Quakers Walloped by Bears; Go to Catawba Tomorrow
Seek Upset Victory
Over Indians
The Lenoir-Rhyne Bears, led by
All - American candidate, Steve
Trudnak, scored on the luckless
Quakers at will, and when the final
whistle blew, were ahead by a 33-0
margin. Led by Sam Venuto's run
ning. the Quakers got as close to
the Bear goal line as the twenty
four yard line, but lost the ball on
downs.
The game was played before ap
proximately five thousand fans in
Hickory. It was the Bears' home
coming game, and Lenoir-Rhyne
didn't disappoint her former grads.
During the game, Bill Topping ag
gravated an old ankle injury and
Ed Jones received a bad cut on the
mouth, but it is believed that both
will be able to play this week.
Tomorrow the Quakers tackle Ca
tawba. and a win by Guilford would
definitely knock the Indians out of
the race for Conference champion.
The game is to played under the
lights toworrow night at Salisbury.
Around the conference, the biggest
game of the week is at Hickory
where the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears play
host to Elon's Christians. These
two teams are now tied for top
place in the standings.
Meanest Man of the Week
Our nomination for the Mean
est Man of the Week: the guy
who stole $8 of the campus chest
funds from Bill Ringler's room
the night of the Hallowe'en
Dance. Whoever the thief was,
he knew where the money was
located, for nothing else was dis
turbed. May he spend it with
good conscience!

STEVE TRUDNAK

North State
Gridiron Great
This week's All-Star is fullback
Steve Trudnak of Lenoir Rhyne.
He is a 20-year-old junior, 5' 10",
and 190 pounds, from Bloomsburg,
Pennsylvania.
Steve is being mentioned by AP
for Little All-American. Leading
the state in scoring so far this sea
son with 70 points in seven games,
he needs only 35 points in the re
maining three games to set a new
North Carolina collegiate record.
Against Appalachian he scored
all of his team's 20 points. He has
22 of 26 extra points and eight
touchdowns this year.
He is a very quiet, modern fel
low, very likable. As mentioned
in the Greensboro Daily News, he
calls Coach Stasavich "Sir" and
not "Coach."

After Coming
From Behind
Although the half-time score was
Guilford 14, E. C. C. 7, the lads
from Greenville tied the score in
the second half and then added
another six pointer for good meas
ure to put them on top by a score
of 19 to 14. This was the score
when the final whistle blew.
Guilford's two touchdowns came
both in the first half. Venuto count
ed for one of them on a 30-yard run.
A 76-yard run by Chuck Whitcomb
on a pass interception was good
for the other touchdown. This was
the longest Quaker run of the year.
Bobby Watson accounted for both
the points after the touchdowns.
When asked to single out the
outstanding stars of the game,
Coach Maynard said: "There was
no individual star. The team, as
a whole, played their best game of
the year. We should have won."
Wasps Conquer Quakers
The ever strong Emory and Hen
ry Wasps bowled over the Quakers
in a game played at Bristol, by the
score of 35 to 6. At half time the
score stood at 9 to 0, but in the
second half the reserve-weak Quak
ers weakened and allowed the
Wasps to score 26 points, making
the final score 35 to 6. For the
Quakers' lone tally, Carl Jones flip
ped a 25-yard pass to Nick Gue
rere, who ran it for 30 more yards
into pay dirt.
Coach Maynard singled out ends
Topping and Whitcomb, Spencer,
and Venuto as turning in very good
performances.

Spotlight on Sports
By 808 PAYSEUR - - - Guilfordian Sports Editor
The months of September and October of this year, 1951, brought
to an end a great sports era. These months marked the retirement
of tw,o of the greatest sportsmen the world has ever known. When
this column was written, neither of these all-time greats had announced
his retirement—and may not announce it this year—but in all proba
bility they will retire before another year. Two of the greatest, if not
the two greatest, professional athletes of the past fifteen years, they
both are living examples of a democracy at work. If you haven't
guessed before now, they are Joe Dimaggio and Joe Louis.
Dimaggio was born in San Francisco just thirty-seven years ago.
In those thirty-seven years he has risen from the unknown son of an
immigrant to a living personification of the Great American Game.
Baseball seemed to be in his blood. Even though his father did not
see much sense to the game, he did not discourage his sons from the
game. Joe and his brother, Vince, decided one day to ask the San
Francisco Seals for a tryout. After peeking through a knothole for
several practice sessions, they finally got up enough nerve to ask for a
tryout. Immediately they made a big hit, and soon Joe was in majors
as understudy to the great Babe. Later on, his younger brother, Dom,
followed in his footsteps and is still in the major leagues with the Red
Sox. Fifteen years ago, how many people had heard of Papa Dimaggio
and his three sons? Now, I dare say that if anyone in the United
States has not heard of the Yankee Clipper, well, whoever it Is—if
anyone—must have been dead or asleep for the past fifteen years.
A truly great ring champion, Joe Louis, closed his career the same
way he started it, with a knockout. However, this time he was on
the receiving end. In his fifteen years of boxing, he was truly a cham
pion not only because of his magnificent record, but also for his
clean sportsmanship. In his last fight, with Rocky Marcianno, although
knocked down for the count of seven, and then in the same round
out of the ring and out of the fight, he climbed back through the ropes
smiling and shook the hand of Marcianno, the man who had brought
his brilliant career to a close. Through his entire career his actions
were similar. He never hit an opponent when he was on his way down,
never took an unfair advantage, and was always a good example for
American youth to follow. Yet Louis, probably the greatest champion
the world has ever known, was born the son of a Negro tenant farmer.
So many times the things around about us are never missed until
they are taken away. If only we can keep in mind the success stories
of Dimaggio and Louis—how they rose to the top from the very bot
tom—then democracy cannot be overrun by Communism or any other
such power.
Intramurals
By Howard Coble
The Whiz Kids, who reside with
in the ivy covered walls of Archdale
Hall, whizzed through the first half
of the Intramural Tag Football sea
son with an unblemished 5-0 mark.
The Kids have a well-rounded,
power-packed squad led by Ray
Schirmer who is the scoring leader
thus far this season. This elongated,
glue-fingered flankman seems to be
a sure bet for all-campus honors.
There too, are others who have
been outstanding on the gridiron

this fall. Bob Crews, the diminu
tive ball carrier for the Old-North
Old-South aggregation is the shifti
est runner in the local Intramural
loop. Crews, who moves with suc
cess in either direction, has gained
favorable comments from every
coach in the circuit. J. T. Venable,
The Center Section field general,
is the most cagey player that oc
cupied the gridiron during the first
half compaign. Venable has de
veloped the ability to successfully
gain possession of his own kickoff
by kicking the ball into enemy ter
ritory and recover the ball before
his opponents do so. Venable's fa
vorite play, however, is to draw the

all observers agree that Venable is
an extreme strategist. Smoky Pe
