W
Quakers Behind in Yards;
Way Ahead in Other St ax
BY SID HART
Now who would have thought that at the end of the third game of
the season Guilford College would possess a 2-1 record? The Quakers
lost their opener to Elon by a 14-7 score, and the experts settled back to
their chore of picking Guilford as underdogs for the remainder of the
season. Against the Bridgewater Eagle the prognosticators figured that
the Quakers ought to beat a fairly weak team. This the Quakers pro
ceeded to do, and in a big way, the final score seeing the Quakers ahead
28-0. T hen came Emory and Henry for the Guilford homecoming, and
the experts decided that the Quakers would not have enough DDT to
knock off the Wasps. But the chemistry majors evidently got busy and
figured out a new wasp killer, and the Quakers copped a 14-0 win and
had one touchdown called back. The strong Lenoir-Rhyne Bears in
vaded the campus last week, and you know the outcome of that game.
Tomorrow the Quakers are idle, and then start again October 25 against
Hampden-Sydney, and wind up the season against Appalachian, Ca
tawba, and Western Carolina, three North State foes.
PARKER, BAKER LEAD OFFENSE
In the rushing game of the Quakers Lester Parker has bulldozed his
way for 103 yards in 25 carries for a 4.1 average to lead the ground
game and be in first place in total offense. Brodie Baker is close behind
with 99 yards, losing six on the ground but gaining 105 in the air.
Baker has completed seven of 12 passes (58.3 per cent) for one touch
down. None of his tosses have fallen in the hands of the defense.
Coming behind Parker and Baker is Tom Bowers, a talented freshman,
who has racked up 73 yards in 12 carries for a fine 6.1 average. Next in
line is Johnny Meroney. The redhead has toted the pigskin 30 times,
more than any other back, for 62 yards, and an average of 2.1. Bill
Huber falls next on order with 48 yards in the air. Huber has completed
40 per cent of his aerials, four for 10, and has had a pair intercepted.
Sid Teachei/ and Bol) Smith are running a close race behind Huber
with 44 and 42 yards, respectively.
In the pass receiving department Jim S tutts is the leader with eight
receptions. Stutts has gained 84 yards for an average of 10.5 per catch.
Tommy Price has grabbed two for 49 yards, and Bob Holloway has
caught one for a 26-yard touchdown.
INTERCEPTIONS, KICK RETURNS
In the first three games the secondary grabbed off 10 aerials, with
Baker and Daryl Allen collecting three each. Teachey, Jack Holley,
Meroney, and Stutts have each intercepted one. Teachey, &s one would
expect, is the leader in punt returns. The Wallace flash has returned
three for 92 yards for a 30.7 average and one TD. Meroney is not far
behind with an average of 21.7 for three returns and 65 yards. Jackie
Williams has brought back one punt 18 yards. Smith has returned a pair
for 39 yards and a 19.5 average, while Holley has returned one for 18
yards. Overall the Quakers have had the chance to return onlv five
kick-offs.
KICKING, SCORING LEADERS
The kicking game of the Quakers is another thing not to be over
looked. Parker has put his foot into six kick-offs, and has averaged send
ing the ball 52 yards downfiekl. That's averaging putting the ball on
the enemy eight every time. On 10 such kicks the Quakers have aver
aged 47.2 yards per. In punting Huber has booted the ball 13 times for
438 yards and a 33.7 average. Parker has 10 for a 29.6 average, with the
team averaging 32.0 per punt. No one has been able to return any kick
or block a punt. The scoring is being led by the Sherman tank with nine
points on a touchdown and three kicked extra points. Bowers and Smith
are close behind with a touchdown and a two-point PAT each. Baker,
Teachey, Huber, and Holloway each have tallied one touchdown.
TEAM STATISTICS
As a team the Quakers have gained 26 first downs, 355 yards on the
ground and 165 through the air for 520 net yards. The combined efforts
of Elon, Bridgewater, and Emory and Henry have managed 27 first
downs, 398 yards overland and 199 in the air for a total of 597 yards.
Overall, the Quakers have completed 11 of 22 passes, with only one
interception, and a touchdown, while their opponents could complete
only 14 of 44. Of course, counting the interceptions, they have com
pleted 24. The Quakers have lost two fumbles, the same as the oppo
nents. The big thing is the penalties. Guilford has drawn 250 yards of
penalties to the opponents' 170.
There you have them, the stax on the first three games of the season
for the Guilford College Quakers.

Between the time of the kick-off
and the end of the game last Satur
day afternoon on Hobbs Field the
Lenoir Rhyne Bears had amassed
485 yards on offense, and Guilford
was dealt a 30-0 defeat.
The Bears looked to be at their
best as they ran the single wing at
a powerful clip. Of the 485 yards,
295 came on the ground and 190
were the results of passes. Lenoir
Rhyne attempted 23 aerials and hit
on 14. Several of the passess were
dropped by receivers. Never could
Guilford mount an offensive.
Lenoir Rhyne scored at least
once in every period, and hit pay
dirt twee in the second quarter.
Lee Farmer, Bill Ackard, Tommy
Simmons, and Guy Fisher each
tallied one touchdown. Tony Mc-
Clamrock, although he did not
score, racked up 104 yards in 10
carries. Farmer and Ackard both
totaled over 100 yards on offense.
The Bears scored in the first
quarter on an eight-yard run by
Farmer to cap off a drive that cov
ered 64 yards.
In the second period the Bears
struck twice, with Simmons and
Fisher crossing the last stripe. Sim-
