Perhaps one of the most inter

lim Williams had little luck auainst
Iliiniixlcn-Siidiwii.
In () Daniels, Ed Williams and
Howard Braxton were indeed
problems that needed to be solved
quickly.
I spoke to Jimniv Williams, our
Quarterback, about this and other
questions. This is what he had to
say.
"I think we've got a real good
crop of Freshmen this year. They're
really going to help us this year
and in the future. . . . The ends.
Buffaloe and Griffith are coming
along well. They were getting
open in the Hampden-Sydney
game a lot."
How about the new Center and
kicker?
"This was the first time Doby s
ever Centered and lie's doing real
well. He didn't snap one bad one
in the Hampden-Sydncv game.
Jack Brinklev is doing a good job
on the points after touchdown
but needs some work on the field
goals. I know that he'll get there
soon and then he'll really be able
to help us."
I noticed that von had some
trouble passing against Hampden-
Sydney. What's the storv on that?
"Well, it was me. Mv pass pro
tection was good. I had time to
throw the ball and my men were
getting loose. I just need a lot of
work on the running pass, I can
throw from a standing position all
right but when I run and throw
mv accuracy and range are off.
Remember that second down plav
late in the Hampden-Svdnev game,
when we were deep in their terri
tory? I spotted Dixon loose in the
end zone and threw from a run
ning position on the option. I could
see that ball just curve awav from
him. That's where I need the work.
You know that vou're getting a
reputation for the bootleg?
"I'm afraid of that. I think
that pretty soon they're always
going to have someone hitting me
when they think I have a bootleg
going."
It worked well until now.
"Yes. A bootleg's a plav for a
fool. The only reason it works is
because the defense watches vour
eyes. If I look to Joye after faking
to him and just stand there with
the ball behind my back, most of
the defense will go after Jove and
leave me alone. But now I think
that they'll always have someone
hitting me just in case. The boot
legs a good little trick. But when
the defensive man's eyes start look
ing at von then von know that it's
time to get out of there.
How did you find the heat in the
Hampden-Sydney game?
"The heat got to us in the second
half. The boys really felt it. I'm not
making and excuses for losing. I
know Hampden-Svdnev felt it
also."
A imicklv, rain-swept Burlington
High School Stndiuni was the
scene, Saturday night, the 28th. of
the latest chapter of the traditional
Guilford College-Elon rivalry.
I he Elon Christians, who event
- uallv won hv 28-7. were the first
- to score when, with a few seconds
- left in the first quarter, Sonn\
i Pruette, Elon s Halfback, plunged
s to pavdirt from the one vard line,
r Elon scored again with six and a
■ hall minutes to go in the half on a
! drive which began on the Elon
twenty, and ended In Quarterback
Eddie Wheless sneaking in from
the one. A third Elon score came
in the middle of the third quarter
on Eddie Wheless' twentv-two
- j vard pass to Sonnv Pruette.
The Quakers finallv managed to
score late in the third quarter
when elusive Jinnm Williams ran
I home from the thirteen-vard line,
j Elon s Willie Tart added one more
touchdown for good measure at the
Mend of the fourth quarter to sew
J up the game for the Christians.
Elon gained 270 yards rushing
| and 43 veards in the air. Guilford
had 106 yards on the ground and
JSO vards passing. This was the

11 for both teams. Elon next plavs

Basketball
Coach Jem Steele has always
I played Basketball with a winner.
i : Everyone knows that he plaved
with Wake Forest during some of
i their best seasons. Last vcar he
came to Guilford and no longer
 did he play with a winner. He
s didn't like the new feeling. But un
. like most others who might be
i placed in the same position. Coach
Steele decided to do something
about the situation. So. thanks to
i him we just mav be on the verge
s of one of our best Basketball sea
r sons ever.
S, ] There are twenty-six boys work
i ing with the team this fall. We've
I got a lot of good voting talent plus
1 all of the last season's experienced
k varsitv. Bv just looking at the si/e
■ of the bovs it is clearly evident
that we are going to give every
i one a lot of trouble in the rebound
- ing department. This of course
s means more shots for us and less
for the opposition. The fact that
e we have had so little rebounding
in the past has probably hurt us
I more than anything else
t Thus far all that Coach Steele
I has worked on has been condition
t ing. He says that the boys are
working hard and although he is

The Play of the Week
The pla\ of the week is a new
series that the Guilfordian will con
tinue throughout the 1963 Foot
ball season.
The following two plavs were
chosen for their importance in the
1 lampden-Svdnev game.
In the first plav Guilford is
shown with the ball. The forma
tion that Guilford is working from
is known as the "Shotgun. Five
men (Buffaloe, Jove, Dixon. Gore,
and Griffith) are potential re
ceivers. The plav was run six times
during the game and resulted in
an average gain of ten vards for
every time that it was used. In this
plav Quarterback Jinnm Williams
is faced with the option of throw
ing to Dixon or running, himself.
On one occasion Jim ran tip the

The second diagram represents
one of the game's two most crucial
plavs. The situation developed
w hen Guilford s Billy Jove punted
to the I lainpden-Svdne\ one vard
line. Hampden-Svdnc\ took over,
with the forward line on the one
and the back field in the end/one
it was evident that a safety was
more than just a possibility. The
Tigers then called what Football
experts consider a foolish pla\ lor
such a situation an end sweep,
it did. One of their men blocked

The Cuilford College (Quakers
opened their 1963 Football cam
paign 011 a sad note In dropping
a closely plaved contest to the
Hampden-Svdncv Tigers. 1.'3-7. at
Armfield \thletic Center on Sep
tember 21.
I he game, which was played in
80 degree heat, was scoreless until
Hampden - Svdncv (Quarterback
Wliitey Lipscomb, scored from the
(Quaker two-vard line with three
minutes to go in the hall. The
pla\ climaxed a drive which began
on the Hampden-Sydncy 34-vard
line.
Cuilford quickly reciprocated
when on the first pla\ after the
kickofl. |imm\ \\ illiams the
(Quaker (Quarterback, picked up a
loose ball (in college football the
offense ma\ run with a fumble 
and scampered fii yards to tie the
score.
The final scoring occurred with
eight minutes to go in the third
quarter when I lanipden - Sydne\
drove SO yards for their second
touchdown. The extra point at
tempt was unsuccessful.
I lie (Quakers staged a final threat
in the late stages ol the last quarter
when they reached the Tigers 13-
yard line. Ihe game was soon re
solved when Cuilford failed to
capitalize on the fourth and four

Intramurals
' his fall, intramural director
John Lambeth has set forth a
unique program designed to pro
mote more individual participation
in intramurals.
In addition to the usual Football
and Horseshoes tournaments a
fall lennis singles and doubles
tournament and Coif match of 54
holes will be introduced. Both the
renin's and Coif tournaments are
open. I hat is am amount of en
tries mav participate from anv sec
tion.
In Football the four teams with
the four highest records will com
pete in a single elimination tour
nament.
A special note of thanks to the
Lnglish Dorm for their challenge
letter. The Guilfordian hopes that
other sections will now be inspired
enough to knock the crown off the
head of the high flying English
"Black Hawk.
