Point 47 to 7 and to Guilford 19 to
0. (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. I'm sticking with
Guilford.

Guilford's Choir
Sponsors Annual Picnic
Members of the A Cappella Choir
and their guests gathered at the
Greensboro Country I'ark on Satur
day evening to enjoy the annual
choir picnic.
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.

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,

its executive committee
for years. Dr. Ragsdale died
