Quaker VolleyballSquad Selected
Returning to lead the
Quakers this year is veteran
senior Debbie Tyson. Last
season, the 5'6" senior was an
all conference and an all-state
selection. Bringing power
and experience to the offense
are spikers Donna Rogers, a
6'o" senior, and Wanda
Robbins Barker, a 5'9" junior.
Both Rogers and Barker were
also all-state selections last
year.
Returning from last year's
State Championship team
are juniors Salty Busken and
Betsey Mackensie; and
sophomores Suzanne
Childress, Emorie Colby,
Jennie Davis and Nancy Smith.
Expected to bring added power
to the Quaker offense this
year is 5'11" freshman Lynn
Zahurak from Kingsville, Md.
As she gains experience, great
strength is expected from
Zahurak in spiking and
blocking. Also adding offen
sive power this year will be 5'9"
freshman Mary Thompson
from Southern Pines, N.C.
For the first time, the
women's team will enjoy
considerable depth with
freshman Meg Leonard,
Anne Kaylon, Peg Schaefer
and 6'o" sophomore Annette
Chilton rounding out the
squad.
A Football in the Mouth
BY DAVID BELL
The Quaker football season
is young, and has signs of
being a good one, but there
are a few rough spots.
The first two games were
tough losses. However, there
were a few bright spots.
In the season opener
against Concord College,
the Quakers ran into a buzzsaw
by the name of Lipscomb.
Lipscomb ran over, around
through the Quaker defense.
He led the scoring also with
two touchdowns in the first
half and one in the second.
The Quakers had a few
bright spots, the most out
standing being the Quaker's
touchdown drive. It was a
well-bxecuted drive of 55
yards.
The combination of quarter
back Johnny Stewart's passing
and freshman halfback Chris
Scissom's running showed
that Guilford does have a
potent offense. It only
needed to be unleashed.
The defense had its problems
but Mike Ketchum, a senior
middle guard, was a diamond
in the rough. He was always
around the ball making numer
ous assists and tackles. The
The Quaker squad was not
hit hard by graduation,
losing only one player, so with
the addition of these tall and
talented newcomers, the
Quakers seem to be even
stronger than last year's State
Championship team.
Guilford has changed
divisions within the NCAIAW
and will play in Division 11,
the much tougher small college
division. Should the
women capture their third
consecutive state champion
ship they will qualify for regional
competition for the first time
in Quaker volleyball history.
The regional competition for
1977 will be held at James
Madison University in Harrison
burg, Va. Besides the tougher
competition, the Quakers will
have to contend with many
new rule changes, as this
year collegiate volleyball
adopts international rules.
Guilford opens its 1977
season on September 22 at
North Carolina Central
University in Durham at
7:00 p.m. On Friday, Septem
ber 23, at 5:00 p.m., the
Quakers will host N.C. State
University in what is expected
to be a very exciting match.
The Quakers play only four
home matches this year, so be
sure not to miss one!
final score however was 34-7
Concord.
The second game was to be
redemption day. However, it
did not materialize. The
Quakers suffered a 27-6 set
back at the hands of Hampton-
Sydney College at Hampton-
Sydney. The Tigers were
virtually a one man show in
the first half. R. Ferguson,
H.S. ace running back, kicked
a 24-yard field goal, a 44-yard
field goal, ran for a touchdown,
and kicked the extra point. The
Quaker could not mount an
offensive drive in the first half.
In the second half, the
Quaker offense showed some
spark behind the hardnosed
running of junior runningback
Greg Small. Small gained a 110
yard for the day. The Quakers
scored their only touchdown
on a pass from Johnny
Steward to Mike Kraft,
However Coach Charles Forbes
felt that his defensive unit
gave the best effort of the day.
He felt that the score did not
indicate how well the defense
played. The Quakers hope for
next week's game against
Presbyterian College to have
all the bugs out.
The Guilfordian
Maybe Charles Forbes is
"mistic." In talking aobut
prospects for the 1977 Quaker
football season, the head
coach said he doesn't want to
sound too optimistic, and
certainly not too pessimistic.
No "opti" and no "pessi"
leaves "mistic." Right?
"The schedule is extremely
tough, a lot tougher than
people will realize when they
don't see the Lenoir-Rhynes
and the Elons on it," Forbes
declared, "but of the 10 teams
we'll be facing, only three
had losing season last year."
Concord College in Athens,
W.Va., Guilford's opening
opponent September 3, was
ranked in the NAIA Division
2.
In the NCAA Division 3,
Towson State of Baltimore
ended last season ranked
second in the nation;
Hampden-Sydeny of Hampden,
Va. # was ranked among the
top; and James Madison
University of Lexington, Va.,
was ranked first through the
initial eight weeks of the
season.
Randolph-Macon of
Ashland, Va., came on
strong at the end of the
season, knocking off both

Forbes also pointed out
that Catawba was ranked 15th
in the nation by the NAIA
when Guilford beat the Indians
last year.
Coach Forbes can cite 32
reasons why he is not pessi
mistic, two reasons why he is
not optimistic.

Kenan of Rose Hill, N.C., and
Bunky James of Wilson, N.C.,
Bunky has completed his
eligibility and Reggie, who
graduated in May, will enter
law school this fall.
Top candidate for Reggie's
tailback spot is expected to
be Greg Small, a junior from
Lexington, N.C. As a part
time starter in the fullback
position last season, Greg
gained 150 yards in five
games. His competition will
come from Jimmy Lee, a
sophomore from Chilhowie,
Va.
Fullback duties will be
shared by Gary Merrill of
Graham, N.C., and Danny
Kissam of Tabor City, N.C.
Quarterbacking will be
handled by Johnny Stewart
of High Point, the starter.

Last season, Avery Cutshaw
caught 20 passes good for
240 yards, causing Coach
Forbes to look to the Thomas
ville, N.C., junior to give
leadership to the receiving
corps this year. Also contend
ing for starting positions as
receivers will be Mike Craft,
a sophomore from Lake
Waccamaw, N.C., and Brad
Haines, a junior from Morgan
town, W.Va. High Point
junior, Dale Lee, will start
at tight end.
Coach Forbes looks upon
the offensive line as one of
the team's strong points, led
by two juniors from Wilmington
N.C., David Cubbage and
Chip Herring.
A key to success will be
"how will our linebackers
come along," according to
Forbes. The answers appar
ently will lie in the performances
of junior transfer Roosevelt
Moody of Mt. Dora, Fla.,
junior Ira Johnson of Pamlico,
N.C., and sophomore Morris
McCarther of Mount Airy,
N.C.
Coach Forbes encourages
all students to support the
Quakers at their home games.
