Tile Bulldogs held three work

workout.s will be devoted to
“I’undamentals.’’
“We know that we hav(* a very
inexperienced group cl men, but
we hope t , make up for this with

only four weeks to get ready for
our trip to Nevvbwrry and there i.^
a lot of work to be done.”
Gardner-Webb will play twe
games before the home opener

Bulldogs will play Samford Uni-
veraity in Birmingham, Ala. on
September 23.
The Bulldogs were hardest hit
by graduation in the defensive
backfield ranks with men such
as Lee Thompson, Tommy Way,
and Tommy Kirk finishing. Litton
must find some corner backs and
linebackers if he is to fill these
big gaps.

of drug use or possession may
apply for a discharge review, H.
W. Johnson, director of the Wirv
ston-Salem Veterans Administra
