-- GUILFORDIAN, December 9, 1980 Page four Sports Quips By Mike Van Wagner Thanks largely to the efforts of Dr. Appenzeller, Guilford students can now attend away basketball games at High Point, Pfeiffer, Elon, Pembroke, and Wingate, free of charge with the presentation of a Guilford I D. The free admission is part of an effort to increase interest in conference ballgames. "We felt we needed to get some interest back in our league and one of the best ways to do that is to allow students free admission to away games", explained Appenzeller. So don't let an empty wallet stop you from attending Quaker road games, just remember the I D.

In the men's leagues the champions were: Flag foot ball-NADS, soccer-GEORG WHITE-DAYS HOPS, Tennis- GVPSIES. fn the women's league Binford II won the flag football title. Volleyball champs will be crowned this week. Since I was three for four on my baseball predictions, I feel somewhat justified in tryng my luck once again. Here they are: DALLAS to win the Super Bowl; PHILADELPHIA to win the NBA title; PHILADELPHIA to win the Stanley Cup in hockey; NOTRE DAME over GEORGIA in the Sugar Bowl; and in college basketball, RUTGERS to give CAROLINA a scare before bowing to the Tar Heels in their game at Charlotte on December 22nd As much as I hate to pick Dalls to win anything, the Cowboys just look too tough. Both the Sixers and the Flyers are on top of their divisions and should add to Philadelphia's growing list of titles. Despite the picks, I'm not really a Philly fan but this just seems to be the year for the City of Brotherly Love. Notre Dame's experience in post season play makes them a slight favorite. And finally, the Scarlet Knights may be as strong, or stronger than the team that lost in the Eastern Regionals here two years ago. Have a safe, exciting, amaz ing, joyous, wonderful holiday.
