Quakers Kick
Hampton Sydney

ARMFIELD ATHLETIC
CENTER - The Guilford
College football Quakers took
several large strides in
rebuilding their program by
whipping Hampton Sydney
15-7 here last Saturday.
Although the 15-7 count was
no indication of how well the
Quakers played, the final
result still left Guilford
undefeated on the year.
The Quaker offensive unit
underwent a severe test in
facing the veteran Bulldog
defensive team. Even though
the offense only scored one
touchdown, they capitalized
on a costly H-S turnover, while
controling the game tempo
with lengthy drives.
One of the most overlooked
highlights of the win was the
kicking of Butch Foley. Before
the game, one of the main
unsolved questions of this
years team was the placekick
ing department. Foley res
ponded with two field goals,
one a 41 yarder, and added a
conversion to run his season
scoring total to nine points,
tops on the team.
Guilford kept pressure on
Hampton Sydney the entire
game, particularly the first
half. On the other hand, the
Quakers maintained ball
possession double to that of
the Bulldogs, and moved
inside H-S territory in all but
three cases.
The opening series saw
Guilford move from its on
20-yard line to the Bulldog 49,
before defensive back David
Paxton intercepted a Steve
Watson pass. The two teams
then exchanged punts before
Blaine Tysinger intercepted a
Bulldog pass on the H-S 31.
The Quakers then moved to
the 19 where on a fourth and
four it appeared Guilford
coach Dennis Haglan was
settling for three points. Foley
lined up as to kick, but as the
snap reached holder Chris
Paphites the soph took the ball
and rolled to the right and
passed. The gamble did not
play off as Paxton recorded his
second interception of the
game.
Hampton Sydney then
controled the ball until the
opening minutes of the second
period before punting. Guil
ford then drove inside the 50
to the H-S 48. The rushing of
Reggie Kenan and Billy
Whitley was shutdown after
Haglan gambled and won on a
fourth and one from the
Bulldog 48.
Following a brief punting
duel, Mike Ribet returned a
kick to the Guilford 45.
Watson then found tightend
Charlie Groves open twice for
30 yards during the closing
minutes of the half. Groves
was injured on his second
reception and left the game.
Then, Butch Foley came in
and connected on his 41 yard
field goal with only 0:25 left in
the half.
Guilford kicked off to begin
the second half and the
Bulldogs began to show some
offensive flair, moving to the
Guilford 38. Both teams then
punted, with Tony Swainey
kicking the ball to the Bulldog
six-yard line. Veteran A 1
Patterson then intercepted a
first down pass on the 12-yard
line. Watson then cashed in on
turnover as he hit Chris
Paphites with a pass that was
tipped for the score. Foley
converted and the Quaker lead
increased to 10-0 with 5:30
remaining in the third quarter.
Again the two teams
exchanged punts until the
opening minutes of the finale.
Guilford then caused another
turnover when a jarring tackle
on Bo Snodgrass forced the
wide receiver to fumble after
making a long catch. The
Quakers then moved to the
eleven but failed on a third
and goal. Foley then added his
second three pointer to the
game giving the Quakes a 13
point lead with 4:56 left.
A determined H-S offense
then came back to score
themselves as reserve QB
Donny Cequien took to the air.
The Bulldogs moved 73 yards
in only five plays as Cequiens
fourth consecutive pass com
pletion was an eleven yard TD
pass to Snodgrass. Referees
tacked on two 15 yard

As you already know, last
week the Guilford hooters
rallied over Greensboro Col
lege in the season opener
before losing the Duke 7-2 two
days ago. Garrett Wall,
co-captain and a four year
player for the Quakers had
these remarks about the team
and the upcoming season.
FT: Garrett, how do you
explain last weeks lop-sided
victory over Greensboro Col
lege?
GW: Well. 1 feel that the
team was mentally psyched
and ready to play. We have
improved alot for the few
weeks of practice and
everyone wanted a win for
G.C. was not an easy team to
beat. We had to play good

everyone played their best.
Had we not, G.C. could have
beaten us.
FT: Since most of the
starters from last year's team
are back, what do you think
are the main differences in
this team and the team last
year?
GW: 1 feel the mairndifferenc
is that we've learned to work
together as a team. The front
line has now shown that it can
score with consistency and
this is a big improvement.
Last year, everyone was
playing as though soccer was
an individual sport but now
we're playing like a team.

Duke
Crushes
Guilford 7-2
by Steve Beck
Sports Editor
Durham-Everyone was
•pointing to the game with
Duke University as a good
indicator of this years soccer
team. The Quakers looked
tough for the opening 15
minutes of the game before
being crushed by a strong
Blue Devil team • 7-2 here
Wednesday.
Following the opening
kickoff, the Dukes began to
shoot almost at will at Quaker
goalie Robert Pierce. How
ever, with about 30 minutes
left in the half, Guilford's
Richard Schumacher took
advantage of a one-on-one
situation to score after he had
slipped by one Duke defender
with a nifty display of ball
handling.
The goal by the Quakers did
nothing to fire the Dukes up
even more. The Blue Devils
then came back to continue to
fire away shots at a
shellshocked Pierce.
e It took Duke only two
minutes to take their first lead
in this non-conference game.
Continually, Duke swarmed
the Guilford net, pushing one
goal in before scoring another
as the ball deflected off the
side post and bouncing back in
the goal. Both of the scores
came within a two minute time
span.
Guilford then suffered a
severe blow to their chances of
winning as goalie Pierce left
the game after being kicked in
the head as he attempted to
block a Duke attempt. The
Blue Devils scored again in
this half producing a comfort
able 3-1 halftime lead.
' Second half play was
equally disasterous for Guil
ford as Duke continued an
assault on reserve tender Fred
Curtis. The Dukes then went
on to score three more times
for a six point lead during the
first part of the last half.
Left winger Bucky Boykin
came back to score his first
goal of the season. After
receiving a perfect pass,
Boykin kicked but the ball
bounced off the Duke goalie.
