Bowl Game
At Home
By ELOISE BUMGARNER
In my opinion I thought the Bowl
ime between Gardner-Webb and
luth Georgia was about the best
me I have ever heard on a ra-
Yes! We heard the game which
was sponsored by some of our own
Boiling Springs merchants. It was
broadcast by FM over Shelby. We
ran around all over the campus for
a week trying to find at least three
FM radios. One for the wings and
one for the parlor in the girl’s home.
The girls started filing into the
parlor of East Wing about seven-
thirty. We thought the announcer
would start giving the names of a’l
the players and the starting line
up at seven forty-five.
It
was seven forty-five and then
announcer said—“The latest
You should have heard
coming from all the
girls.
Then eight o’clock came. Were we
excited! The announcer started tell
ing about the Bowl Game. The first
time Gardner-Webb was mentioned
there arose a shout from every girl
in our parlor. Of course, what did
they expect us to do, weep?!
Miss Starnes joined in with us
and we just yelled so much she
couldn’t hear the ball game. (No
wonder she left at the half!) She
suggested that we pop popcorn
That was a swell idea. During the
game we popped popcorn, ate pe
cans (shells were thrown all over
the floor), drank coco cola’s, ate
peanuts and just about anything
anybody had to eat. (The parlor
looked more like a monkey cage
than anything I know of).
It was just before the half when
the Bulldogs were about to make
a touchdown that we really got ex
cited. We were wringing our hands, I
jumping up and down and what was
the next thing we heard?? The
half!! I
Another exciting time was when j
South Georgia got the ball and were j
running for a touchdown. What were
all the girls saying? “Oh, they can’t,
they can’t!” But—they did.
We still had hope until the very !
last minute of the game. But—when '
the game was over, some of the
girls looked at though they had lost
their best friend and even more of
them cried.
Boys, if you don’t believe the girls
were listening carefully, just ask
them how many times your name
was called!
We are proud of our Bulldogs.
Yes, very proud! They played one
of the best games a team could play.
They pulled together all the way
and I’m sure they will do the same
next year with James Garrison and
Bill Bates as their co-captains. I
Bulldog Cagers Hot To Go
By DARRELL WILSON
Now that football is history and Gardner-Webb struts with
its fine record, another great game, basketball, comes into
the spotlight.
A large squad of some thirty-five prospects greeted Coaches
Wayne Bradburn and Norman Harris at the first basketball
; practice four weeks ago. This squad was carefully observed
and thinned out. Among the nineteen man squad still work
ing for the “big five” positions are four lettermen. These old
timers, but reliable sparks, are Bobby Bush and Bobby Black
burn at forwards and Banks Miller and Bill Stout at the
guards. A new comer, Don Bailey, is breaking in at the cen
ter spot. These five players are being pushed hard for their
positions by Henry Smith, Howard Gamble and Ernie Behe-
ler, three net burning freshmen who [
are expected to see plenty of action , UJ Qf,,

The rumor was this: “Doctor
Washburn has charge of chapel to
morrow and you now what that
neans.” Yes, we know very well
vhat it meant—flu shots!
The news spread rapidly, result-
ng in a gloomy, and anything but
m enthusiastic looking bunch in
ihapel next morning.
On our way out of the auditorium
ve were greeted by the girls in
whjte with their sticking appa
ratus. Slowly, dreading every step,
filed up the aisle.
I’ll bet the needle’s a foot long,”
le a voice from behind. I turn-
to find this information being
offered by a big, husky, guy, who
looked as if a three-foot needle
wouldn’t bother him. He was even
laughing, but I considered it no
laughing matter. And suddenly the
guy in front of me flinched, gave
yell, and dashed out the front door,
was next! I shut my eyes and held
my breath. The nurse grabbed my
and jabbed the needle in so
hard that she might have thought
my arm belonged to a statue, in
stead of to me. I hope she was not
disappointed when it went in. I
opened my eyes, then, and realized
awful ordeal was over,
e door 1 went, as the line
continued until the last student had
iceived a shot. No one was left out
-Doctor Washburn saw to that!
For he had come that morning with
one purpose in mind—to give us all
flu shot, and he effected his pur-
