By STEVE LINDSAY
A young girl sat herself in
the stands prepared to begin
a fresh season of Guilford
College football. She was
much too young to understand
the intricacies of the sport
being presented before her.
She was not a rookie, though,
for she had attended every
home game the season before.
In most of those games she
had whined and cried as a
partial result of the somewhat
noninspiring Quaker squad.
Well, along with a new
season come new expectations
and along with new expecta
tions loom dreadful memories
of a sputtering offense and a
sporadic defense. Would the
Quakers sputter once again?
Tennis to Be Included
Will all those people who
have complained to the Intra
mural Committee about the
lack of an individual tennis
tournament please be silenced!
There is now a Tennis Ladder
Tournament (officially termed
a Challenge Tournament).
The tournaments, men's and
women's, are open to all
elligible students, faculty,
and staff, but you have to sign
up for it at the information
desk or with Mrs. Clark in the
gym. Challenging can begin
on September 25 and entries
to the ladder will end October
31.
In a ladder tournament,
people are initially ranked bV-a
draw. Then a player may
begin challenging in order to
work his or her way up the

A Touch of Class
Bluefield State took the open
ing kickoff which was followed
by a rather poor first quarter.
The temperature was in the
mid-nineties, a trickle of sweat
fell from the girls forehead.
Once again she proceeded to
whine and cry as if the last
season had never ended. The
crowd was in complete
sympathy with her for they too
wondered if another so-so
season was at hand.
Someone once said that the
best surprises come at un
expected times, and so it was
at the close of the first quarter.
As if by magic, a hole opened
in the left side of the line.
Fullback Gary Merrill, pigskin
in hand, blasted through and
sprinted 50 yards for the
in Intramurals
ladder. A person may chal
lenge anyone within three
places above him or her on the
ladder. If the person lower
on the ladder wins, then the
two players exchange rank
ings, otherwise the rankings
remain. A challenge match
has to be played before either
player may give or accept
another challenge.
The only way to be on top
when the tournament ends on
November 30 is to sign up
now. More information will
be given to those people who
enter. Even if you think you
can't win, remember that the
best way to improve your
game is by playing people
better than you are. Also
remember the old saying "You
never know till you try."
The Guilfordian
first Guilford score. To say
that excitement ensued would
be a drastic understatement.
The crowd went wild.
By halftime all doubts as to
the Quakers potential were put
to rest. The second quarter
found Bluefield bombarded
by four more touchdowns,
receiver Mike Craft doing the
majority of the damage, scoring
twice. 35-0 sounds like a final
score but this game was only
at the halfway mark. Guilford
was still destined to score two
more times before the final
gun. Manny Fernandez romped
seventeen yards on a quarter
back keeper for the first score
and followed up by lofting a
thirty-four yard touchdown
pass, putting the finishing
touches on a 49-10 victory.
With 491 yards total offense,
what more could the Quakers
wish for. The defense looked
fantastic allowing a mere 49
yards to Bluefield on the
ground. In one column
though, the Quakers took a
tremendous punishment. 102
yards was awarded them for
penalties. This will definately
be an area of concentration by
the coaches in preparation for
next weeks confrontation with
Presbyterian.
In the post-game pande
monium a small girl raced
about in search of her brother,
a Guilford player. When she
found him he hoisted her to
his shoulders where she posed
like a queen. There were no
tears and there was no whining.
Instead there was a great big
smile, a simple touch of class.
