6 Quaker Sports
BY DOUG DROTMAN
The remarkable turnaround of
the Guilford football team was
showcased to the campus for the
first time when Guilford
outplayed a tough Ferrum squad
37-25. The Quakers battled
adverse weather conditions and a
quagmire of a playing field to pull
off their fourth consecutive vic
tory and raise their record to 4-3.
Due to the cold and rainy
weather and the "mud-bowl"
field, Quaker coach Charles
Forbes elected to keep the ball on
the ground. The running game
rose to the occasion by amassing
a seasons high 348 yards rushing.
Forbes was especially pleased
with the teams execution of their
blocking assignments. "Our of
fensive line and fullbacks
established early that we could
dominate the line of scrimmage.
This set the pace for the whole
game," remarked Forbes.
Tackles Marc Scott and David
Mann, guards Alan Foley and
Kamus McNair, center Rob Apl
ington and back-up Jeff Hensen
played close to perfect football by
not picking up a single penalty on
the afternoon.
The lone mistake by the line
came on Guilford's opening
posession. Facing a fourth and
sixth from their own 40 yard line,
the Quakers were forced to punt.
The snap from center sailed over
the head of punter Donnie Red
mon. When Redmon retrieved the
ball and attempted to punt, he
was swarmed by Panther
defenders. The punt was blocked
into the end zone where end Lynn
Conner recovered for a
touchdown. Scott Johnston's ex
tra point gave Ferrum a 7-0 lead
at 10:46 of the opening period.
Unlike the frustrating losses at
the beginning of the season, the
Quakers offense was not to let the

At last report, the Quaker golf
team had won two of their first
four tournaments but slumped to
eighth and eleventh place in their
two losses. Since then, the lynx
ters have captured two more
tournaments in addition to a third
place finish.
On October 14-15, Guilford had
to settle for a third place finish at
the Hargrove B. Davis Memorial
Tournament. The Quakers' 603
total left them one shot behind
host Campbell College and six
shots in back of team medalist,
Virginia Tech. Senior Pat Brady
recorded his best finish of the
year by firing a (72-73 145), good
for second place.
Later that week, Guilford
broke a three match losing streak
led by individual medalist Mike
Beaver (74-71 145). The Quakers
headed the five team field with a
594 two day total. Sophomore
Ross Huling had his best outing of
the season with a second place

team to fall far behind. On their
next possession, tailback Johnny
Hines (8-90 ltd) took a handoff
from Jeff Schreiber and outrac
ed the Panther secondary for a 64
yard score. The score was

packed in their defense on a third
and one situation. Once Hines
broke through the line there was
only cornerback Robert Warfield
to beat.
After a short Ferrum poses
sion, cornerback Lamar Boykin
returned a David Stratton punt 56
yards for a touchdown. Boykin's
spectacular return was
highlighted by sidestepping
several would-be tacklers and
coming within an inch of stepping
out of bounds before cutting to the
middle and outrunning the Pan
ther pursuit.
"Lamar's great return really
got our momentum going.
After falling behind early, the
two quick scores let us do what
we wanted offensively," remark
ed Forbes.
finish and a (74-72 146) total. Rob
Odom made it three Quakers in
the top three by tying for third
place with a (74-73 147) total.
The Quakers' biggest triumph
of the season came over fall
break when the lynxters became
the first Guilford team to win the
eighth annual Guilford Invita
tional. The host team covered the
7,000 yard Cardinal Country Club
course in 594 strokes - seven less
than the runners-up, Georgia
Southern.
Although Guilford did not cap
ture the individual medal, won by
John McHenry of William &
Mary (74-69 143), they were able
to place four scores in the top
fourteen. Freshman Lee Porter,
who has been inconsistent but
brilliant at times, paced the
Quakers with a (71-77 148), third
place finish. Other top ten scores
were added by: freshman Mike
HUtcheon (74-76 150 7th), and
Mike Beaver, and Rob Odom at
151, good for a tenth place tie.
The Quakers made it 16 points
in four minutes when defensive
end Jody Engleby blocked a
Stratton punt out of the end zone
for a safety. Engleby has been a
big play man this season with
three fumble recoveries and a
blocked punt
The defense played a superb
opening period by limiting Fer
rum to 27 net yards and one first
down. "We dominated the line of
scrimmage early, when it
counted, and that enabled us to
jump out to the big lead," added
Forbes.
Guilford's first period scoring
reached 23 when team leading
rusher, Terry Jones (19-93 ltd)
capped a 6 play 53 yard scoring
drive with a 20 yard touchdown
scamper around right end. After
a slow start, Jones has become
the Quakers catalyst once again
averaging 94 yards in the four
victories. Jones leads the
Quakers in rushing with 574
Playoff Fever
BY JACQUE LESBOO
The last two weeks for the
men's soccer team saw them go
1-1-1 with the loss coming to
number 1 ranked division II team
Liberty Baptist University. The
win came against Hampton-
Syndney and the tie was against
conference and district
powerhouse High Point College.
Also announced in the past week
was the all conference team.
Freshmen Chris Jenkins and
Junior Phil Polo made honorable
mention which is impressive con
sidering the majority of the selec
tions were from nationally rank
ed Catawba College and Elon Col
lege.
The first game was against
Hampton-Syndney. The Guilford
Booters totally dominated the
game and outshot their opponents
35-6. Although the Guilford team
could not put the ball in the net in
yards. With two games remain
ing, Jones should surpass the 661
yards he gained last season in 10
games.
After 30 points scored in only 15
minutes of play the end zones
then shut down for 30 minutes.
The two teams combined to throw
2 interceptions and fumble four
times in the scoreless middle
periods.
Ferrum closed the gap to 10
points when they took over on
their own 23 yard line with 3:40
left in the third quarter. The Pan
thers mixed 6 passes in with 11
rushes before tailback Anthony
Drakeford scored from 1 yard
out. Drakeford's run capped a 73
yard drive spanning seven
minutes. The drive was
highlighted by a Quaker defen
sive stand which thwarted three
Panther scoring attempts from
the three yard line preceeding
regulation, in overtime the
booters proved too potent and
won 1-0.
The next day, Guilford took
on nationally ranked Liberty
University. Phil Polo again
scored Guilford's only goal, but
this was not enough. Liberty
scored two goals which proved to
be the necessary margin.
Although the Guilford team
played perhaps their best game
of the season they lost 2-1. The
final game was against High
Point College. A cold-muddy day
kept the game slow moving with
both teams having ample oppor
tunities to score. However,
neither team could convert these
and it ended up 0-0. Guilford's
last home soccer game is Satur
day against Belmont Abbey. The
booters then enter the district
playoffs on Tuesday against an
opponent yet to be named.
Drakeford's score. The two-point
conversion pass failed and
Guilford led 23-13.
Realizing that they needed two
touchdowns in ten minutes, Fer
rum gambled on an on-side kick.
Freshman Brad Gwinn
recovered the loose ball at mid
field for Guilford.
Guilford then capitalized on the
fine field position as the dormant
offense re-awoke and rose to the
occasion by driving 48 yards on 8
runs. Wayne Shepherd (12-51)
carried four times and Jones
three before fullback Brent Tart
(9-53 ltd) carried over from two
yards out on a fourth down gam
ble.
Despite late offensive
fireworks, the Tart touchdown
would be enough as Guilford held
on for the victory.
Over fall break, the Quakers
picked up two wins with a 26-7
triumph at Bridgewater and a
45-3 thrashing of Newport News
Apprentice School.
In Guilford's sixth consecutive
victory over Bridgewater, a Paul
Smith 46 yard interception return
for a touchdown blew open a 13-7
game early in the fourth period.
Guilford's defense dominated the
game by limiting Bridgewater to
71 yards rushing and picking off
two passes (Smith and Todd
Shuping).
Terry Jones rushed for a
career high 161 yards and two
touchdowns and Jeff Schreiber
passed for 110 more yards as
Guilford amassed 453 yards
while limiting Newport News to
217 yards. Freshman Cedric
Ellison also scored two
touchdowns in that win.
Congrats!
Last week, when the All
Carolina's Conference VolleybaL
squad was announced, Guilforc
College proudly claimed three
positions on the 12 member team.

ed the honor.
Cooper was recognized for the
third consecutive year while the
honor was the first for Ball and
Lowe. Coach Gayle Currie stated,
"I am happy for all of the girls,
they all deserved the honor due to
hard work and fine play.
This weekend marks the an

After defeating Mars Hill last
week, Guilford earned the right
to host the tournament. The Lady
Quakers look to revenge two
losses to rival High Point College.
