Quakers Down Teachers
In Winning Season's First
FOX QUAKER STAR
Home-Coming Crowd of Stu
dents and Alumni Here for
Last Home Game.
LOCALS SCORE WIN BY 18-6
Outplay Catamounts in Every Depart
ment to Pile Up Twelve-
Point Margin.
Before a large and jubilant home
coming crowd of alumni and students,
the Guilford College gridiron eleven ran
roughshod over a valiant and scrappy
Western Carolina Teacher squad to win,
18 to 6. This was the first win of the
Quakers to date and showed the sterling
performance they are capable of deliver
ing when clashing with a team some
where within their weight class.
The Quakers held the upper hand
throughout the entire battle, rolling up
15 first downs to the visitors' 7, gaining
a total of 347 yards to 122, and com
pletely outclassing the Catamounts in
the running and passing ends of the
game. The locals amassed 228 yards on
the ground to their opponents' 69, and
gained 119 yards via the aerial route to
the Teachers' 53.
First Quarter
Guilford elected to receive the kick
off, and after running several ground
j)lays, punted to midfield. The Cata
mounts attempted to gain through the
line play. Several plays later, Acree
faded back and tossed a pass which
Shackner, Teacher quarterback, inter
cepted and toted down the sideline to
ring up the first score of the game.
Sutton's attempted place-kick was short.
The quarter ended with Guilford in
possession of the ball deep in Teacher
territory.
Second Quarter
On the second play of the quarter,
Fox reversed and lateralled to Leonard,
■who scooted around left end for 12
yards and a six-pointer. Acree's at
tempt for conversion failed. Six plays
later Fox intercepted a Catamount f>ass
and raced 18 yards for the second
Quaker touchdown. Fox fumbled the
hall on the try for extra point and the
score remained 12 to 6.
Third Quarter
Neither team threatened in the third
period and the game quickly developed
into a punting duel between Fox and
Shachner. Woolley, who went in as
substitute end, stood out on the defen
sive with his spectacular tackling and
breaking up of Teacher ground plays.
As the period ended, Acree heaved a
beautiful pass to Bowers, who was
downed deep in Teacher territory.
Fourth Quarter
The Cats succeeded in stopping the
Quaker march which bogged down on
the 20-yard line, and after gaining pos
session of the pigskin they threw a long
pass which Carroll intercepted and re
turned to the 13. Again the Quakers
had a golden opportunity to score, but
Acree fumbled and the Teachers recov
ered. In the closing minutes, the Quak
ers started another goal-line march and
a pass from Fox to McCommons brought
the third score. The final whistle blew
as the Quakers missed their extra-point
attempt.
Cliff Fox stood out in the Quaker
liackfield with his running, kicking, and
passing, while Shachner played the
stellar role for the Cats. Leonard got
really loose and displayed a fast and
shifty performance in returning punts
and in carrying the ball from scrim
mage. Woolley, Davis and Carroll
shone on the defense, while Tilson's
tackling in backing up the line de
iserves laurels in the secondary.
Harriers to Meet
Carolina Reserves
An informal announcement has
been made to the effect that the col
lege athletic committee is definitely
giving thought to the awarding of
track letters to the first five men on
the Quaker cross-country team. The
faculty members of the committee
are in favor of the move, as are the
student representatives to the body.
The cross-country team is planning
to participate in the Southern Con
ference cross-country championships
at Carolina next Saturday, and they
are scheduled to meet the Chapel Hill
reserves again, to whom they dropped
an earlier meet by one point.

Quakers Took Four Out of Four

BEAT CATAWBA TO WIN
Seven years have elapsed since Guil
ford last put a Little Six championship
football team on the gridiron. In 1928,
the Quakers marched through an eight
game season to ring up five victories
against three defeats. The team was
captained by Hoyle and coached by
Norman Shepard, brother of our own
P. Carlyle Shepard. Shepard is now
head coach of football at Randolpli-
Macon College in Virginia, where he
went directly upon leaving Guilford.
The Quakers of that year started the
season with dull prospects, since every
backficld regular had been lost through
graduation. The first game of the sea
son was with Davidson, and the reserve
strength of the Presbyterian school pre
vailed as they defeated the Quakers, 27
to 0. On September 20 the Quakers
met and defeated the Campbell College
eleven, 19 to 0; the heavy Guilford line
kept the Campbell backs under cover
all afternoon and prevented any scor
ing threats. On October 6 the Quakers
| went down in defeat to Roanoke College.
I who, that year, sported one of Virginia's
| strongest teams which shone with a bril
! liant passing game. On October 20 the
I Guilford squad dropped a surprise game
ito the Lynchburg Hornets, 12 to 6, in a
game which found the Hornets in a
complete second-half reversal of form.
One week later the Quakers invaded
; Elon and trounced the Christians, 7 to
0; the score is no indication of the
game, however, since the Quakers com
pletely outplayed the Elonites and
failed to score several times only by
the slightest margin.
From this point the Quakers went
| forward to crush Atlantic Christian and
I Lenoir-Rhyne on successive Saturdays
jby substantial scores. The final game

CLUB HOLDS FIRST
ATHLETIC BANQUET
Famous Sports Alumni Among
Group Meeting at Jeffer

RICK FERRELL A SPEAKER
Organization Founded With Intent to
Promote Bigger and Better Ath
letics at Guilford College.
The first meeting of the newly organ
ized Crimson and Gray Club was held
Saturday evening, November 9, at the
Jefferson Club. Some 50 former letter
men of Guilford College were present
and enjoyed the evening, which was
greatly enhanced by a sumptuous turkey
dinner.
After the meal a general discussion of
Guilford College athletics was opened.
Such eminent alumni as Rick Ferrell,
"Chick" Doak, Bob Doak, "Chunk" War
rick, "Shirt" Smith, Bob Jamieson, Earl
Cummings, Mears English, Reverend
Pcele, Jesse Turner, John Burgwyn, J.
P. Anderson, F. C. Shepard, J. G. Fra
zier, "Hop" Ragan, Jimmy Bunn, Luke
Copeland, and A. I. Newlin expressed
their various opinions and viewpoints
on the athletic situation at the Quaker
institution. Many proposals were put
forward in answer to the question,
"What shall be done about existing con
ditions?"
Tt was definitely proposed and ac
cepted that the aim of this group be to
promote better athletics at Guilford,
after which a decision was tendered
concerning acting officers of the organ
ization. It was decided that the presi
dent of the Monogram Club, Fred New
man, and the secretary, Claude Ilepler,
shall also perform in these respective
capacities in the Crimson and Gray
Club.
The next meeting of the organization
will take place late in the spring, and
it is hoped that this will be a bigger
and better meeting to promote bigger
and better athletics at Guilford. It is
hoped that this organization will suc
ceed in its efforts and that the enthusi
asm shown at the meeting may stand as
a promise of things to come.
of the season was the Thanksgiving Day
plash with the Catawba Indians, which
was played at Salisbury. The Quakers
stacked up against a really powerful
Indian team and came through with a
six-point victory.

The annual football classic be

the Elon Christians will be played
in the Greensboro Memorial sta
dium on November 23. The game
this j-ear is Guilford's game, which
means that all Guilford students are
admitted free at the gate. Since this
is our game, there is no reason why
there should not be a 100 per cent
support of the student body, the
weather being reasonable, so let's
have the entire school at Greensboro
rooting for the team next Saturday.
LENOIR-RHYNE WINS
OVER LOCAL SQUAD
Quakers Play Best Game of
Season But Lack Punch
to Score.
FOX SCORES LONE TALLY
Outplaying their opponents for four
straight quarters and waging a strong
defensive game, the Guilford Quakers
traveled to Hickory 011 November 1 to
drop the first and only night game of
the season to the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears,
14 to 6. The Quakers, handicapped by
the superior weight of the Bears, who
averaged about 190 pounds on the line,
put on an offensive that kept the ball
in Lenoir-Rhyne territory for the entire
first half and most of the second. Fox,
Quaker fullback, played his best game
of the season and starred in the Quaker
backfield in all three departments, run
ning, passing, and kicking. The Bears
chalked up their first tally early in the
third quarter and scored again in the
closing minutes of the game, while the
Quakers scored just before the final
whistle.

| DAVIS SCORES WIN
j New and Probable All-Time
Record for Quaker
Course.
CLOSE SCORE OF 27 TO 28
Edgar Meibohm Is Barely Nosed Out by
Davis of State in Blanket
Finish.
Guilford's cross-country team was de
feated for the first time on Saturday,
November 9, when it met the State Col
lege harriers as part of the Quaker
home-coming day celebration.
A fast-stepping State team which had
previously been defeated by the Quak
ers won the meet by one point as they
garnered 27 to Guilford's 28. In win
ning, State clipped a minute and 19 sec
onds off tlie old record of 17 minutes
and 45 seconds to establish a new and
probable all-time record of 16 minutes
and 25 seconds for the Quaker three
mile course.
Davis, State's flashy cross-country
star, led the pack at the finish line as
he breezed across one step ahead of
Edgar Meibohm, who has been the out
standing star for the Quakers during
the current season. The rest of the
speedsters were strung out in the fol
lowing order: Bowers, of Guilford,
third; Alvin Meibohm, of Guilford,
fourth; Fallon, of State, fifth; Hollo
way, of State, sixth; Steimette, of State,
seventh; and Bornous, of State, eighth.
Ninth to fourteenth place positions were
taken by Guilford men in tlio following
order; Ilockett, Taylor, Blair, Nunnery,
Reynolds, and Murray.
The race developed into a spectacle
when Meibohm and Davis raced down
the stretch neck and neck, and it
wasn't until the judges' decision was ren
dered that the crowd was certain of the
winner. Meibohm, however, tired at tho
finish and was evidently beaten by a
small margin as Davis came through.
