November 7, 1036 ♦♦♦ QUAKER SPORTS ♦♦♦ BRIDGEWATERTO FACE QUAKERS IN HOMECOMING TILT Eagles, Newcomers to Crimson Schedule, Furnish Opposition in This Afternoon's Contest. LOCALS GUNNING FOR WIN With First Points of Season Yet to be Tallied, Guilford Squad Points for Initial Victory, In what will be the first of two con secutive home games for the locals, the Quaker grid squad encounters the Eagles of Brldgewater college this aft ernoon 011 Ilobbs field. The football game is tlie main feature of an attrac tive Homecoming day celebration planned for the students and alumni, and promises to bring out a large crowd as the Quakers return to their home fort pointing for their first win of tlfe season. A.s yet. the Crimson has to garner ils first points of the season, and the Eagles are looked upon as the victims of a Quaker win. The beautiful game played by the Quakers against the Lenoir-Ithyne Bears a week ago proves that the Guil ford gridmen are capable of playing a fine brand of football, and having hit their mid-season form t lie home boys are doped to come out on top at the final whistle. Bridgewater New to Schedule Bridgewater is a newcomer to the schedule and little is known of its of fensive or defensive strength. 111 four games to date, however, (lie Eagles have won one, tied one, and lost two. A victory over Gallandet college, a scoreless tie with Wilson Teachers of Washington, 1). C., and losses lo .Tuanita and American university com pletes the showing of the Eagles to date, and since the strength of any of these teams is unknown, a comparison of the strength between Guilford and Bridgewater can hardly be drawn. The Quakers, however, are playing their best, and have picked up an offensive strength lacking during earlier con tests, and Coach Hodges is confident that his team will emerge victorious. The Eagles as a team average Kill pounds per man, with the line averag ing 1(!7 pounds and llie back field aver aging around 148 pounds. Man to man the Quakers slightly outweigh their opponents, and with the Crimson hold ing the weight odds for the first time tlis season, the advantage is expected to be very much apparent. The Quakers will lineup this after noon's game with practically the same eleven that faced Lenolr-Rhyne. Bridgewater will bring a quartet of outstanding men. Solenberger, 21111- pound tackle, and Captain Huffman. 170-pound end scintillate in the for ward wall, while Scott, 1 ."O-pound quarterback barks the signals and tosses forwards for the Eagles from the backlU Id.

HOMECOMING FOR BEARS On October 24, (lie football team met Catawba at Salisbury only to be downed 2G to 0. The game marked both the initiation of Catawba's new concrete stadium and tlicir homecoming day celebrations. The Indians of Catawba went down the Held in straight drives to chalk up 20 points in the first period. In the second quarter Guilford tightened its grip and held the opposition scoreless. Th" second half opened with another of Catawba's sustained touchdown marches which brought the score to its final form of 2(> to 0. Early in the last stanza. Chambers recovered a fumble and followed it by leading the team in a march down to the enemy's five-yard stripe where Hrinkley lost the ball 011 a fumble. The Indians played hard, straight football to defeat the weaker Crimson and Gray warriors. Guilford's back- Held turned in a first rate game espe cially on the defensive.

In tlie Sunday Xcics an item appeared to the effect that "Guilford loses meet to Carolina reserves by 27 to :;o score." In a file marked "Tentative News Items Cancelled" lias been placed along with tlie newly erected "V" hut and otlier tilings, the women's tennis tour nament. We last heard of it when it was in the semi-final throes of its agony. We hope tlie end came quickly | and painlessly! The other day a young gentleman (at least he appeared to be such) stepped into "Yankee Stadium" look ing for a young man by the name of Baldwin. Our questioning faces brought a description of young Baldwin "blond, six feet five inches tall and weighed 200 pounds." If anybody knows such a student will lie please relay the message to Baldwin that he is to call Greensboro 2-0520. I'. S. And for goodness sokes, in the name of all that's noble and praise worthy tell him to report to Coach Hodges immediately.

CROSS COUNTRY TEAM LOSES BY CLOSE SCORE Guilford Lost Its Second Meet of the Season to Davidson College by Close Score of 28 to 27. After winning from the Bnndolph- Macon harriers, the Guilford cross country team lost to Davidson by a one-point margin of 28 to 27 on Satur day, October 24. The rugged Davidson course crossing ditches, cow pastures and stone walls, presented a problem to the Quaker boys which gave the opposition just enough lead to edge out a bare victory. Again Meibohm starred for the local outfit although lie was kept out of first place by a Davidson man. Close be hind Meibohm of the Guilford team, were Alexander, Bowers, Davis, Mor ris, and Ilockett in that order. lkley, Mclnnis, Acree and Cipo, t is Brinkley, with Mclnnis being s are expected to play important ers battle Bridgewater this after- Surprising to the team was the im provement shown by Davis, a new re cruit on the team, who came from be hind to score in his first experience in varsity competition.

Page Three CRIMSON AND GRAY LOSE TO BEARS BY SCORE OF 7-0 Guilford Lost Evenly Matched Game ori Two Blocked Punts in the Early Minutes. OUTPLAYED OPPONENTS Intercepted Passes Prevented Quakers From Getting Near Enough to Cross Lenolr-Rhyne Goal Line. The Lenoir-Illiyne Bears edged the Quakers out to a 7 to 0 defeat on Octo !>er 31, at Hickory. Guilford met the Bears in a night game, outplayed them and was beaten. Such is the sad hut true story of a defeat that hurt clear to the core. Early in the first period two blocked kicks put the ball on our own one-yard line in the enemy's possession. Two line plunges account for the touchdown and extra point. From that point Hie game was a see saw with the Quakers holding the edge by gaining 11 first downs to seven for the enemy. Interception of Guilford passes by tln> Hears kept the game safe from further scoring. Both sides played good football with the Crimson and Gray holding a slight advantage in yards gained, but unable to click in crucial moments. The game saw Mclnnis back in the lineup and playing the brand of foot ball that marked him in the early part of the season. The team as a whole played harder and with better co-ordi nation than they had in any of the previous battles. With those tactics the coming tilts should be Crimson and Gray victories. — Mrs. Lillian Brendall Brown of Muir's Chapel married W. C.
