Gardner-Webb closes out
its football season Saturday
night by traveling to Spar
tanburg for an engagement
with the Wofford Terriers.
The kickoff is scheduled for
7:30 at Snyder Field.
The Terriers, 6-2, boast
the best record among South
Carolina’s colleges, while
Gardner-Webb sports a 2-5
worksheet.
For the Bulldogs, who
play only an eight-game
schedule this year, the sea
son may be coming to an end
too soon. Plagued by mis
takes and injuries much of
the campaign, the ’Dogs
spanked Presbyterian, 18-
10, last week and have be
gun to show signs of matur
ing.
Wofford has lost only to
The Citadel and Carson-
Newman during coach Steve
Satterfield’s second year of
guidance, and record-wise is
the best team on the Bull
dogs’ schedule.
Offensively the Terriers
run the split-back veer, same
as Gardner-Webb. On de
fense, Wofford has a “50”
look, but like Tennessee
plays a stand-up nose guard.
“Wofford is a sound team
overall with good personnel
and execution,” head coach
Oval Jaynes stated.
“They’re capable of giving
you a lot of problems with
the veer, and their defense is
probably the most physical
one we’ve seen. They swarm
all over you, especially the
linebackers.”

Lewis Brown skillfully op
erates the attack. Ricky Sat

Nanny Wins
Women’s Crown
As the intramural football
season draws to a close,
Nanney has won the wo
men’s championship over a
surprisingly strong HAPY
team.
A three-way tie has devel
oped in the men’s league
among Lutz-Yelton A,
Spangler and Myers.
The women’s all-star
game will be played within
the next two weeks. The
men should begin their play
offs next week.

average around the 100-yard
mark per game. When
Brown goes to the air, his
primary targets are wide re
ceiver Lonnie Rector and
tight end Larry Gavin.
Linebackers A1 Clark,
Randy Kelley and Jeff Davis
are the defensive leaders.
The Bulldog defense had
its most impressive effort
against Presbyterian, hold
ing the Blue Hose to only
seven first downs and 162
total yards. Tackle Frankie
Smith, end Monte Walker
and Llinebacker Wayne
Henderson were the ring
leaders.
“I can’t say enough about
the job defensive coordina
tor Ken Sanford and his
staff have done with our de
fense,” complimented
Jaynes. “They have put to
gether a defense that as
played much better than our
record shows.”
Two Gardner-Webb half
backs went over 100 yards
against Presbyterian. Frank
Taylor ran 24 times for 118
yards and a touchdown and
Johnny Walker carried for
106 yards in 13 attempts.
Freshman quarterback Den
nis Stilley completed five of
11 passes for 58 yards and a
touchdown plus ran for
another score.
“We played weU offen
sively and the reason is up
front,” Jaynes said. “Bob
Bolick is the only senior on
the offensive line, and with
out a doubt he’s the best in
the District, if not in the
Southeast among small col-
Gardner-Webb opens its
basketball campaign against
Claflin Tuesday night in
Bost Gym, and the Bulldogs
appear to have all the in
gredients necessary to de
velop into another outstand
ing team.
The Bulldogs possess
good speed and quickness
overall and are perhaps the
of help from freshmen Mark
Classen and Chris Law and
sophomore Ken Earnhardt.
We have the makings of a
great offensive line for the
next few seasons.”

Top Performer on Defense
best group of shooters
Coach Eddie Holbrook has
ever assembled. They have
the size and strength to
match up with most of their
opponents.
The only thing lacking
from last year’s 23-3 squad
is experience. Six seasoned
veterans are missing from
the unit that finished third
nationally, and how quickly
their replacements can ma
ture will determine how far
the Bulldogs wiU go this sea
son.
“We’ll be young and inex
perienced at the start,” ad
mits Holbrook, “but if we
mature quickly and play
well before Christmas, we
could develop into a good
team by the end of the sea
son.”
Sophomore John Pait,
who was the starting point
man at the end of last year,
returns and should provide
good leadership. He is the
lone starter returning.
Other returnees' are 6-5
soph Norman Mukes, 6-6
senior John Brame and 6-11
junior Lester Stinson. Stin
son, a 245-pounder, missed a
good portion of last year
with a broken ankle and
underwent minor surgery
this fall for the removal of a
bone chip. He is not ex
pected to play before Jan
uary.
A good recruiting year
has resulted in a lot of new
faces in the Bulldogs’ lineup.
Red-shirt Dave Borman,
6-7, and freshman Lew
cellent shooters from the
wing position. John Bor
ders, a versatile 6-2 fresh
man, will see duty at both
the wing and post slots.
The inside attack will be
bolstered by 6-10 freshman
Will Franklin, a quick, ex
plosive player who could de
velop into an intimidator.
Carl Martin, an all-region
performer at Wingate last
year, is being groomed as
the high-post man in Hol
brook’s double post offense.
At the point, freshman
Steve Mitchell, a player sim
ilar to Pait, should give the
’Dogs two excellent floor
leaders.
With three tournaments
on tap before the Christmas
break, Holbrook’s young
sters will be given an oppor
tunity to become experi
enced veterans by the New
Year.
Girls Rely
On Speed
And Hustle
Gardner-Webb’s girls bas
ketball team opens its sea
son Tuesday against Claflin
in a preliminary to the Bull
dogs’ encounter, m.eaning
coach Phyllis Littlefield will
soon leam how the ladies
will fare against competi
tion.
“We’ve shown a big im
provement since practice be
gan and I feel we’re capable
of having a good team,” said
Ms. Littlefield. “The girls
have shown a lot of hustle. ”
In early practices, sopho
mores Linda Cody, Pam Hel
ton and Linda Ramseur, jun
ior Sherwin Johnson and
senior Wanda Nantz have
distinguished themselves as
likely starters.
The Lady Bulldogs hope
to captialize on their excel
lent team speed. Ms. Little
field rates their progress on
offense and defense about
even.
“Our weakness is pro
bably in our passing and
man-to-man defense. We
need improvement there.”
Runners Nab Third

Gardner-Webb’s cross coimtry team closed its 1975 sea
son, Nov. 1, with a fine third-place finish in the NAIA Dis
trict 26 meet at High Point.
The ’Dogs placed behind champion Johnson C. Smith and
runner-up High Point. It was the second time the Bulldogs

nition. Johnson C. Smith runners took first and second-

carnival for the children at Shelby’s Northside School.
