December 8, 1945 Quakers Launch Cage Play; Dickerson Heads Squad QUAKES By CARL COCHRANE It seems that the major part of our short stint at doing this column has been spent in our climbing out on the prediction limb and then having it sawed out from under lis. Our last prognostication for the year can be split into two little prognosti cations. 1. Next year Guilford will have a winning football team and 2. Guilford is going to have a winning basketball team this year. Our Quaker gridsters had a dismal season. Haunted from the first by bad breaks and the injury jinx, our boys could not quite knock out a win in their seven game schedule. How ever, there are some things to be taken into consideration, namely, this was the first ball club Guilford had fielded in four years and many of the guys had never played before. After taking a terrible pasting at the hands of Maryland, the Quakers began to show improvement in every game. They put up a battle in their two touchdown loss to Milligan and well, the less said about the Appala chian heart-breaker, the better. They knocked the Mountaineers all over the lot for 55 minutes, only to cheated out of their deserved victory by a last minute touchdown. Against the Indians of Catawba the Guilfordians really hit their stride. Shepard Led Quakers To Little Six Title, 1928 By CURTIS RAT LEDGE November 29, 1928. —Midst a scene of glorious sadness, the Guilford Col lege Quakers of 1928 closed their color ful football season with a huge bon fire, after overstuffing themselves with Thanksgiving blessings. This ended a week-long preparation of nightly pep rallies for the Catawba game, which the Quakers won, 7-0. You see, they were exalted because they had won Guilford's first Little Six Champion ship in quite a number of years. Norman Shepard coached the Quak ers only one year as football coach here, and that year, with green pros pects, he turned out a power-laden team that was undefeated in confer ence play. Norm graduated from Da vidson College and coached the frosh football and baseball tenms at the University of North Carolina for sev eral years. He also helped coach the White Phantoms, famous Carolina bas ketball quint that won three consecu tive Southern Conference champion ships. Before coming to Guilford he studied athletics at the University of Notre Dame, nt South Bend, Indiana, and the University of Illinois. • —• Make Our Store Your Headquarters for Sporting Goods COBLE SPORTING GOODS CO. 344 S.

They hit the great Gabriel with every thing but tie goal posts and made the Indians' running game look sick. But there was no stopping the Catawba pass attack and the final score was 33-0. If you think that was not doing well, speak to the boys from Richmond or better yet, speak to the gamblers who were giving 00 points in the stands. Almost all the boys will be back next year (and a lot of new fellows too) and if they take up where they left off, there ought to be quite a cloud of happiness floating around the campus next year. • • As for basketball, well, most of you saw the game with Flying Safety the other night. Our cagers showed some fine form and actually outplayed their opponents on the floor but they made the mistake of out-fouling them too and those telling free-shots made the difference. The Quaker quint has got the thing the footballer lacked too. Hirabnyshi and Farlowe played for Guilford last year and Ingram, Leonard, and Bray are all experienced hands at the great art of "loop busting." They have all they need; height at the forwards, fight at the guard spots and some sharp-shooting eyes. All we need is some hard basketball practice and State Championship is not far away. Coach Shepard left Guilford sud- ] denly in tlie spring of 1929 after Guil ford had experienced one of her best years in athletics. And here we quote from a Guilfordian of that year: "Not a person on the Guilford Colege cam pus was reluctant to see the passing of the old regime of moral victories. For years our football teams repre- j sent;d a soft spot in the schedules of I our opponents." Had the war not interferred, and had Guilford decided to subsidize ath letics years ago, this same string of cictories would have been constant down through the years. We realize that this had not yet been done, but feel assured that the college officials are now aware of the fact.

" ■ ''■ I MI M LM II 1 Remember — You Always Save at Belk's { | JEFFERSON SQUARE I THE GUILFORDIAN Quakers Play Great Bui Lose 33-0 to Powerful Indians It was a rejuvenated and fighting Quaker eleven that took on the high flying Catawba Indian after a plenti ful Thanksgiving meal a couple of weeks ago. After showing so poorly against their arch-rivals from High Point, and tasting a stinging 33-0 de feat, the squad pulled themselves together, and with Doc's new forma tion, "The double-wing T," held the Indians to only a 33-0 score. In addi tion 'they didn't score until almost 14 minutes playing time had elapsed. Led by a trio of Little Ail-Americans, Gabriel, Edminson, and Bowen, the visitors proved their agility on the gridiron by rolling up a total of 253 yards on the ground, and 130 by the air trails. The Quakers gained 54 yards rushing. One beautiful scoring opportunity came but the turf proved to be too wet for "Hairbrush" Hirabayshi to stay on his feet. He slid down on the three yard line of Catawba with an open field ahead. Then the "Big" Indians re-entered the game, and that was all of the scoring threats for Guilford. In the High Point game, Painter, and a host of backfield men out masted our boys as they romped to a 33-0 victory before a homecoming crowd in the Albion Millis stadium at High Point.

From all of the talent that is tripping around on the gyrn floor, it looks as if each class will produce a good team, especially the freshman class. Have you seen the way those frosh ring that basket? O Hockey season closed with Novem ber. The last game with Woman's College showed the score to be 2-0 in favor of W. C. Guilford was hostess to the W. C. team and the W. A. A. served refrshments in Archdale to the players. O At the Play Day held at W. C. on November 17, two of Guilford's hockey players, Peggy Goode and Marie El liott, were chosen on the all-star team composed of hockey players from W.C., Salem, Duke, and Guilford. O The "juke box" is paying very well, according to the reports from the financial committee. The nickels have amounted to enough money to pur chase new records to keep the selec tion up to date. O Last, but not least, here's to a swell basketball season, fellows! Judging from the first game held last Satur day, the games will be more than just exciting! ■ = Make That Coke Date A Special One at the Greene Street Drug Store 124 S.

Schiffmans The Carolinas' Greatest Jewelry and Gift Store Gifts for Everyone On Your List To Fit Any Budget QUALITY BEAUTY Page Three A sure sign that Guilford is return ing to its prewar status was recogized at the basketball season's opener last Saturday night. Across to the college pasture, back to the high school, and down to ancient Hobbs spring echoed the wilds cheers of the student body which have been missing all during the football season. The Flying Safety Squadron of Winston-Salem were the opponents and victors in this game, 43-35. Tiny Ingram, and Hirabayshl proved to be two efficient guards and handlers of the ball, as Bunk Leonard, former star for Rankin high school, in the county, led the forwards play. Hira bayshl lived up to his reputation as a brilliant guard, which awarded him an ALL conference two seasons ago, with his fast breaks and faster-than the-eye shifting. Towering Bin Farlow, center, and Fred Bray, the latter who played for the Greensboro high school's Purple Whirlwind a few years ago, also stood out In the game. In fact, we will add that all of the fellows who played, subs and all, promise to give Guilford another good season on the basketball floor. As for the present coach, Douglas (Curly) Dickerson, able former N. C. State star, we expect great things. SYKE C SHOE SHOP O and Shine Parlor 105 N.
