Quaker goals look promising for the season
Guilford College sports new briefs
Baseball blues
By Chris Mackie
The Guilford College baseball
team opened its fall schedule
with a disappointing 8-3 loss to
High Point College last Friday.
Eight errors tarnished an
otherwise sound Quaker per
formance. Vic Fucci led
Guilford's hitting attack with 3
singles in 4 trips to the plate.
Todd Roberts was also im
pressive at the bat contributing a
single, a double, and 2 r.b.i.'s.
From the mound Quaker pit
ching was strong, allowing only 4
earned runs. Dan Madden,
Shannon Wall, and Jan
Richardson each turned en
couraging performances which
pleased coach Stuart Maynard.
"We had good pitching today,"
noted Maynard, "but we need to
work on keeping their lead-off
hitter off of the bases." Senior
Centerfielder Kelly Jenkins felt
the team needed "to be more
mentally prepared the next time
out."
The Quakers will try to im
prove their weaknesses before
Friday Sept. 18 when they travel
to Chapel Hill to face the
University of North Carolina in a
doubleheader.
Lacrosse news
Guilford College has at last
established a women's Lacrosse
team. The team expects to play
five to six games against such
teams as Charlottesville, UNC-
Chapel Hill and Duke. The team
currently holds their practices
every Sunday.
Last year's team, formed by
Donna Becker and Kathy Chang,
consisted of 24 women. Only three
of last years team members had
had any lacrosse experience.
This year's freshmen class has
added five more experienced
players to the team. Coach Peter
Reichard feels that the team's en
thusiasm and talent will lead
them to a winning season.
The tryouts for the All-Star
team to represent North Carolina
in the Southern District Lacrosse
Tournament are going to be held
here at Guilford College. One
team will be selected to play
from all the women who tryout.
This one team will play against
D.C., Virginia, Maryland, and
Western Pennsylvania All-Star
District teams.
In sponsoring this event, the
womens' team must pay all cost
for fields and referees. Be on the
look-out for some interesting fund
raisers.

Guilford College has a new
chairman of the Department of
Physical Education, Dr. Jerald
D. (Jerry) Hawkins. Hawkins
will be introducing innovative ex
pansions in the current Physical
Education program. Such areas
as Sports Management and
Sports Medicine (athletic train
ing and exercise science) could
be studied, thus creating "a uni
que and one of the most pro
gressive" undergraduate pro
grams in the nation.
Dr. Hawkins said,
"Traditionally, Guilford has had
a strong physical education pro
gram, the strength of which has
been the preparation of physical
education teachers and coaches.
Now we want to develop a com
prehensive curriculum which will
attract the academically strong
student and allow him or her to
acquire both a high quality

Sockwell, expressed his satisfac

show we could score. Our team
has always had trouble scoring;
hopefully this game boosted the
team's image of itself."
The scorer's of Saturday's

which will make Guilford College
physical education a dynamic ex

His first goal is to contribute to
the continued growth of
Guilford's strong athletic train
ing program, currently under the
leadership of Mary Bross, head
trainer. Other developments will
include a well-equipped human
performance laboratory which
will serve as the center for com
prehensive sports medicine at
Guilford. This includes athletic
training, sports medicine educa
tion and research, and a cam
pus/community health fitness
program.
Dr. Hawkins urges people on
campus who are interested to see
advisors in the department and
find out more about the new cur
riculum that will be offered.
Dr. Hawkins is a native of Jef

Hood also contributed to the
Quaker's win with outstanding
play.
Sockwell feels this year's team
has many possibilities. We're a
young team possessing only three
seniors, however, there is much
individual talent. One of our pro
blems is a lack of enthusiasm
among the players before the
game. Hopefully, this victory will

Sockwell also feels that the team
needs to stay healthy in order to
be competitive. "We've already
had three major injuries, causing
us to lose one player." Mike
Chailco was lost for the season
with torn cartilage.
Guilford's next game will be
away this Wednesday at UNC-G,
followed by a Saturday home
game against Elon.
