FEBRUARY, 1952 THE PILOT PAGE THREE Basketball Highlights By BOB MYERS At mid season, Coach Wayne Bradburn’s Gardner-Webb Bulldog cagers have been over the rocks in the routy Caro- linas junior college conference, but racked up three impres sive wins toward the end of the half-mark to make up for three early season losses, and, thus, their loop record stands at five wins and four losses at this writing. Coach Bradburn’s chief problem early in the season was rebuilding, since several lettermen were lost last season, and a host of freshmen joined five monogramers for the 1952 campaign. Bradburn expected a slow start, and also expected his efforts to be more fruitful as the games were reeled off. At the half way point, that’s been the case. After stomping Brevard in the initial loop match, the Bulldogs dropped three circuit bouts on a string, but came back to triumph in three of four other loopsters. Guard Henry Smith, a tricky lit tle playmaker from Stanley who was the kingpin in Gaston county cage festivities for two years, has coped high scoring honors in the first nine games. Smith has tossed in 157 points for an average of 17.5 points per game. Smith, along with Spin- dale’s Don Bailey, who has flipped in 118 points in conference action, have been the number one fresh men sparkplugs. Bobby Blackburn and s Miller, both returning ave turned in neat per- tormances as has Bill Bates, a first, year man from Cowpens, S. C. who worked his way from the bottom into a starting pivot spot. Other boys who have supplied needed reserve power are Forwards Ernie Beheler, Gastonia; Howard Gamble, Miami; James Garrison, Thomasville; and Fallston’s Don El liott, a tall, six foot three incher who has 39 points thus far. Elliott, along with Thomasville’s Tom Beard, a scrappy guard, are tabbed by Bradburn as two of the most cap able reserves. Alex Bromir, a sopho more guard, also helped out in the late January thrust. Here’s a bird’s eye view of the first nine conference tilts reeled off by the Bulldogs, still rated one of the top contenders in the heat ed Central division of the Junior college conference: G-W trounced Brevard 81-56 start the season with a bang.

Sartanburg’s Pioneers invaded on January 26th, and the Bulldogs inaged to hold a slim four-to-five point margin for four quarters and down the boys of Mooney Hamm 70- 61 in a test that saw the scoring divided about evenly among the Bulldogs. Bailey, Bates, Smith, and Blackburn hit the double digits, while Miller hit for seven. Center Hallman, a gangling six-feet four incher, shoved in 27 markers ■ >r the Pioneers. In addition to conference play, G-W split with Cramerton’s semi- ■Eagles in a two.game set and a non-looper to Davidson’s junior varsity. Plenty of stiff competition is in store for the Bulldogs during the Id segment of the season. Such ;rs as Wingate, the top team in conference, Oak Ridge, Bel- ;-Abbey, Lees-McRaie, Spartan burg, and Mars Hill are on the locals’ February slate.

Garland Hen dricks, as it appears in newspapers and periodicals through out our state. Gardner-Webb is well represented by this re sourceful man. We are proud of the work he and his col leagues are doing in the Rural Church Development Pro gram. Let us be in prayer for this group as they render such marvelous service to our state. The following is the third in a ries of articles concerning the peo ple ea!!ed “Baptists.” “WHAT DO THEY BELIEVE?” Concerning the Church: The word ;he New Testament. Sometimes the vord refers to th'e universal church, which includes all true believers. in most cases, it refers to the local congregation, a company of baptized believers in a given com munity, organized according to New '■'iment principles. Baptists re- is unscriptural that conception le church which makes it a world-wide or nation.wide organi zation. There is no such organiza- "on as “The Baptist Church.” There re individual churches which make p the Baptist denomination. 1. Church organization; In organi zation, the church is a spiritual de mocracy. It is spiritual in that it is composed of individuals who have a spiritual experience, those have been born of the Spirit of God. Baptists have always held to the principle of a regenerated church membership. It is a demo cracy in that it is organized and governed by democratic principles. Baptists believe in voluntary church bership and equality of privi- in the church. In the denomi nation of which it is a part, the church is an independent unit. It regulates its own affairs without let or hindrance from any higher organization. In the government r which the church lives, it de ls complete separation of church and state. Church officers: Baptist recog. only two church officers as be- _ scriptural — pastors and dea cons. In the average church other officers and committees have been added, but they are in the nature of helpers. Pastors exercise no au thority save that of leadership. Dea- ms are servants of the church, losen by reason of their fitness for certain duties. By virtue of their po sition, they are leaders in the church, but they have no authority to regu late the affairs of the church. 3. Church ordinances; There are VO ordinances of the church—bap- sm and the Lord’s Supper. These ordinances are not sacraments but symbols of spiritual truths. Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water as a picture of the burial and resurrection of our Lord. It is a symbol of the death of the be liever to sin and his resurrection to a new life in Christ. The Lord’s Supper points back to the death of Christ on the cross for the sins of the world.It suggests that spiritu. ual strength comes from continu ous appropriation of Christ by faith. These ordinances are to be observ ed according to the teaching of the New Testament. Men have no au thority to change either the order or the manner in which these ordi nances were given. To do so is to disobey the Lord and forsake the truths which the ordinances symbo- *Next month: “What Have They LR.C. Speaker At the first meeting of the Inter national Relations Club of the sec- semester, the club had as its . ker, Mr. J. P. Johnson of the Wachovia Bank of Charlotte. Mr. Johnson, now manager of the Wachovia Loan and Installment of- in Charlotte, talked to the club “Credit and its Uses.” He said credit was man’s confidence in man. in with unquestionable charac- ,nd who is financially able to pay back his loan will always be ble to secure a loan. Mr. Johnson told how credit was first started centuries ago as a community service and how it has grown till today 86% of the entire ' 'islness in the country is done in edit. “The duties of a credit man are many and varable,” said Mr. John- k credit man must be a man of unquestionable quality with a good knowledge of the surrounding com munity. He must have a good knowl. edge of laws and be able to say ■’ if it is necessary, a conclusion Mr. Johnson told 31ub of the Credit Outlook for 1952 using these main points: 1. Heavy demand for loans; 2. Spotty trade conditions; 3.
