Elon Game Coverage This Issue VOLUME XXXVII 'Our Town 7 Play To Begin Next Thursday Christians Nose Out Quakers By 6-0 Score Quakers Showed Ground-Gaining Power, But Lacked Scoring Punch in Tough Till BURLINGTON MEMORIAL STADIUM, NOV. 23—Although gain ing tremendous yardage throughout the annual Thanksgiving Day classic, a determined group of Quakers could not muster paydirt losing to the Elon Christians 6-0 before 2,500 spectators. Starting off like a house on fire, Elon returned Alexander's boom ing punt to their 30-yard line, and then picked up three first downs. However, Guilford took advantage of its first break as Watson recov ered a completed pass on the Guil ford eight yard line. Yarborough Plays Great Game Yarborough, who played a great game, then took the ball on the first play from his eight and carried for 46 yards to the Elon 46. From there the Quakers picked up two more first downs, mainly on the brilliant running of Venuto. The drive started on Elon's twenty, where with fourth down and fifteen to go, Yarborough attempted a field goal but it was low and wide. Elon then took over and drove to the Quaker 40 where they were stalled and kicked on the Guilford seven. Guilford's First Drive From their own seven the Quak ers drove into Elon territory pick ing up five first downs on a 15-yard penalty and the running of Venuto. Lady Luck then hurt, Schopp, tak ing a handoff from Johns, fumbl ed on the Elon 40 and they recov ered. Elon, however, got nowhere — in fact they were gaining back wards when they kicked from their 21. Guilford took over on their 35 but were able to gain only six yards. Yarborough kicked to Elon's 30 where the Christians took over. Christians Strong on Offense Using a crushing running game the Christians drove from their own 30 to the Quaker six. On sec ond and five the Christians were driven back to the Quaker 20. Grayson stepped back and passed to Erickson over the head of Wat son, who was coming up fast, for the first Christian touchdown. Quakers received the kickoff and drove down to the Elon 20 on runs by Venuto and Yarborough and a 12-yard pass from Johns to VSnuto. The half ended with the Chris tians in front 6-0. Second Half The Christians kicked off to the Quakers at the beginning of the second half. Yarborough fumbled and Breedon picked it up on the six being downed there by a host of Christians. After a loss of two yards on the first down, Yar borough kicked from his own end zone to Elon's 38. After a series of kicks by both teams, the Quakers took over on their own 30 and drove to the Christians 30 where their drive stalled. This drive was featured by the running of Moon and Ven uto. Quakers Defense Holds The Christians took over on their own 30 and penetrated to the Quak er 15-yard line where the Quak er defense held and the Quakers took over on their own 20 after Elon had been pushed back. "Moon Struck" Bob Yarborough took a pitchout from Johns and gained 34-vards on a series of plays featuring the run ning of Venuto, Moon and Yarbor ough. The Quakers drove down to scoring zone, but could not get over that final stripe. Johns tried a fourth down pass to Yarborough which was incomplete and the Christians took over. Due to the stellar defensive play of the Quakers, the Christians got nowhere. Yarborough returned a Christian punt to the Elon 25 and the Quakers drove from there to the six-yard line again. Johns lost seven yards on an attempted pass (Continued on Pane Four) The QuifforScm The Monogram Club Sweetheart To Be Crowned at Dance This year's Monogram Club Christmas Dance on Saturday, De cember 9, will bring forth some thing new ... a "Sweetheart of the Monogram Club."

Dr. Paul Griswold Macy Talks on Church Unity "The prospect of universal ruin is now a scientific possibility," Dr. Paul Griswold Macy, of Chicago, Charles Brent Lecturer on Church Unity, said in the first of his series of lectures at Guilford on Friday, November 17. Speaking at a chapel program, Dr. Macy said that if certain ten dencies gain the upper hand it is a probability. However, the one great hope for peace and brother hood lies not so much in political and social movements as in the field of religion. Discussing the development and .function of the Christian Church, Dr. Macy revealed, "The Christian Church at the outset, although it had within it very diverse elements, began to hold together people across all lines of race, nations, class, and creed. By the middle of the second century it could be said that the church was like the soul in the body—it held the world together." Choir To Present Bach's 'St. Matthew's Passion' Music director Charles Coll Un derwood announced that practice sessions for Bach's "Passion Ac cording to St. Matthew" will be held each Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Guilford College auditorium. The "Passion According to St. Matthew" is the Guilford College A Cappella Choir's spring project and it replaces the annual presen tation of Handel's "The Messiah." The exact date for the oratorio has not been set but will be in the early Spring. GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., NOVEMBER 24, 1950 "QUAKER" PHOTO CONTEST WINNERS—Top picture taken by Willis Fussell of John Schopp; bottom right by Polly Edgerton of Mr. Feagins and his son; and right, by Carlisle Huckabee of Betty Venable and Paul Spain. Barter Theatre Production Enjoyed by Guilford Folk Although the dialogue was al tered from its original, the cos tumes more elaborate, and the an tics more modern, William Shake speare himself would have smiled a nod of approval for the Barter Theatre presentation of "The Com edy of Errors" on November 20. From the opening words the Bar ter group forgot the strict English Elizabethan prose and added a few American expressions, still keeping Shakespeare's magic touch, however. "The Comedy of Errors" was a merry confusion of a shipwreck and mistaken identities and was car ried out in a Greek motif along lines similar to other Barter Shake spearean productions. The gay comedy blossomed a light-hearted spirit of fun with a wealth of dra matic irony. Top Notch Performer Most in attendance a packed house—agreed that Mel Turner as Dromio of Syracuse gave a top notch performance. Turner's flam Mrs. Milner Talks on Marriage and Family Guilford College students were told November 12 that "seeking happiness" in marriage doesn't al ways work as expected. Mrs. Er nestine C. Milner, associate pro fessor of psychology, spoke on Marriage and the Family to a large turnout at the regular week ly meeting of the Student Christian Association. Mrs. Milner emphasized that true happiness comes to those who choose their mates wisely and then work out the plans and problems co operatively. She said that the small co-educational college cam pus is an ideal environment in which to find one's partner in mar riage because tffe combination of work and play together gives an excellent chance to see both the strong and weak qualities in each other's personalities. buoyant actions and facial expres sions couldn't be topped. While on stage, all kept their eyes peeled on him waiting to unleash a round of laughter. Close on Turner's heels was the excellent performance of Peter Pa gan, who was the typical Romeo that had to fight love-making wom an and unexpected wealth away. Sadie Hawkins Day Dance Successful Sadie Hawkins Day in Dogpatch had nothing for excitement on our our WAA Sadie Hawkins Square Dance, held last Saturday night, November 18, in honor of that great occasion. From start to finish of this hilarious evening, it was plain to see just who had the upperhand. Transformed right into a scene from Dogpatch, the gymnasium was humorously and artistically decorat ed with posters of all the Li'l Abner characters. The music of Gurley Wyrick and his string orchestra, with Jake Wel ker calling, held the mob spell bound. Between square dances, the boys entertained us with more string rhythms. Popular records were also played. Some danced, while others laughed together while trying to balance themselves in pre carious crowded positions on the bales of hay. During intermission, Coach Paul Lentz presented some unique prizes. The funny door prize went to Jim Finch and his date. The best dressed girl's prize went to Dot Demos, and the best-dressed boy's prize to Bill Bright. Credit for this outstanding square dance goes to all the hard-working members of the Women's Athletic Association Cabinet, headed by Margie Jardine, social chairman, and Lynn Jessup, whose publicity and art work made the effect com plete. Read Sportslants by Bill Oden NUMBER i Cast of Twenty-six Players Headed by Mr. E. Daryl Kent The cast for the play, "Our Town," to be presented by the Dramatic Council December 7 is to be headed by Mr. E. Daryl Kent, who will take the part the stage manager. In a play of this type—no set ting or props will be used—the stage manager must implant the scene in the mind of the spectator through narration, the directors say. Most of the characters in "Our Town" are new to the Guilford College stage. Jim Williams will try out his bedside manner in the part of Dr. Gibbs. Lucy Leake will play the part of his typical, likable wife. The good doctor's two chil dren, George and Rebecca, will be played by Bob Ertl and Betty Ven able, respectively. The Cast The Gibbs' next-door neighbors, the Webbs, will be portrayed by the following: Mr. Webb, Josh Crane; Mrs. Webb, Geri Mays; Wal ly Webb, Ed Berry; and Emily Webb, which is a part of foremost importance because it is through Emily's eyes that the audience is supposed to see the little town of Grover's Corners, will be played by Jo Cameron. Some of Guilford's already tried and proven actors such as Karl Reinhardt and Bobby Wall will hold down parts of minor impor tance. Attend the Play This play shows promise of being one of the best ever staged at Guil ford. Let's all get behind it with the same kind of spirit that we have been behind the football team. Guilfordians Attend Slatewide Meeting The annual conference of the In ternational Relations Clubs of North Carolina was attended by the following delegates: Howard Davis, president of the Guilford College I.R.C. and of the 1.R.C.N.C.; Billy Harris, treasurer of the Guil ford I.R.C. and secretary of the I.R.C.N.C; Udo Gengenbach, mem ber of the Guilford 1.R.C.; and Mr. Hiram Hilty, faculty adviser to the Guilford I.R.C. The conference, held at Western Carolina Teachers' College, opened about 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, No vember 18, with a welcoming ad dress by Paul A. Reid, president of W. C. T. C., who stressed the importance of informed public opin ion in regards to international af fairs and the important part which we students had in helping to form public opinion. The conference then proceeded into discussions, the first on "Unit ed Nations Today," and the second on "What Should Our Foreign Pol icy Be Toward Communist China?" The first discussion was opened by Davis, Student Chairman, who proposed the question, "What is wrong with the U.N.?" This led to a very stimulating and fruitful discussion in which the partici pants, while becoming cognizant of the various weaknesses, became in creasingly aware of the valuable and important contributions which the U.N. has made to the main tenace of world peace and order. Among some of the important ques tions considered were the follow ing: has the U.N. been too selec tive in admitting members? This was in specific reference to Franco Spain and Red China. This evoked another question of the right the U.N. had to judge the desirability of admittance under the form of government which a certain coun try maintained.
