OCTOBER 4, 1957 *-" M Wk HI! . . . First of all, I'd like to say hello to all of you who read this column. I'm very happy to be able to speak to you this way, and to tell you what's goin' on around Guilford sportswise. I hope you'll continue to read the column in the forth coming year, and enjoy it as much as I enjoy bringing it to you. THANKS, "JAKE'' . . . I'd now like to thank Lee "Jake" Jacobson for four years of interesting and sometimes controversial articles as the "man-behind-the-pen' of Sportscope. In the past, his column was probably the widest read in this paper. During his years here, he was also Business Manager for three years of the Guilfoixlian and Sports Editor Of both this worthy newspaper and our yearbook. Back at Guilford again, he has the job of Sports Publicity Director, a difficult but enjoyable one. I'm sure you join with me in thanking him for his splendid work in the past and wishiftg him much good luck in his present position. NO DISGRACE . . . Yes, we lost, but we were not disgraced by it. Elon, don't forget, was the second place team in the conference last year and is an experienced bunch. We, on the other hand, have many good boys who, as freshmen, aren't yet experienced in conference play. Guilford is building for the future, but before the season is over I feel confident that several teams will go down before a Quaker onslaught. Congratulations should go to the coaches and to the team, for although scrappy when necessary, no Quaker player was kicked out of the game for unsportsmanlike conduct; Elon lost three or four to the refs. Whether we win (and we will) or lose, it is better done fairly. A ROUND OF APPLAUSE ... A round of applause goes to Jack Crenshaw right halfback, for a fine game against Elon. A bull on defense and terrific on offense, going 60 yards for Guilford's second tally, Jack was one of the Quaker spark plugs. Remember the name; you will be hearing more about him throughout the season. Keep your eye on number 27, Don Deaton; he looked good last Saturday night and should be a big man for Guilford. TOMORROW WE WIN!! . . . Tomorrow, the Guilford College Quakers travel to Bridgewater, Virginia, to play the Bridgewater Eagles on their home ground. We beat them last season, and we are going to beat 'em again this year. We won last year's game by a score of 12-7. Good luck men, bring back the Eagles wings. ATHLETE OF THE WEEK .. . This week the award goes to John Meroney, a sophomore fullback from Arlington, Virginia. Meroney figured in both of Guilford's tallies. He ran 62 yards in the first quarter for the first score of the game. In the final quarter, fie threw a Key block, that enabled Jack Crenshaw to return an Elon punt for a touchdown. •i ► - ► :: COLLEGE DANCE COTILLION f : * ► v •**- t► 4 ► - v Now Being Organized " :: :: :: Fred Astaire :: ;; Invites You To Take His Special Dance Course - :: SI.OO :: per week t O I " • 2 Hours Dance Instruction " I' • Party Once a Month with Other Local ; '1 Dance Cotillion " ;; • On Campus or Downtown Studio ;; :: ;; WORLD FAMOUS p'P'pJ) ASTAIRE DANCE STUDIOS '" ;; O.

Bight now we are in the football season, so it naturally follows that for the next few weeks the profiles will be those of football players; and as the sea son changes, so will the men be hind the profiles. BALPH "GOOT" NELSON Balph is a 205 lb. senior from Kernersville, N. C. This will be "Goot's" second year of playing first string guard for the Quaker eleven. Nelson has great determina tion, and has been one of Guil ford's steadiest performers. "Goot" is one of the scrappiest guards Guilford has seen in a long time, and he should be a strong con tender for All Conference Honors this season. Besides playing football, Ralph takes part in other extra-curricular activities. He is a member of the Monogram Club and the Men's Student Government. JACK WILLIAMS Jack is a 140 lb. freshman from Rocky Mount, N. C. Coach Ap penzeller considers himself quite lucky to recruit such a promising quarterback. Williams is a very smooth ball handler with the ability to step in and run a team. At Rocky Mount High School, Jack was a three letterman; letter ing in football, basketball, and baseball. Williams made All Con ference his senior year in football. Jack is very pleased with the set up here at Guilford, and plans to major in psychology.

Starts Sunday "THE SEAWIFE" starring JOAN COLLINS RICHARD BURTON —Wed. through Sat.— "A HATFUL OF RAIN" starring EVA MARIE SAINT—DON . . MURRAY—TONY FRANCISOSA In the opening game for both squads, the Elon Christians pushed across two fourth quarter scores to down the Guilford Quakers by the margin of 25-14. With the game played at the Greensboro Senior High stadium last Saturday night before a chilled and wet crowd, the Christians used the power of their fine fullback, Bob Stauffenberg, to grind out the win. Coach Herb Appenzeller's Quak ers took the opening kick-off and returned it to their own 38. On the first play from scrimmage the Quakers were off-side and lost five yards. Then, with first and fifteen quarterback Bill Huber pitched back to John Meroney who with only 40 seconds gone in the first quarter cut around his own right end and then sprinted 62 yards for the Quaker's first touchdown. Paul McNeil converted and Guilford led 7-0. The Christians scored late in the same period to narrow the margin to 7-6. Starting on their 35, the big Elon line opened up holes for Stauffenberg, and halfbacks Joey DelGais and Harry Faust and the Christians drove to the Quaker 17. Then DelGais hit Faust with a running pass for the tally. Bon Kinsley's PAT was wide and the Quakers held a one-point margin. The Christians forged ahead in the second quarter on a drive originating on the Quaker 44, after the slippery pikskin was recovered by an Elon lineman. With Stauffen berg heading the drive, Elon INTRAMURALS By WOODY FINLEY It was a cold, dreary afternoon and quite unspectacular for an open ing day. Teams huddled for last minute instructions and then took their positions on the field. The shrill call of a whistle brought toe and pig skin together, and the 57-58 Intramural League tag football season was under way. On Field No. 1, Don Hemrick sparked the Archdale six in a decisive 52-7 victory over English Hall. Running and passing effectively, the Archdale team jumped to a 25 to 0 half-time lead. The losers only score came with twenty seconds left in the ballgame when Tom English caught a pass and ran twenty-five yards for the tally. Tommy Dillon was outstanding on defense and Barry Foster was the leading scorer with twelve points. Kurt Conner and Cutler Witsell turned in commendable jobs for English Hall. Over in Field No. 2, an old rivalry took on a sad note in a game be tween Yankee Stadium and New North. New North turned the page on a tradition of closely contested matches between the two sections by running over their arch-rivals, 47-6. The Bears, quarter backed by Macon Nixon, featured a quick passing attack that ran loose over the Stadium in the second half. Hap Miller scored the loser's only touch down with a fine run late in the first half. Jordan Washburn was up to his old ways with a 12-point effort for the afternoon. The different sections are playing a single round robin schedule which is as follows: Field No. 1 Field No. 2 Sept. 27 Friday—Archdale vs. English Yankee S. vs. New North Sept. 30 Monday—Old North vs. Center Day Hops vs. New North Oct. 1 Tuesday—Archdale vs. Center Yankee S. vs. Old North South Oct. 2 Wednesday—English vs. Center Day Hops vs. Old North South Oct. 3 Thursday—Archdale vs. Yankee S. New North vs. Old North South Oct. 4 Friday—English vs. Yankee S. Day Hops vs. Archdale Oct. 7 Monday—Center vs. Yankee S.

Tag football is still young in the season and the intramural activities go on through the school year. All men are encouraged to participate and are eligible for competition when they sign the required insurance form which they can obtain from their section manager. Coach Shoaf and all involved look forward to a year of fun, sportsmanlike spirit, and participation. By SIDNEY HART crossed the goal on Stauffenberg's one-yard plunge off tackle with 10:55 left in the half. Kinsley's try for the extra point was wide again, but the Christian still led 12-7. After a scoreless third period, Elon lengthened its lead with a drive terminated by Stauffenberg's plunge from the three-yard stripe. The drive took ten plays with Stauffenberg, DelGais, and Faust eating up the yardage. Kinsley con verted, and Elon led 19-7 with 7:10 gone in the final period. After tak ing the kick-off, the Quakers were forced to punt, and Elon stormed right back to score on Maidon's pass to Bill Mac Lean from 16 yards out. The scoring thrust be gan on the Quaker 26 after Del- Gais' return of Jack Crenshaw's boot. DelGais was halted as he at tempted to run the PAT over. Elon now led 25-7. With the game drawing to a close the Quakers gave their back ers something to cheer about as Jack Crenshaw took a Christian punt on his own 40, and with Mero ney throwing a key block, swept up the middle of the field for 60 yards and Guilford's final touchdown of the game, with only 40 seconds remaining in the contest. McNeil converted and the final score read: Elon 25, Guilford 14. The fast charging Elon forward wall and hard running backs were too much for the Quakers.
