The dawning of a new era
As we begin this 120 th year in Guilford College's history, we all are
in high hopes that this year will mark the dawning of a new ecft in
Guilford College athletics. For many years Quaker teams have labored
long and hard to bring glory to the College, ohly to have their efforts
meet with defeat, ridicule, and disgrace. We sincerely hope that with
the addition of two fine coaches and a general overhauling of the athletic
policy that this year will mark the beginning of teams that we can all
be proud of.
SUPPORT NECESSARY
I do not like to grind an old axe at the start of a new year; however,
what I am going to say needs to be said and I am in sincere hopes that
it will not have to be repeated again. In short, I would like to see each
and every athletic contest supported by a large majority of the student
body. The greatest encouragement that any team can have is to hear a
large and enthusiastic crowd of supporters cheering them on.
During football season the trips home on Saturday afternoon can be
easily delayed until after the game. The team is representing each and
every one of us; the very least you can do is support them. I might add
that the opening game was well supported; let's keep it up.
NO HIGH SCHOOL LETTERS PLEASE
The Monogram Club has asked me to relay the following information
to all whom it may concern. In the future the club asks that all high
school letters be removed from sweaters and jackets. We all know that
all of you who wear the letters are proud of your feats in high school;
however, we are equally proud of all the boys who have won letters at
Guilford. It is degrading to the athletic program at Guilford as well as
to the Guilford lettermen.
STATUE OF LIBERTY SETS UP WINNER
A perfect Statue of Liberty play executed by quarterback Herman
Clark and Jack Crenshaw, in the third quarter, set up the Quakers
winning TD and enabled them to beat Bridge Water by the score of 12-7.
This marked the Quakers' first victory since 1954.
The game itself was a rather sloppy affair with both teams com
miting numerous mistakes. These mistakes will be ironed out as the
season progresses, and I feel confident that the Quakers, led by Coach
Appenzeller, will bring many a victory our way in the remaining seven
games as well as in the years to come.
MERONEY SHOWS PROMISE
Freshman halfback John Meroney can be looked to add great punch
to the Quaker attack. In the opening game Meroney showed some of
his hard driving ability to the Quaker followers. True, he did make some
errors; however, I believe those could be written off to first game jitters.
Keep your eyes on Number 11 in the years to come.
HAMPDEN-SYDNEY TOMORROW
The Quakers hit the road today to take on a team that has
been tough on them in the past. Three years ago the Quakers triumphed
7 to 6; the following two years the Quakers were on the short end of
3-0 and 7-6 scores. This year's game promises to be another tough
struggle, but I'm going on record now by predicting the gray and red
to win by 7 points.
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Before I name my selection for this week, I would just like to say
that many times during the course of the year a great many people will
undoubtably disagree with me. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion.
I do not ask you to agree with me.
This week's award goes to Ralph "Goot" Nelson for his outstanding
line play against Bridgewater. And while I'm at it, allow me to com
mend the entire line for their fine job in repeatedly turning back the
Bridgewater attack.
IN DIXIELAND
By WARREN MITOFSKY
The traditional song of the south
has as fascinating a tale behind it
as the colorful region it portrays.
Although the origin of the name
"Dixie" is in doubt, one of the pop
ular beliefs is that this was the
name of a large slave owner on
Manhattan Island in the late seven
teen hundreds. His kind treatment
of the slaves caused them to sing
of the "earthly paradise" known as
Dixie's. Another legend springs
from a $lO note of a French bank
in New Orleans. The word "dix"
was inscribe! ] on the back of it,
and the currency was called a
"dixie."
The tales are numerous and in
consistent. You may pick the one
you prefer. You can also find a
wreat number of songs with the
title "Dixie." The most popular
version was written by a Negro
boy from Ohio. Daniel D. Emmett
was living in New York at the time,
and writing minstrel songs for his
Negro brethren. He was longing
for the cool shade of a Magnolia
tree and instead /he got the smell
of rain off the hot city pavement.
The immortal words of this song
became a by-word of the south
when they were first played for a
Jefferson Davis speech in 1861.
There were two other versions
of the song that same year. One by
General Albert Pike, who wrote in
the southern spirit. The other, by
T. M. Cooley, who was a "*?x&-
yankee."
