The Guilfordian wishes to con
gratulate Coach John Lambeth for
his splendid job as intramural su
pervisor this college year.

Well, the first page of this issue
says that Dean Appenzeller is leav
ing us for a while so that he can
obtain his Doctorate. When he re
turns, students, no doubt, will be
perplexed as to the title by which
he should be addressed, Dean or
Doctor? If I know that fella cor
rectly he'll probably prefer to be
called Coach.

Monday, May 6
Coach Maynard chose Kendall ■
Buckner, a sophomore righthander
from Siler City, to open the two
game series against Western Caro
lina.
The Quakers jumped to a quick
three-run lead in the first and John
son was walked, Parker singled and
Gann reached first on an error to
load the bases. Cook then singled
in two runs. Foltz and Hampton
next walked to force in another run.
This was all that was needed for
as the game progressed it became
apparent that Pitcher Buckner was
to be the master. He scattered six
hits and struck out nine batters to
shut out the West Carolinians. It
was the third time in a row that
Buck has gone the distance.

Tuesday, May 7
Randy Parks got the nod from
Coach Maynard to pitch in the final
game of the Western Carolina se
ries. A win here would have put
the Quakers in the Conference
Tournament.
Danny Tharpe (of Western Car
olina Basketball fame) added a
single and a home run to three oth
er Western hits to move them to a
quick four-run lead in the first two
innings. After this early outburst
Lefty Parks settled down to pitch
seven innings of rimless ball.
Composite Batting Totals
The following is the story of Guilford's batting for the 1963 season.
The statistic headed RP is Runs Produced. It is the amount of runs
scored by a player plus his runs batted in minus his home runs. The
statistic is designed to show a player's total run production.

Elivoocl Parker finishes it.
The Quakers fought back dog
gedly with one run rallies in the
second, fourth and fifth innings.
The Quakers were down one
when they came to bat in the ninth.
With two out Lee Johnson deliver
ed a clutch single to tie the score
and send the game into extra in
nings.
In the West Carolina tenth Will
Parker singled Tharpe home with
what soon proved to be the win
ning run.
Pitcher Parks had pitched well
for the first nine innings but the
Guilford batters could not help
him. By the game's end they had
left over fifteen runners on base.
This game was the turning point
in Guilford's tournament hopes.
The loss necessitated a playoff with
High Point for fourth place.

Wednesday, May 8
Kendall Buckner, with one day's
lest, was selected to go against
High Point at the Panthers' home
field.
From the outset it was apparent
that this was not the Quakers' day.
Pitcher Buckner, still recovering
from the Monday game, was not
his usual self as he gave up five
runs.
Guilford managed to score only
once in the first inning when El
wood Parker reached first on an
error and Mickey Faulk singled
him in.
As a result High Point went to
Lexington while Guilford took fifth
place in the Carolinas Conference.

J V Football Next Fall
The Guilford College Athletic
Department has announced the in
itiation of a junior varsity football
program for next fall.
The purpose of this program is
threefold.
1. It gives the coaches a chance
to look over the freshman pros
pects. As there are two J. V. games
before the first varsity contest,
Coach Stewart and his staff should
be able to get a fairly good idea of
which freshman can help us.
2. It gives the boys who normally
would ride the b°nch a chance to
play. It is hoped that this step
