Quakers 6-1; Face High Point Tonight
The Birth of A Winner
BY DICK DIERKER
During the past week the Guilford Quakers took a long step in the
right direction with Tom Loftus and Bob Kauffman playing major roles.
I saw an improved Charlotte team that played well for the first three
quarters then had its poise disintegrate when the Quakers began a full
court press. As the score indicated (100-77) this was primarily an offen
sive battle. Coach Steele prides himself on the team's fine condition and
defense, yet during this first game the Quakers hardly lived up to his
standards. However, this is a young ball club and with a few more games
we can expect improvement.
Most freshmen are nervous in their first college game, but not Tom
Loftus or Bob Kauffman. Tom brought the fans to their feet numerous
times during the Charlotte game with his fine outside shooting and ex
cellent ball-handling. Only a freshman, but poise worthy of a senior is
the best description of our young guard from Norfolk, Virginia. Tom
owns the finest field goal percentage on the team.
Bob Kauffman, our long-awaited 'big man,' made his presence felt
under the back boards. Blessed with tremendous strength he, nonethe
less possesses an excellent outside shot with a fine touch. Although ham
pered with fouls during the first four games, he made a vital contribu
tion to the team effort.
At our second home game against Wesleyan, Guilford displayed a
remarkable zone press with Loftus, Turlington and Odom clamping their
opponents repeatedly. They held them for a scoreless period of nearly
twelve minutes at the opening of the second half. At one moment during
the second half, with the Guilford defense at its peak, 'Big' Bob Kauff
man stole the ball at half court, sped past the opposition, and stuffed it
two-handed. This was certainly the high point of the evening. Guilford
won easily 95 to 39.
On Saturday, December 5, the Monarchs of Methodist College in
vaded the Guilford College campus. It wasn't a good game. Guilford
played in a rather sloppy fashion. Methodist was outmanned and on a
strange floor, yet Guilford seemed to be the stranger. The Quakers threw
away passes and let our smaller opponents score on numerous lay-ups.
Looking ahead to our first conference tilt we can count on some very
tough opposition from Pfeiffer College. Pfeiffer has had some bad luck
in running into the three top contenders in the Carolinas Conference—
High Point, Lenoir Bhyne and Elon. Having lost to High Point and Le
noir Bhyne by a combined score of six points and upsetting the favored
Christians of Elon 68 to 66, Pfeiffer will offer the first real test for the
Guilford Quakers.
Williams and York Are All-Conference
Four years ago two coaches, following a tough practice on a hot, hu
mid day, agreed that a 195-lb. young man, staggering off the field would
be a Carolinas Conference All-Star. A freshman, he had just taken on
(in drills) the toughest letterman, Jack (Animal) Holley, and came up
bruised, battered and beaten. But the way he handled himself made be
lievers out of all in attendance.
The recent announcement of Carolinas Conference All-Stars had two
Guilford players listed. One was co-captain Gary York, guard, and re
peater quarterback Jimmy Williams, fallen warrior of the Newberry
game. York's selection made prophets out of Coach Stuart Maynard, now
baseball coach at Guilford (then football line coach), and personable
Athletic Director Herb Appenzeller, then head football coach. Head
Coach John Stewart expressed pleasure in the well-deserved recognition
of the two Quaker footballers, who led the team to a 4-5 season and a
2-3 conference record, best in many years. The team defeated Emory
and Henry 7-0 in its final game.
York and Williams are active in "off-the-field" campus affairs. Wil
liams has played in two operas (he's a music major) and is a brilliant
guard on an intramural basketball team. York won the Alumni Associ
ation Achievement Award for undergraduate students, was Men's Stu
dent Council vice-president, and is currently MSC president.

Guilfordians in Hockey League
A new sport has been introduced at Guilford College. A few weeks
ago, five members of the student body, Mr. Boyd and Dean Atwell be
gan participation in the Greensboro Youth Ice Hockey League program.
The league is primarily composed of high school age students from the
Greensboro area and is coached by a group of interested men headed
by Mr. Justice.
The players have been divided into two teams —the Civitans and
the Junior Generals. They play Friday and Saturday evenings, prior to
the Greensboro Generals' home games. In addition, they have a two
hour practice session every Sunday morning. The public is welcome at
any time.
The players from Guilford have been divided between the two teams.
Ted Lapham, Ken Koch, Frank Shantz skate for the Generals, and Wink
Cocks and Ric Schumann play for the Civitans. Dean Atwell and Mr.
Boyd are player-coaches, the former showing good promise as a wing,
while the latter is an up-and-coming goalie.
It is expected that later this year these teams will be able to play
other teams from Charlotte, Knoxville or perhaps even Duke and UNC.
Hope has been expressed that more players from Guilford will join the
league so that in a few years Guilford will have its own team.

T Big One For Both
Tonight Coach Jerry Steele takes
his young basketball team to High
Point. The Panthers are billed as
the team to beat in the Carolinas
Conference, and with good reason.
Experience plus added height have
made High Point the Conference
favorite. Dale Neel, who made All-
Conference, is back this year, look
ing taller and heavier. He teams up
with another All-Conference re
turnee, Barry Smith. Two of the
other three starters are also return
ing lettermen. Kirk Stewart, a 6-5
forward, has led the team in scor
ing on a number of previous occa
sions this season. Joe Forte, the
other guard, is a good play-maker.
Also featured in the line-up is Steve
Tatgenhorst, a high school Ail-
American from Ohio, and Bill
Green, a 6-9 junior college All-
American.
The Quakers also have some im
pressive credentials. Bob KaufF
man, who is 6-8, 245 lbs., is perhaps
the most promising big man in the
Conference. Reporters have said
some wonderfid things about him.
High Point scouts at the Pfeiffer
game were impressed with his sur
prising mobility. Chuck Scott and
Leon Young, who jump like kanga
roos, will also make their presence
felt tonight. Leon is one of the fast
est men in the Conference and
Chuck is one of the best scorers.
Well, tonight anything can hap
pen. The last time the teams met,
High Point squeezed by, 45-43.
Starting time is at 8:00 p.m. We
hope to see you there!

tiling out of the Quakers. Pfeiffer's
John Miller hit a long-range jump
shot, Billy Wynne hit a free throw,
followed by a lay-up, and Pfeiffer
had the lead 35-32.
It did not last long. Chuck Scott
caught fire. He hit two free throws,
tossed in a lay-up and hit a decisive
jump shot from the corner. When
the smoke cleared away the Quak
ers had taken a 44-38 lead. It took
the Falcons three minutes to regain
their composure and with 6:38 to
play they were back in the ball
game, behind 44-43.
Now it was Bob Kauffman's turn.
He hit a jump shot, tried another
and missed but followed with a
tap-in. It gave Guilford a 48-43
lead. With 0:47 remaining David
Odom tossed in a pair of free
throws, to put the game on ice.
Scott led all scorers with 22
points. He was followed by Car
ver's 18, 13 of which came in the
first half. The Quakers outrebound
ed the Falcons 42-33 and outshot
them 43.1 per cent to 39.6 per cent.
