Football
The magic number "2" ar
rived for the Quakers this past
Saturday's grid-iron grind
out. The Quakers edged out
nationally-ranked Towson
State University, by a slim
7-6 margin. Towson had a
much larger team, but Guil
ford did not quake with fear,
but instead took the fight to.
the Tigers.
The Tigers drew first
blood, early in the first quarter,
on a 14 yard pass play. The
extra point was missed, which
was like a kiss of death for
Towson, because the Quaker
defense shut them out the
remaining three quarters. The
Quakers' defense gave up a lot
of yards, but they were stingy
when it came to letting Tow
son score. The quakers stop
ped the Tigers twice inside the
Quakers' twenty yard-line, the
second time with just 0:31 left
in the game. The Quaker of
fense was not dormant by any
means; they had 305 yards
total for the day. The
Quakers lone touchdown
came as the result of a well
balanced offensive attack.
Quaker quarterback Johnny
Stewart mixed his plays well
to lead the Quakers dowr
to Towson's one yard line.
Volleyball
The Guilford College varsity
Women's volleyballteam had a
busy week as they played five
matches.
On Friday, September 30,
the Quakers faced UNC-
Chapel Hill's Tarheels in the
first home match of the week.
Carolina took the first game
15-3 against slow defense by
the Quakers. Game 2 was dif
ferent as an overconfident
tarheel team was taken for
seven consecutive points by
the excellent serving of senior
captain Debbie Tyson. The
Tarheels pulled themselves,
and their well-known powerful
offense together, and had
Guilford diving for well-placed
spikes. Guilford could not re
tain control of the serve and j
UNC took game 2, 15-7.
In the final game of the
match, Carolina took the floor,
confident but not cocky. A
tired Quaker team readied
themselves for game 3. Once
again Carolina's powerful of
fense proved relentless as the
Quakers spent more time
playing offensively then
setting up plays of their own.
This imbalance of offense took
its toll as the Tarheels won
15-6.
Several players felt that the
Carolina match was the
"best we've played yet" and
where Jeff "Boomer" Rodgers
ploughed his way into the
endzine. Jeff Barnes, with one
swoop of his foot, sealed
Towson's fate, as his extra
point kick split the uprights.
Johnny Stewart, in the dir
ection of the offense, had a
fine day, going 8-13-144 yards
passing, but the work horse
for the quakers was freshman
running back Chris Scissom.
He has 134 yards on 27 carries
for a 4.9 yard per carry aver
age.
Coach Forbes was pleased
but a bit reserved in his com
ments about the game. He felt
that the miscues his
charges made could have cost
them the game, but he quickly
ADDED THAT THEY
SHOWED "a lot of character
and poise." Coach Forbes felt
the offense showed good bal
ance and the defense did what
they had to do to stop the
Tigers. As with last week's
fame. Coach Forbes felt that
the best aspect of th win was
the confidence gained by his
players.
The Quakers have an open
date next Saturday, but play
Davidson College here on
October 15.
were "not disappointed" as
they "gave a good showing
against one of the east coast's
top teams."
On Tuesday, September 27,
the Quakers traveled to Elon
College to face two con
ference rivals, Elon and Pem
broke state University. Pem
broke was hungry for revenge
as Guilford had beaten them
twice during last year's finals
to win the State Champion
ship. A slow moving guilford
defense gave up both games,
15-4, 15-9 to give Pembroke
the match.
Guilford's record now
stands at 3-5 with two home
matches next week. On Tues
day, October 4, the Quakers
face NCCU in a rematch at
6:30, and on Thursday
October 6, will play High Point
and Catawba at 6:30 in the
gym. These are the last two
home volleyball matches this
year.

Win Some, Lose Some
The Guilford College Soccer
team brought its overall record
to 5-2-1 last week as they
beat UNC-G Wednesday and
lost to ECU Friday.
Wednesday's match against
UNC-G gave the Quaker
plenty of action before they
successfully routed the
Spartans, 5-0. Credited with
two goals was Bob Lloyd,
while Larry Davis, Mustapha
Faye and torn Boutin each
scored one. Thanks to the
excellent defensive
tactics of Brian Oswald, Don
Hamerick and Richard Wall,
UNC-G had only four shoot
ing opportunities. Goalie Bob
Sanguenetti earned his
second shut out of the year
as he deflected all four. Com
