The football team has been practicing hard since mid-August
Freshmen brighten outlook
When you lose 18 seniors
from your football team, it's
time to do some recruiting,
fast. If you're a big time coach
the job is fairly simple, you
recognize what you need, seek
out the high school stars to fill
those needs, offer the world,
and hand them the application.
If you're Charles Forbes, you
must spend long hours at the_
office and on the phone hoping
to draw some talent that was
either overlooked by the big
schools, wasn't overlooked but
wasn't interested, or simply
"Well, here we are un
beaten, untied, unscored on,
and going into our first game."
PAGE EIGHT
wasn't good enough Some
times your work pays off, and
sometimes it doesn't. It can be a
frustrating business.
Apparently the efforts of
Forbes and his staff have paid
off this time. 36 talented fresh
man make this "the best recrui
ting year in a long time."
Several of the newcomers could
gain starting roles this season.
Add 40 returning lettermen to
the freshmen and the potential
is real for a banner season.
Forbes views it all with a
cautious optimism; "With so
many young people we're going
to make young mistakes. We
expect that. The first few games
are pivotal because we need to
establish a winning attitude.
Hopefully, one of our strengths
will be a good senior leader
ship."
Preseason injuries have al
ready taken their toll, with the
offensive line being hardest hit.
Senior Dean Gravely is out for
the season following knee sur
gery, and Bill Branson, also a
senior, is questionable with a
badly injured ankle. Both Gra
vely and Branson were starting
offensive lineman. Numerous
shoulder injuries have also hurt
the squad.
With three weeks of practice,
including an Elon scrimmage
which Forbes labeled "very
positive," the Quakers open up
at home with Emory & Henry
this Saturday, Sept. 6, at 1:30 at
the Armstrong Athletic Center.
The team has yet to lose to E &
H under Forbes and that has
him a little worried; "The law of
averages has got to catch up
with you sometime. Because
we'vealways beaten them in the
past people naturally expect us
to beat them again. That's a
dangerous attitude. We can
beat any team on the schedule,
but we can also be beaten by
any team. Again, the first few
games are very important."
Last year's squad finished
with a disappointing 4-5 record
after jumping off to a 3-0 start.
"We started very strongly but
after a few losses, the team
really got down and we just
couldn't bring them out of it. As
coach, I have to accept respon
sibility for that and work hard to
avoid a similar letdown this
year." Look, for an improve
ment on last year's mark begin
ning with a win this Saturday.
