(In the common opponent basis the two teams look pretty nearly even. Now let's look at this data again. Guilford's 131 tallies makes them 2 points better offensively than High Point who has scored 120 points. Defensively, Guilford is 27 points better than High Point. This, plus the won and lost records of the two teams makes Guilford an almost sure bet. A lot of faith cannot be put in records however, especially when these two teams come together. It must also be taken into considera tion that High Point has played four of the top teams in the confer ence, and they defeated one of them. After considering all of these facts from an unbiased point of view, the following question arises, "who is going to win the game tomorrow night?" I ean't answer that. Pick vour own winner.

A feature event of the outing was the football game in which the out numbered boys valiantly struggled against the weight of the girls' team and the one-sided decisions of ref eree Itegister. The game ended in a 0-0 draw. The refreshment committee under Julia White provided adequate quan tities of hot dogs, coffee, ice cream and cookies. Grouped about a glow ing bonfire, the crowd brought the evening to an appropriate close with an extemporaneous series of varied songs. NI'MBER 2 Homecoming Day Features Grid Till With High Point Today is the annual Homecoming Day at Guilford College. Alumni are coming l'rom near and far to gather once more on the campus of their Alma Mater and renew friendships made years ago. The day's program begins at 2 o'clock, when alumni register at Founders Hall. There will be a tea at the Virginia Hagsdale Alumni House at .'i. At 4 George I'arker's alumni team and Coach I.ent/.'s champion intramural team will bat tle it out in a Softball game on Ilohhs Field. To climax the day's festivities, alumni will join the fac ulty and student body in the Albion Millis Stadium to watch Guilford defeat the I'anthcrs of High Point College in the battle of the year. The tea in the new Alumni House will be the tirst affair to be held in the newly renovated house. Be sides its use as an Alumni house, it will serve as a guest home for all visitors. Named in honor of the late beloved Miss Hagsdale, it will help relieve the problem of ade quate housing for the guests of the college. Miss Virginia Hagsdale, as most alumni will recall, was a graduate of Guilford College and the first Guilford woman to win the Hryn Mawr College Scholarship. She re turned to Guilford in 18fNi as a grad uate student and demonstrator in physics, and in IfW, was awarded the Hryn Mawr European Fellow ship. Miss Itagedale chose the Uni versity of Gottlngen in which to study mathematics. Later, after three years of teaching, she was the recipient of another scholarship and returned to Hryn Mawr to complete her work for a Ph.D. degree. Con ferred in I!XMi, it was the first in the field of foreign study to be given to a North Carolina woman scholar. After many years of teaching in the North, she took a position as pro fessor of mathematics at the Wom an|s College, becoming the head of that deimrtment in I!)2i. Dr. Rags dale retired from teaching in 1028, and built the beautiful house which now stands as her gift to Guilford CMMa||wns always deeply in- Alumni Association, had founded, and its executive committee for years.
