Daily Task
By DILLARD MORROW
There has been so much In the
past issues about Morrow getting
his two cents worth in late so I
thought that it would be only right
that I put up what you might call
an excuse.
On a normal day, things usually
start out like, well maybe every
thing will go pretty good today, but
they usually end witji someone
hunting me to tell me about some
thing I forgot to do.
Say we had a ball game today.
After the ball game, my end of the
deal begins with me calling three
newspapers about the game. After
calling the game in, the next task
is to write the ball game up for at
least three newspapers. Everything
goes pretty well until the next day;
It usually comes up that I got in
volved in a bull session the night be
fore and didn’t get my write-ups
ready and then the axe falls.
To make up for my laziness, I
have to write the game up at din-
G-W 6 - SJC 5
The Gardner-Webb Bulldogs kept
the ball rolling as they traveled to
Spartanbiu:® Junior College to
down the Pioneers to the tune of
6 to 5. Brilliant fielding and fine
relief work by Wilton Daves brought
the Bulldogs through on the long
end. The score was all tied up
throughout the latter part of the
game, but the Bulldogs broke loose
in the big seventh to tally the de
ciding run.
Floyd Wright started on the hill
for the Bulldogs, but ran into trou
ble as the Pioneers tallied two un
earned runs In the second. Daves
scored his first victory of the sea
son for the Bulldogs.
Bulldog stlckmen came through
in fine form as they slugged out ten
hits to the Pioneers six. Steve
Humphries, Floyd' Wright, and
Jackie Reavls collected two hits
apiece for the Builders. Humphries,
collected a triple and Wright slug
ged a double on the left field wall.
Fowler led the Pioneers at the
plate as he rapped out two hits in
five trips to the box. One of his
hits was a home nm that accounted
for two of the Ploner runs.
Wright and Daves coiild get only
four men on strikes and three
Ploner pitchers got eight Bulldogs
by the strike-out path,
ner, while brushing my teeth, get
ting, thrown out of class for not
paying attention, and in general
just getting the axe.
Oh Yes! I have classes too.
It has been figured out that a
student should spend two hours
■studying for every hoiu- in class.
Well I figure that’s 10 hours. Two
hours for eating, that’s essential;
ball games last about three hours;
spend ‘four hours writing ^ticles,
don’t get the wrong impression, I
do manage to kill about three hours
a day Just answering fan mail, dims,
and counting money which is usual
ly about enough to buy a peps! and
a moon pie.
Everyone has problems and I’m
not griping. My task is the great
est, being with all the athletic teams
and trying to let the people know
about them. I just wanted to let
these people that go to bed at ten_
o’clock know that they’re lucky.

The Gardner-Webb Bulldogs won
its third straight conference win as
they downed North Greenville Jun
ior College 9 to 5 at North Green-
viUe April 16. The Bulldogs staged
a five run rally in the top of the
ninth to put the game on ice. Trail
ing by one as they came up in the
big ninth, the Bulldogs came through
with five runs on three hits in the
big inning.
James Huey started it off as he
■singled to left. Steve Humphries
came through in the clutch as he
singled Huey home to tie up the
ball game. Not through, Floyd
Wright singled; Gary Caimon was
walked intentionally to load the
bases; Paul Roberts singled two
runs home. Cannon scored on a wild
pitch and Roberts stole home to
complete the Bulldog scoring.
Max Evington started on the
mound for the Bulldogs, but was
relieved by Daves in the bottom of '
the fifth after doing a creditable
job. The ball game was knotted at
four all when Daves took over the
mound chores.
Paul Roberts led the hitting for
Gardner-Webb as he tallied three
hits in five tries. Roberts was cred
ited with five RBI’s and scored once
himself. One of Roberts’ knocks was
a triple. Arnold Isaacs banged a
double to round out the extra base
hits.
Three men collected two hits for
North Greenville; Hiot, Snipes, and
Hooper. Hooper proved to be the
big stick for the Spiders as he
drove across three runs in the losing

four while Stokes struck out nine
men. The Spiders could manage on
ly eight hits while the Bulldogs
collected nine hits.

DESK

Baseball is here in force and the
Bulldogs have started the baseball
wars proper deluxe. The Harrlsmen
have took their first three confer
ence tilts. Maybe, who knows they
might go all the way—here’s hop
ing.
Figures to be seen around the
horn this season will be “Waco” at
first; Huey at second; Ike at third;
Canyon, meant Cannon behind the
plate. In the outfield, we will see
Reavls, Roberts, and Humphries.
On the mound Wilton Daves has
taken two wins and Wyman Ham
rick has tossed one victory for the
Bulldogs three-and-nothing record.
Cody Forrester, Max Evington and
Floyd Wright round out the mound
staff.
“Don’t mind the one”, “C’mon
Babe, you can do it”, “You can do
it, you done proved it”, “Way to
rock in there, kid,” and Hal Hughey’s
—You’re the boy littlehitwaytotos-
youretheone—something like that—
all are familiar sounds as the hust
ling Bulldogs take to the diamond.
It’s rumored that there’s to be
another one of them Monogram club
initiations, well good. Mighty proud
to be on the refreshment committee
this time and its no trouble at all.
Don’t sweat it men, it’s nothing.
Reminds me of the time this
gaUant second basemen had a roimd
or two with this here towering op
ponent over a close play at second.
Well one word led to another and
as Shakespeare would say they got
involved in fisticuffs (a fight), nils
big opponent Imocked this not too
little second sacker down and said,
“Well are you going to get up or
are you gonna lay there like a
mouse”. This little second baseman
replied, “If its all the same to you.
I’ll just lay here”.
It was funny at the time!
At this point since this is the
only way I have to tell the party
that was referred to in the last issue
of the Pilot, let me state that I had
no fore-warning or knowledge of
what was printed. It was like this
when this daddy went to class the
next morning, I got a look that
would have melted a rock much
less a snowball. That’s a .fact or
there ain’t a cow in Texas.
All kidding and explaining aside,
let’s get back to baseball and sports
in general. We have a winning
team ,so let’s all get out to see the
Bulldogs—They need YOUR sup
port. There have been good crowds
out at the games, keep up the good
What G-W Has
Done To Me
By NOSMO KING
Well, here I am again—back at
the old typewritter.
Since I’ve taken time off from my
chemistry, I may as well tell you of
the things that have happened here
at Gardner-Webb.
In the course of my studies here
at Gardner-Webb It was inevitable
that I have a class under Mr. Law
son Allen. So I enrolled in religious
ed. The only way that I ever passed
the course was to call on his daugh
ter, Louise, several times.
After I had passed religious ed.
and started looking for a new girl
I met Oordie Hardin, and thought
that I’d get her on one of her many
rebounds. It seems, however, that
Reid Armstrong is a better dribbler
than I.
I was interrupted while studying
the other night by Lawrence Math-
eny. It seems that Matheny wanted
to move, and while he was himt-
ing a new roommate his neighbors
helped him move. Matheny said
that he didn’t mind the help that
they gave him in moving but he
didn’t like the auctioning of his
clothes that went on in his absence.
I must rush on through this ar
ticle because I am leaving school.
I’d also like to warn 'everyone else
too before the evacuation begins.
You see I lost a quarter today and
I am one of the many who believe
the tale about Mr. Vosecky’s nickel.
For the benefit of those who say
that Gardner-Webb puts sports be
fore education the author wants to
point out that instead of the alumni
buying Coach Harris a Cadillac the
business students bought Mr. '
Vosecky a Plymouth.
work and school spirit.
No news is good news, I always
heard; So as to keep the readers
happy I’ll go, but before I go let
me leave this reminder—^Let’s not
have this on the scoreboard—^No
runs; no hits, no errors; and none
left on—COME OUT AND SEE THE
BULLDOGS IN ACTION!
