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

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

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,

the second quarter snagged a touch- '

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.

By the time we got back

made a few touch-ups, someone

us long to get started. When it got, ways remember, because we had an
light enough, we had morning watch unforgetable experience,
on the bus and ended it with sent
ence prayers. 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.

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.
