Page 8 Women Volley bailers Headed for Tourney The Women's Volleyball team played in the Carolina's Conference Tournament on October 21 and finished in third place, losing only to High Point and Elon Colleges. Diane Conklin and Wanda Robbins were named to the All-Conference Team. Tonight the team will wind up their regular season with a tri-match against Louisburg and UNC-Chapel Hill at UNC's gym. Later in the week Intramural Volleyball is Here Again by C.K. Intramural volleyball has once again come to the Guilford College campus. With 12 female teams and 14 male teams the spirit in playing is high. Each team has six players with substitutes rotating in. The game consists of eleven points with the best two out of three for a team win. Even though the players officiate the games themselves, an official scorer is brought by each team. The official volleyball handbook, DGWS, govern the rules. As for the actual games; they consist of more than six players and a bunch of rules. On Monday October 27th the first matches were held in the gymnasium. The girls voices outside the gym became louder as they waited for the practicing basketball players to finish. The spirit was high V'. : - A•? *>j> ; .ot / ' ' "'^Sti'!: $S£ V 4' C &f* ? - #* * ;• ** * #w • Richard Shimaka hustles the ball by the High Point goalie in Quaker victory last Sunday afternoon. This exciting win puts our team in tied place for first in the conference! Photo by Catoe (on Friday and Saturday) the team will travel to Charlotte to play in the section "C" of the State Tournament. Guilford is a good contender for the win in this tourney. The strongest competition will come from UNC-Wilmington, who have lost to our team previously this season, Pembroke, who has squeezed by before, and Lenoir-Rhyne College. The season record thus far is 12-9. and the girls were anxious to get on the court. Once in the gym; confusion struck....my team seemed totally confused, as did others who were just wandering around. Once we discovered how the rotating procedure worked, half of our problem was solved. Now all we had to do was to cover our portion of the court and hit the ball. With the laughing, the excitement after each point won, the flying balls from other courts, and still a bit of confusion, covering your share of the court just wasn't that easy. By the time the match was over everyone was just starting to get into it. The next games I'm sure will be much easier to handle. Even if your team isn't playing, come and see the others play. You'll get to see some good volleyball and definitely get to see some "fun"! The Gullfordian Q.B. Stewart Leads Quakes in L.R. Victory By Steve Beck COLLEGE FIELD, Hickory- Momentum is a strange item in college football. Lenoir Rhyne, already ahead 19-7, was threatening to blow Guilford out early in the third period. Instead, LR fumbled the ball away on the Quaker five-yard line. Two series later LF fumbled again, again in good field position at the GC 31. Then the explosion came. The Quakers, led by reserve quarterback Johnny Stewart and some mighty tough running by fullback Billy Whitley scored the next four times they had the ball in route to a 34-27 victory over the Bears. Stewart came off the Guilford bench with 12:08 to play in the third quarter to pass for 165 yards, while Whitley was great all day as he gained 111 yards and scored three touchdowns. But if one is going to talk about offensive performances, there is no way to leave out the name of wide receiver Chris Paphities. Paphities caught seven balls for 142 yards, but that's only half the story. When the Quakers needed yardage in the second half, they went to Paphities. Three times in the half he made impossible catches, clutch catches. "The whole first half seemed to have been played on our half of the field," stated Guilford coach Dennis Haglan, "but in the second half we kept our poise and quit making the mistakes that were hurting us." Losing coach Jack Huss saw his team's inability to take advantage of scoring oppor tunities as the fatal twist in the Bears defeat. "We had the opportunity to be up 41-7 early in the third quarter but couldn't put the ball in the endzone," moaned Huss, '' After that we lost our edge.'' Two Bear passes were intercepted in the endzone in the first half. One was by Mike Williams and the other by Blaine Tysinger just before the half. The early second half fumble on the five-yard line was the other opportunity Huss was talking about. Things could have been worse for the Quakers in the first half if it wasn't for the ability of starting QB Joe Osborne to draw LR offsides. Whitley scored on a five yard run on the Quakers first possession, but almost half of the 54 yards in the scoring drive came from five Bear offside penalties. Rick Padgett got Lenoir Rhyne on the board on the next possession when he kicked a 37 yard field goal. Carl Spain then put the Bears up 10-7 with a two yard run a he replaced an injured Scott Crawford. Crawford, considered by many as the premier running back in the state, was injured on the play before Spain's score. He returned later only to be ejected for fighting with Cliff Hunsucker -- not a very smart thing to do. Anyway, while in the game he managed only 28 yards on nine carries. LR then tacked on a safety when Whitley was dropped in the endzone trying to quick-kick the ball out. Six plays later Padgett missed a 41 yard FG attempt. The Quakers then punted after three plays and after the kick Bear QB Tommy Bradley raced around left end for a 35 yard run for a 19-7 lead. Whitley fumbled with less than a minute in the half on the Quaker 28. A twenty yard pass from Mike Everette to Chip Sheffield gave LR the ball first and goal from the eight. Everette went back to pass again and passed into the endzone, but Tysinger was there waiting on the ball to keep the Quakers in the pot and out of the first. The second half began to November 4, 1975 look worse for the Quakers. With a first and goal from the five right after the kickoff, Crawford fumbled, another big turnover, but three plays later Charlie Groves had to punt again. Three plays later Everette fumbled with Bunky James, Guilford's man about New York, recovering. The Quakers were now ready to explode. Explode they did! Seven plays later Reggie Kenan went in from 14 yards out as Stewart led them 64 yards to cut the lead 19-14. LR fumbled the kickoff and one play later Guilford fumbled right back. But five plays later LR punted and the Quakes were in business again. This time Kenan's four yard run put the Quakers ahead for good as Guilford marched 69 yards in only six plays. The big play was a 34 yard pass from Stewart to Paphities. Two plays later Crawford fumbled yet again, this time on the LR 29 and less than a minute later Whitley was in the endzone with his second score. That ended the 20 point third quarter. The Bears punted to the ten and a clip moved it back to the five-yard line but Guilford was not through. Thirteen plays later Whitley scored the hat trick with a one yard drive, Butch Foley converting the point after for a 34-19 lead. Guilford had scored four times in a row! Lenoir Rhyne put a scare into the Quakers as Sheffield scored on a 34 yard pass from Everette but time had run out for the Bears. Kenan was crushed on the kickoff at his own five and LR seemingly had the momen tum. Stewart took care of that on first down from there as he hit Paphities with a 25 yard pass to move Guilford from the danger zone. The Stewart to Paphities combination worked twice more on clutch plays, preventing LR from ever getting the ball again. Guilford, now 6-2, enter tains hapless Winston-Salem State (0-8) next Saturday in rustic Armfield Stadium. It will be the last home game of the year.
