Sports 10 Homecoming Returns Ball To Quakers It's Hampden-Sydney ball fourth down on the Guilford 25 yard line with ten seconds remaining and Guilford leading 13-10. Quarterback Roger Glover drops back but can't find a receiver, he scrambles and is sacked by Tom Shahady and Lee Segars. The game is over and the Quakers are victorious. This dramatic ending enabled the Quakers to even their record at 2-2. This was a game of the big play, both offen sively and defensively, making this play a fitting end to an action packed game. The first Quaker touchdown was scored on the opening kickoff as Pernell Jefferson raced down the sideline 100 yards into the end zone. Bryan Wilson kicked the extra point, putting the Quakers out in front 7-0. After holding Hampden Sydney to 0 yards of total offense on their first two possessions, the Quakers took over on the Hampden Sydney 47 yard line. A 9 play, 47 yard drive which saw 4:12 run off the clock, was highlighted by a 23 yard pass play from David Cunningham (6 of 9 for 84 yards) to Buddy Halbert (3 catches-48 yards). The drive was kept alive on a fourth down and 2 from the 10 when Coach Forbes gambled and sent Larry Lindsay (16 rushes for 47 yards) up the mid dle to pick up the first down. The drive was culminated as Harvey Woods (15 carries for 40 yards) scampered in from one yard out. The extra point was missed keeping the Quaker lead at 13-0. Throughout the first half the Quaker defense was practically im penetrable, holding Hampden Sydney to a net of 56 yards and only 4 first downs and only letting them cross the 50 yard line once; a drive that ended in a 25 yard field goal attempt that was wide to the right. The second half was a defensive battle with the Hampden Sydney defense constantly holding the Quakers on short yardage situations and in turn the Quakers disrupting quarterback Glover, throwing him for losses four times. Early in the third quarter Hampden Sydney recovered a Guilford fumble inside the Guilford 30 and scored 3 plays later on a 16 yard pass play. The extra point and a 35 yard field goal late in the third quarter cut the Quaker lead to 13-10. The fourth quarter consisted of Guilford running the ball to kill the clock and Hampden Sydney unsuccessfully trying to penetrate the Quaker defense. Lineman Tom Shahady and Marc Francis combined on a key defensive play, with Shahady making the sack and Francis diving on the loose ball. Leading tacklers on defense were Nicky Baz zle, 14 tackles, Lee Segars, 8, Robert Assfalg, 7, and Tom Shahady, 7. The previous week, the Quakers had their hands full with NAIA No. 1 rated Elon and were defeated 41-6. The score was not entirely in dicative of the game as the Quakers compiled impressive statistics, but were just playing out of their league. Starting halfback Charlie Heard missed both games with a badly sprained ankle but should be ready for action soon. Quaker quarter back Earl Clinton, a transfer added to the squad this season, also sat out the Hampden Sydney game with an injury sustained against Elon. P.E. Center Ready and Waiting The P.E.

" Q jf Quaker defense attempts to stymie Elon offense Duffers Exhibit Unlimited Potential By Scott Bradford Sports Editor Unbeknownst to most people on campus, the men's golf team has one of the strongest athletic programs at Guilford. This past spr ing the Quakers finished sixth overall in the NAIA tournament in May, long after most students had dispersed. Returning to anchor a team Coach Jack Jenson believes to be stronger depth-wise than the 1980 Quaker squad, which finished fifth in the NAIA, are Bill Brooks (the only senior), Keith King, Mark Infalt, Charles Bradshaw and Steve Harwell. These five, along with freshman recruit David Smallwood from Canada, are the reason Coach Jenson feels the team will be able to compete with anyone this year Coming into this season, these players have already accumulated some impressive credentials. Infalt was All-Conference and All-District last year; an honor which re quires a player to finish in the top six in the district tournament. In addition, King, a freshman last year, just missed NAIA Ail- American by one stroke last spring and Brooks has competed in the previous two US Amatuer tournaments. An indication of the Quakers' potential was in evidence two weeks ago when the golfers traveled to Raleigh to compete in a tourna ment hosted by North Carolina State. The on ly small school invited to the tournament, Guilford was entered along with Clemson (1982 ACC champion), University of North Carolina, University of South Carolina, Duke, Virginia, ECU, Old Dominion and NC State. In what Coach Jenson termed "the best finish in this good a field since I came here in 1976," the squad finished third, fifteen strokes behind winner UNC and five strokes behind second place USC. The strong team performance can be directly attributed to several fine individual efforts, including the fact that three of the five golfers shot sub-par rounds during the course of the three day tournament. Top individual finishers for the Quakers were Bradshaw, third overall and tied for low score on the se cond day, and King, who finished eighth after leading all golfers going into the final day of play. Something which makes this solid perfor mance even more remarkable is the fact that the Quaker program has only two total scholarships as compared to five offered by most of the schools the team competed against in Raleigh. This a tribute to the golfers themselves as well as to those in dividuals involved with the golf and athletic programs at Guilford. Unfortunately, the Quakers second team, competing in the Aubry Apple Invitational on September 16-17, did not fare as well, even provoking Coach Jenson to deem their perfor mance "terrible," as they finished sixth overall in the tournament held in Greensboro.
