and an excellent coaching staff and it
also has o good academic
reputation."

go," added Gore.

This season Gore led the Trojans
(12-7) both at the plate (.339) and on
the mound (2.44 ERA) while striking
out a career-high 107 batters. Gore
finished with a 7-5 pitching record
while being named team most
valuable player.
Gore helped lead West Bruaswick
with a 9-1 record his junior year as
tlit- Trojans won a school-record 19
games against three losses. Gore
struck out 88 and finished with a
career-low 0.86 ERA as the Trojans
won their second Three Rivers Conference
championship.
At the plate, Gore finished third in
batting witli a .354 average including
22 RBIs.
Gore went a perfect 8-0 on the
mound as a sophomore with a 2.26
KKA and 59 strike outs. He also batted
at a .233 clip and was named West
Brunswick's most improved male
athlete as the Trojans won their first
Three Kivers Conference baseball title
in eight years and advanced to the
state playoffs.
(tore also quartcrbacked the Trojan
football team his junior year and
played at both offensive and defensive
lines as a senior.
Gore was also recently named recipient
of the William S. Dosher
scholarship. The award is presented
annually by the Southport physician
to a graduating senior from
Brunswick or New Hanover County.

Mann graduated from Duke in 1927
when he became the school's fulltime
S.l.D. During Mann's years at
Duke, the legendary coach Wallace
Wade guided the Blue Devils to nations!
prestige during the 30's, 40's
and SO's. Mann always considered
Wude to bo the greatest Duke coach
of all time.

is mimed In honor of Wade, in 1981 Ihe
new press and media box (the Ted
Mann Media Center) overlooking the
field was named in honor of Mann's
years of dedicated service to the
university.
It is ironic that both names, with
such tributes paid upon them, will
forever Ik' visible in Duke University
athletics.
When September rolls around it
will certainly tie strange, yet sad, for
University officials, followers,
players and fans, to kick off another
Duke football season without Ted
Mann, one of the most loyal Blue
Devils ever.
