Greeting sport fans, this sports
editor commonly known as “Plash
Bulb” Morrow is here to fill you in
the sports picture around the Gard-
ner-Webb campus, O. K. Cut Artist,
enough talk about this boy’s flash
bulb being burned out.
All you football fans may get up
off your knees, the Bulldogs narrow
ly missed their dream trip to the
land of the play actors. The Gard-
ner-Webb lads were edged out of the
bid by Grand Rapids of Michigan.
The Grand Rapids boys will tangle
with Coffeyville, Kansas.
While we’re reminiscing about the
football season, let’s take this oppor
tunity to congratulate Coach Nor
man Harris and Coach James Garri
son on their fine coaching in the
1956 football games. WhUe com
menting on our very capable coach
ing staff, may we direct this question
toward the coaches? How many
pairs of shoes did our mentors wear
out pacing the sidelines during the
gridiron season? Still passing out
the roses, congratulations to Coach
Harris on your smoking seven vic
tory cigars this gridiron season. Let’s
go basketball boys, keep Coach Har
ris’ victory pipe lit.
As we go to the press, the varsity
Basketball quintet has played two
practice games dropping both by
narrow margins. Gaining polish in
every outing, the hardwood boys
should finish the season in the top
bracket. Best of luck gang, let’s suck
’em and go.
The Hardwood gang has five re
turning lettermen. They are; Arn
old Isaacs, Doug Greer, Boby Crew,
Ronald Beane, and Ed Peeler.
Isaacs and Greer are the co-Cap-
tains for the 1956 quintet.
The Monogram initiation is be
hind us. Thank Heavens! For the
information of all those concerned,
you may drop by the business office

ketball campaigrn this season.
and check out a pair of combat boots
to last you for the rest of the year.
By the way, how far did you walk,
Revis? Not saying that you other
guys didn’t have to hoof it. The
refreshments were delicious, thanks
to the prosecutors.
Well, Sport fans that about duz
it for this time. In closing let us
extend to you this wise old saying:
“Keep one eye on the basket and
the other on the baU.”
