January 30,1979 * kF*- wm&m ?&' No Devlin, no poise, notvin By DAN FA YEN The Carolina Conference number one ranked Pfeiffer College, dis played blistering hot shooting and an almost impenetrable defense as they downed the Quakers Wed nesday, January 24th. Perhaps the final score of 73-48 is indicative of their accomplished play. Pfeiffer intermittently switched from zone to man-to-man defense effectively portraying why the Falcons are considered the best defensive team in the Conference. Pfeiffer brought an unblemished record of five wins and no losses into the contest and once again played with poise. Guilford was crippled with nine turnovers in the first half as compared with Pfeiffer's meager two. Despite their tremendous play, Intramural action By VAN MASSEY Campus intramurals for the second semester are ready to begin. The first activity to be offered is probably the biggest intramural sport, basketball. Many people erf all different levels of skill have traditionally made the basketball season one of the most fun and exciting. Team entry sheets have already been submitted so, for students who haven't signed up and have athletic interests, the intramural council the Falcons possessed only a slight 27-18 half time lead. After intermission the Falcons came on the court blazing, hitting eleven of twelve field goal attempts. Reserve Guard Kim Bryant, opened up the second half with a twelve foot jump shot for Pfeiffer. Guilford's 6'B" center Greg Hopson, the Quaker's leading scorer with 14, retaliated with an impres sive bank shot. Hopson was a major factor in the lone Quaker domination of the ball game, rebounds. The Falcons lost out in this category 3318. Guard Mike Epps, an All- American NAIA selection tallied on a high arched fifteen foot jumper setting the score at 35-27 in favor of Pfeiffer.

Guilfordian SPORTS Quaker win spark ignited By WILLIAM LANDIS Last Saturday night, the Guilford College Quaker Men's Basketball team showed some renewed inspira tion and perhaps even a tinge of professionalism in outscoring the Elon Christians 85-78. The team enlightenment was brought about by the return of sharp shooter Gary Devlin who had not played with the team for several weeks. Devlin has been out of the line up due to a below capacity grade point average. In order for a player to participate in collegiate athletics, he must pass a total of twelve credit hours of academic study. Athletes must be careful for if they drop a course so as to lighten their load during season, failure to pass any remaining course will cious man-to-man defense in which Bryant snatched the ball away from a Quaker Guard feeding it to Epps for an easy two with lf>: 34 remain ing to play. On the very next Quaker possession the ball was stolen again and this time Bryant stuffed it home. Coach Jensen erf Guilford called a TEST YOUR (Economics Quotient) True Fake □ □ (1.)

Not to be undone though, he regained his eligibility by completing a mini semester at Elon College. Somewhere in this mess there is a touch of irony. Devlin ammased a total of 24 points against the very school who helped him to regain his collegiate eligibility. The Quakers found life in their previously dead foul shooting to solidify their victory. They made eight of nine from the charity line in the last 51 seconds, and twenty three of twenty five overall. Pre viously the team had been shooting a low 65%. In the rebounding department, the Quakers dominated the boards Quaker time out to regroup. Despite his words of wisdom, Pfeiffer coasted to a 7 3-48 victory with the Quakers never able to close within twenty points. Postell Seymore put forth an admirable effort in the losing cause netting fourteen points for the night. page eleven with a total of 32 recoveries as compared to the Christian's 19- Elon has had tremendous problems at home. In fact, they nave yet to win a ball game on their floorboards. A team unity problem in the final minutes of play helped Guilford to ice the victory. Players on the Elon team resorted unsuccessfully to individual one on one play which seemed to be in variance with the usual "play as a team" motto. They said tuberculosis was hopeless. They said polio was hopeless. They said smallpox was hopeless. Cancer is only a disease. Even when most people considered the struggle against polio hopeless, the people who worked in medical research believed they would someday find the answer. The same was true for tuberculosis. And for smallpox. The same is true for cancer now. We know because we hear from people doing medical research in laboratories all over the country. They talk to us because they all need support. They are all excited because they all think they're on the right track, And that the work they're doing will unlock a secret and lead to a solution for cancer. And you know what? At least one of them is right. But which one? We must support them all. American Cancer I Society f We want to cure cancer in your lifetime.
