Quakers W
Beat A&T 85-75
Guilford's basketball team
met a challenge last
Wednesday night, and won.
The prize was the crown to
the Triad Classic tournament,
and the Quakers bested A&T
get ii.
Thoughts of last year's
two defeats in the same event
were dispelled as Guilford
jumped to leads as big as
eleven in the first half, then
performed brilliantly in
holding off a determined
Aggie press as time expired
collecting an 85-75 victory.
David Smith ripped
through the opposition for 31
points and Most Valuable
Players honors, playing much
of the game in foul trouble
and eventually fouling out,
while offsetting a tough A&T
inside game. Guilford's six
players who entered the game
all contributed excellent
efforts, and M.L. Carr joined
Smith on the All-Tournament
team.
_Now the Quakers ana
Coach Jack Jensen are 3-0 on
the young seaso"n; but their
latest victory did not come
easy, despite the leads
accumulated by the Quakers
at several stages. Guilford's
offense in the first half
threatened to leave the Aggies
cold, despite many missed
shots in close, and at first,
several free throws which
would not drop. With a 44-35
lead at intermission, in the
second half, the Quakers
resorted to ball control
methods, only to see A&T
slice a seventeen point margin
to only seven as the contest
neared its conclusion.
Bert Feik sparked the
Quakers in the opening
minutes, snatching rebounds
from taller competitors while
dropping shots from all over.
Carr's inside moves, and the
muscle of Smith and Tom
Ennis in close motivated
Guilford to an eleven point
margin in the midway
minutes of the first half.
Twice in the second half,
after Guilford built up
substantial leads, A&T
mounted rallies to put the
decision in doubt. The last
resurgence came as only four
minutes remained, and Coach

instituted a vicious defense
which caused a rapid drop
in the spread of points.
Guilford led 80-65 with three
and a half minutes to go, but
consecutive steals and scores
by Bobby Parks, A 1 Carter
(2), and Lloyd Glover thinned
the score to 80-73.
A&T stole the ball again as
Guilford came down the
floor,so Greg Jackson
immediately re-stole it, and
slid in for a layup. Feik hit
two free throws, Ennis
contributed one and Carr
leaped for a last second
rebound to insure the victory.
Carr supplemented Smith's
performance with 21 points,
Jackson had 10, Ennis had 11
and Feik had 12. Parks was
high scorer for his team, with
18 points.
Parks and his teammate Elmer
Austin made the All-Tourney
team also, as did Elon's
Tommy Cole, who had 31
points in his team's
consolation win over Pfeiffer,

Jerry Crocker was forced
to watch his teammates from
the side lines during the
game, due to stretched
ligaments, but walked on the
floor to receive the
championship trophy.
Guilford now looks toward
its second big battle in a row,
CAGERS WHIP UNC-A
Guilford's cage schedule
got a successful start last
Wednesday night against one
of only five teams which
prevailed over the Quakers
last year, as the Quaker stars
ripped UNC-Asheville 82-76
for their first win.
A touch of raggedness
marred the Guilford
performance slightly, but was
more than offset as the team
offense operated in
mid-season form, and
defensively staved off any
threats mounted by the
Bulldogs from Asheville.
Sophomore M.L. Carr and
junior David Smith,
co-captains for the team
ripped off 22 and 20 points,
with 18 and 20 rebounds
respectively. Swingman Jerry
Crocker tallied for 18 in his
role as Guilford sparkplug,
while Tom Ennis contributed
12 as a forward.

to Grimsley gym for its first
contest with the Quakers.
Elon coach Bill Miller sees his
team as a conference
champion over the Quakers
this year, despite three losses
last year to virtually the same
team.
Co-Captains
Named
Sophomore M.L. Carr and
junior David Smith have been
selected by their teammates
to co-captain v- Guilford's
1970-71 squad,
Coach Jack Jenson
announced recently.
All-Conference and
All-District honors went to
each of the performers last
year, as they led their
teammates in scoring and
rebounding during a 37 game
journey to fourth palace in
the NAIA standings. Carr is a
6-5 forward from Wallace,
while Smith is the 6-8 Quaker
center from Ararat, Virginia.
Smith averaged 22.5 points
a game last year, with a high
of 36 points against the
number one team in the small
college ranks at that time,
Stephen F. Austin, in a
Quaker victory. Carr
bombarded -Lenior Rhyne for
35 points in his best game as
Small but determined,
Asheville's scrappy team
fought neck-to-neck with the
nationally ranked Quakers
until only seven minutes
remained in the first half.
Guard Jim McElhaney
motivated his squad to a
24-23 advantage, wherupon
scores by Crocker, Carr, and
Smith cemented a decisive
lead for the favored
Greensboro contingent.
In Coach Jack Jensen's
first game as head coach, the
Quakers enjoyed a 42-31
intermission lead and later
increased the margin to
seventeen, despite a brief
Bulldgo resurgence which
sliced the margin to nine.
Less than excellent
performances in tv/o
statistical categories cast a
slight pall on the Quaker
maneuvers, in the form of 41
turnovers (establishing a
higher total than any last
year) and 19 missed free
throws. Guilford's overall
execellence offset those
defects, especially a
predominance of rebounds,
70 to 41.
Smith, Carr, and Ennis
occupied the r ront line for
Guilford, with Crocker and
6-2 sophomore Teddy East in
the backcourt. Also seeing

Pfeiffer showed up at an
unlucky time last Tuesday
night. The third annual
Jaycee Triad Classic was just
getting underway and
Guilford was the opposition.
The Quakers were
remembering a fiasco last
year in the same event, when
two straight games were given
away. So, when Pfeiffer
made the mistake of
threatening in the early
minutes, Guilford's elite
cagers blasted the Falcons
from the arena.
They did it impressively, to
the tune of 110-60. Pfeiffer
never had a chance after the
first ten minutes of the
contest had passed by, for
Guilford outscored its
conference foe 32-8 on the
way to halftime.
Guards Ted Ayotte and
Harry Comer provided the
Misenheimer-based team's
only firepower , while on the
other hand, all of the Quaker
players played and scored.
David Smith accumulated 23
and M.L. Carr contributed
a freshman, in a game played
in Alumni Gym.
Both players starred in
their team's opening game
this season, as Carr collected
22 points and 18 rebounds
and Smith had 20 points and
20 rebounds, in an 82-76
victory over UNC-Asheville.

reached double figures, Jerry
Crocker with 10, Tom Ennis
with 13 and Greg Jackson
with 14.
Pfeiffer grabbed two early
leads while seeking to upset
the Quakers and kept the
margin close until 9:59
remained on the clock. Two
straight baskets by Crocker lit
the spark and after a basket
by Carr, Smith burned the
opposition for eight
consecutive points, and
Guilford had an
insurmountable lead. By
halftime, the margin was
50-25, and it was doubled in
the second half.
Carr thrilled the spectators
with the first dunk of the
season, along with his
impressive moves. Freshman
guard Jackson subbed for
much of the game, while
displaying excellent ball
control ability. Other
reserves, as John Dixon, Chris
Culpepper, Bob Fulton and
Arthur Lantor also outplayed
the Pfeiffer team, with
efforts ranging from 2 to 8
points. .Bert Feik as a reserve
played tough defense and
directed the offense when
regulars were beset by fouls.
Crocker was ejected from
the contest midway through
the last half, after retaliating
against a Pfeiffer forward
who tripped him as the junior
starter went for a layup.
