THE THREE EYED COW
by Nevets Keep
The Great One
NORTH WILKESBORO -
What am I doing here?
Although I left with every
intention of sliding on down to
Pinehurst, the best laid
plans... I spotted a waterlog
ged traveler somewhere
between here and the edge of
the New World Freeway on a
rainey night, no not in
Georgia.
He got in my Selby AC
Cobra, and all he could say
was "Nice wheel's man, my
Lugs, Lugs McGrafity,
but everybody calls me Pit
Stop." We exchanged plea
santries, and naturally I asked
him where he was going. "To
see a three-eyed cow, man,"
he returned. I discussed the
matter with him, just to make
sure this character wasn't
dipping in the catnip. So after
a brief pitstop myself, •I
headed the AC towards the
Booters Home Today
It is a common occurence for
a team to schedule an
opponent who will probably
offer them the least competi
tion of any other, as the first
game of the season. But, it is
not common, usually, for the
second game to be played
against the team who will
probably offer the most
competition.
This was the case of the
Guilford College soccer team
this year. The Quakers record
stands at 1-1, after opening
with an easy 7-1 victory over
Greensboro College, and then
being beaten 7-2 by perennial
Atlantic Coast Conference
contender, Duke University.
The Quakers played well
chicken capital of world-Wilkes
county.
We got in a long line of
traffic early Sunday morning
just outside 0 f North
Wilkesboro. "Lotta people
must go to see this three-eyed
cow?" I said. "What, Oh yeah
man." he acknowledged.
I parked the AC beside of a
fine 5-6 Chevy, mudflaps and
all. "Nice Wheels, man,"
Pitstop pointed out. "Yeah,
only if you live in High Point,"
I muttered.
By the time we settled in
our seat, I knew something
was wrong. "This is a stock
car race!" I exclaimedas about
1,000 very mean looking
rednecks were zeroing in on
me. "Musta come here the
wrong Sunday, oh hell, lets
watch the race and here, have
a beer," was all he could say.
So we sat and watched the
against G.C., but only well
enough to win.
"We were nothing super,
by any means," comments
sophomore forward David
Scott, "but we know we didn't
have to be, and could probably
get away with it. We're a team
capable of scoring when we
need to, and we did just that."
Guilford still wasn't in the
form they would have liked to
have been, as they lost to the
Blue Devils. Outclassed is the
only word describing Guil
ford's play.
The players were mostly
philosophical about the de
feat, many feeling that were if
they had played to the best of
their abilities, they would not

race, drinking beer and
griping about how few wrecks
there were.
After about three hours of
drinking beer, eating greasy
hot dogs and many, many
pitstops, everyone stood up
and cheered. Like a little kid at
a football game, I knew the
race was over.
"Who won?" I asked
Pitstop. "Hell, 1 don't know.
"The guy driving the car that
was painted like a beer can, I
think," he said as he slipped
and fell after stepping on a
piece of Colonel Sander's
chicken gizzard. "Wonder if

ples?" Pitstop finished and
walked into a pole.
As we walked out of the
grandstand two drunks stopp

have been able to beat a very
good Duke side.
So, the rest of the season
lies ahead. No more teams like
Greensboro, but no more like
Duke either. There is not an
easy game ahead. The
traditional grudge match
against Belmont Abbey is in
early October, later on, tough
games with Pfeiffer, Elon and
NC State have to be played.
Atlantic Christian and UNC-G
are going to offer stiff
competition, while Guilford
will be out to avenge last
year's upset loss to NC
Wesleyan.

E & H 28-12
Big Bad Elon Is Next
by Steve Beck
Sports Editor
Guilford College's unde
feated football team faces
their toughest test of the
season in Elon College here
this Saturday in the Armfield
Sports Complex. Kickoff is
scheduled for 2:00.
With Elon coming up, coach
Dennis Haglan has had little
time to cherrish last weeks
smear of Emory and Henry
28-12. Following the win, the
entire coaching staff to a
personal look at the Christains
as they came back in the
fourth quarter to whip
Savannah State 20-0.
What Haglan saw in
Burlington was a Elon team
with a lot of new faces on last
years N.A.I.A. runner-ups.
One of those new names is
quarterback Phil Bracco. A
backup last year, Bracco
moved into the starting role
for this season.
If Elon has a weakness, it
lies in their offensive line.
Savannah kept constant pres
sure on Bracco for most of the
game. However, the line
blocking did hole up to enable
the fourth quarter Elon scores.
Last Saturday's win over E
and H brought out the best of
the Quaker defensive unit.
Mike Ribet picked off two
passes and ran one into the
endzone while the Human
Eraser, Bunky 'James and A 1
Patterson were stopping the
Wasp's rushing attack.
The Wasps opened up their
offense several times by
taking to the air until shut off
in the second half. "It was
simply a matter of reposition
ing our cornerbacks," Haglan
explained. "Once we moved
them on the outside of their
wide receivers, we were able

to shut off their passing for the
most part," he said, after the
game.
Fullback Billy Whitley,
running like a miniture Larry
Csonka, devasted the Wasp
defense as he rushed for 97
yards and two touchdowns.
"We were able to get much
better angles on our blocks
with Whitley running the
ball," Haglan replied when
asked why Whitley was called
on for most of the running load
and not Reggie Kenan, the
Quaker's speedy tailback.
Red Wilson, the controver
sial coach of Elon, called the
upcoming game as a tough
one. "When Elon and
Guilford meet, the game is
always tough, no matter what
the score is," he said Monday.
Wilson was asked what kind
of Guilford team he would
face Saturday. He said,
"Guilford does not do very
many things well, but what
they can do, they use to their
advantage.
"Guilford is much improved
over last year, and their
record shows that. "They
have come a long way in
instilling a winning atmos
' phere this year, and we expect
'a good game with them.
The game promises to fill
Armfield the brim. Elon
radio last week called the
contest, "...just like another
home game for Elon."
Guilford is expected to have
its largest home crowd in
many years. A Quaker victory
could make or break the
team for the season. Wilson
knows this and Haglan knows
this. All that is left to find out
who wins on Saturday.
