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.

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.
