Carolina; Team nickname-
Mountaineers; Enrollment-6000;
Team colors-Gold and black;
NAIA member, no conference
affliation; Home field-Conrad
Stadium, capacity 10,000.
Head coach Carl Messere will
open his 1970 season in
Greensboro Saturday night
against the Quakers, and he
brings with him an accumulation
of players promising to make the
Mountaineers one of the top
independent schools in the
South and in the nation. Nine
offensive starters return to
provide scoring punch for the
Apps, headed by senior
quarterback Hal Queen and a
bevy of experienced receivers.
Queen threw for twelve
touchdowns during the
Mountaineers 1969 6-5 season,
amassing 1528 yards along the
way. All-district split end
Clayton Deskins promises to
severely test any defensive
secondary, finishing last year as
Queen's principal receiver with
22 catches for 379 yards.
End Steve Mock, flanker
Richard Agle, and tailback David
McGlammery were also capable

center and tight end.
Defensively, Appalachian
returns ten lettermen of a team
total of twenty-four. Former
Quaker head coach Bob Lord
heads this contingent, and boasts
of two all-district performers in
tackle Wayne Fletcher and end
Phil Keener.
Problems for the
Mountaineers could arise in the
defensive secondary, but
improvement is expected. Lack
of depth may also hurt, but at
the present Messere's squad
appears to be dangerously ready
for action, capable of either
running or throwing the ball.
Coed Living
At Swarthmore
Three forms of coed living are
being tried at Swarthmore
College, a small Quaker college
in Pennsylvania. The
S arthmore College Bulletin
describes the three plans. In one
dorm, men and women will be
assigned randomly selected
rooms. In another, men and
women will occupy different
suites. In a third dorm, they will
be assigned to different floors.
The Board of Managers of
Swarthmore College proposed
coeducational housing in a
subcommittee report which held
"Education in the widest sense is
a process of hiscovery in which
individuals learn to exercise
mature and responsible
judgment and choice, and coed
housing provides another
dimension in which this process
can be facilitated at
Swarthmore."
players are expected to
participate in the training
session, Maynard having already
lined up a freshman infield and
one catcher, while searching for
another possible catcher.
Guilford's only loss to
Baduation was pitching ace
oug Fox, but one of the
Quaker's foremost
undergraduate pitchers left
school for personal reasons,
leaving Maynard's staff
undermanned. Freshman
left-hander Larry Jackson,
exceptional as a hurler in prep
action, is slated to assume much
of the pitching action.
THE GUILFORDIAN
Jensen Now Quaker Coach
Jerry Steele Joins ABA
Fifth year assistant coach
Jack Jensen ascended to the
position of head basketball
mentor for Guilford College
August 18th, replacing eight
year veteran Jerry Steele, who
advanced into the professional
ranks with an appointment as
Carolina Cougar director of
player personnel and assistant
coach to Bones McKinney.
Steele and Jensen guided tlie
1969-70 Quakers to heights
unsuspectedby any before the
season began, including a fourth
place finish nationally in NAIA
ranks. Prior to the exceptional
season finale, Guilford roared to
regular season and tournament
conference championships, a
district championship, three
straight wins in national
tournament competition, and
twenty-one straight wins.
In his first year as Quaker
coach, Steele and his players
accumulated a 5-20 record. Last
year, the evidence of a
basketball dynasty >vas evident, as
Guilford charged to a final 32-5
mark. Jensen will inherit last
year's nearly intact
championship team, plus some
new talent which can only
improve the Quakers.
Jerry Steele's offer was
undoubtably attractive, but
Jensen's also appears appealing.
While Steele will be in charge of
building a scouting system for
the Cougars and assisting with
coaching duties when possible,
with apparentlyexcellent
chances for advancement, Jensen
now has the material necessary
to at least reach the national
tournament, a feat performed by
four of Steele's teams, three of
them consecutively.
Jensensets no goals for the
coming year, other than desiring
to reach the District 26
play-offs. As head coach of a
successful team, the former
Wake Forest player wants to
"carry on a winning tradition,
and do as well as we have been
doing because of Steele."
Very little change in either
defense or offense is planned by
the Quaker coach, who noted
that all of the upperclassmen
know the system, which is a very
successful one, and there is no
reason to change.
Heading the list of returnees
will be All-Conference,
All-District center David Smith,
who led the Quakers in scoring
and rebounding. Joining him will
be 6-6 Tom Ennis, 6-5 M.L.
Carr, 6-3 Jerry Crocker, 6-2
Teddy East, plus a bundle of
talented reserves. Both Carr and
Crocker made All-Conference
teams, with Carr going on to
reap All-District honors.
Six Quaker players received
post season recognition, five
representing the team on a State
Department sponsored goodwill
tour of Africa for six weeks, and
another performer receiving
invitations to two different
training camps for international
basketball contests. Bert Feik,
M.L. Carr, Jerry Crocker, Tom
Ennis, and led East traveled
with Coach Steele throughout
Africa, conducting clinics and
playing local teams. David Smith
first attended the Olympic

A
training camp, and was
outstanding there, then the 6-8
junior accepted a berth on the
World University team, which
toured Europe, including many
Iron Curtain countries, before
finally returning to the U.S.
The only Quaker lost to
graduation was 6-3 Eddie Dyer,
a 1968 junior college transfer
who took charge of the Quakers
early in the season and led them
on their championship bid.
Several recruits arrive to
brighten the Quaker outlook,
comprising what Jensen calls "a
good group to continue
Guilford's winning tradition
with." Heading the list will be
6-2 Greg Jackson of West
Columbus, an All-State
performer at guard. Transfer
Maynard Reynolds also beefs up
the guard corps, arriving from
UNC-Wilmington, where Tie was
the Seahawks leading scorer two
years ago. (Including sixteen
points in one game against
Guilford) Both Reynolds and
Jackson are expected to help the
Quakers immediately, with more
possible assistance coming from
freshman Robert Fulton, a
player from Winston-Salem witli
a good scoring touch.
Jensen expects 6-5 senior
John Dixon to have his best
season with the Quakers,
describing the former local high
school star as improved over the
past year.
With the best depth ever on a
Quaker team, Jensen is counting
on having eight and possibly nine
players good enough to help the
team win immediately.
No starting positions have
been determined due to the
abundance of talent, and the
newly appointed mentor expects
competition to be vicious in
practice, which starts October
12.
Talent and depth will be
necessary, according to Jensen,
as Guilford faces an extremely
difficult schedule thorughout
the month of December, not
having a home game until after
the new year arrives.
Oppostion down the stretch
of the old year includes two tough
tornaments, during which the
Quakers will have to face either

Elon or A&T iri the first, and
probably Carson-Newman in the
second, a team which lias been
very seldom even challenged on
its home court, where the
encounter takes place.
Games on the campus of
Pfeiffer and Atlantic Shristian
further complicate the schedule,
plus a meeting with
UNC-Asheville on a neutral
court.
If the Quakers get through
those eight contests, Jensen feels
they will be in good shape,
barring injuries or losses due to
other reasons. Last year Guilford
went through thirty-seven
contests with no serious injuries,
and only one minor ankle sprain,
the first time in seven years the
Quakers have been so fortunate,
according to Jensen.
Another problem arising
for the Quakers, due to their
outstanding performance last
year, will be that all the other
teams have their best games
against the previous years
champion. Despite a tough
schedule and mean opposition,
Jensen expects the Quakers to
acquit themselves well.
