Flash Gordon Best With 8-Yard Average;
Arthur Faircloth Tops In Total Average
Powell's 363 Yds. Gained
Rushing Leads Quakers
With a total yard gainage of 353
yards from 73 tries, hard-working
Hilly Powell comes to light as the
leading ground gainer for the Quak
ers this year, llis serappy and I
quick plunging from the fullback
spot gave him a final averagb of
4.3 yards each time he carried the
ball.
The best average for the nine
games, however, was turned in by
Bob "Flash" Gordon as shown by
his record of a total gain of 250
yards in 27 tries for an average I
of over eight yards per try. The
brilliant running of this shifty wing
back 'ilso brought him several long
runbacks of kicks as well as runs
from passes that are not averaged
in with the statistics. Also our
leading scorer, it was Bob who real
ly carried the mail this year.
Joe Winner shows up as the nexj
chief gainer on the gridiron with
203 yards to his credit and an aver
age of four yards per try. Alternat
ing and substituting for the injured
Faircloth throughout the year Joe
did a substantial job in the back
field and will he counted on as one
of our chief threats next year.
Total yard gainage of 458 yards
can lie attributed to the accurate
Faircloth who came out of the sea
son with a throwing record of 30
completions in 54 attempts for a
gain of 328 yards. The remaining
gains if 130 yards were turned in
by Art byway of the ground, lie
also did well in the kicking depart
ment with an average of 3(i.s yards
for the 35 kicks he made.
Also substantial in the kicking
game was Joe Winner who aver-

With only a -.5 average for runs
from the line of scrimmage, "Fleet"
Maultsby turned in some of the best
long runs of the year from punt re
turns and intercepted passes. High
light of these was the 92-yard
touchdown jaunt at Lenoir-Hhyne.

BILL Mct'ORMICK
Newton's Philosophy
"Some days we win, some we tie.
and some days it rains." What bet
ter philos j)hy eonld describe tin
Guilford football season of
witli the iimil tally being won,
- lost, and all the rain, in the form
of tears, falling on Thanksgiving
day.
Just another record ill the books
now, but wiien looking at it alter
going down the list of past years it
stands (in with pronounced glory.
The glory is great for a change, too,
and tile members f ibis year's team
can be proud of their part in it.
Likewise the student body, faculty,
and alumni ca nbe proud of their
school's team, and the tine job they
did individually and collectively.
The,rise to fame has surely start
ed in this, the I!H6 football season.
