A WEEK THAT IS BEST FORGOTTEN Remaining Games Important for Hooters by Steve Beck Guilfordian Sports Editor Head soccer coach Scott Hutcherson was a little down last night. His Quakers had just lost their second game in a row, their third in four outings. "Its hard to explain just what's happening," Huthch erson said in an interview last night. "In the majority of out games we've had the ball in scoring position but we just can't put the ball in the goal. "Against Central Wesleyan we started slow but then came on with a good second half. "Same thing with the High Point game only this time we couldn't come up with the goals," he stated. Guilford's district record is starting to cause Hutchersor some concern. In nearly any N.A.I. A. sport the district record is what qualifies a team for post-season playoffs, and so far this year the Quakers have a disappointing 1-2-C record. Overall they stand 1-3-1. "Right now we can't lose anymore district games to still qualify for the playoffs. "There is a possibility of scheduling additional games with Belmont Abbey and High Point but nothing has been finalized yet," he stated. Despite the loses, several players are having . good seasons for the first year Coach. "Claude Arnold (right half back) has been playing well, especially in the Belmont Abbey game as have David Brown (left halfback) and fullbacks Garrett Wall and Eddie Dillard," Hutcherson reported. "Wall is playing well despite having inflamed tendons in his foot," he added. Tommorrow Guilford enter tains Atlantic Christian Col lege in a non-district match. Monday they travel to Elon before going on to play Pfeiffer, N.C. Wesleyan and UNC-G. Tired of having every sports article written by me? Not as tired as I am of writing them. I need a sports writer.

Yes dear friends, welcome to the world of snails and adventure as I report to you from Rancho Marlario. U. Cattcha Veedee, owner and operator of the Rancho invited me here, so 1 headed the AC Cobra west on the New World Freeway and pumped the petal. In a record 7 hours and 41 minutes I crossed over this great country of ours, and like it was yesterday I was here. What is Rancho Marlario? The Rancho is a R and R center (rest and Reproduction) for football procrastinators who have, how shall 1 put it, gone into a slump. Slump hell, I stunk last week. No doubt about it. 1 knew 1 was given away one when I picked the Quakers, but can you believe William and Mary. And could you believe Mary last Monday night. Wow! What actually happens at the Rancho? I put this question to Veedee and he replied. "We try to give the predictor who has lost his/her touch more confidence, serve a lot of whiskey, and generally have a good time." Here, here! And who did I meet there but the infamous predictor from High one, the only (thank heavens) San Quentin Quayle. Quayle has been in the dumps lately and he flew out for some R and R himself. "The colleges don't give me too much problems, but the high school games are pure hell," Quayle muttered. "Those high school kids have so many other things on their mind, they never think about football," Quayle slurr ed. "Another week like the last one and I'm going to pick all the games to tie," and suddenly he passed out. In fact everyone at the Ranch had passed out, even Veedee. Later, everybody teamed up to have a "Lets get sick and play for fun and prizes" contest, which Quayle won hands down. So on that sick note, here again are some pretty sick predictions. A perfect ending to a sick article. GUILFORD at GARDNER WEBB This is an easy one. How could I pick Elon last week to win. even though I knew they would win. No favors this week for anybody.

Catawba kept its three game winning streak intact with a 23-7 win over former conference member New berry. Ron Adams, who carried the ball 11 times for 99 yards, scored twice for the Indians. Jim Bucher got the other TD and Frank Zarkowski made good on a 25-yard field goal. Prince Deese, a reserve runningback, scored a pair of six-pointers in the final period for Elon, but the workhorse for the Christians was Alex McMillan who rushed 147 yards on 24 carries. The other Elon TD came on a 10 yard pass from Phil Bracco to Ron Stroud. In other action in the league. Mars Hill got back on the winning track in a real scoring affair at Georgetown. Ronnie Reeves returned a 48-yard punt and a 93-yard kickoff for scores and then ran See Carolinas Continued on Page 8 Christians Crucify Quakers by Steve Beck Guilfordian Sports Editor ARMFIELD ATHLETIC CENTER - Big, bad Elon came to town last Saturday, and they were indeed big and bad. The Fighting Christians wore down a determined Guilford College football squad 28-0 to remain undefeated and un scored upon. There was a little bit of nostalgia in the loss, five fumbles and a defensive let-down which gave the Christians 14 points in less than 90 seconds. Besides those fiascos, Guilford played Elon tough the entire game, never giving in. Guilford crossed the mid field strip three times in the opening period but it was Elon who provided the scoring threat. The Christians moved to the Quaker 2-yard line, bogged down, and missed a 21 yard chip shot field goal. It is quite unusual for a Red Wilson coached team to fail to score once inside the ten, and stopping Elon here was a great tribute to the Quaker defense. However, the defense heroics were suddenly out classed. Tony Swainey punted beautifully to the Elon 2-yard line but here the Christian offense started to click. With the Elon front line mowing down the Quaker forward wall, the Christians quickly moved 98 yards in only 12 plays as Speedster Alex McMillian crashed from the one. Never on this drive was Elon confronted with a third down situation. Suddenly it was 1972 again and Kerry Oates fumbled after running the insuing kickoff to the GC 26 yard line. Phil Bracco then took to the air, finding a consistantly open Tim Stroud twice, the latter being a nine yard scoring strike. Guilford kickoff to begin the final half and Elon took off again moving to the GC 10. However the Davidson County Demon, Blaine Ty singer, intercepted a Bracco pass and See Christians Continued on Page 7
