First Time on North Carolina

Marshall and Coltrane Doing Great
Work as Guards, While Coble and
Haworth Shoot Well
Feb. 11.—Last Saturday night the
Quaker five upset the dope-bucket by
defeating the strong William and Mary
aggregation to the tune of 33-23. The
latter team had met only with success
in her tour through North Carolina and
was expected to down Guilford easily.
The Quakers took the lead in the
first minute of play, but a series of
fouls and a field goal enabled William
and Mary to pull ahead a point or two.
From then until the half it was a nip
and tuck affair. The half ended with
the visitors leading, 16-13.
At the beginning of the second half
the Quakers unleashed a dazzling at
tack which bewildered William and
Mary, and did not cease until the final
whistle blew.
The passing attack of the Quaker en
abled them to shoot crip shot after crip
shot which, mixed with three long field
goals, soon put Guilford in front with
a comfortable lead. The work of the
Guilford guards was outstanding
throughout the. game. Time after time
they intercepted passes and broke up
numerous shots on their way to the
basket. So effectively did they guard
that William and Mary got only one
crip goal during the last half.
Haworth, Guilford's ace, led the Qua
kers with eight points. Marshall and
Coble tied for secoind honors with six

INITIATION HELD BY 'G'
CLUB SATURDAY NIGHT
James Cox, Wildman, Murphy, Beamon,
Cannon, Benton, and Cheek Made
Members by Club Ritual
GROTT HOYLE PRESIDENT OF CLUB
Feb. 11.—Saturday night the men who
made letters in football during the past
season were received into the "G Club."
They were James Cox, Wildman, Mur
phy, Beamon, Cannon, Benton, and
Cheek.
The "G Club" is a new organization on
the hill, being formed only last fall.
Those men who have made one letter in
any sport previous, to the fall of 1927
are charter members. The purpose of
this club is to create a better spirit
among the letter men and to aid in
rushing new material from high schools.
Cranford Hoyle is president and Moore
Rabb is secretary of this organization.
The initiation rituals were held in
the local wood-box (the gymnasium).
The fighting spirit of the Quakers was
shown very well during the initiation
when they ate raw oysters and Limber
ger cheese without a murmur. "W." "D."
Benton proved very adapt at eating raw
oysters and Limberger cheese and asked
for more. After the new members had
made speeches, they were given the
right hand of fellowship by the charter
members, and then all proceeded to en
joy sandwiches and cold drinks. Be
sides the letter men and Coach Craw
ford, Dean Trueblood, Professor Pur
dom, and Doctor Ott were present, and
seemed to enjoy the occasion very
much.
a;THE so
GUILFORDIAN
Freshman Basketball
Since the Freshmen showed such
a great interest in the class basket
ball team, Coach Crawford suggested
that a manager be selected and
games arranged with high school
teams in this locality. Vaughn Wy
rick was chosen manager and sev
eral games have been secured.
The Freshmen defeated the fast
Clemmans High quintet here Friday
night, 49-20. 'Though the score was
a bit one-sided, it was a fast and in
teresting game with the Freshmen
staging a sensational spurt during
the last few minutes of play. G.
Alley, of the Freshmen, was the
shining light, running up a total of
22 points.
In other practice tilts the Fresh
men have shown a great deal of
strength.
NTRAMURAL GAMES
NOW BEING PLAYED
Basketball Tournament a Sig
nificant Factor in Winning
of the Class Trophy
FRESHMEN HAVE EDGE
Feb. 11. —Keen interest is being
shown toward the inter-class basketball
tournament which got under way last
week. In the opening round of play the
freshmen defeated the sophs, the sophs
downed the juniors, and the juniors
emerged victorious over the seniors.
The freshman-sophomore battle was
close and hard fought, the two teams
being about evenly matched. The su
perior teamwork of the freshmen en
abled them to grab the big end of the
final score, 25-20.
The sophomore-junior engagement was
not so close but even more hard fought.
Several of the participants suffered
sprains and bruises as a result of the
floor-work of Hoyle, brilliant junior
guard. Due either to nervousness or
over-anxiousness, Hoyle soon fouled out
of tlie game and from then on the
sophomores enjoyed a comparatively
easy time, the final score being 36-20 in
their favor.
The junior-senior game was a real
thriller. The lead swapped back and
forth several times before the juniors

IRA G. NEWLIN ELECTED
PRES. OF SENIOR CLASS
Sara Jinnette Is Secretary, Glenn Boose
and Evelyn Braxton Are Marshals;
Thesis Question Is Discussed
Feb. 7. —The Senior Class Tuesday
evening elected as president, Ira G.
Newlin, of Saxapahaw, and as vice
president, Joseph J. Cox. Miss Sarah
Jinnette will serve as secretary and
Glenn Boose and Miss Evelyn Braxton
as marshalls.
Featuring the class meeting was a
discussion 011 the question of the aboli
tion of senior theses. The general sen
timent of the class was against the
present requirements for theses. The
main point of objection lay in the fact
that at present these theses are done
mechanically, and are for the most part
re-statements of ideas, instead of ex
pressions of any thought.

WEBSTERIANS LEAVE
GUILFORDIAN BOARD
Feb. 10. —The Websterian Literary
Society at its regular meeting refused
to aet on the communieation sent them
by Editor-in-Chief Rozell, and through
its committee notified him that they
were "out for good."
This apparently brings to an end the
controversy which started on February
3, 1928, upon the receipt of the follow
ing letter by Editor Rozell:
"Editor-in-Chief of Guilfordian,
"Guilford College, N. C.
"Dear Sir:
"We, as a committee, appointed by
the Websterian Literary Society hereby
do notify you that we (the Websterian
Literary Society) have withdrawn all
our relations, both financial and reper
torial, from the Guilfordian.
BASKETBALL TEAM
IS ON TRIP NORTH
Optimistic Outlook for Quakers
Who Proved Their Valor in
Last Two Major Tilts
PLAY SEVEN BIG GAMES
Feb. 13.—After emerging victorious
in two major tilts during the past week,
the Guilford College Quakers left this
morning 011 an extended northern trip.
Tonight the Crawfordites met the
Lynchburg Hornets and it is certain
that the home team will be out to av
erage the stinging defeat the Quakers
handed them two years ago. Little is
known of the strength of the Richmond
Blues, who will be played in Richmond
Tuesday night, though in past years
games between the two teams have
been closely contested. Wednesday
afternoon the Guilford team will meet
William and Mary at Williamsburg and
as Guilford won handily from the lat
ter team Saturday night, chances of
repeating the victory are good. Ran
dolph-Macon is reported to have a
strong quintet and the game should be
closely contested and exciting when the
Quakers tie up with them at Ashland
Thursday night. From here the Guil
ford team goes to Washington, D. C.,
where Georgetown and George Wash
ington University will be encountered
011 successive nights. These are both
big schools, but according to compara
tive scores, Guilford is doped to win
one of the latter games. Manager
Parker and Coach Crawford are taking
the following men 011 the trip: Captain
Moore, Haworth, Coltrane, Marshall,
Yelverton, Coble, Ayers, Chisholm, Alley
and Griffin.
DWIGHT CHALMERS AT
GUILFORD FOR CHAPEL
Christ Is Only Man Found Flawless by
His Enemies—Christlike Is Highest
Adjective That Can Be Used
Feb. 7.—Those present in chapel
Tuesday morning heard a splendid talk
by Mr. Dwight M. Chalmers, pastor of
the Church by the Side of the Boad,
who selected his text from Matt. 10:24.
Mr. Chalmers spoke of the many
changes in education in which better
methods are always being developed.
There are social changes for better or
worse, but usually the moral standards
are raised. More women are entering
business than ever before, and this is
extremely noticeable early in the morn
ings when the laboring class of people
go to work.
"GURNEY LEE COLLINS,
"LESLIE MURPHY,
"WALTER ROBERTSON,
Committee."
No reason was given for this with
drawal, but it has been unofficially
learned from some of the members of
the withdrawing society that finance. 0
was the sole reason for the action.
In reply to this, Editor Rozell dis
patched the following letter:
"Websterian Literary Society,
"Guilford College, N. C.
"Mr. President:
"I have at hand the letter of the
Websterian Literary Society stating
their intention of withdrawing all sup

Religion Must Not Be an Opiate
Feb. 12.—The speaker for the second
meeting of the School of Missions was
Wilbur Iv. Thomas, eveeutive secretary
of the American Friends' Service Corfi
mittee. Wilbur Thomas mentioned five
significant things which have happened
to the Society of Friends in the past
ten years. In the first place, the war
jolted Friends out of their complacency
and caused them to realize the work to
be done. In the past 50 or 100 years
the conservatives have insisted on stere
otyped ways of doing and conformity
to the ways set by the world. In the
second place, Friends have won the con
fidence of the American people and the
rest of the world. The American pub
lic demonstrated its willingness to help
by donating 23 million dollars to the
work of the American Friends' Service
Committee although it was a pacifist or
ganization. The third significant event
in the past ten years is the relief work

GLEE CLUBS DISCUSS A
FEDERATED MUSIC CLUB
The Club Will Give First Program at
Ashehoro Street Friends Church
in Greensboro on February 11
WOULD BE IN NATIONAL GROUP
Feb. 9.—Thursday at 12:30 o'clock
The Minnesingers Glee Club, the Eu
phonian Glee Club, and the piano and
voice students of the college, met in the
Zatasian Society Hall, to discuss the
formation of a Federated Music Club
at Guilford College.
Mr. Max Noah, head of the music de
partment, presented the matter to the
assembly. In forming a Federated Club
at Guilford, the club is a member of
the State Federation of Music Clubs,
and automatically becomes a member of
the National Federation. The club will
receive all the literature of the Na
tional Federation and will also have an
opportunity to send one, ki not both, of
its Glee Clubs to the annual confer
ence.'
Mr. Noah read a letter from the
Secretary of the State Federation, in
which the Guilford College Music De
partment was invited to become a mem
ber of the State Federation. The as
sembly voted unanimously to accept the
invitation.
The executive committees of the Min
nesingers and the Euplionian Glee
Clubs are to act as a nominating com
mittee to bring forward names for offi
cers. The organization is to be in name
only. It is to gain publicity for the
college and not to monopolize the time
of the members.
The club will be financed by its mem
bers. Each one will pay a small fee
each year, and a fund will be estab
lished by proceeds from double con
certs given by the Minnesingers and
Euphonian Glee Clubs. The first con
cert held for this purpose, will be given
Sunday evening, February 11, 1928, at
8 o'clock, at the Asheboro Street Friends
Church in Greensboro.
