March 3. —Creaking doors, strange
voices, clanging gongs and mysterious
noises predominated throughout the
performance of "The Cat and the
Canary," a mystery play in three parts,
which was presented in Memorial Ilall
Saturday night by the members of the
Dramatic Club of Liberty High School.
The audience was small, yet proved to
be most appreciative.
It is the general belief that this is
the best high school play ever pre
sented here. The members of the cast
were well chosen. The stage setting
and acting showed the result of much
work on the part of t lie director,
"Skinny" Burke, an ex-Guilfordian
dramatist. It will be remembered that
"Skinny" brought a play here last year,
but this one was far better than the
previous one.
The plot deals with a will which has
been written twenty years. According
to orders, it is supposed to be opened
at midnight, just -0 years after the

Coach Pat Crawford, flashy third
sacker for Greenville, S. C., last year
and coach of the Guilford Quakers, has
issued a call for all prospective base
ball players to report for practice
pending one of the hardest schedules
the Quakers ever faced.
At a meeting of the ten letter men,
who reported this year, Robert Griffin,
who has for three consecutive years
held down the Quakers' third sack, was
elected captain of this year's squad.
Griffin last year turned in one of the
highest batting and fielding averages
of the whole squad.
Coach Crawford is greatly pleased at
this year's prospects. There were 87
who reported for practice at the first
call and of this number ten are letter
men. The leaders of the pitching staff
are M. Rabb and P. Coletrane, who
will be assisted by C. Gough, C.
Zachary, and J. Williamson. Other
promising members of the squad in

Possibility of Guilford Men Trying for Rhodes
Scholarship Is Called to Attention of Students
The possibility of Guilford stu
dents receiving Rhodes scholar
ships is rather remote, but never
theless it is worth trying for.
Since no one from Guilford lias
ever received the scholarship, per
haps it would be well to give a
short history of the foundation. It
was established many years ago by
the very wealthy Englishman, Cecil
Ithodes. lie gained his wealth in
the diamond mines of South
Africa, but considered that lie
should put bis material possessions
to some worthy and lasting cause,
something that would promote
world fellowship and universal en
lightenment. Of all the possible
ways of creating unofficial ambas
sadorships. he considered education
to he the most desirable of all.
Not only did he offer these fellow
ships to the intellectual leaders of
Germany and the I'. S. but also to
Canada, South Africa, New Zea-

DR. PERISHO REMOVED TO
WESLEY LONG HOSPITAL
Dr. Perisho's Condition Becomes Seri
ous After Introducing Dr. Erskine
to Large Audience
Dr. Perisho, who has been suffering
from a severe cold and other complica
tions, was removed Sunday afternoon
to the J. Wesley Long hospital in
Greensboro, for observation, and where
he may receive the most efficient care.
Dr. Waldo Holt, of Greensboro, a
former student of Guilford, is the phy
sician in charge. Dr. Perisho intro
duced Dr. Erskine to a large audience
when he spoke in Greensboro Wednes
day night. Erskine was Dr. Perisho's
superior officer in the educational
branch of the A. E. F. in France dur
ing the world war. Dr. Perisho also
taught his classes on Friday, but as his
condition was worse Saturday and Sun
day, he was removed to Greensboro
where Dr. Holt might be in more con
stant attendance.
At the hospital Sunday night, lie was
reported resting better, and his con
dition seemed more favorable.

of the very highest type the stu

furnish. The applicant, to be re

lectual leader, hut equally well
fitted in all respects, leading in his
studies, athletics, social life, and
general student activities.
The committee in charge selects
one man from each of t lie 48 states

the fellowship entitles him to free
study in Oxford for three years,
with sufficient financial help so that
he never need to worry about
funds. During the vacations the
student is enabled to travel any
where upon the continent he
wishes.
Guilford has several students
who are well qualified for these
fellowships, so we hope that all
those interested will make appli

A. K. MOORE SPEAKS
ABOUT REAL ESTATE
Gives Divisions of Real Estate
Business and Possibilities of
Career in That Line
IS GUILFORD GRADUATE
Feb. 28. —Mi - . A. K. Moore, president
of the Guilford College Alumni Asso
ciation, spoke to the student body in
chapel Tuesday morning. Mr. Moore
chose as the topic for his talk, "Real
Estate, and the Functions of a Real
Estate Man."
A man formerly went into real estate
as a trade when he was a failure in
any other trade, and usually lie turned
out to be a poor real estate man.
Today the very opposite is true, a man
must make extensive preparation be
fore lie enters the real estate business,
lie must know the laws governing the
sale of land, he must be able to judge
the present and future value of prop
erty, and he must know how to
advertise.

PRESIDENT AND MRS. BINFORD
ENTERTAIN UPPER CLASS BOYS
March 4. —President and Mrs. liin
ford entertained a large number of
boys of the junior and senior classes at
breakfast Sunday morning.
Grapefruit, cereal, bananas, waffles,
and maple syrup, and coffee were
served to the evident enjoyment of all
the boys, and especially Red Rozell,
Grott Iloyle, and Stanley Moore, who
were accounted winners of the' unoffi
cial waffle-eating contest. According to
the old adage, a receptive mind accom
panies a satisfied appetite, and the dis
cussions following the breakfast were
proportionately fertile. The guests took
completion tests in biblical facts to as
certain their compartive rating with
the ten-year-old Binford twins. Selec
tions were read from Ben Hur, and va
rious religious discussions followed.

ELON FIVE BOWS
TO QUAKERS WITH
SCORE OF 40 TO 26
First Half Close With Teams
Fighting Hard—Quakers Get
Big Lead Near End
A. C. C. GETS LOW SCORE
Close Game With Lead Changing Con
stantly—Final Score 32-30—Moore
Is Outstanding Player
March I.—-The Guilford College Qua
kers ended tlieir season with a glorious
victory over Elon. The score was 40-
2i. Guilford completely outplayed her
ancient rivals in nil departments of
the game and showed a lighting spirit
along with team play that would not
be denied. The game started off with
both teams seemingly evenly matched.
They played on equal terms until the
latter part of the first half when Guil
ford gradually pulled away and was at
one time ten points ahead. However,
just before the whistle blew Elon
scored four points and the half ended,
Guilford 2i!, Elon 20.
The final outcome of the game soon
seemed apparent, for the Quakers grad
ually forged ahead. The Elonites
seemed to have played their best game
in the first half, for they seemed tired
during the second half and became
frantic, shooting long shots with little
success. Due to. the excellent guard
ing, Elon secured only one field goal
during the second half. It would be
hard to pick a star in the game, for the
Crawford-coached men played as a unit.
The Quakers looked the part of the
well-eoached aggregation that they are.
Ila worth was high scorer for Guilford
with 14 points, however he could not be
called the star of the contest, for
Griffin, playing his last game, was every
where breaking up plays, passing with
great accuracy, and shooting splendidly.
He played as if inspired. Captain
Moore played a splendid game, one of

GUILFORD DEBATERS
MEET A. C. C. FRIDAY
Team Not Definitely Chosen—More In
terest Being Shown—Fans Are
Very Optimistic
THE TEAM IS PRACTICING HARD
The forensic fans about Guilford
College were rather discouraged as to
the outcome of the first debate, but
this was merely an opener; so the
season still holds great possibilities.
Those who heard either of the Ca
tawba debates feel certain that the
Guilford men were easily sueprior in
regard to the first speeches themselves,
hut were lacking in the ability to re
fute the opponents' statements. The
teams have been doing much work in
polishing up their delivery so the col
lege and community can well expect
some first class forensics when we
meet A. C. C. next Friday. Several
new men have been trying out for the
negative team, but at the time this
article went to press the definite selec
tion of the team had not been made.
