December 1.1957 THl PILOT Page Four FROM THE SPORT'S DESK By Dillard Morrow The two Russian Sputniks collided . . . the sun set in the east... Hitler is alive and is in Washington, D. C. . . . and equally astounding, Olsla- lahoma lo;t a ball game. '' Don Miller has lost his voice . . . Paul Cline has never got shot out ' ol the saddle . . . Reavis, Hicks, and Garrett can play golf as good as they say . . . Ping pong is a confer ence sport . . . Everybody likes Miss Odom’s celery . . . More astounding, Pat Mobley lost her voice ... Oh well nothing ever happens around Before I forget let me announce a first in college sports. Jackie Reavis has done it again. It seems like these four pros were out golfing one day. On the third hole Rick sliced into this ditch. That didn’t seem to bother our hero, .however, he got in to the ditch to drive out, but before he knew it he was up to his knees in quick sand. As you know he got out, but not before he had lost his shoes. Showing that ole’ Bulldog spirit, Jackie played the last six holes bare footed in the 50 degree weather. Af ter all that, he still shot a 52. • Did you people know that the early football teams had fifteen players? Shore nuf! Nine linemen; one quarterback; two halfbacks; one three-quarter back; and two full backs. Our dear editor asks . . . “Well, how many are there now? I give up, how many?” Did you know that the first foot ball night game ever played was played under only three lights? One on each goal and one on a pole in the middle of the field. I reckon on a dark and rainy night things sorta got confused. In the near future the Monogram club is planning a faculty-student basketball game. As you know the faculty rolled to a win last year be hind James “Gunner” Garrison and Norman “dead-eye” Harris. The charges of Paul Cline just could not seem to cover Barnett, Washburn, and a sparkplug named Britt. Watch for the coming event. A new gag folding card has these words on the front of the card — “How to Win at Golf?”—On the in side these words stood out—CHEAT. In Parting; Sorry to hear that the little sparkplug. Dean Bridges, al most missed the tournament... Re cently heard that Jerry James is an other Dick Groat! . . . CUT for CUT. An English professor had just given one of his usual tough exams and the studentsiwere looking the ordeal over. The professor smiled to him self and ask&d one of his not so bright students if the test covered the subject thoroughly. The stu dent answered with a nerver-to- be-fcTgotten reply, “Yes sir. much better than the lectures did!” “A press release should be the length of a woman’s skirt — short enough to attract attention and long enough to cover the subject.” I ■think I had better quit, this is get ting too long. All-Conference Football Players The official Western Junior Col lege Conference All - Conference team which is selected by the coach es of the three participating schools consists of 13 players instead of the usual 11. As the result of two ties on the part of the coaches, the All-Confer ence dr«am team was molded into a larger and stronger unit. Since the voting was made Irre- gardless of the boy’s position, the team is made up of four ends, two tackles, one center, and six backs. Only one position placed no players .and that was guard. Gardner-Webb and Mars Hill each placed five boys on the dream team with Lees-McRae landirg three posi tions. Since Wingate Junior College does not enter conference competi tion until the basketball season gets under way, they were ineligible for recognition on the mythical team. Gardner-Webb players on the team include Gerald Freeman, end, Shelby; Jack Anthony, center, Gas tonia; Robert Webb, quarterback. Hickory; Reg Turner, tackle. Wood ruff, S. C.; and Don Miller, half back, Reidsville. Congratulations to all of the Bull dogs; the All-Conference selection was a well deserved honor. Three Bulldogs crashed the dou ble figures as Steve Bollck rifled in 26 points. Bolick was followed in the scoring by Big Bill Beason with 19 points. Bobby Jones hit the hoop for six field goals and the third place in scoring with 12 tallies. Bolick, a newcomer to the Bull dog squad, hit with such accuracy as to make him a strong candidate for conference hohors in the pre- Beason came through true to form as he backed up reports that he was by far the most Improved of the Bulldogs. Beason, a veteran de fensive star last year, proved to many that he is capable of applying the scoring punch. At the end of the first quarter the Bulldogs were resting on a six point lead and at the half they had the game on ice as they led by 45 to 28. At the end of the third quarter the charges of Norman Harris were out of sight as the scoreboard showed 70 to 41 in favor of the home team. G-W Pts. Don Sparrow — 4 Kelly Kee — 5 S. Boiick -L 23 S.

There are several questions that I would like to raise but it seems that my space is runnin-j out. If any of you girls wonder why this article asks no direct question of you, the answer is simple. I asked Mr. Ded- mond to make me 'some and he hasn’t given them to me yet. So it seems that I’ll have to save them until next issue. Some of you m-’ght be interested in knowing that the Winston Coun ty. Peaplckers have quit radio and have started picking peas for Gard ner-Webb. It is now time for me to make that long journey that ends with a plate full of chili beans. This means tl appropriate end- appropriate article, re several I could use. See you next issue.
