF
At a faculty meeting held some time
ago the following members of the Jun
ior elass were selected to serve as mar
shals for the school term of 1027-28:
Cranford Hoyle, chief; Stanley Moore,
Edwin Rozell, Josephine Paul, and Es
ther Reece are to serve with Mr. Hoyle.
The selection of Mr. Hoyle by the
faculty for chief marshal is considered
a recognition of his all-round ability.
In addition to ranking well among the
students and in scholarship, he has
also been active in athletics since com
ing to Guilford two years ago. He has
starred in the football line for the past
two seasons and has proven one of
Guilford's most outstanding players up
to date. The selection of Mr. Hoyle as
chief marshal is well received by the
students at large.

PROF. NOAH PLAYS A
GROUP OF CELLO SOLOS
First Time in Seven Years That Music
Director Has Had Training in Other
Instruments Than Piano
If Mr. Noah continues much longer
in presenting his ability in music lines,
he may eventually prove to be a whole
orchestra within himself. The student
body was quite pleasantly entertained
Thursday morning in chapel with a
group of cello solos.
This is the first time in several years
that the music director has had train
ing in other instruments than piano, so
naturally it is a treat to the college to
have this variation of chapel entertain
ment from time to time.
Mr. Noah played three numbers: "Pil
grim's Chorus" and "Evening Star" both
from the opera "Tannhauser" by
Wagner, and "Elegie" by Massenet.
Criminal Lawyers Change Their Stroke From
Minor to Major Key on Thirty-Seventh Count
Like a thunder bolt out of a clear
sky, the campus woke up last Friday
morning to find itself in the mist of
a "Rat" mutiny.
It seems that the day broke clear
and cool, and so some of the Fresh
men conceived the brilliant idea of ap
pearing- on the' campus in knickers and
golf hose. Of course, this in itself
was perfectly all right, but had they
consulted criminal lawyers before ap
pearing in this immodist attire, they
might have discovered that this was as
dangerous a policy as sleeping with
rattlesnakes.
However, this particular fine morning
found Rats Williams, Cude, Wray,
Hawortli, and Routh parading the
campus in rather vivid knickers. The
Seniors and Juniors were shocked and
horrified at the show. The Sophomores
were dumbfounded, and it was late af
ternoon before they could breath nor
mally. President Van der Voort of
the Sophomore class was the first to
recover, and he immediatly notified
emmergency Judge Cannon that his ser
vices would be in demand that night.
The court room was crowded when
the court was called, and there was lit
tle else going on. Special Prosecuting
attorney, Francis, was especially
groomed for the session, and not the

MRS. TUBBS OF BATES
IS VISITOR ON COMPUS

Christian Endeavor
IS ACTIVE IN RED CROSS WORK
Mrs. Tubbs of Lewiston, Maine, has
been visiting Guilford college for the
last few days. She has been 011 the
Bates college faculty for a number of
years.
Bates is noted for its International
debates and is one of the first co-educa
tional colleges to be established in
Maine.
Mrs. Andrews, our present dean of
women, served as Physical Director at
Bates for four years.
Mrs. Tubbs has been very active in
Red Cross, Welfare Work, and particu
larly the Mother-Daughter Clubs.
Friday night after the society meet
ings she spoke to all the girls. Her
title was, "The Girl Beautiful." Her
talk was very interesting as well as in

slightest trace of mercy could be found
iu his steel grey eyes. The docket
was quickly clear of the minor cases,
and Rat Wray was put 011 trial for
his life. In spite of the scarcity of
defense attorneys, a warm legal battle
ensued, and it was not long before the
judge was laborously, and perhaps
painfully, counting out 37. Williams,
Cude, Haworth, and Routh followed,
and the scene was a wild mass of
confused figures to the tune of 17, 31,
10, etc. The Sophomores worked stead
ily and industriously in relays and thus
they at last completed the work by
placing the responsibility of rolling the
girls tennis courts on the unfortunate
culprits.
Guilfordians returning from Greens
boro and elsewhere during the wee
small hours of the morning were rather
surprised to see figures moving around
the Girls' tennis courts by the light
of flash lights. On closer observation
they found that it was just "Sonnie,"
with the help of Cude and Routh, labor
iously and without haste, dragging the
Dean of Men across the courts on the
scraper.
It has been rumored that the New
Garden Girls are hoping that the time
will come in the near future when
it will be possible to have their courts
fixed up.
LOVING CUP AWAITING
THE TENNIS CHAMPION
The Championship Now Rests Among:
It. Griffin, R. Van der Voort,
and Worth Mackie
SEVENTEEN STUDENTS TAKE PART
Much interest has been manifested
in the boys' tennis tournament this fall.
The tournament was planned and spon
sored by Professor Pancoast, who has
generously offered a beautiful silver cup
to the winner of the tournament. In
all, seventeen men have participated in
the contest. The players were paired
off and preliminary matches played un
til all but eight of the players were
eliminated. The skilful eight were:
Ourrie Spivey, Byron Haworth, Glen
Boose, Worth Mackie, Richard Cox,
Robert Griffin, Charles Coble, and Rob
ert Van der Voort. The above-named
men have been playing a "round robin"
during the past three clays and some
very exciting and skilful tennis matches
have-been played between these men.
At present the championship rests
among Robert Griffin, Robert Van der
Voort, and Worth Mackie. These
matches will be played the first of the
week, and the champion will receive
the cup.
PROF. FURNAS GIVES
A DIALOGUE OF BOOKS
Books Ask Dramatist to Carry an Ap
peal to Student Body That They
Read More Library Books
Professor Furnas, in his chapel talk
Tuesday morning, told of the Jewish
father who, having placed his small son
on top of a step-ladder told him to
jump. The boy, being rather dubious,
asked, "Papa, will you catch me?"
Upon being reassured, he jumped, but
papa did not catch him. "Papa, you
didn't catch me," lie said accusingly,
as he picked himself up. And papa re
plied, "Yes, I wanted to teach you that
you mustn't ever trust anybody, not
even your own papa." That is the way
it is with books. In college we are ex
pected to read extensively, but we must
not believe everything we read.
Professor Furnas told how he had
been reading a ponderous volume on
Relativity in the Library. It was late
in the afternoon and the library was
deserted. Suddenly he heard a chorus
of tiny voices clamoring around him.
The library books were setting forth
their merits. In one corner Encyclo
pedia Britannica, Nelson's Encyclopedia

This Possible
THE QUAKER STAFF
GETS EARLY START
ON 1927-28 ANNUAL
Fances Osborne and Leslie Mur
phy Relate Plans in Mon
day Chapel
CONTRACT ALREADY LET
The Art Theme to Be Characteristic
Representations of Quaker History.
Comic Sections to Be Added
Fiances Osborne, who spoke in chapel
Monday morning stated that the staff
of the Quaker is busy working on the
dummy for the 1927-28 Annual. The
contract for printing the Quaker was
let to the Queen City-Printing Com
pany, Charlotte, N. C., and the Char
lotte Engraving Company is doing the
engraving. The Flynt Photographic
Company has been at work the past
week making individual pictures and
campus scenes for the annual. A great
improvement this year over the an
nual of last year, will be the fea
ture section. The feature section will
be composed of two parts, a comic and
a photographic section. The art theme
this year will be characteristic of that
history of the Quakers as portrayed in
the life of William Penn. The plan for
the division pages is to have pictures
such as, "Penn's Treaty with the In
dians." "Penn's First View of Phila
delphia from the Ship Welcome,"
"Penn's Conversation With King
James," and other interesting pictures.
The outstanding feature is the fact that
the characteristic pictures sponsored by
the various organizations will be taken
in Quaker costume.
Leslie Murphy, the managing editor,
also gave a short talk asking for the
co-operation of the students in making
this year's annual the best Guilford
has ever published.
PROFESSOR M'CRACKEN
AND CLASS TAKE TRIP
Visit New Greensboro Bank and Trust
Company to Study Entire System
of Good Banking Principles
THE TRIP PROVES WORTH WHILE
Prof. Duane McCraeken's classes in
Money and Currency, and Business
Finance had a most interesting and
worthwhile trip last Thursday. These
classes were adjourned at the college
for the afternoon in order that they
might visit the new Greensboro Bank
and Trust Company for study of bank
ing.
Before the trip the students were
asked to write out the questions which
they would like to know about bank
ing. A complete list of these questions
were taken by Professor McCracken in
order that the students might learn the
answers.
The classes were introduced by Mr.
Moore, the cashier, to two young em
ployes, Foster and Travis, who con
ducted the students through the bank.
The bank employes were very courte
ous and interested in explaining the
entire system of banking. All ques
tions were answered in the most cour-
teous and explanatory manner.
The questions asked were on the
general nature of banking. Some of
the principles of good banking were ex
plained to the students. The head of
the department and the classes both
feel that it was a worthwhile trip.
