Biltmore this year. On November 22, the Bulldogs put the lid on the
’47 season. The results may be found in the record book but the

When the call went out in the
middle of September for players,
some 35 men put in an appear
ance. None of the men knew the
coaches nor their style, and the
coaches knew even less of these
athletes. These men wanted to
play the game, the coaches want
ed to have a winning squad and
after three weeks of working out
the stiff joints, the Bulldogs were
ready to take on the opposition.
This came in the opening game
with the Gardner-Webb team.
After a hard fought game Ashe-
Bilt. emerged the victors by the
score of 13-0.
The Bulldogs had started and
there was no stopping them until
they had run their string to five
wins in a row. On the 27th of
September, Brevard was the vic
tim, the score 12-6. Next came
the Lees-McRae eleven who fell
by the score of 13-6.
THE FOURTH STRAIGHT win
came at the expense of the Mars
Hill Mountain Lions, 12-0. Vic
tory number five was the soft
spot for the Bulldogs. In this
game the Blue Ridge School for
Boys went down by the score
of 37-0. Then the first real
road game proved too much for
the boys and dog-tired they were
held to a scoreless draw by Pres
byterian Junior College. On Oc
tober 30 in a home game, the Bull
dogs returned to the winning
column, making it their sixth win
of the year. The Catawba B team
fell by score of 19-13.
By this time the A-B squad had

DOCTOR OSCAR IVANISSE
VICH, a man of brilliant mind
and of a magnetic personality, ap
plied a moral principle: “Do unto
others as you would have them

relations between nations. As ex
amples of nations now existing in
social harmony. Ambassador Ivan

in the United States the highest
standard of social life ever
known.
Doctor Ivanissevich aded: “This
country (United States) has at
tained its present stage of devel
opment under the sign of toil and
liberty, and from the political
standpoint its institutions are, in
very truth, the most complete ex
pression of democracy.”
DOCTOR IVANISSEVICH des
cribed the present position of Ar
gentina as the “Third Position,”
saving:
“In this maner we shall perfect,
the copitalistic economy which
has furnished the most outstand
ing manifestations of progress,
