This was done to make their final game of the season both an alumni game and a salute to former coach Geoff Miller, who is being inducted into the Guilford College Athletics Hall of Fame for his incredi ble run (under his direction, the lacrosse team won 63 games in seven years). In spite of the men's team no-show, Grosso hopes this won't divert atten tion away from the game at hand, as he sees a lot of significance in the homecoming tradition as well. "There has been a tremendous amount of change on this campus, and if you feel any kind of tie to your school, "it would be nice to have a venue to go back and see how things have progressed," said Grosso. There are several events going on in addition to.the games on homecoming weekend. The games, however, are the centerpiece.

Between ticeT and football prac- reia’jf f ®njoys a nice nap to day already long fo/'^f P ni. Parker leaves p^acSs^" relaxed th Sincp^ ^nan other practices, same typically a ^brkl?® following day, the ly ^ and drills are usual- thic ^ ^'nripie. The majority of Practice is used for view ing game film and discussing the game plan for Saturday. Practices on other days of the week are usually more dif ficult. Since Parker has a shoulder problem, most prac tices end with soreness that.is constantly treated with ice and visits to the athletic train er. After practice and an ice- wrap, Parker eats dinner and usually heads back to his dorm. He chooses not to party on Fridays because he knows he needs as much rest as possible for the game. He usually spends these nights relaxing and watching a little bit of TV in his room. He goes to bed early, because he knows he has to be awake and ready to play football at 10 a.m. the next morning. Parker is a prime example of a student who can balance sports and academics, as long as he plans his days accordingly. §€ Dear Editor, Nothing is quite so ridicu lous as an idea who's time has come and gone. This is true of Guilford Football. I attended Guilford for five and a half years and never attended a game ... notone, so I can't speak to the character building, and school unifying aspects of the sport on the field, but I don't see how they could be any better that of lacrosse or soccer. I can speak to what I do know of the cam pus life contributions made by the anachronistic rural Carolinian athletes in my day. As strange of an individual as I may have been , I always felt welcome in any aspect of Guilfordian culture: that is until passing through the hallways of Milner Dorm to the calls of "Why don't you get a Hair cut?" Now this was 1979 on a lib eral arts campus, not 1965 in Kernersville. Nowhere else have I found snack machine continually riffled empty by coat hanger wielding phan toms, or inebriated athletes lined up rail road style awaiting their turn with an equally ine briated co-ed. In a past issue of the Guilfordian, English Professor Dick Morton wrote of the "poetic" nature of the sport ing event. No one dared retort poetry could have been more deeply appreciated by crack ing an edition by Frost or. attending a lecture on Lanier The Golden Years of IV League College Football was the third decade of the last century. In this age of sexual parity, both women's and men's sports deserve top billing at Guilford Stadium, not to be trumped by a grander male-only sport's program. Football has as much place in a co-educational liberal arts and sciences college as a Frat House. Greg Brown, '83
