Quakers quash feeble foes
By Stephen Hunter
The Guilford College Quakers
started off what promises to be
a great season with two wins.
The first game of the Guilford
College Football season pitted
the Quakers against Bluefield
State of West Virginia. There
was an air of anticipation sur
rounding the game partly be
cause of its three hour delay,
but mainly because everyone
was anxious to see how the new
Quakers would look.
As it turned out, there was no
stopping the Quakers, led by
Manny Fernandez; the partisn
Quaker fans found the game
well worth the wait.
In the first quarter the Quak
ers took the opening kick-off
and marched 80 yards for the
first touchdown of the day.
Bluefield, in hopes of surprising
the Quakers, started the game
in a sporadic 4-4 defense.

Intramurals for 1978-1979
have begun and the year al
ready looks exciting. The big
questions still remain: 'Who
will be the overall champs?' and
'Will Shore and Milner First
South defend their titles?"
New this year are flag football
and women's soccer, which are
both sure to be challenging.
According to Mrs. Clark, direc
tor of Intramurals, the fall
season has had the greatest
number of individuals to sign up
in Cuilford history.
Nevertheless, don't worry if
you missed registration; sign
ups continue up until 24 hours
before a scheduled event. For
feits will be declared ten mi
nutes after a scheduled time
unless notified 24 hours in
advance.
To sign up or to reschedule a
game because of a conflict in
game time, contact Mrs. Clark
(ext. 160) in the gym. Please see
posted schedules, contact your
unit representative, or read the
Guilfordian for a weekly update
of schedules.
While the Guilford coaches
were busy deciphering Blue
field's defense, Fernandez was
busy directing an almost flaw
less assualt upon it. The drive
ended with Fernandez running
for nine yards for the T.D.
Kicking specialist Marty

Block provided the extra point.
In the second quarter the Qua
kers drove almost the length of
the field only to be stopped by
penalties. Marty Block's 23
yard field goal capped the drive.

Randolph - Macon 3.
The second half was marked
by a great attempt by Randolph-
Macon to come back. With the
score 26-24 in favor of Guilford,
the Quaker defense, led by
Quinton Hanson (20 tackles),
stopped what was to be the
Yellow-Jackets final scoring
threat. With the outcome of the
game uncertain, Fernandez
again went into his bag of
tricks. This time he hit the
lightning quick Bryant, (recep
tions for 80 yards), for a 37 yard
touchdown, thus putting the
game out of reach. The final
score: Guilford 33 - Radolph-
Macon 24.
