The outlook improved in game 2 as a strategic maneuver removed the block. Intelligent offense by freshman Lynn Zahurak plus consistent serv ing by sophomore Jennie Davis, along with overall improved defense made the difference here, as Guilford won game 2,15-10.

A strong comeback bid by Central forced Coach Currie to return her starters to the game which Guilford won 15-9. On Friday September 23, the Lady Quakers faced a much ahrder task as they met Western Carolina Univ ersity and North Carolina State in a tri-match. Guilford faced Western Carolina's Catamounts in the opening match. Game 1 was close with several long rallies. Western Carolina rose to the occasion, and Guilford succombed 15-13. Game 2 was not fiercely contended as inability to keep the service caused the second loss, this time 15-10. Match 2 paired N.C. State and Western Carolina.

Don't miss it! All in the Family Last Wednesday's soccer clash between Guilford and Duke University on the Quakers' home field seemed like a family reunion for Brian and Brent Oswald. While Brian, a fullback for Guilford, and Brent, a senior wing for Duke, were not lined up across from each other, they did play against each other as the game progressed. Family ties did not restrict the aggressive play of either. "I'm looking forward to playing duke," commented Brian before the game. Brian a sophomore from Abington, Pa., continued, "but I don't have any feeling about playing against my brother. Once the game starts, he's just another player." "We have talked about last year's game (won by Guilford 3-2), but we don't dwell on it. I think he has a lot of respect for our team, and we certainly respect Duke. He is captain of the team this year, and I think he is expecting to have a good team." SraAV^ bernJaewer Auditpriunrv, J 354 815 m The Guilf ordian Soccer Season Unfolds With three wins, one loss, and one tie to their credit, the Guilford College soccer team has gotten off to a very strong and impressive start this season. Two weeks ago, the Quakers defeated East Carolina by a 4-1 margin in a highly aggressive match, during the first round of the Campbell College Soccer Tournament, played in Betews Creek, N.C. The second round battle between Guilford and Erskin College saw plenty of action before the Quakers fell, 3-1, to the strong and nationally ranked Erskine. Bob Propster and Bob Lloyd, the leading scorers for the Guilford College team, were named to the 11-man All-Tournament team in that tournament. Propster, who has six goals and three assists in six games for the Quakers, scored two goals in the first round match over ECU, and got the Quaker's only goal in the loss to Erskine in the finals. Lloyd, a sophomore from Trenton, N.J., had an un assisted goal against the Eat Carolina Pirates and was out standing in both tournament games. For the season, Lloyd has five goals and three assists. Propster, a junior from Chapel Hill, and Lloyd, were both named to the All-Carolinas Conference and All-NAIA District 26 teams lat year, and were the Quakers' leading scorers with 29 and 16 goals, respectively, in the 17-4 season. "We are pleased with the W I, wl M Wis "Wo thanks, Tdratßer Have an apple progress we have made so far," commented Quaker coach Ray Alley. "We are dis appointed with the loss to Erskine, but they have a very strong team, which is indicated by a narrow loss to Clemson last year. Actually, our game with Erskine was closer than the score indicated. They had a 3-0 advantage at halftime and the third goal came on an indirect free kick with only four seconds left in the half. I felt we outplayed them in the second half, and that type of effort continued in our game Sunday against Davidson. Against Duke University, the Quakers faced the strong challenge of a Blue Devil team that remembered the 3-2 overtime loss to Guilford a year ago. Last Wednesday, in the hard fought match against Duke, the Quakers tied 378-3592 SECURITY BHSER. K/OM&ER. HOUK> WANTED Live-in student to babysit for young family in exchange for room & board.
