Curtain falls on Men's tennis
By Mike Van Wagner
The Men's tennis team

District 26 Championship, fi
nishing second to St. Augustine
St. Aug. now advances to the
national championships in Kan
sas City. Last year the roles
were reversed, with the Qua
kers making the trip west.
Scott Nichols advanced to the
singles semifinals before bow

Tony Mmoh. Prior to Nichols no

K. Dove - tough
To anyone associated with
Guilford athletics, the mention
of Ken Dove, better known as
"K.D.", or simply "Dove,"
calls to mind an individual
whose dedication to the pro
gram inspires only admiration
and appreciation. During all
four of his years here, Dove,
serving as a basketball manager
/trainer/statistician, has been
Jack Jensen's most valuable
sixth man. In addition, he has
worked as a football trainer for
three years. When he graduates
in two weeks, Ken Dove will
leave behind a pair of shoes that
will be difficult to fill.
Looking back, Dove recalls
how he first became involved
with Guilford basketball as a
freshman "I met Coach Jensen
through Sporty Jeralds We had
become friends, and once the
team started practicing I found
myself at the gym each after
noon o'clock to watch. Coach
hinted at my being manager but
he never came straight out and
asked me. So as it turned out, I
ended up asking him." Since
then Dove has been as much a
part of the program as anyone.
Whether it be playing pick-up
games in practice, supplying
towels and keeping stats during
games, or celebrating after
wards, he has always been right
with the team

Asked if he's noticed any
changes in the team during his
four years, Dove observed,
"There's been somewhat of a
change in the players' attitudes
The way they prepare for
games, and the way they handle
winning and losing. The teams
of three and four years ago
seemed to want it just a little bit
more than those of the last two
years. I don't mean that in a bad
way - the guys have all worked
real hard. It's just that we've
been lacking a few vital dimen
sions such as depth and the type
of team leader that Elton Gross
was for us four years ago."
As for Coach Jensen, Dove
has only the highest regards.
"Coach Jensen has really
guided me a lot, and I have to
attribute much of what I've
accomplished here to him. My
parents also think very highly of
him. As far as coaching goes, I
think he's one of the best. There
aren't many coaches who have
won a national championship."
At the uncoming graduation
cermonies, Dove will receive a
degree in Administration of
Justice, a major he chose be
cause "it gives me a chance to
work with people, kids especial

Men's lacrosse finished on a
winning note, topping Clemson
20-6. Commenting on his
team's 9;3 finish, Geoff Miller
observed: "I feel good about
the season We accomplished
our goals of beating the decent
teams and closing the gap
between the stronger teams."
boro's Juvenile Detention Cen
ter So hopefully something will
come through."
As a college-bound senior at
Raleigh's Broughton High
School, Dove was divided be
tween Carolina and Guilford;
looking back, he has no regrets
about his final choice, "I really
have no complaints. Guilford is
a great place and I've enjoyed
being here." Asked what Coach
Jensen will do without him,
Dove jokes, "I don't know
maybe he'll go back out to
Kansas City." Perhaps. But
Ken Dove will be a tough act to
follow.

Savage - No. 2 nationally
As of April 13th, Guilford lacrosse's Brian Savage was the
second leading scorer in Division 111 of the United States
Intercollegiate Lacrosse Assocation. A sophomore who hails
originally from Port Jefferson, New York and now lives in
Durham, Savage had notched 32 goals in eight games against
USILA competition for a 4.0 goals per game average.
Guilford coach Geoff Miller feels that Savage has earned the
acclaim--"Brian certainly deserves the recognition. Throughout
the season he continually pressured opposing goalies. Brian's a
very hard worker."
In addition to the personal recognition, Miller cites the
exposure Guiford's program is gaining--"lt's great for the
program Every lacrosse coach in the country receives the
rankings weekly, for our players to be up top with those from
schools like Roanoke and Ohio Wesleyan is a great boost for
Guilford lacrosse." Joining Savage in the top ten is Chapel Hill
transfer Tom Bogan, currently ranked Bth.
Both Savage and Bogan stand good chances of moving up in
the rankings this week, as Savage added 6 goals and Bogan 4 in

some expect from the working
minority on campus, but a
deeply held resentment:
"When they leave, they will not
get one nickel from me." Idle
talk? I think not. Does Guilford
really care about its image? It
has a strange way of showing it.
