Guilford vs. Randolph Macon
Guilford traveled to Ashland,
Virginia to face conference rival
Randolph Macon on Saturday,
March 17th. In a very physical
game played before a sizeable,
and boisterous crowd, Randolph
Macon avenged its 16-5 loss to
the Quakers last year with a
14-11 victory over Guilford. The
game proved very costly to the
Quaker stickmen, with the loss
of star attackman Rich Wall due
to a spinal injury recieved
during the game.
Guilford quickly jumped to a
1-0 lead, twenty-five seconds
into the first quarter. Randolph
Macon dominated the first
quarter led by R&M's midfiel
der John Novotny who was the
game's leading scorer with a
total of five goals. Jim Shirley of
R&M was the leading assist
maker for both sides with
seven David Chanley played
another fine game, saving thir
teen shots on goal.
Guilford dominated, ground
balls, shots and face offs but fell
behind in the all important
statistic -- goals. Halftime score
found Randolph Macon on top
8-5. Guilford rallied in the third
quarter by scoring four unan
swered goals. Guilford led at
the end of the third quarter 9-8.
Randolph Macon came back
in the fourth quarter and out
scored Guilford 6-2, giving the
Quakers a very disappointing
14-11 loss.

Intramural battles over
Once again, basketball intra
murals have concluded with two
fine champions. The games, in
case you missed them, were
fitting finals to a great season.
In the women's game, Bin
ford 111 met Shore. Binford 111
used a spread offense and built
a halftime lead of 11-4. Binford
111 continued the spread offense
in the second half, and held off
any comeback attempts of
Shore. Binford 111 came out the
champions with a score of
26-16.
The men's championship
game had shades of the 1957
NCAA championship game be
tween UAC and Kansas. That
game had only three overtimes.
Guilford's men's championship
game had five overtimes! The
Dixie Chickens (Milner 2N)
barely kept a one point lead till
halftime. Nine minutes later the
Sunshine Slammers (Day Hops)
had a two point lead which
slowly dwindled. At the end of
regulation time, the score stood
32-32.
The teams matched baskets
in the first and second over
times as neither team could pull
ahead. With one minute re
maining in the third overtime
the Dixie Chickens had what
seemed like a safe five point
lead. However, such was not
the case, and the game contin-

control of most of the game.
Mark Keavney's arrival on
the lacrosse field, despite his
injured knee, seemed to spark
morale and enthusiasm, as he
scored one goal and assisted on
another.

Ziffo led his team in scoring
with three goals. Guilford had
balanced scoring with eight
players adding to Guilford's
game total of 13, while Georgia
Tech had a game total of 10.
ued on.
As in the other overtimes, a
last second shot tied the game
once more at the end of the
fourth overtime, 48-48. The
teams continued to trade bas
kets. With two seconds left, a
Day Hop player was shooting
a two shot foul. The first one
missed. The second dropped.
The Dixie Chickens got off a
shot that bounced off the back
of the rim. The Sunshine Slam
mers had won 53-52 in the fifth
overtime.
Congratulations to Binford 111

would also like to congratulate
the Dixie Chickens. Throughout
the season and even in the fifth
overtime in the championship
game, they displayed the atti
tude that the Intramural Council
wishes to promote. In every
game, everyone who came was
allowed to play. They stressed
the ideal of participation for
everyone. Again, thank you to
the Dixie Chickens; true cham
pions in an important way.
