Quakers End Skid, Look to Execute Consistently

The men's basketball team broke a three
game losing streak when they defeated
cross- town rival Greensboro College, 87-
77, on Thursday.
The victory followed two Quaker losses
earlier in the week, one
Macon, 85-54, on January 12 and the
other to Ferrum on Monday by the score
of 93-87. The Quakers are now 4-9.
After the Greensboro game, coach Jack
Jensen looked relieved.
"I'm glad we got this win," he said. "It
was just what we needed. The team played
hard for forty minutes."
Guilford opened a six teen-point lead
early in the first half and then held on in
the second half as the Hornets closed the
gap to one, 59-58, with seven minutes to
play. A three-point shot by freshman
Andre Ricketts opened the Quaker lead to
64-58 as the Quakers never looked back.
Although the win improved his mood,
Jensen was not pleased with the actions
that occurred in Virginia earlier in the
week.

Good Music Required

Did you ever consider that by par
ticipating in a music concert, you were
engaging yourself in an athletic activ
ity?
Think about it—even though that
may not be your main objective, you
are doing your body a lot of good
(beforeyou pollute it with intoxicants)
by being an active crowd member.
The first signs of actual (gasp) exer
cise appear when you make your way
to the concert Even though Guilford
holds concerts on campus, atleastsome
walking is required to get to the actual
site.
This is a good warm-up activity. It
loosens up the legs, pumps the heart
faster, and introduces the lungs to a
healthierresponsibilitythan usual (for
thoseof you who can't do withoutyour
daily pack of Winstons). Now you are
ready for more strenuous ventures;
Rather than doing several mindless
repetitions of 12-oonce cuds, let some
of your social reservations go and...

defensive game proved too much for
Guilford.
"When you don't play well and the other
team plays well you are going to lose,"
Jensen said. "We had poor shooting, poor
defense, and poor offensive execution by
our team. Randolph-Macon is 10-1, de
fending ODAC champions, has three good
seniors, and they were playing at home. We
rhythm of the music, allowing your
possibly uncoordinated body to flail in
front of people that you know. At the
same time you will be keeping fit and
burning off unwanted calories.
Be sure to take rest breaks in between
really up-beat songs. Have a seat on the
brickwork if you are in the Quad, or pull
up a folding chair if you are in
Stemberger, or a plot of grass (crab
grass, that is) on the hill between Bryan
andMilner.
For refreshment purposes, bring your
own "Juicy Juice" to the dance. It has
100 percent fruit juices and you need
that Vitamin C, because conceits can
take a lot of energy out of you—and
those energy crystals won't suffice—
you need to replace lost energy with
minerals that your body vitally needs.
Dole bananas in your concert diet will
do wonders.
After the concert, cool down with a
walk back to your residence hall and get
a good night's sleep—between seven
and nine hours will do.
Make the most of the exercise oppor
tunities that you have right beneath your
nose—at a Guilford concert
didn't play good basketball."
Against Ferrum, Guilford fell behind
early and found themselves trailing 80-54
with twelve minutes remaining. Although
the Quakers rallied late in the game, they
never took the lead.
'The Ferrum game was a typical case of
too litde, too late," Jensen said

Though the team won Thursday, Jensen
has been worried about his team's play this

We need to execute regularly."
