A standout at two different positions for the Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team, Lorne Guild earned All-America honors three times during his career at Homewood. He also was a standout lineman on the Johns Hopkins football team for three years.
Guild came to Johns Hopkins as an attackman and garnered Honorable Mention All-America honors as a sophomore, when he led the Blue Jays to a 7-2 record.
His first season was just the beginning however, as he went on to earn First Team All-America honors as a midfielder as a junior and senior, when JHU went a combined 19-1. In 1932, Guild led Hopkins to an 11-0 record and the USILA National Championship.
As USILA Champions in 1932, the Blue Jays were selected to represent the United States against Canada in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The U.S. defeated the Canadians, two games to one in the best-of-three series and played in front of an estimated 150,000 people over the course of the three games.
In addition to his exploits on the lacrosse field, Guild was a key member of the Johns Hopkins football team as well. As a senior, he helped lead Hopkins to a 6-2 record after the Blue Jays had won just six games in the previous three seasons combined.
