Guilford College's head coach Jack Jenson speaks words of wisdom to
his Quakers.
Will streak continue?
Linkmen take to the greens
The Guilford Quaker Golf
team is hoping to reproduce last
year's undefeated record in which
they went 11-0 during their 1979
spring season.
The 1979 team is comprised of
one freshman, six sophomores, and
four juniors. They have lost only
two members from last year, Mark
Cox and Walter Elmore, transfered.
The team has gained a new member,
Robbie Phillips, whom coach Jack
Jensen has high hopes for.
The squads talent is exempli
fied by their excellent tournament
and regular season play. Some of
their better finishes are: third N.C.
Intercollegiate, third Carolina's
Conference Championship, and
fourth District 26 playoffs, all in the
spring of '77.
In the Fall of '7B they came in
second in the Elon College Invita
tional, third at the Atlantic Christ

to pull within fire with 1:26 left

The Quakers free-throw success
was restored, enabling them to easily

several surprises have come about.
The Friend's league is unexpectedly
led by George White and the
Committee Meeting (Faculty/Staff).

as of Saturday Feb. 10.
The Quaker league has Milner
IN 11, Milner ISA, and Milner

League has the Dekes (Milner 3S)
and the Sunshine Slammers (Day
Hops) in the lead. All these teams
have records of 2-0.
The women's league is more
balanced from top to bottom.
However, there are still three unde
feated teams. Binford II and Bryan
are at 2-0 and Shore is 1-0.

Quaker Coach Jack Jensen
called a timeout with 15:17 remain
ing the game. Guilford then came
out to rally for nine unanswered
points. A 1 King, Greg Hopson
and Gary Devlin led a Guilford
fast break scoring spree, out
scoring Liberty Baptist 21-6 in the
next six minutes of play.
Gary Devlin, although cold in
the first half, came alive for the
second half scoring fourteen points.
The Guilford fans were going
wild in the Crackerbox, as the
Quaker built a thirteen point lead,
when Liberty Baptist called a time
out to regather their poise with
9:24 remaining. The Quakers
never let them blaze back in the
game as they cruised to a 94-85
victory.
Highlighting the Blaze for the
second half was, lightning quick,

total twenty-nine points in the
second half.

One game stands out as the bigg
est thriller so far. On Monday,
February 5, The Spies played Bryan
2B starting at 11:00 p.m. The
Spies built up a 12 point lead in
a hard fought game. However, near
the end, Bryan cut the lead down.
With three seconds left in the
game, it was the Spies winning by
2 points and Bryan 2B's ball out of
bounds under the Spies basket. The
ball was passed in to Charles
Helsabeck who was still 10 feet
behind half court. With one second
left he threw the ball towards the
basket and banked it in to send the
game into overtime.
At the end of overtime, Bryan 2B
came out with a one point decision,
49-48.
