PINKSTON MADE IT
Julius Pinkston, 5’10” lad from
Fayetteville, brought distinction
himself and to the Gardner-Webb
campus when
0 the
Junior College a
During the past
scored 13 points for the second place
Bulldogs. He often played defensive
as well as offensive football. Seven
of his points came on the receiving
end of Jack Holt pass while he roar
ed through to block a punt in the
P. J. C. contest, pick it up and race
50 yards to pay territory. Thus, even
though, it’s a little late, we want
to offer our congratulations to Pink
ston for gaining the honor.
Oak Ridge, Wingate, Pfeiffer,
Mars Hill, Spartanburg, Abbey, and
the other clubs in the Carolinas
Junior College Conference may have
their individual stars such as Jack
Powell, Neild Gordon, Phil DeTurk,
Buck Hallman, and Garth Doyel,
but the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs
have the best all-around team in the
circuit. Where else around the loop
can you find a starting five to cop
with G-W’s? With Barrow and Bush
at Forwards, Trammell at Center,
and Homesley and Miller at Guards'
the Bulldogs have won eleven of
sixteen league scraps. Only Mars
Hill, Lees-McRae, and Wingate can
produce starting fives to cop with
the ability of the locals. MHC has
Roberts and Dowel at Forwards,
Moore at Center, and English and
Ruby at Guards. The pennant-win
ning Bobcats have Stout and Reid
at Forwards, Bellmore at the pivot,
and Moseley and Smith at Guards.
Wingate, the lone unbeaten team in
the J. C. loop has Floyd and Pigg
at Forwards, Gordon at Center, and
Musten and Hawkins at Guards. Ro
berts, Doyel, Moseley, and Gordon
seem to be the high men in the scor
ing columns, but the others can hit
with almost equal ability.
For about five of the Bulldogs’
have all hit in the double figures’
column.

Big Three on Scoring Parade
Tom Barrow, J. C. Trammell, and A1 Homesley topped the

Forward from Mayodan, tallied 113 field goals and 52 free
tosses for 278 points (224 in conference play). Trammell, star
pivot man coming from Shelby, has tallied 256 points (105

Trammell meshed 219 in league play while Homesley canned
218. Bob Bush scored 198 points (148
