Page Six A SALUTE TO THE SENIORS FOOTBALL Tom Barnes —Tom played little football as a freshman due to the fact that he was hampered with a bad knee. Some even felt that he would never play again. He worked on the knee and became one of our toughest ends. Tom was chosen captain in this, his sen ior year. His ability earned him the Most Valuable Player Award this year as well as a Little All America Honorable Mention. This year he threw the javelin in track and came in fourth in that event at the recent conference meet. Howard Braxton Ho war d, termed a "leader" by the coaches, has participated in three sports in his four years at Guilford. He has been one of our finest trackmen in recent memory. "Rabbit" earned his track fame in the 440, Mile Relay and recently the 880. Last year Howard was an offensive end on the Football Team. This year he was switched to a defensive end. Howaul also played Basket ball for two years. Bobby O'Daniels—We're really going to miss Bobby's kicking tal ents next year. His educated toe has scored many a field goal and extra point in his four years of football at Guilford. Bob has played both end and halfback well. His greatest games were against East Carolina two years ago and Catawba this year. Al though we lost that East Carolina game Bob's kicking and catching rose above all other performances. In the Catawba game Bob inter cepted three passes and was, per haps, the main cause of our vic tory. This year Bob was chosen alternate captain. He also played two years on the Baseball Team. David Wells —Wells is a dedi cated athlete. He has been con stantly improving since he's been here. David, this year a starter and a returning letterman from last year, was chosen as co-captain. He's termed "steady" and better than most at his position of offen sive tackle. Ed Williams —Cookie has been playing football at Guilford for four years now. Last year he was given the Best Hustler Award. Cookie is a leader, a fine, tough running back and the kind of boy a coach likes to have. This year ' ' i HOWARD BRAXTON !• > -30 MICKEY HEURIN BOBBY O'DANIELS jj ~ TOM BARNES he was hampered with injuries I and did not see much action. He's another one of those two sport men, outstanding in track since his sophomore year. BASKETBALL Nobody—Thank God. BASEBALL Carl Hampton—For two years Carl has patrolled Center Field in great style. In that time few balls have escaped the defensive ace. This season he was out for three weeks with a bad shoulder. One look at the team's record shows how much he was missed. Carl was alternate captain this year. He's a History major who soon plans to teach. Mickey Herrin Mickey has been playing baseball at Guilford for three years now. As a sopho more he compiled a great 7-0 rec | ord. Since then injuries have ! plagued him and he has never been able to regain the form he showed in 1961. Mickey is an Eco nomics major from Monroe, N. C. Lee Johnson —Lee came to Guil ford as a transfer student from Washington and Lee. He's played here for three years and during that time he has earned a reputa tion as a superb infielder. Lee com oletes the trio of injury troubled j Seniors. He missed two weeks of this season due to mononucleosis. This year he was chosen as captain of the Baseball Team. He's a good all-around player who we're cer tainly going to miss. OTHER GRADS In Tennis the number one and two men, Steen Spove and Montie Milner are both leaving for Har vard to do graduate work. Montie has been playing for four years. He's been called a scrapper and 1 fierce competitor by the coaches. Joining the Harvard twins- on the graduate list is Joe Benson. Many upperclassmen remember the fine j battles Joe and Steen had last year is thev fought for fifth position on u he team. Walter Brown is the only gradu ate of a new Soccer team. As a starter in this, the team's first year, Walter won recognition as an out standing dribbler and offensive I man. THE GUILFORD IAN COOKIE WILLIAMS jjp —. m la DAVID WELLS George Benjamin, Tom Barnes, Howard Braxton and Ernie Pascal are the track graduates. George high jumped this year and reached a peak of six feet. In the recent Carolinas Conference Meet he came in third. Brinley McDaniel is the lone Golf graduate. This year he was the team's number two man. He has played basketball for Guilford. SUMMARY Guilford Athletics is fortunate in the fact that we are losing so few athletes. Fourteen is a small number in comparison to the amount of rising Seniors we will have next year. If we look the situ ation over more closely, though, we find we are not as secure as we think. We are losing a lot of key players. A tough lineman, a kicker, a rough end and some great defense, two great glove men and a good pitcher, the first three men on the tennis team, the number two man of the golf team, a great offensive soccer player and a high jumper are going to be hard to re place. The only team that will not suffer is the basketball crew. Grads, we're really going to miss you. No kidding. o Tennis Results April I—High Point (H) 7-0 B—Atlan.

Spring Basketball Jerry Steele, Guilford's elated basketball coach, is proud to an nounce the great success of his spring basketball practice. The constant scrimmages which have been going on for the past few weeks and the hard work of Coach Steele have produced some of the finest prospects Guilford has had in recent years. Upperclassmen Buddy Milks, a two-hand dunker, and Punchy Fer ris, an aggressive ball handler, have been practicing with the team and looking good. Charlie Black of Greensboro and Chuck Scott of East Carolina, two new boys, should help Guilford in the height department. The new boys trying out for the backcourt are Danny Curran, Bill's brother; James Team, transfer from N. C. State where he played freshman ball; and Gary Halpern, a New York basketball star.
