OCTOBER 16,1970
Shep, Stanley Lead
35-7 Football Win
A powerful tailback combin
ation composed of sophomores
David Sheppard and James Stan
ley created the groundwork for
Guilford's victory over Gardner-
Webb last Saturday, as the
charging Quakers prepared for
an all-important conference tilt,
with Lenoir Rhyne looming as
the next opponent.
The duo of speedsters co
operated for 271 yards, and the
remainder of the Guilford attack
and defense coordinated itself
for a 35-7 conquest of the now
1-3 Bulldogs.
A superb defensive effort
sparked the Quakers' second
victory of the schedule, present
ing several scoring opportunities
deep in Bulldog territory, which
for the most part benefited
Guilford in one way or the
other.
Quarterback John Blanks and
the offense failed to drive over
the goal line in the first quarter
despite several attractive
chances, with kicking specialist
Mike Stewart instead connecting
on 32 and 27 yard field goals.
Later, four touchdowns were
produced in an explosive after
math to the so-so opening,
Blanks throwing for two tallies,
and Sheppard undertaking
broken field runs for two more.
Coach Wilbur Johnson was
moved to comment, "Physically
we played real well while men
tally we made a lot of mistakes
in the first quarter, when we
should have put it away."
The non-conference en
counter opened with the Boiling
Springs team fielding the ball,
then getting nowhere, as the
Quaker defense embarked on a

first quarter blitz which pushed
the opposition to minus yards
offense. Another possession also
resulted in minimal gains, and a
punt left the ball on the 50.
Guilford moved close but failed
to penetrate a goal-line stand,
and at 7:48 Stewart notched his
first of two three-pointers.
Linebacker Bob Carlson re
covered a fumble on Gardner-
Webb's 3 yard line, and a
penalty moved the scrimmage
line back five yards. Rushing
attempts, and a pass, proved'
futile, and Steward put through
his fifth of the year. ■
Guilford's offense finally
clicked, after being set up in its
own territory by a punt, and a
72 yard march ensued, Sheppard
collecting 29, and Blanks hitting
star receiver Geoff Clark for a 27
hard touchdown play. Attempts
by both teams to scratch after
the two point conversion from
Blanks to Sheppard proved
futile, the only excitement being
an interception by cornerback
Richard Brock.
Two touchdowns t came in
quick succession in the opening
minutes of the second half,
Gardner-Webb profiting from a
fumble recovery deep in Guil
ford territory, and the Quakers
immediately marching 72 yards
after a Clay Barefoot intercep
tion. Williamston native Shep
pard went the last 25 with a
cross-country run.
Sheppard scored agagin, going
27 yards on Guilford's first
possession of the fourth quarter,
ten minutes yet to go.
Several Gardner-Webb at
tempts to further increase the
score camy to naught, the last
ending with only thirty-five
seconds on the clock. Guilford
required three plays to run up
the highest point total of the
year for the Greensboro com
petitor. Starting on the 45,
Stanley ripped off 23 yards,
Clark caught a Blanks pass for
14 more.

Essay: On Cross County Country
by JIM SHIELDS
Coach Alan Saunders, who is
a true and tested follower of the
discipline of distance running,
issues a proposition to the male
students of Guilford College.
For the mere price, even the
enjoyable one, of daily persuing
the complexities of how to put
one foot in front of another at a
fairly rapid pace, he offers one
and all the prize of lettering in a
Guilford sport, the chance of
gaining recognition in a largely
heretofore unplumbed field, the
joys of competition, and the
healthful daily rigors of a purely
individual sport.
More simply, why should one
not join the cross country team?
Already involved, perhaps in
Duke To Be
Quaker Opponent
continued from page 6
tion, as he pointed out the
Quaker problem in their defeat
was not due toone particular
weak spot in the personnel, but
rather because of inexperience.
Duke was to be the Quaker
opponent in a Thursday contest,
another tough ordeal for Guil
ford's small squad, as the Blue
Devils have great potential to
draw on, and can field a very
good attack.
St. Augustine is to be chal
lenged on the Guilford home
field, site of the first victory
again with a 2:00 p.m. starting
time.
heterosexual problems, academic
worries, professorial conflicts?
Run away from it all, toward a
brighter, more simpler future. Of
course, at least a small amount
of energy output is necessary, if
one does not intend to suffer the
iisgrace of being drag man in a
field of, say, twenty-five speed
sters.
One need not feel he is taking
a step into the unknown. Five
brave souls actually survived the
trials of Guilford's tumultuous
first season of cross country
competition, and are inscribed
herein for the sake of prosperity;
namely, Kenneth Bailey, Robert
Milan, Jesse Corum, Wendel
Love, and Howard Looney. All
enjoyed seasons of varying de
grees of success. One newcomer
on the hallowed Quaker campus
has already plunged into the
arena, one Jock Coffield.
Experienced hands are avail
able to guide one's career in this
area, as A 1 Saunders has a varied
past of sports coaching in the
not-too-distant history of North
Carolina, including a post of
assistant to the varsity coach of
an Atlantic Coast Conference
squad. For those who do not
favor devoting all their time to
long distance running, fall track
practice may'also be installed as
a feature of the Guilford College
sports life.
Despite all the preceeding
prose, the decision is really not
that momentous. One does not
even need anything to prove to
anybody, all that is needed is a
desire to take off and RUN, the
motivation which has prompted
Christmas is just around the
corner. Do you have some
thing in mind that a few
extra dollars could help pay
for? If you have 15 hours a
week we can help you help
yourself. Call for appoint

The 300 or so words above
are dedicated to the propagation
of one of the Quaker sports,
apparently because of an interest
in athletic endeavor, but truth
fully also because no sports
department can survive it if
necessary minus snoits to write
about.

sphere at Guilford, educational
and otherwise.
At the beginning of the
hearing, which lasted well over
two hours, various city and state
officials, of whom there were
many, informed the combined
crowd of the progressiveness o f
North Carolina's road develop
ment system, which ranks at the
summit of the nation's pave
ment-laying organizations.
R. W. McGowan, State High
way Commissioner, announced
that as usual in such cases, the
commission would wait ten days
before considering the 1 argu
ments, and further opinions and
facts may be submitted before
the period ends. McGowan as
sured all present that future
conferences between joUege,
city and state representatives
would be forthcoming.
Among the questions at the
meeting were demands as to why
West Market was not being
developed as an artery, to the
airport, why the state felt seven
lanes were needed when the rest
of Friendly Road would only be
four lanes, and why not have a
large radial artery built to the
airport through the *orin part of
town.
