September 13,1977 Soccer Team Victorious The Guilford College soccer team began their season on a highly successful note last Wednesday as they defeated North Carolina 2-0, in an exhibition match. The game was played in a very aggres sive manner, with neither team willing to pass it off as a simple, preseason exhibition game. The entire game was action packed, but the end of the first half saw a scoreless tie. The tie was broken by freshman David Beech as he scored from 20 yards out, with 10 minutes left in the game. Guilford assured themselves of the win as freshman Mark Keavney fired a shot from 30 feet out. The Caro lina goaltender deflected it, causing a loose ball, which sophomore Larry Davis booted in with four minutes to play. Davis was credited with the goal, and Keavney with the assist. Coach Alley said afterwards, "The game was meaningful to us because Carolina is one of the best teams in the ACC and it showed that we could play with any team in the state." v. Improved Intramurals In this school year, the Intramural Program promises to be better than before be cause of an expansion out of the Gym and into the dorms. The enlargement was made possible by the concept to the "Unit Repre sentative." These people are volunteers in each area of the dorms with whom students in that area should sign up for an intramural sport. To sign up for an intramural sport, look on your hall, floor, etc. for the room with the "unit Representative" sign on the door. The people in those rooms will answer your ques tions, sign you up, and inform you or your team as to when you are scheduled to compete. Each unit may have as many teams as possible. For example, last year Milner First Floor had three basketball teams. To find the overall Unit Champion, a new scoring system will be used this year. For each sport, the champion will receive 10 pts.; Second place, 7 pts.; Third place, 5 pts.; Fourth place, 3 pts.; and Fifth place, 1 pt. The unit with the most participation in each sport will receive 5 pts. The champions in each sport will receive a certificate and shirt designating him or her Alley had high praises for the defensive unit, "Goal tender Bob Sanguinetti along with defenders Ed Alonge, Chong Lee, Charles Agnew and Marty Block were excellent." Coach Alley hopes to better last year's 17-4 record as 14 lettermen return to the squad. Of those returning, only one player is a senior, while two are juniors. Included in those returning players are Co captains Ed Alonge and Steve Hicks, plus last years two top scorers, Bob Lloyd and Bobby Propster, with 16 and 29 goals, respectively. This early victory over an opponent as tough as Carolina was an important one for Guilford's young team. Alley noted that "it's important for a young team to experience success right away so that they gain confidence." Guilford's first regular season game is Tuesday, Sept. 13, at home against Greensboro College. A week later, the Quakers will be playing in the Campbell Tournament against East Carolina. If they win that game, they will face the winner of the Campbell- Erskine College match. as an Intramural Champion. The Unit with the most points at the end of the year will be the Intramural Unit Champion and have the name of the unit engraved on the plaque in Founder's lobby.

Last year, they were sporadic in the pitching department, lacked consistency in hitting, but on the other hand their defense was deadly. In order to improve on last year's record (21-20), the Quakers are planning to strengthen the offense and keep the high quality of defense. After battling through last year's rigorous schedule, the Quakers placed third in the conference and fourth in the districts suffering a lot of extra inning losses. This year, with better pitching and more experienced catching, the Quakers should be strong right up the middle. The team needs to think and anticipate what is going to happen without making stupid mistakes. Combine all these qualities along with consistency and the Quakers will have a triumpant season. Pitching should be a strong point this year with returning Intramural Team Tennis The first intramural sport is here - team tennis! In order to follow the intramural idea of "unit" competition, teams from each unit will compete for the champion ship. Rules for team tennis are simple. Each team consists of between seven and 10 people. This allows for three singles players, two doubles teams, and up to three alternates. A person cannot play both doubles and singles in the same match. The scoring is much like last year's. Each set will be a "pro set" in which a player must win at least eight games, with a winning margin of two games. A team's win/loss record will consist of won and lost sets of each match. (For example: Team A wins the three singles matches and loses the two doubles matches. Their win/loss record is 3-2.) The team with the best record at the end of the season will be the champions. Each unit may have as many teams as possible so hurry and sign your team up with your "unit representative." Matches will be played on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings for men and Wed nesday afternoon for women. starters Greg Gambrell, Jerry Broome and Brad Haines. In the relief department, Mark Cubberly, Rick Leßaube, Gary Leonard and Andy Howerton will take charge. Also, Rick Beemon, a transfer junior with two years college experience, Neil Kaplan, a transfer from Seton Hall, John Hodges, Joe Cornelious and Steve Williams will add new blood to the pitching staff. All three catchers from last years team, Reggie Teague, Jay Shoffner and Barry Bailiff, will return to secure the position behind the plate. Howe Howard, a good hitting freshman, will combine with the three veterans or possibly fill an outfield position. in the infield, Paul Halfman was lost to graduation leaving first base wide open for whoever hits, fields, and plays the most skillfully of John Barber, Pete Jacobs, (also a contender for left field) and Brian Williams. Second base will be filled by Brett Stell and Tommy Wesse. Mark Gunther, probably the best all-around player, will play shortstop along with Chris Langles. Gary Mathely Soccer Schedule Guilford College is playing its most ambitious soccer schedule ever with a slate of over 20 matches this season. Included on the schedule are three meetings with Atlantic Coast Conference teams. Guiford will host Duke Univerity and travels to both UNC and N.C. State. Other instate NCAA teams include an away match at Davidson and a home encounter with East Carolina. The Quakers will also take on East Carolina in the opening round of the Campbell College Invitational Tournament, and the winner of that game will face the Campbell College- Erskine College winner for the championship. Guilford College will again make a Northern tour, facing Howard University in Wash- DIANA ROSS IS BILLIE i HOUDA/ W LADY fIfcSNGS M THE BLUES Filmed in PANAVISOM" InCGlOf?

It is very important for the infield to develop a consistent double play to become sound defen sively. Overall, the outfield is in experienced, however, with some work, a rugged defensive outfield will develop. Strong hitting Pete Jacobs and Eddie Anderson are left fielders with Jeff Kurtz and Clem Bergen in center field. Mike Smith, Keith Greene, Steve Williams and Howe Howard will round out the outfield in right field. If the Quakers can overcome the loss of left fielder Bruce Baden, first baseman Paul Halfman, pitchers Chip Smith and Bobby Chamberlain, power hitter Gary Reynolds, second baseman Pella Stokes, shortstop Barry Hussey, and third baseman Charlie Kearns, the team will whip itself into potential championship ball clijb. With the talent that Coach Maynard has to work with, his positive and hopeful outlook for a victorious season undoubtedly will become reality. ington, D.C., and Upsala College, ending its tour with a match against the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.V. Two of the three key Carolinas Conference matches will be hosted by Guilford, with Pfeiffer and High Point playing the Quakers on their home field.
