November 28, 1964 Meet The Steelmen: / 64- / 65 The Coming Season Coach Jerry Steele, in his third year as head basketball coach, is looking forward to a good season, with many talented freshmen and returning lettermen. He has been pleased with the spirit of the team in the long pre-season drills, and is hoping to make up in hustle for the mistakes we will make due to lack of experience . . Assistant Coach Roy Williams has done an outstanding job for use in helping to prepare for ths season. The boys have sacrificed a great deal of time and energy in preparation for the opening game this Saturday night. The Coach has appreciated the support from the students, trus tees and faculty. Their spirit has been enthusiastc and wholesome. I feel a good year will be in order no matter what the win-lose record. No longer will the Guilford College Athletic Department have to suffer for lack of money. With this the first year of full basketball scholarships, we will witness the birth of a budding conference champion. Naturally with a team composed of primari ly Freshmen (10), no Coach would wish to make a prediction. However, I have watched this team practice and feel that its po tential is unlimited. With a little game experience under their belts, Guilford will cause concern to many foe. Most of the boys met each other for the first time in Septem ber. After nearly two months of practice, that abstract quality called 'esprit d'corps' is beginning to form. As the season pro gresses you will witness a transformation from a group of indi viduals into a well-knit team. With the opening game so close, Guilford students should be tunning up their lungs to greet the Quakers. This year will introduce to Guilford the age of the 'big man'. Bob Kaufman is young as college students go (18), but his strength and finesse on the back boards should bring to an end a long list of defeats instigated by our opponents' superior height. Chuck Scott, gifted with a great jumping ability, which he so ably demonstrated in last year's conference tournament, will provide than adequate assistance to our 'big man'. A new page in Guilford's sports history could well be written by this team. It is an exciting team, a team that wants to win, and will win with a lot of vocal support Guilford faces this season with one idea upper most in the minds ol the coaches and students, victory. Too long has Guilford suf ereci at the hands of its opponents. An old coach once said, "Show £ 00 " l° ser an d I will show you a team that loses every time " r,!-, J^? per S - Up £ ort b y this student body, lam confident that Guilford s aspirations will have no bounds. Last year's game with Charlotte College proved to be an inter esting one; with their entire first team back this year, quite a struggle should result. So make plans to attend Saturday night, November 8 and root the Quakers on to their first victory!! Intramurals Arc In Full Swing BY PAUL SCHETTLER The Intramural Program un der the direction of Coach John Lambeth, is off to a fast start this fall with the touch football, golf, tennis and horseshoe events already completed and with vol leyball in the midst of its end-of season playoffs. Coach Lambeth has said that the program has been a great success with good competition and an exceptional ly large turnout, some 220 in touch football, and the largest turnout yet in tennis and horse shoes. Touch Football wound up to be just as close as we had ex pected with our three predicted teams in the playoffs, except finishing in almost the reverse order. The Day Hops, last year's champs, under the quarterback ing of Luke Medlin, and English, led by Dan Kuzma, tied for the regular season standings, but it was the versatile Center team beating 3rd South 6-0 in the championship tournament that determined the overall champ. The Final Touch Football Stand ings were: Center 10 2 3rd South 8 4 English 10 2 Day Hops 9 3 2nd South 6 4 2nd North 4 6 3rd North 4 6 Yankee Stadium 4 6 New North 3 7 Ist South 1 9 Ist North 0 lO The All-Campus Team is: End—Dan Kuzma (Eng.) and James Beason (Ctr.) Guard—Bob Weisner (Ctr.) and Jerry Hodge (Day Hops) Center—Buddy Bowers (Day Hops) Alt. Line—Reggie Blackburn (New North) Quarterback —Tommy Morehead (Ctr.) BY DICK DIERKER Fullback—A. J. Car r (2nd South) Halfback—Jack Reynolds (3rd S.) and Mack Campbell (Eng.) Alt. Back—Harry Jennings (English) The Fall Open Golf Tourna ment was held at the Longview Golf Course with the lowest 36- hole total score determining the winner. Jim Wilkes, of English, ran away from the field with a fine four over-par total score of 144. Gordon Niblock of the Day Hops came in with a 151 total to beat out last year's champ, George White of 3rd South, at 154 for second place. Kendall Buckner of English was a distant fourth at 163. In Horseshoe Singles, it was Jim Wilkes in the top spot, beating teammate K. Buckner of English for the championship. But, the two finalists couldn't get by the more consistent Day Hop team of Eric Jones (last year's singles champ) and Bud dy Bowers in the doubles semi finals! In the finals, Jones and Bowers beat out Warren Stewart and Paul Schettler of Yankee Stadium for the Doubles title. Center's Jim Hunt was the in divoal standout in the Fall Ten nis Tournament in chalking up two first places. In singles, Jim beat Ron Otwell (Day Hops) in the finals and in Mixed Dou bles he teamed with Jan Lippen cott ( NWD) to beat Lisa Nelson (NWD) and Stu Marks (NMD) for the championship. In Men's Doubles, 3rd North's team of Bill Jones and A 1 Tohn lost to English's Dan Southerland and Harvey Monk in the finals. The Volleyball regular season play ended last week for both the National and American Lea gues. An end of season tourna ment is underway in each league with the top four teams in each participating to determine the THE GUILFORDIAN Carolinas Conference Rougher, Stronger It is going to be quite an in teresting year for the teams of the Carolinas Conference. Fol lowers of last year's Conference play remember exactly how close the teams were when, in the Conference tournament, there were three first round upsets. If it is believable, this year's race should be uncomfortably closer. Appalachian loses four letter men while retaining eight, in cluding Wayne Duncan and Paul Reynolds. Atlantic Christian loses two lettermen but this should hurt them little. Catawba was probably hurt the most by graduation. They lost all—every thing. Bucky Pope, as well as three other dependable starters. Both of Elon's starting guards received their B.A.'s so their problems will be in finding a man who will be able to get the ball down court to the fabulous Jessee Branson. High Point loses Byers, Fallin, Garrison and Trom betta. However, Dal Neel, Barry Smith, Kirk Stewart, Joe Forte, two new 6-9 boys and a 6-5 High School All-America should make up for the loss. Lenoir Rhyne is practically untouched by gradu ation. They lose only one start er and have back the services of Miastkowski, McGeachy, Bua and Deehan. Newberry loses six men including Phil Musgrave. They have a problem. Pfeiffer loses three men but the Falcons are going to be a tough group. West ern Carolina was badly hurt by graduation. They lost six men including Darrell Murray and Tommy Lavelle. But in its re cruiting, Western Carolina ob tained a boy who could conceiv ably become the greatest guard in the history of the Conference, Henry Logan. In recent years the Carolinas Conference has gained a large measure of respect in national competition. In the last two years our teams have advanced to the higher rounds of the NAIA Tournament at Kansas City. It appears to me that this year's Conference champ, de spite the battle scars that it may incur en route, should have the r>ower to possibly go all the way in Kansas City. It is my belief that the team will win this year's Conference competition can face anybody in the NAIA and conceivably beat them. overall campus champ. Each league had an undefeated team, English "A" led by Harry Sasser in the National, and 3rd South "A" led by Jack Reynolds in the American. An All-Campus Team will be picked after the tourna ment. The Final Regular Season Standings are: National League English "A" 7 0 Center 6 1 3rd North 5 2 Day Hops "B" 4 3 Yankee Stadium 3 4 2nd South "A" 2 5 2nd North "A" 1 6 3rd South "B" 0 7 American League 3rd South ''A" 7 0 New North 6 1 2nd North "B" 4 3 Ist South 4 3 Day Hops "A" 3 4 English "B" 2 5 2nd South "B" 1 6 Ist North 1 6 The next sports event on the agenda of intramural activities is basketball.
