After their 19-2 defeat at the hands of the Semi-Pro Gas tonia team, the Bradburn and Harris-coached eleven bow ed to Appalachian’s Jayvees 6-0, whipped North Greenville 21-19, bowed to Gordon Military College 32-7, and spanked Mars Hill 32-13.

Gor- Crawlev's Shopping Center BOILING SPRINGS WHY go else where when you can get it in BOILING SPRINGS Shop in Boiling Springs and watch Boiling Springs GROW The state of Georgia is well repre sented on the G-W athletic field these afternoons, as eight Cracker state natives are either on or man aging the football squad. A ninth member of the Georgia group. Bill Newsome, withdrew from school. Bill Morehead, Bill Mosley, Bobby Nix, Bobby Pettyjohn, and Bob Bush are members of the gridiron squad while Jack Meacham and Donald Woods are the managers, and O. G. Morehead is the trainer. Coach Bradburn can count on three of these boys, Bush, Morehead, and Nix, to be around when basketball season rolls around. MARS HILL VICTORY GOOD MEDICINE All the Bulldogs, both defensive and offensive units, were outstand ing in the 32-13 victory over Mars Hill. Comparing this battle with the 21-19 victory over North Greenville, we find that the defensive platoon is purely a second half ' Greenville scored its nineteen points in the first half, while Mars Hill pushed over their thirteen points in the initial half. The Bulldogs now in a good position to chal lenge defending champion, Rae, for the crown. G-W’s all-im portant scrap with Coach Dickerson’s Bobcats will be staged in Banner Elk Nov. 4. CROWD MAKES DIFFERENCE Anybody who has ever donned a football uniform, and trotted the field for a contest, can tell you fans that rooters make a difference. They can tell you that you can play a better game if you know somebody is in the stands rooting for you. A large group of G- ‘ dents followed the club ti Hill, and the team responded by outplaying the Lions all the way win 32-13. So, come on students, get on the bandwagon, and follow the Bulldogs to Brevard on Oct. 28, Banner Elk on Nov. 4, Davidson! on Nov. 11. They ring down the) curtain on the 1950 season here Nov. 17 meeting the strong West ern Carolina Jayvees, a team which defeated MHC 21-6, and Asheville- Biltmore 21-0. INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL UNDERWAY If you G-W football fans notice another bunch of boys on the op posite side of the football field these afternoons, that is the new Intra mural Football League that has been organized on the campus. Four teams have been entered thus far, with two weeks of the season al ready gone. The teams entered are Second and Pirst Floor-Decker Hall and Pirst and Second Floor-Hug- gins-Curtis. The boys of Huggins Second seem to have set some sort of a record. They haven’t been scored upon in two seasons. DEFENSIVE PLATOON GREAT Coaches Bradburn and Harris have this year what we believe one of the best defensive units in the country. The boys who have the job of holding the opposition are Rudy Wardell, Edwin Jones, Hugh Miller, Bill Toney, Julius Pinkston and John Pierce, Bill Morehead, Charles Howell, Ray Carnes, and Robert Stegall in the line G-W pushed over eight touch downs, made good on four extra points, and added a safety here Sat urday afternoon for a smashing 54-0 homecoming day victory over P. J. C. Gardner-Webb scored aft er about 3 minutes had gone by, and continued the onslaught with an other in the first quarter, 2 more in the second, 3 in the third, and eas ed off with a single six-pointer in the fourth for their lop-sided vic tory, third in a row in Carolinas Junior College Conference play. Guard Charles Howell trapped Scot Fullback Paul Boan in the end zone for the two points in the third chapter. Glenn Pettyjohn, glue-fingered end from Winston-Salem led the touchdown parade as he racked up 3, one on a 45-yard double reverse, another on a 20-yard pass play from Jack Holt, and the last one on a 50-yard end around play. Quarter back James Sullivan, Delvin Huff- stelter, Co-Captain Milton Noblitt and Julius Pinkston, and Bob Bush also scored six-pointers for the lo cal eleven while Bob Smith and Edwin Jones (3) made the points- after with Howell getting two on the safety. The entire Bulldog out fit played great ball. Chuck Mayers and Clyde Parrish stood out for the Scottie club. G-W.’s airtight defense held the visitors to 7 first downs, 22 yards gained through the airlanes, and 62 yards gained by rushing. The Bradburn and Harris-coached G-W crew piled up 11 first downs, and gained 365 yards by rushing plus an additional 95 through the air. Holt completed 7 of 11 tosses. The Gardner-Webbers have now a 3-0 record in conference play. Brevard and Lees-McRae are the two outfits left on the schedule, Brevard will be met this Saturday afternoon at Brevard while the de fending champ Bobcat team will be met in Banner Elk, Nov. 4.
