VACATION
SIDELINES
Question ? What do the pro
fessors do for sport during
their vacation time?
Answer: We have some who
are professed fishermen.
Question? Who are these
professors, where do they
fish, what do they catch,
who’s caught the biggest fish ?
In an interview with Mr. S.
L. Lamm, Bible teacher, we
gained the following data:
“Where do you fish, Mr.
Liamm?”
“Mostly in the Green River
area near Lake Lure, some at
Lake Lure, Lake James, and
in the Fontana Dam area.
Don’t do much local fishing
though.”
“What is your specialty?”
“Mostly bass and catfish-
ing, although I have done
Eoms trout fishing. When I
was pastoring in Georgia I did
plenty of bass fishing. I
caught about 12-15 bass last
year. One of those was about
a three pounder. Caught a
couple of 10 pound cats several
years ago up around Bryson
City. The odd thing is I caught
one on a No. 6 hook (about as
small as they make them, Ed.)
Once caught a 211/2 inch small
mouth bass.”
“Mr. Lamm, most people
won’t give out their fishing
secrets. What do you catch
them all on?”
“Well for cats mostly mul
let, and I think I caught about
all the bass on a crippled min
now lure.”
“Did you have any amusing
incidents during your fishing
career?”
“Yes, last summer ‘zing’ a
carp took my fly rod and pull
ed it into the lake where we
were fishing! Luckily, though,
^ome friends and I were able
to cast for it and found it.
“Does your wife enjoy the
sport also?”
“No, she’s not much of a
fisherman, though we do en-
.joy a fish fry together.”
We also have it on good
authority that there are sev
eral other fishermen on the
campus. President Elliott is
a good trout fisherman. His
favorite spot is a little place
called “Snowbird” up near
Robbinsville in Western North
Carolina. Prof. W. F. Trout
man limits his fishing mostly
to the local area, near the
mouth of Sandy Run creek,
where he fishes for catfish.
Last summer he tried wading
the Broad River but had little
luck. On a vacation trip to
the coast in June he caught
some shovel-nose sharks and
croakers, the largest was
about two feet. Mr. Trout
man readily admits that he is
not a fisherman of Mr.
Lamm’s stature. “Just for re
laxation,” he says. Another of
the fishing for relaxation men
is Mr. Lawson Allen. He en
joys the trout streams up in
the Smokies.
LONGSHOTS
AND
FLEM-FLAMS
INTERPRETING THE FACTS
!S the sports king-
around Gardner-Webb these
days, especially are the girls play
ing some fine basketball for their
new coach Mrs. Haynes.
They have won their first two
starts, taking Howards Business Col
lege of Shelby 59-27, and outscoring
an all star team of nurses from
Charlotte by 51-34. In both these
games there was some brilliant floor
play by the guards as they fed
the ball down the court to high scor
ers Patsy Greene and Shelia May
berry. Patsy now has an average
of 20 points per game followed by
Shelia with 19. Kitty Logan is the
versatile member of the squad play-
ign either guard or forward at the
discretion of Coach Haynes. Al
together the girls have come up with
a well-balanced offensive-defensive
team which should keep them in the
win column.
Puture games include a game on
January 30 with Shelby High
School, coached by Miss Saranan
Morgan, last years’ G-W coach.
The boys have not fared so well,
lacking in the one ingredient which
will make a basketball cake “rise.”
To get the points you’ve got to get
the rebounds. When you lack height
in these days of break-neck high
scoring basketball, you do the next
best thing: work on fundamentals.
This has been the case with the
Coach Harris boys this season al
though they seem to be knocking
off the rough edges now and get
ting down to some smooth floor play
--both offensively and defensively.
With three conference games gone,
we are sitting on the little end, the
only victory coming by a win over
Asheville-Biltmore. Most of the con
ference schedule still remains, how
ever, and we are still expecting our
boys to come home with their share
of the victories.
There is not anything lacking in
the way of spectator thrills. All
the games have been close with
Gardner-Webb coming up on the
short-end of some real heart-break-
PROGNOSTICATIONS
DEPARTMENT
The ten point lead for Field Day
events held by the sophomores will
be extended to 20 points come the
freshman-sophomore soccer game.
This has proved to be one of the
most rugged of the field day events
in the past and this year anything
could happen. The girls won’t be
left out of Pield Day competition
either. They have on schedule a
volley ball battle and later a fresh
man-sophomore basketball duel.
Much attention should be given to
this oportunity for the sophomores
to clean the platter with several
victories. We predict that George
Barclay will now move to Maryland
since his team only lost to Okla
homa by 7 points. The Maryland
team, coached by Tatum, lost to the
same crew by 14 points.
Who said sports writers didn’t get
ulcers. Maybe it all started from
those point margin losses the Bull
dog basketball team has suffered
but the better half of this column
is laid up. Rumblings from the
baseball giant. Every warm day
there are a few stout-hearted in
dividuals who can be found out on
the field tuning up the arm and
catching a few. The new jackets and
sweaters sure add color to the camp-
Bobby Crews “bummed” up a foot
which should keep him on the bench
for the rest of the season. Bobby
was one of the consistent point get- Church,
ters and wiU be a big loss.
IT'S YOU
It is not money He wants, but men;
Not coin but character;
Not tithes but the tithers;
Not gifts but the givers;
Not yours but you.
One’s sense of active partnership
with Christ is heightened as one
places first in his list of obligations
the one he owes to the Master
through His church.
The Christian prospers as he gives
regularly. The church prospers,
as the Christian is faithful. The
Kingdom of God prospers, as all
Christians bring their tithes and
offerings each Lord’s Day to His
