Quakers Host
Emory and Henry
Here Saturday
The Guilford College foot
ball Quakers remain at home
this Saturday following last
weeks win over Hampton
Sydney as they entertain
winless Emory and Henry.
The Wasps have dropped
games to Mars Hill 19-6 and
Georgetown 20-0.
Quaker coach Dennis Hag
lan was generally pleased with
the performance of his team
against H-S. "Categorically,
our offense was okay, and our
defense was exceptional
except when we bogged down
and let them get into scoring
position," he stated in an
interview Tuesday.
Guilford will enter the game
without the services of
tightend Charlie Groves.
Groves was injured after he
caught an important pass on
the H-S 24-yard line. When
asked how much Groves'
injury will hurt the Quakers,
Haglan replied, "It will cause
us to start our resuffling
process earlier than we
thought." Other than that
injury, Guilford is in good
shape for Saturday's game.
Butch Foley's two field
goals were a pleasant surprise

Quakers, Cont. from P. 7
penal;ies after pass receptions
Guilford needed to control
the ball now more than any
point of the game and Whitley
responded with a first down on
runs of 12 and seven yards.
However, the offense stalked
and was forced to punt. Tony
Su ainey then backed H-S to
their on 12 yard line, a 53 yard
purt.
C equien then failed on two
passing attempts, while a
draw play lost four yards.
Having no choice but to
gamble on a fourth and 14
from the eight, Cequien
dropped back into his own
end/one, but was rushed hard
bv the entire defensive line.
Forced to run, Cequien was
dropped by Richard Kalin in
the endzone who put the
finishing touches on win
number two.
to Haglan. "I was surprised
that he kicked the ball that
well, but I don't think Butch
was surprised, he said. He
knows he can kick." Although
not a surprise to Haglan, the
punting of Tony Swainey was
also a big asset in the H-S win.
"After Tony punted short (to
the Bulldog 19-yard line) he
came to the sidelines and
apologized. But this year Tony
is thinking about the team
first, and individual stats
second," he related.
Like Hampton Sydney,
E&H will bring a strong
defensive team but an
inexperienced offense to
Armfield Saturday. Heading
up the Wasp defense will be
backs Reggie Palmer (5' 11"
187) and Ron Maybry (5' 11"
170). Mike Austin heads the
defensive line. On offense,
look for fullback Jeff Stanley
(s'll 192) and wide receiver
Ben Tolley (6'l 177).
"Emory and Henry went
into the first two games
thinking they could win," said
Haglan, "they will now have
to decide if they want to settle
down and have a good season,
"They wiJJ be up for the
game," he concluded.

Garrett, Cont. from P. 7
FT: Who do you feel is the
most improved player on the
team this season?
GW: Like I said before, the
whole front line has improved
to the point where their
playing together as a unit and
getting the ball in the net. But
if your asking which individual
has improved the most, I'd
guess I would say Steve
Skinner. He controls the
mid-field area and the course
of the ball game. He is the one
who gets the team headed for
a score.
FT: Well, one difference in
this year's team is that you're
playing under a different
coach. What are your
impressions and those of the
other team members about
Scott Hutchinson?
GW: 1 feel like Scott
Hutchinson is doing a pretty
good job. He came in the first
day with alot of enthusiasm
and spirit that has carried over
to most of the players we were
more a kick and run team but
this season Scott has settled
us down. He is very
methodical about our play,
stressing the short pass and
ball control. I think that most
of the team is behind him and
want to win for him. I have
played four years at Guilford
under four different coaches. I
feel he has done the best job in
organizing us into a team.
FT: Any predictions about a
successful season?
GW: I definitely feel we'll
have a winning season and I
think there is a good chance of
us winning the district and
area playoffs. Besides Duke, I
feci our toughest district game
will be against Belmont
Abbey. Last year they beat us
in both the regular season and
the District championship by
one goal. 1 think that the Duke
game, win or lose, will be a
good indicator about how good
of a team we are. If we can
give them a good name. I will
be happv.
Nevets, Cont. from P. 7
ranch near the town. Pope was
beaten to death by one of his
farm helpers with a nylon
stocking after Pope refused
the helper a day off to walk his
pet fish. After each thrashing
the stocking, the farm hand
repeatedly screamed, whynot,
whynot?"
Fortunately, law enforce
ment officials arrived and
stopped the farm hand from
delivering further punish
ment. Pope was nearly dead
by the time first aid could be
applied, efforts were futile. It
is said that his last words
were, "I place a curse on
everybody in this town, their
children, their children's
children, etc., who says
'whynot' to anyone!"
The person who asks
whynot will be sentenced to
argue with the townspeople
for the rest of his life.
I really could not believe I
sat and listened to all of this
from the service station man
as he filled my tank, in fact he
wouldn't shut up. One slip had
lead to another until everyone
except him, in town had asked
"whynot". They argued
around the clock. He just
wanted to talk, not argue.
Perhaps the meanness came
out in me then he said, "That
will be 15 dollars for 3 1/4
gallons." "That's impossible!
1 said. "Whynot," he
demanded, and then realized
what he had said. "Because I
only have ten dollars," I said
smugly. Then I rode off into
the sunset toward Pinehurst,
satisfied again that I had
ruined someone else's day,or
life in this case.
Oh yeah, here are this
weeks losers.
EMORY and HENRY at
GUILFORD
Inches kept Guilford from
beating the Wasps', last year,
Revenge will be on the minds
of the Quakers this and don't
be surprised when E and H is
the loser,
UNC at WAKE FOREST
This should be an easy one
for the Heels as the poor Decs
are slumping again. Carolina
has too much manpower no
matter how well WF plays.
The Decs are the losers 35-o.
SAVANNA STATE at ELON
Little is known about
Savanna except they tied N.C.
Central, which is nothing to be
proud of. Elon will flex its
muscles as Savanna loses
42-0.
September 20,1974
CLEMSON at STATE
Clemson was the only team
that failed the Great One last
week. Alright you guys, stand
me up will you. I'm going to
enjoy this one as the Tigers
lose. let's say 35 to zip.
LENOIR RHYNE at WOF
FORD
LR tied in their opener last
week and Wofford does not
start until this weekend. The
one game experience will all
the Bears will have going for
them as Wofford is the loser
14-12.
MARYLAND at FLORIDA
Perhaps I was a bit too
rough on the Terps last week.
Either Bama isn't as good as
predicted or the game was
fixed, Your loser? Florida
35-14.
CATAWBA at MARS HILL
MHC did not show much in
last weeks loss to Elon.
Catawba should be high after
last weeks win, high enough to
passout when they lose 21-7.
DUKE at SOUTH CAROLINA
The Dukes were disappoint
ing last week against Moo U,
and 'Cock fans are asking for
either for a win, or the team's
blood. Hope they like type A
as the Gamecocks blow
another 20-14.
WILLIAM and MARY at
VIRGINIA
Navy stopped UVA last
week while W and M were
whipping Wake. Yes, we have
another loser, UVA 28-7.
S.C. STATE at N.C. A&T
The Aggie appear to be
tougher this year, but then
they had to be. S.C. is the
lose in a 35-3 smear.
Others picks include: Geor
gia over Mississippi State.
Appalachian over Davidson,
Arkansas over Oklahoma
State, Air Force over Oregon,
and the Waltons over the next
disaster in the closing
minutes.
Duke, Cont. from P. 7
The two collided and Boykin
got up to kick the ball into the
unattended net.
Duke then came back to
score an unimportant goal in
the latter stages of the game,
giving the Blue Devils the 7-2
final.
The loss dropped the
Quaker's record to 1-1 on the
season while the win for Duke
came in their season opener.
The Guilford booters are idle
until the entertain Virginia
Central one week from today.
