wg, In an attempt at a dazzling premier for freshman coach Carmen Palladino. the 1985 Tiger squad began this season in a bang. Despite high preseason expecta- tions and encouragement gained from the first two games, the Tiger squad ran into motivational and confidence problems. The problem seemingly started with the home opener against Guilford College. The Tigers racked up two wins against Samford University C27-141 and West Virginia Wesleyan with the impressive play of quarterback Robbie Waldrop who threw 53 passes for 433 yards and five touchdowns. i ' I Q? Football Although in the third game of the season the Tigers seemed to dominate the game, Guilford used the ffrevenge factor effectively. The Quakers had suffered a 41-17 defeat at the hands of the Tigers only last year. A last-second interception at the Quaker 32, en- abling Guilford to run the clock out, gave Hampden-Sydney College's Wal- drop a chance to boost his seas0n's totals to 46 completions in 79 attempts for 549 yards overall. All-O.D.A.G. rtmner David Kelly rushed for 89 yards in 22 carries in the losing effort while runningback Willie Fobbs gained 68 yards in 19 carries, putting his season average at 5.9 yards per carry. The one-sided performance was de- noted on the stat sheet. Guilford passed for 128 yards and rushed for an additional 98 while their scoring drives took three plays and lasted 43 seconds. Emory and Henry proved to be too much of a match for the Tigers. The Tigers took a 31-10 beating at the hands of the Wasps. Waldrop was injured ushering in a way for freshman John Rose to break into the lineup. Waldrop left the game after throwing one interception along with one TD. fcorzlzlzuea' onpage 162 Sports 1-I On a hot fall a breather ILS' welcomed Qy ojensive tackle Brett Bennett the GuzYj?zra' game, wlubh H-SC lost, I 7-15.

Homecoming vvas not as successful as the Tigers had hoped. A 32-30 loss to the Washington and Lee Generals put a damper on the homecoming fes- tivities. The big story on the WSCL game vvas. ironically enough. the Gen- eral's Weaver. vvho gained 173 yards vvith 28 carries and managed to score 5 T.D.'s. Another factor key to the Tiger loss came from the inability to puntx Hampden-Sydney College punted 6 times for a 24.6 yard average vvhile WSQL averaged 37.-1 yards per punt. Combine these factors vvith the fact that the Tigers turned the ball over 41 times and the loss becomes inevitable. Against Maryville the Tiger defense had a field day vvith defensive end Chris Hughes having 3 tackles and safety Pat Slifka assisting in 15 tackles. 426 D0ug.lfadd0.1' and 365 Rirhie Davzls assist in a tackle.

In the 26-7 effort. the Tiger offense featured the running of David Kelly vvho gained 133 yards on 2+ carries Qcomplete vvith tvvo touchdovvnsl. Coming off the vvin against Mary- ville. the Tigers had a less than impres- sive performance against Gettysburg. After turning the ball over seven times. the Gettysburg Bullets managed to pull out a 28-1+ vvin over the Tigers. The only Tiger bright spot vvas the rushing of David Kelly vvho managed to gain 102 yards on 22 rushes. After the loss to Gettysburg. the Tigers managed to hold off Sevvanee for a 38-21 vvin. in the maulling of Sevvanee. tailback David Kelly gained 106 yards vvhile Chuck Arrington snagged 3 passes in the effort. The Hampden-Sydney-Bandolph- Macon game. billed as the oldest rivalry in the South. proved to be an unfortunate climax to a rebuilding sea- son. The Tigers made a noble attempt, but it turned out to be unsuccessful. Four players were named to All- O.D.A.C. They vyere: Chip Umberger Q5 interceptions. 3-1 solo tacklesj. Mike Sharp Qin on 87 tackles. 6 quarterback sacksl. Chuck Arrington C40 catches, 6 touchdovvnsl and Brett Bennett Second team All-O.D.A.C. vvere: Pat Kane, Kimball Bradley.
