FROM THE SPORTS DESK By Dillard Morrow Sports Editor When the game is over, it’s not who won, but how we played the game . . . that could very well be the proper closinir out of another school year. The Bulldogs ha;ve won some, lost some, and a few were rained out. In the scorebook for the foot ball season, the record shows 7 wins and Z losses. The Bulldogs tied Lees-McRae and Mars Hill for the co-championship and had a near miss at the Little Bose Bowl trip. On tne hardwood the Bulldogs took third place in the tournament at Spruce Pine, the highest stand ing of a Bulldog team in a long time. With the entire team return ing with the exception of Ronald Beane, who will be hard to replace, the Bulldogs should prove hard to handle next year. As this issue of the Pilot goes to the press, the diamond dusters are holding a 12-0 conference record. After traveling with the athletic teams this year, I have solved the riddte to Coach Norman Harris’ secret for wirming. Coach’s secret formula is telling the boys to play hard, give it all you have, and when the game is over, shake the other fellow’s hand, win or lose, and start thinking about the next one. Morale, chatter, and team work is the cause of it all. Coach Harris deserves a lot of this praise that is going out, but it would be hard for one so inadequately learned as I to add to his long line praises and ac complishments. However, I would like to add a word of personal thanks to Coach Harris and also, to Mr. John Roberts for giving me the chance to report for the teams I don’t know how this phrase will set with the whole crowd, but I maintain that to really be a part of a school, you have to know what it is to play a game in the stands. In other words, you have to pull so hard for a team that when the game is over, you feel like you played every minute of it. Swimming Pool Opens Old Sol beamed down in all his glory on Friday, May 10, as if he had been given orders to keep the scene bright and clear for the opening of the new swimming pool at Gardner- Webb. The pool was filled with a mass of humanity from opening time at 2:00 till it closed for the first time at 5:00. 'This was not the first time that the pool had been tried, for several of the college boys, had previously taken a swim at some forbidden The new pool has every modem swimming pool convenience; ad joining the pool by a concrete walk way is a small round wading pool for children. The pool will be open from 2:00 till 5^00 Monday through Saturday afternoons. The Boiling Springs community wUl be allowed to use the pool this summer.

Democracy is ours and we must do our part to preserve it even, or should it be “especially”, on the col lege level .On any level of politics, the candidate needs the vote of confidence and the support of those he, or she, is to serve and represent. Have we shown an ex ample of the citizen we will be? Annuals, annuals, everywhere, and not a complaint In sight. Patsy Co* Poston is to be commended for more than meeting the trust of the students who selected her as the Anchor’s editor. It’s a job well done, the mutual pride of all con cerned. The new gsminasium now assumes its majestic shapee. Intereior divi- sioi^ now give the feeling that you’re actually inside that long- needed, much looked - forward - to building. It, when completed, will not only serve its intended purpose, but will be another monument to the lives, efforts, and sacrifices of those who have made it possible. We, as students, when we view knd realize what is happening about us as Gardner-Webb is in the midst of its great expansion j)rogram— can know that we won’t be and haven’t been attending a “dead” school, and that it is becoming one of best equipped to be found any where. As you take that afternoon swim, can you disagree? Hmmmm, in a case like that, who wants to? THE PILOT G. W. 4—MARS HILL 0 In the first game of a twin bill with Mars HiU, the Bulldogs racked' up their fifth win as they blanked the Lions 4-0. j Floyu vviignt hurled a neat two- hitter as he gave up two singles to the Lions. In this tilt, only one Lion could reach second base. However, the Bulldogs could col lect only four hits for themselves, but it was enough to score four runs. All the Bulldog hits were singles with the exception of the home run by Gary Cannon. No men were on as Cannon unloaded his John Tyner and Carroll Wright collected the hits for the Lions. Tyner got his in the fourth and Wright connected in the seventh. The Bulldogs committed two er rors and the Lions matched this total of bobbles. G. W. 6—N. G. 5 Ten wins and no losses! The Bulldogs had to come from behind to edge North Greenville Tuesday, May 6, to the slim margin of six to five. The Widows struck hard and fast as they scored three in the first and two in the second to complete their tallies for the day. Wilton Daves gained his fifth win as he came on in the second with the Bulldogs trailing four to two. Wyman Hamrick was the starter, but had to be relieved in the second after giving up four Hamrick gave up four hits and Daves gave up three.

Quick was the losing pitcher as he came in in the fifth with the score tied at .five all. Hiott and Snipes led the Widows at the plate as they collected two hits each. Both collected home runs as they accounted for all the Widow runs in the first and second. A pageant is to be presented. That’s right! And retiring Pilot edi tor Bill Kincaid is the self-acclaim ed star. In it, he is a carrier-boy for the (?) Times. Outsiders have been allowed no sneak previews, not even nosey reporters, so it’s the guess that the suspenseful presen tation will be worth waiting for. This pageant will be the third of the four - phased celebration of Gardner-Webb College’s Golden An niversary. Margaret’s tally sheet on the number of diamond recipients has a new addition — her own. Looks like her statistics paid off.

Bulldogs Hold 12-0 Record At the last moment before the Pilot goes to press, The Sports Desk w^ informed that the Bulldogs had a 12-0 record. Lees McRae forfeited the twin bill with the Bulldogs that was to take place May 10. The Bulldogs have cinched their fourth championship in the past five years. Let’s aU congratulate the Bull dogs individually as we see them on the campus. Also, let’s all show our appreciation and congratulate Coach Harris for his successful year in all the sports. We have had the greatest teams in Gardner-Webb sporting history this year. Other Bulldog teams may have had better records, but all in all, this year has been the greatest. In other words, there may have been greater, but I doubt it. With only two games remaining, the Bulldogs are a high favorite to have a perfect season—we’ll have to wait and see though. As this is the last issue, let me thank all you readers and let me leave With you this sincere hope, that you have enjoyed articles from The Sports Desk. Also, a word for the man with the ambition to write sports for the school next year, I would like to give some advice. First, take the job if you have your heart in the game and always remember if you can’t play sports, at least be one. Second, take the job if you in tend to give it your best and the G.

Third, as for extrinsic rewards are. concerned, the reward is com paratively small, but as for as in trinsic gains yOu will be the weal thiest man on the campus.
