PAGE FOUR THE PILOT DECEMBER, 1951 G-W Loses Bowl Game ! G‘W Girls Go To High Point The second annual Golden Isles Bowl game, played in Brunswick, Georgia on November 30, featured two of the na tion’s outstanding junior college grid powers, the Gardner- Webb Bulldogs and a strong South Georgia college aggres sion from Douglas. The Tigers, under capable Johnny Grif fith, bested the locals 6-0 in one of the most hair-raising ex travaganzas ever played at Lanier Field in Brunswick. It was the initial setback suffered by the Bulldogs of Wayne Bradburn and Norm Harris, two hard-working men tors who coasted the team through the first undefeated sea son on the record books, led them — to the North State crown and the ^nced nucleus from which to draw Western conference pinnacle. year.

Now Early Sunday morning, December 2, a sleepy but happv and excited group of girls set out for the Green Street Ba- tist Church at High Point. In fact all of the girls went with the exception of a few who were sick or had made plans be forehand that couldn’t be broken. We had been looking forward to this trip for some time, ever since Mr. Stout visited us and so generously made all the arrangements. The time had finally arrived; so we don ned our best clothes and ate break- I fast at six o’clock.

Our bus drivers had been very nice, somehow they overlooked a sign e fourth quarter, Georgia half back Bobby Keel, a light-footed 170- pounder who was voted the most outstanding player of the night, in tercepted G-W quarterback Jack Holt’s pass on G-W’s 35-yard line, setting up the score at that point. The payoff push was climaxed when Tiger quarterback Max Dowis bulled over from the two-yard line on quarterback sneak play. An earlier 33-yard pass from Dowis to end Roy Harriel moved the ball to the two for Georgia, undefeated in junior college play this season with six previous wins. It was the sec ond Golden Isles win for the Geor gia crew who trounced Lees-McRae 24-6 last year in the first annual bowl game in Brunswick. The Bulldogs turned away two very serious threats by the Tigers in the first and second quarters. Bulldog halfback James Garrison intercepted a Georgia pass on the five yard line early in the initial period, thwarting Tiger attempts, and safety man Ernie Diaz later in the second quarter snagged a touch- ' down bound Max Dowis pass in the end zone and moved out to the 20, ’s my aunt. BULLDOGS THREATEN Gardner-Webb turned on the heat offensively in the waining minutes of the second quarter, but the clock beat them to the draw. Taking pos session on their own 20, the locals got off on the longest jaunt of the night. From that point, dashes of 12, 12, and 29 yards respectively by Henry Smith and James Garrison moved the ball to the Tiger 22. Halfback Bobby Bush continued the ground attack with four more yards and Holt hit end Glenn Pettyjohn on the six yard line. About a minute remained in the half as the locals ploughed to the two, where a pen alty shoved the ball back to the seven as the half ended. Defensive end Dee Nanney, guard Joe Cole, tackle Bobby Jones, and tackle Bill Morehead paced the lo cals on defense, while Garrison, Bush, and Smith were the chief groundgainers on offense. Halfback Bobby Keel, halfback Johnny Lipsey, a little All-America back.in high school, and tackle Sam Rigdon led Georgia. The Bowl tilt wound up football at Gardner-Webb this season. The team members were recently honor ed at a dinner, at which time 24 players were awarded monograms, including 12 freshmen, an experi- College Students Meet Your Friends at the COLLEGE SNACK SHOP Hamrick's Cleaners Expert Cleaning and Alteration Of All Kinds G.

Prom then on we slept, sang, and amused ourselves in any way we could find. Someone saw a sign fifteen miles to High Point, so we tried to make ourselves presentable by combing our hair and putting our hats on. We re ceived a hearty welcome and en joyed very much the Sunday School lesson taught by Mr. Stout. There were 2,701 present in Sunday School and the church proposed a budget of $108,000.00 for the coming year. We were all very proud of the song our glee club and choir sang. Prances Rhyne also sang a solo. Then the moment came that we had been looking forward to with great anxiety. They took us down in the basement, and we had a delicious m.eal awaiting us. After we had eaten, they gave us permission to explore and look over the church, or go up town if we wanted to. At two o’clock, we started back. We all had a very nice time but Gardner- Webb would surely look good. Belk-Stevens Co. IN SHELBY Home of Better Values Happy Homes “Happy homes don’t just happen, they are a result of careful plan ning and preparation.” These words of wisdom and truth were brought to the girls recently when Mrs. J. Win ston Pearce, wife of the pastor of the First Baptist Church, Burham, N. C., visited the girl’s home. In her much too brief stay in the home, Mrs. Pearce brought entertaining and very timely and helpful advice on the subject “Love, Courtship, and Marriage.” Mrs. Pearce strongly urged the girls, while still in col lege, to make friends, lasting friends out of the other students on the campus so that in years to come) she can point out these very same people to her children and tell them , of her friendships dating back to j her college days. Today when so many marriages; go “on the rocks” so to speak, it is | wise to take everything into con- I sideration before the knot is tied for all times sake. From advice such as this, Gardner-Webb’s fairer sex will think twice when it comes their time to walk that long aisle toward matrimony. Mrs. Pearce is well qualified to talk on these important subjects. Besides being a pastor’s wife and having three children of her own, she lives in a college community and is able to scrutinize young peo ple very closely and thi-ough many experiences and observations she has reached many conclusions which were brought out in her talks. For many years Mrs. Pearce, the former Miss Winnie Rickert, was State Training Union Secretary for North Carolina. She is much sought after to lead youth groups and con ferences not only in this state but throughout Southern Baptist terri tory. We are very honored to have had such a stimulating personality to visit our campus. Mrs. Pearce’s influence will long be felt in the girl's home.
