Local Line Tears Elon's Forward Wall
to Shreds and Paves the Way for
Brilliant Runs of the Backs
October 2(5.—1n a rather one-sided
contest, the Quaker eleven smeared
their ancient rivals for a 7-0 victory
on Elon's home field.
In the first quarter, Smith kicked
from his 30-yard line and the ball went
out of bounds on the 50-yard line.
Through a series of line plunges Cox
and Moore carried the ball down the
field. Moore pushed the ball across
for a touchdown and Cheek kicked
the extra point.
Through a break, Elon approached
the Quaker goal once, but lacked the
necessary drive to carry the ball over.
Walker, through his off-tackle and
end runs, captured Elon's backfield
honors, while Cox, Bunn, Cheek, Par
rish, and Moore consistently ripped
through the Elon line for substantial
gains.
Lippencott started bis first game and
showed unusual capability at tackle,
while the performance of the line from
end to end was stellar. The Christians'
line gains were few and far between.
In spite of the fact that Shepard's
proteges were able to make only one
touchdown, most ot' the game was
played in the vicinity of Elon's goal
posts.
Neither team accomplished much
through aerial attacks. Guilford failed
111 all six of lier attempts at passing,

FACULTY TO PRESENT
TWO ONE-ACT PLAYS
Pretty Romance of Seventeenth Cen
tury to Contrast Sharply With Reali
ties of Modern Married Life
THIRD PLAY BEING CONSIDERED
Saturday evening, November 3, the
Guilford College Club will present two
or three one-act plays in Memorial
Hall, using this year their own mem
bers entirely for the east and hoping
to take in a substantial amount to be
added to the sum which is being raised
to pay for the improvements made in
the auditorium during the past year.
Miss Elizabeth Bruce is to play the
part of Sylvette, a petite French mai
den of the seventeenth century, and
Mr. Mumford will act as her young
lover in the play, "The Romancers,"
by Edmund Rostand. Both of the aris
tocracy have been sent away to school,
and upon returning to their homes,
find that their fathers are arch-enemies.
The old wall which separates the two
estates becomes a part of their para
dise —until the fathers find out. But
the ending depends all on these two
old gentlemen, M. Pasquinot and M.
Bergamin, the parts played by Dr. Wil
liam Lofton and Dean Elton Trueblood,
respectively. The dramatic art of Stra
forel, a professional, does much to
heighten the effective closing. Coach

GUILFORDIAN
Bonfire
Guilford celebrated victory over
her ancient foe by a huge bonfire Fri
day night. About 10:15 a terrific
racket broke loose which drew every
one on the campus out in front of
Archdale where a huge pile of gas
soaked wood was being lighted.
Cheers were given for the team,
after which short talks were given
by Coach Shepard, Dr. Binford, Cap
tain Hoyle, and several members of
the team, after which a jubilant
group of students sought their beds
to dream of future Guilford victo
ries.

GUILFORD DEBATERS
TO ORGANIZE SOON
North Carolina Forensic and
Oratorical Association
Meets at Elon
PATRICK VICE-PRESIDENT
Oct. 27.—The representatives of the
North Carolina Forensic and Oratorical
Association met at Elon College today,
selected a query for debate this year,
and fixed a schedule for the member
colleges to go by. Guilford will engage
in six debates within the association
this year. Of these the main attrac
tion will be the annual triangular de
bate with High Point and Lenoir-
Rhyne. In addition the Guilford argu
fiers will meet Elon and Atlantic Chris
tian College of dual debates.
The topic for debate this year will
be the one used by Phi Beta Kappa
concerning the worthiness of the pres
ent jury system. An exact statement
of the question has not been made.
The state oratorical contest will be
held at Elon in March. Every college
is urgently requested to enter a repre
sentative in this contest. In addition
to the handsome medals which axe
given for first and second places, a
handsome silver loving cup will be
given to the winning college this year.
If any college is able to succeed in
winning the cup three years in a row
it becomes the permanent possession
of the winners.
The possibility of having an orator
ical contest and debating league for
girls was discussed at length but no
definite decision was reached.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: Mrs. Bobertson,
of Elon College, president; Bembert
Patrick, of Guilford, vice-president, and
Dr. Reiser, of Lenoir-Bhyne, was re

Trueblood Paraphrases
D. Elton Trueblood is reported by the
American Friend as having made a very
impressive paraphrase of the passage
in the Bible which reads, "I came not
to send peace by a sword," at the re
cent Baltimore Yearly Meeting. His
statement was: "I did not come to
give you soothing syrup, but an electric
shock."
STATELY SENIORS
HAVE CELEBRATION
October 24.—Due to over-work, worry,
and the desire to get away from the
daily grind of study the senior class
let their social nature get the upper
hand. Since dignity characterizes each
senior while on the campus, this was
laid aside for a short time and an in
formal picnic and romantic moonlight
stroll was solemnized in the Lindley
cow pasture a short distance from the
Quaker center of learning.
The hikers assembled at 4:40 and
"Forward, March!" was given by able
Commanders Hazard and Levering.
Half an hour later found these recrea
tion seekers gathering wood for the
campfire.
The feast was delayed somewhat due
to the fact that Messrs. Jazz and Steele
had not been properly informed just
where the pasture was located. Hunger
was forgotten when the beautiful in
strumental music that Miss McPherson
was making on the victrola reached the
MASQUERADERS HIKE
UNDER CLOUDY SKIES
Which Add to Ghostly Appear
ance of Spooky Old Farm
in Lonely Field
SEARCH HAUNTED BARN
October 27. —Guilford College stu
dents and faculty members were tem
porarily transformed last Saturday eve
ning into ghosts, witches, hobgoblins,
and other weird creatures of the mystic
world. The occasion was the annual
Hallowe'en masquerade.
It was a distinctly heterogeneous
group which wound its way from its
place of assembly through wood and
bo gand meadow to the old and deso
late farmhouse situated some uncertain
but seemingly far distance beyond
Whip-poor-will Lodge. When the last
straggling creature had arrived, every
one was ordered to file through the
hall, which was dimly lighted by jack
o'lanterns, for costume inspections.
Many and varied were the characters
represented, but the judges finally
awarded the prize to Glenn Robertson
and Carrie Teague, who were dressed
as Pierot and Pierette. The prize for
the most unique costume went to the
black cat, Sallie Belle Best. Henry
White and Alice Hazard, as a Scotch
man and Gypsy, respectively, and Eu
gene Hire as a skeleton were given
honorable mention.
Then followed entertainment for the
spooks. Each class gave a stunt so
unique and clever and novel that no
one coveted the position of the judges.
However, the stunt given by the senior
class, a burlesque comedy in which the
hero and villain "A-salted" each other
with salt-shakers, was voted first place.
Then something happened that com
pletely disproved the theory that ghosts
are not composed of material sub
stances. Apples, popcorn, and marsh
mallows were served to the entire party
and it was quite noticeable that none
of the ghosts refrained from partak
ing.
After harressing experiences in an
old barn adjoining the farmyard, the
"weird creatures of the mystic world"
decided that they had been defeated
at their own game, and returned to the
college to seek a comfortable place
for rest and sleep.
cars of the foot-weary hikers. Each
and every soul was stirred. As the
faithful old coffee pot kept perfect
time to the music.
Twilight found the party in a circle
around the camp-fire re-warming the
pork chops. Pickles, sandwiches, ap
ples, bananas, and ice cream were
served.
Hunger being satisfied, each member
of the group was asked what he or she
expected to do next year. Almost
every vocation claimed one of the
worthy members. Some saw themselves
as efficient housekeepers, others seeing
the many interesting sights of Europe,
quite a few instructing the youth of
our country, and even one expressed a
desire to succeed "A" as president.
Emotion was aroused to the highest
pitch by the wierd ghost story of Miss
Hazard. Numerous readings ond vocal
solos, quartettes and group singing
added to the enjoyment of the evening.

Social Hour in Founders
October 26.—The first of the year's
inter-society receptions occurred last
Friday evening when the Philomathean
Literary Society entertained the Henry
Clay Literary Society at a very pleas
ing reception in the society halls at
Founders, following a most entertain
ing program in Memorial Hall.
It being the Hallowe'en season that
idea was carried out most attractively
in both the program and the decora
tions. The programs were in the shape
of pumpkins, and typical ghost lan
guage announced both the numbers on
the program and the menu.
The entire program was entitled
"Witches' Revels." The first number
was a dance entitled "Goblin and
Sprite," given by ten girls. Their cos
tumes were especially attractive, as
when they turned one way they
appeared as boys and the other way as
girls. This was merely to introduce
"Romeo and Juliet," the program of
the evening.
The second part was "Owl Hoots,"
which was a piano solo played by
Georgia Fulk.
The third and main part of the pro
gram was a burlesque presentation of
the final scene of Shakespeare's drama,
