November 9, 1963 Explosive Newberry Rips Quaker Eleven 34-13 A strong band of Newberry "In dians" invaded Armfield Athletic Center on Saturday, November 2, and ambushed the Guilford Quak ers 34-13. While the first half was a good defensive battle, the second half became an explosive offensive battle with both teams showing fine scoring punch. The big gun for the Quakers was, as usual, little Jimmie Wil liams (the sophomore sensation from Fuquay Springs) while pile driving fullback Bill Hammond was the big man for the Indians. Wil liams added a total of 189 yards to his Carolinas Conference yardage leadership. His fine offensive show ing made the game worthwhile for Guilford fans. Running or passing from the "short punt" or "shot-gun" formation, Jimmy gave the tough Newberry defense a rugged time. If he was not throwing passes to waiting teammates, he was carv ing out big chunks of vardage on the ground. Many of Jim's passes wfmt to Billy Jove who nlaved an other fine game for the Quakers. I* was due mamly to the efforts of Joye and Williams that the Quakers managed two touchdowns. The thunderous Newberry of fense picked up better than 400 vards against a leaky Quaker de fense; 321 of these on the ground. The hig Newberry line opened huge holes in the Guilford forward wall and their hard-running backs took full advantage of the openings. The Quaker secondary was there fore forced to come up and make many of the tackles. Hammond, the fullback, ground out 155 vards in 12 carries while Irv Fordham and Billv Eaves, the halfbacks, accomt cd for 97 yards between them. Tom Gorman, the Indians' sharp quar terback, hit 7 of 9 passes for 86 """" | -r- - Jim Williams* pass to Buddy Dixon is good for a sizable gain against Newberry.

The two Quaker touchdowns came in the final period with Joye and Williams contributing most of the yardage. The first score came with 14:11 left in the game. Wil liams hit Joye with a 17-yard pass for the touchdown immediately af ter Roger Purgason had recovered his second Newberry fumble of the afternoon. This fumble came only seconds after the Quakers had giv en the ball to Newberry on downs, at the Indians' own 16-yard-line. Jack Brinklev kicked the point after touchdown. The second touchdown came on a fine drive after a poor Newberry punt. It was climaxed by Williams' one-yard run with 4:10 left in the game. The try for two noints was unsuccessful and the final score of 34-13 was on the boards. Jimmy Williams had a fine day and he most certainly retained his position as conference leader. He definitely has been the spark that moves the Quaker offense and his dual abilities as a passer and runner make him hard to handle. In the Newberry game he completed 13 of 29 passes for 132 yards and car ried the ball 11 times for 57 yards, an average carry of 5.1 yards. Jim could have had several more com pletions but the cold air caused several of his passes to be dropped. Billy Joye gained a total of 89 yards with 70 of them coming on four sparkling catches, while he com pleted his only pass for 14 yards. Other outstanding performances were turned in by ends Bill Russell and Larry Addleton, tackle George Wynne, guards Gary York and Sherrill Doby, halfback Buddy Dix on and safety man David Odom. Every man on the field deserved THE GUILFOR DI AN A Resume and Prospectus For Guilford Athletics Despite losing seasons in major sports, students have good reason to be proud and optimistic about their Quakers. Individual perform ances may not win games, but the appearance of these barbs in the Carolinas Conference doormat has caused consternation for opposing coaches. In football this year, quarterback Jimmy Williams has unobtrusively acquired more yards passing and running than any other player in the conference. Even perennial of fensive power Lenoir Rhyne has failed to produce anyone with a comparable record. Williams, only 5 ft. 8 in., has cost opposing de fenses an average of 128 yards per game. The majority of the offensive load will fall to the sophomore quarterback in the homecoming game against Maryville, but he will be able to count on a consistent effort from halfback Bill Jove. As the basketball season ap proaches, another individual must be singled out in senior Dan Kuz ma. The rugged center was second in the conference last year in re bounding and scoring. Against much taller opponents, Dan com bined aggressive rebounding and a soft shooting touch to carry the Quakers. This year may be differ ent. Although Kuzma is sure to equal his performance last year, he will be able to count on an im proved supporting cast. If Chuck Scott, Victor Gregory, and Fred Black live up to pre-season expec tation, the Quakers will have to be reckoned with in Carolina Confer ence competition. With a startling upset victory over Warren-Wilson last year, the Quaker soccer team has produced some outstanding individuals. Al though the offense has been plagued with injuries to key play ers, goalie Andy Brown and full back Ray Smith have maintained a strong defense. With victories over Pfeiffer, Wake Forest, and N. C. State, the Quakers are on the road to a successful season in their sec ond year of competition. Although the fall season is not yet complete, eyes are beginning to focus on coming seasons with un usual confidence. credit for playing a hard, clean game. The Quakers worked hard and sliced almost 100 yards off their penalty total of the previous week. The game was very exciting and was closer than the score indicates. Despite the big yardage gained by Newberry, the Quaker defense be came tough and several times stop oed threatening Indian drives. Twice Newberrv got inside the Quaker 15-vard-line onlv to be stopped by the clutch Guilford de fense. The game was a loosely olaved affair, especially in the sec ond half, but it was exciting none theless.

The Quaker Soc cer Club has rung up three wins in its first six games and has hopes of finishing up the season with a sweep of the remaining two (pos sibly three) games to make the sea son a real success. Coach Maynard's charges have lost badly only once this year —to Warren-Wilson. The team, prob ably one of the best in the country, whipped the Guilford eleven 8-0. They thereby gained revenge for a loss at the hands of our boys last year. The five remaining games have been well played with the two other losses—to Pfeiffer and David son, being fairly close and the three wins of 2-0 over Wake Forest, 4-1 over N. C. State, and 3-2 over Bel mont Abbey being fine efforts. In the two remaining scheduled games, with Appalachian and the Carolina Frosh, the Quakers stand an excellent chance of coming through with victories. There is also a possibility that the Wake Forest team will stage a rematch with Guilford to replace the game with Roanoke College which was not played. While the Quakers have not proved to be a high-scoring squad, they have exhibited a fine defense with Andy Brown, the anchor man, in the goal. The front line of the squad is a hustling one and has kept the ball in enemy territory much of the time although it has not been able to find the scoring range too often. Nonetheless, the team is well balanced with Captain Kirk Russell, a bulwark, at center halfback. For those of you who are not too familiar with the game of soccer, the positions may seem a little strange. There are eleven men on the team as in football, but they are arranged in a much different man ner. The five men across the front line are called forwards, with two wingmen, two inside men and a center forward. The left, right and center halfbacks are placed be tween the fullbacks and the for wards, they are called upon to "set the ball up" for the forwards who are then expected to do most of the scoring. The fullbacks and the goalie are the bulwarks of the de fense. To better understand how the game of soccer is played, one must attend a game in person. The ac tion is continuous and fast with a lot of bodily contact. The basis of the game is team play and each man is important. Our squad de serves much credit for its hard work and winning spirit. It does represent Guilford's only winning team (excepting the spring sports) and for this it deserves our patron age, if not a medal. Many thanks to Coach Maynard and the entire squad for their hard work. : • lie/ £ X S 1 ■•■""■ A.
