HANGS UP CLEATS—With many a pat on the back after the Mars Hill game, Ed Durner, first-string end for the Bulldogs, was forced to give up football due to knee injuries. In addition to leaving a uniform that will be hard to fill, Ed is carrying the best wishes of the student body and the team. Here's hoping that come next season, he will be able to return to action. JOE HARRELL, BOB CLINE HANDLE CAPTAIN CHORES BLUE RIDGE MEETS A-B ON SATURDAY The Bulldogs, fresh from a vic tory over Mars Hill last week, will play their first non-conference battle at Memorial stadium here Saturday night at 8 o’clock against the Blue Ridge prep eleven. The visitors are a prep school, true, but they lost a close one to Gardner-Webb last week-end and those who regard the game as a pushover for the home team should remember that they de feated the Gardner team by two touchdowns in a close contest. COACHES COMAN and Woody are looking forward to having both Jack Milbee and Jesse Jajaie back in the lineup for Saturday’s game and are praying for the absence of the injury jinx in prac tice sessions this week. Should the Bulldogs take this game, it would give them five straight victories and they have yet to come out on the short end of the score. This is an amazing record for a first-year team and reflects much credit on coaches and players alike. In addition to goin gafter a vic tory, the Bulldogs will be after a higher score, having failed to racK up a score of more than two touch downs in any one game. So far, the Bulldogs have pro vided fans with no end of thrills; in three of them last minute touchdown runs by members of the A-B squad. Sports Chatter School Spirit For a team that has given our school such a great performance on the gridiron, we students sure have let them down. In all the cheering that has been heard one could hardly believe that Ashe- ville-Biltmore has an enrollment of some 300. If we like to have winning club then we should stand behind the boys. They will take the beating on the field and love it if they felt that each and every member of the school is rooting for them. Armchair Athletics (Know your sports)???

By Ray Charbonneau A few days before the Ashe- ville-Biltmore Bulldogs took to the field for the first game against Gardner-Webb, they selected two outstanding players, Bob “Chuck” Cline and Joe Harrell to serve as co-captains for the coming season. During the all-victorious first four games, both have done their jobs well. Bob managing things up front from his tackle position and Joe directing backfield activities from his quarterback spot. IN ORDER that the student body might know these boys a little better, a sportswriter has gone a little deeper into the per sonal life of these two athletes and herewith brings them to you. Bob, although born in States ville, is really a son of Asheville, his parents having been in the former town on a short visit when he first saw the light of day on January 27, 1927. His athletic career began early —at Newton grammar school. Go ing through the usual growing pains and never allowing anything to dampen his love for sports. Bob entered Lee Edwards high in 1942, where his passion for football led him to gridiron stardom as tackle and fullback. CLINE'S LEADERSHIP earned him the honor of Co-Captain of the 1944 Maroon squad and in that year, was named to the All-State team for his outstanding play. High school days over and a war on hand, Cline enlisted in the Navy and was with this branch of service for 14 months. He launcii- ed his college career here soon after discharge and is majoring in business administration. Joe was born in Asheville in August, 1926, and also came up through the rank and file of the City educational system, learning his football at Vance elementary school before entering Lee Ed wards. DISPROVING the theory that a football player is at times a little short of “gray matter”, Joe made good grades throughout his school career and like Cline, left a uniform at Lee Edwards that will be hard to fill. His best year was in 1943, when he played in the line and backfield for the Maroons and earned the distinction of being appointed to an All-State position by a Greens boro newspaper. Also a navy man for two years, Joe entered Asheville-Biltmore in preparation for a degree in busi ness administration. A-B FOOTBALL SQUAD DOWNS LION ELEVEN In the game of the year so far as rivalry is concerned, Asheville- Biltmore’s Bulldogs stopped Mars Hill’s rise to arms and ruined a Hillian Homecoming last Satur day, 12-0, with Horace Patty de lighting A-B supporters with an 87-yard touchdown run in the final minutes of play. THE BULLDOGS took a 6-0 lead in the second quarter and stopped the Lions’ touchdown drives cold in the second half to run their victory string to four straight without a loss. Cecil Roberts plunged over for the first score on a beautiful 12-yard run. The entire Bulldog squad per formed well, but one big lad re ceived more pats on the back than any other, for Ed Durner was forced to hang up his cleats for good after the battle at Mars Hill. Ed has been fighting a knee in jury all season, and has been ad vised to give up the sport. IN PREVIOUS games, the Bull dogs stopped Lees-McRae, 12-6; defeated Brevard by an identical score, and took the opening game from Gardner-Webb, 13-0. In all four games, playing the more formidable foes in the con ference, the A-B squad has pro vided many a thrill for gridiron fans hereabouts. In these first four games, no less than three long runs have been chalked up by Bulldog backs with little time remaining in the game. Alger Rainwater intercepted a pass and ran it back 95-yards against Gardner-Webb, and Patty saved the day once before, hav ing ran a kick back 67 yards to give the home team a slim 12-6 win over Brevard.
