Guilford clinched at least a tie for the
Old Dominion Athletic Conference Foot
ball Championship by beating the Generals
of Washington & Lee 25-7 this past Satur
day. Senior quarterback Calvin Hunter
rushed for two touchdowns as the Quakers
built a 25-0 halftime lead and then coasted to
their eighth win of the year.
If Hampden-Sydney beats Randolph-
Macon this Saturday, the Quakers will win
the title outright If not, there will be a three
way tie between the Quakers, Randolph-
Macon, and Emory & Henry.
Calvin Hunter put the Quakers ahead
with 2:13 to go in the first quarter on a 1-
yard run, his seventh touchdown of the year.
The play capped a 15-play, 73-yard drive in
which Guilford converted a fourth and two
at the General 32.
Sophomore back Pat Tully gained two
yards up the middle, and the Generals were
then hit with a personal foul which took the
ball to the 15.
The Quaker defense set up and scored
the second touchdown of the quarter on the
Generals next possession. After returning
the kick-off to the 26, General quarterback
Intramurals:
Day Hops sweeps the field
in men's soccer and football;
future sports sound promising

Two more Guilford Intramural sports
seasons have come to a close, with both the
flag football and soccer championships hav
ing taken place this fall.
In flag football, the number one seeded
Day Hops squad defended its 1990 champi
onship with a 35-22 victory over Milner
2nd, the number two seed. The game was
close until the end, when Day Hops put the
contest out of reach.
Summing everything up, junior Jeff
Smith said, "I'm sure that there has been no
other team as dominant as us and we will
definitely win our third straight [champion
ship] next year."
Tuesday, that same Day Hops club edged
cross-town rival Greensboro College 39-34
in extramural play.
Both the men's and the women's soccer
finals were close match-ups, with the men's
final extending past the end of regulation.
Third-seeded Day Hops, behind the play
Geren Steiner was sacked on the first and
second downs, taking the ball back to the
11.
After an incompletion, the ball was
snapped over the punter and recovered by
senior defensive back Shane Handy in the
end zone, giving Guilford a 13-0 lead.
Senior defensive end Rodney Alexander
had three sacks on the day giving him 15 for
the season and breaking his own Guilford
record of 13 which he set last season.
Speaking of the first-half effort, head
coach Mike Ketchum said, "I thought it was
a real good effort We came out ready to
play and jumped on them." The Quakers
didn't let up in the second quarter. After
holding the General offense to a three and
out series, the Quakers got the ball on their
own 44.
Seven plays later, Hunter scampered in
to the endzone from the General 24 for an
apparent touchdown. The play was called
back for holding, bringing up second and 24
from the General 38. Junior wide receiver
Phil Lemons made a diving catch on the
next play for a 26 yard gain. Hunter scored
his eighth touchdown of the year on the next
yard play, scrambling for 12 yards.
The defense set up the final Quaker
score of the day two possessions later. Se
of Goitseone "Gordon" Moschoeu and Jose
Lopez, upset the top ranked crew from
Bryan Hall, 3-2 in overtime. The deciding
score resulted from a flurry of shots on the
Bryan goal.
The Bryan-Binford combination team
defeated Mary Hobbs-Apartments combi
nation club 6-4 in women's action. The
majority of the prevailing squad hailed
from Bryan.
Volleyball league playoffs begin Sun
day, Nov. 24.
The Certs & Trident Co-ed 4-on-4 Vol
leyball Tournament begins play on Tues
day, December 3 with playoff matches
held the following Sunday. The winners of
this tournament have the opportunity to
play in the regionals at Furman University.
"We hope that this will be big," said
Intramural Director
Joyce Clark. "This is our first time playing
4-on-4, so it should be interesting."
Sign-ups must be in Clark's office by
November 26. Teams need two men, two
women, a chosen captain and a team name.

nior linebacker Shannon Manire picked off
a Steiner pass at the General 25-yard line.
After picking up a first down, Pat Tully
rumbled for a 14-yard touchdown giving
Guilford a 25-0 lead. Tully gained 114 yards
18 carries, marking the first time this season
a Quaker back rushed for over 100 yards.
Ketchum was quick to credit the blocking of
the offensive line and senior fullback Jay
Derby for opening up holes for Tully.
The Quakers took the air out of the ball
in the second half, attempting only five
passes. Because of the miserable weather
Ketchum didn't want to take any chances
that might result in a cheap General touch
down.
Senior defensive back Clarence Inscore
gave the Quakers good field position early in
the third quarter, intercepting a Steiner pass
at the General 38. Hunter drove the Quakes
down to the 12 where Ketchum decided to
go for it rather than kick into the wind on
fourth and 5. Hunter found wide receiver
Chip Hester but he came down out of the
endzone.
The Generals then marched 88 yards on
15 plays for their only score of the day. They
converted two fourth downs on the drive
which was capped by Wilson Moore's 10-
yard reception from Steiner.
The Day Hops were busy winning the fall Intramural men's sports. Above is

THE GUILFORDIAN
Each team had a long drive halted deep
in the opponent's end in the fourth quarter.
Hunter was intercepted at the 1-yard line
following the W & L touchdown and the
Generals were stopped on the twentieth play
of their drive at the Quaker 13 when Steiner
threw incomplete on fourth down.
For the day, Guilford gained 350 yards
on offense while turning the ball over only
once. The defense held the Generals to 229
yards, forced three turnovers, held the Gen
erals to 14 completions on 40 attempts, and
recorded 6 sacks for 52 yards.
"I was pleased for the seniors," said
Ketchum after the game. 'That is a great
way to go out for them." Of the sixteen
seniors, every one of them was a starter.
They were freshmen when Ketchum came
to Guilford as an assistant coach four years
ago.
"It's a tremendous class," continued
Ketchum, The thing that is special about
them is the closeness they have developed
with each other over the four years. They
were able to find a way to win when talent
wasn't enough because they stuck together."
The seniors will leave with 20-19-1 record,
but went 15-5 over the last two years. The
eight wins tied a Quaker record for most
victories in a season.
