NOVEMBER 21, 1958
QUAKERS CLIMB MOUNTAINS
TO FACE WESTERN CAROLINA
Tomorrow night will find the
Quakers at Cullowhee to face the
Catamounts of Western Carolina in
Guilford's eighth game of the cur
rent season. The kick-off time
is slated for 8:00 in Memorial
Stadium.
Although the Cats do not have
an impressive record to ~show for
their first nine games, they can be
a tough foe. The Lenoir Rhyne
Bears had to make a tremendous
comeback in the final period to
eke out a 36-30 win. A game with
a touted Appalachian eleven found
the Cats coming out on top by the
Johnny Meroney
Athlete Of Week
*
The 1958 version of the Guilford
Quakers has produced some sur
prises so far this season. One game
the Quakers were supposed to win,
they lost. They were visa versa on
another one. They did as they were
scheduled for one game. The
Quakers have surprised the experts
by playing sound football in every
game except, possibly, the Lenoir
Rhyne tilt. Through the first five
games the Quakers had already
won twice as many games as did
the 1957 Quakers. One of the big
reasons for the good record so far
this season is Johnny Meroney. For
his performance against Hampden-
Sydney and other teams this sea
son, Meroney is the MSG Athlete
of the Week No. 21.
Meroney is a 180-pound halfback
in his third year at Guilford. The
5-8 speedster is from Arlington,
Virginia, and is one of the four
lettermen in the Guilford back
field.
Although Meroney has crossed
the last stripe for but one touch
down this year, he has been in
strumental in setting up other Guil
ford scores thus far this year.
Against Bridgewater Johnny got off
on a long punt return that put the
Quakers in good scoring position,
and later Guilford had its second
touchdown of the afternoon. When
Emory and Henry invaded the
campus for home-coming, Meroney
again was able to move the ball
in a convincing manner. Pitted
against the Tigers of Hampden-
Sydney, Johnny was the offensive
spark for the Quakers. His running
put the Quakers down deep in
Tiger territory on two or three
different occasions, but a fumble
and a Tiger defense that became

score of 32-22, which is the only
win of the season for Western Car
olina. In other games Western Car
olina has tied Catawba 6-6, and
has dropped games to Wofford,
15-29; Carson-Newman, 6-20; Tam
pa, 12-19; East Carolina, 7-18;
Elon, 6-15; and Emory and Henry,
0-6.
In foes that both teams have
faced, the Cats come out with a
better record. Both Guilford and
Western Carolina have played Ap
palachian, Elon, Lenoir Rhyne, and
Emory and Henry. In comparative
scores Western Carolina comes out
ahead by 20 points, but such
figuring often means nothing, and
this is no exception. Last year the
two teams played to a 7-7 stand-off
in the mud at the Guilford high
school field. This was the only
game the two teams have played
against each other since 1946.
In checking the squad of the
Cats, coached by Dan Robinson,
there are but 14 lettermen. By posi
tions there are three at end, three
at tackle, one at guard, two at cen
ter, one at quarterback, three at
halves, and one fullback. Of the
45 listed on the squad there are
23 freshmen, 12 sophomores, eight
juniors, and two seniors. Both of
the seniors are lettermen and start
ers. The ends boast Phil Royal,
Tack Spady, and Jim Turner as
monogran wearers. Roval is a 5-9,
184-pound junior, Spady is a 185-
nounder and Turner weighs in at
170. Gerald Lewis, co-captain of
the Cats, is the leadinu tackle for
the Cats. Lewis is one of the
seniors on the team and is a 210-
oounder. Tim Pythvon is the other
starter at the tackle slot. Pvthvon
(Continued on page six)
aroused when it was pushed back
against the goal halted the Quakers
each time. Penalties put the skids
on another Quaker threat. Mer
oney's only TD came against Ap
palachian when he plunged across
from the one for Guilford's lone
counter.
Johnny not only is a fine running
back, he is also equally as good
when the Quakers are on the de
fensive. Against the mighty Bears
of Lenoir Rhyne, Meroney was
outstanding on what defense the
Quakers could muster. Playing
what almost amounted to a iine
backer's position against the Bears,
Tohnny came through with tackles
that either stopped the Bears for
no gain or short yardage when the
plays were run to his side.
With another season left on
Meroney's football career at Guil
ford, Johnny should blossom out
even more in 1959. With his speed,
weight, and determination Johnny
Meroney runs the dashes in track,
and is one of the backs that figure
prominently in coach Herb Ap
penzeller's plans to put Guilford
on the map in the North State.
These qualities go together to
make Meroney an outstanding back
for Guilford, and this issue's Ath
lete of the Week.

CAGERS PREPARE FOR TILT WITH
E.C.C. PIRATES ON NOVEMBER 29
It's almost time for basketball
to take over the sports' scene at
Guilford, and, according to Coach
Bob Shoaf, this year's team should
show an improvement over last
year's record.
In three early scrimmages with
Oak Ridge, Guilford has looked
good, winning each time. In these
scrimmages and in practice, Ted
Tilghman, Don Lineberry, Charlie
Clark, and John Burwell have been
looking particularly good. Since
these were just practice games no
official scorebook was kept, but
Tilghman and Lineberry have been
leading the scoring for the Quakers.
Tilghman, too, along with Lan
caster, has been pulling down most
of the rebounds. Looking very
good on defense, which should be
one of our strong points, are Clark
and Burwell.
Bob Young, out with an injured
leg, is still sorely missed. He is out
indefinitely, and until he is able
to play, Tilghman and Lancaster
will be sharing duties at the center
position.
The boys are looking forward to
the first conference game Novem
ber 29, when the Pirates from East
Carolina invade the campus.

Along with the control type of
ball that Guilford plays, it will also
be using the fast-break occasionally
this year, calling on the speed of
Clark and Burwell. We have a
small team, but with hustle, deter
mination, and a good defense, we
should do all right this season.
