Mars Hill, 28 to 20
with rain thieatening throiighout
the game, a crowd of approximately
2,000 saw Gardner-Web’s Bulldogs
edge Mars Hill 28-20 at the Shelby
High School Stadium Saturday
right.
It was the conference opener for
both teams and each showed that
they will be able to give any team
in the conference a run for their
money. Mars Hill took the opening
Iciclcoff and drove to the G-W 45
yard line before being forced to
punt. The Bulldogs then marched
80 yards to their first touchdown.
Richard Ripley picked up nine yards
on G-W’s first play from scrim
mage, Bill Nix got 15 on the next,
an dFred Ensley went 21 yards on
the Bulldogs tiilrd play of the game.
The remainder of the yardage came
on short bursts into the line until
Richard Ripley plunged over from
the one for his first touchdown of
the season. Bill Nix converted and
made it 7-0, G-W.
Mars Hil roared back early in the
sceond quarter with fullback Bob
Hall doing most of the damage and
finally scoring on a one yard plunge.
The attempted conversion, a run,
was stepped short. It was still G-W
by a 7-6 count.
Gardner-Webb took the kickoff
and brought it out to their own 33
yard line. It was at this point that
the passing arm of Charles Man-
tooth proved to be a definite threat.
On the first play Mantooth con
nected with Pred Ensley for 21 yards
and he would have gone all the way
had he not stumbled as he came
down with the pass. Mantooth then
connected with his big end Roger
(Bones) Gladden for another 17
yards and then to Fred Snipes for
nine more yards to the Mars Hill
31 where Richard Ripley shot
through the line and outraced the
Mars Hill secondary for his second
touchdown for the night. Nix again
converted and it was 14-6 in favor
of the Bulldogs.
After the kickoff Mars Hill moved
to their own 38 but fumbled and
Terry Whisnant recovered for the
Bulldogs. After three plays the Bull
dogs had moved to the Lion’s 21
where Mantooth oalmly threw a
strike to Gladden wiho took off for
pay dirt and there was no stopping
him as he dashed into the end-
zone for the third G-W touchdown
of the evening. The play covered 17
yards and after Nix converted it
was 21-6, G-W.
But Mars Hill was not to be
counted out as they began to move
just before the half ended, with quar
terback, Larry Pickelsimer hitting
Jack Debruhl in the end-zone with
a perfectly thrown pass that covered
25 yards Hall ran to the one foot
line and James Conklin dived over

G-W Bulldogs Halt
Chowan, 21-0
With a ground attack seldom
shown by a Gardner-Webb team the
Bulldogs of Norman Harris unleash
ed a 21-0 victory over the Chowan
Braves, coached by a former assist
ant of Coach Harris, James Garri
son, here Saturday night.
The running of Bill Nix, Fred
Fnsley, Richard Ripley, Terry Whis
nant and Arthur Clayton racked up
304 yards on the ground and 22 first
downs for the Bulldogs. The gains
were generally short 3 and 4 yard
bursts, but they were consistent.
The first time G-W got the ball
they drove from their own 30 to the
Chowan 3 yard line where a back-
field in motion penalty set them
back to the eight where it was third
down and goal to go. In two plays
the Bulldogs could penetrate only
as far as the two as a hard charging
Chowan line tightened and held.
Again early in the second quarter
the Bulldogs drove to the six only
to be stopped agaro by the burly
Chowan line.
Then after Arthur Clayton inter
cepted the first of two passes on the
Chowan 46 the Bulldogs, led by Rip
ley, Ensley and Nix again running
hard, drove to the Chowan one
where Bill Nix plunged over for the
first of the two touchdowns. Nix
then kicked the extra point and it
7-0, G-W,
With only five minutes of the
third quarter gone Terry Whisnant
dived on a Chowan fumble and it
was G-W’s baU on the Braves’ 25.
Ripley and Nix again carried for
most of the yardage to the Chowan
eight where an over-anxious Braves
line jumped off sides on two con
secutive plays maknig it second and
goal on the one. Charles Mantooth
again gave it to Nix who slanted off
tackle for the score. Nix kicked the
extra point in it was G-W 14, Chow
an 0.
After the kickoff Chowan was
a.ble to move to the 19 and >had to
punt. Arthur Clasrton, who played
a great defensive game, took the kick
and headed for the sidelines, and re
ceiving good blocking went from the
Chowan 48 to the six; however, a
clipping penalty nullified the run.
On the first play from scrimmage
Richard Ripley went 1 8yards to the
17, then Nix went for five to the 12
and from there Fred Ensley took a
pitchout, swept around left end and
scored standing up. For the third
time Bill Nix went back and kicked
the bal Isquarely through the up
rights to end the scoring.
Jimmy Moy, the Braves quarter
back was kept in check by the hard
charging Bulldog line. Moy was hit
very hard in the third quarter and
was out for the remainder of the
ball game. His passing in the first
he completed 3 out
My First
Football Game
By Liz Rabon
For years my boyfriend had al
ways gone to the football games, and
I always stayed at home, since I
knew nothing of the game. One
n’ght, though, I decided I would go
along with him.
Well, we were sitting there freez
ing to death and getting stomped
all over when all these hideous look
ing characters came galloping out
onto the field. Well, they had such
good disguise on that I figured they
were trying to keep us from telling
who they were. I looked, and there
came some convicts running out af
ter them. I just knew the sheriff
would come and take them back,
but he didn’t; so I figured they
must have been good boys and had
come to help teU the players apart.
Well, somebody blew a whistle and
goodness—^how they went, just sling
ing and Itnocking one another down
and stepping on and hitting each
other. Well, one tore out of the
crowd, trying to make off with that
crazy looking ball, when everybody
jumped up and took off after him.
Well, they caught up with him,
knocked him down, and then every
one came and fell down on him.
victs came running up there and
took the ball away from him. Then
in a few minutes they all went off
the field, and the orchestra came
marching out and played a tribute
to the poor fellow whom they had
knocked down. Then the orchestra
left and that other group aU came
back, muddy and dirty. Well, would
you believe it—they kept on knock
ing that guy down and taking away
that ball. Finally, he told them not
to do it anymore, or he would quit
playing with them; so one of the
convicts blew his whistle, which
meant they could go home. They all
left to take off their muddy clothes;
and my boyfriend and I left, too.
Fooey, if they weren’t going to play
fair, I wasn’t coming anymore. I
had finished all of my hot dog, any-
and he scored on a one yard plunge
to climax a 59 yard drive. He again
ran the conversion to make it 21-20,
the Bulldogs favor.
Gardner-Webb then stormed back,
with Ripley, Ensley and Whisnant
gaining steadily. Then with the
ball resting on the Mars Hill 22 yard
line, Fred Ensley riped off tackle
and raced the remaining distance
to cross the goal line standing up.
Bill Nix then converted for the
fourth time that night and the sev
enth time this season without a
miss. That touchdown completed
the scoring for the evening.
Offensively Ripley, Ensley, Nix,
, Mantooth and Gladden
big guns. Defensively it
main offensive thrust the Lion’s
had until he was injured late in the
third quarter. The entire line stood
out on defense.
Intramurals
By Larry Mostellerf
Every year the students at Gard
ner-Webb that don’t participate in
the major sports of the college have
a chance to take part in the intra
mural games. The three sports, foot
ball, basketball, and softball, com
pletes a well rounded athletic pro
gram for the college. Last year the
students at Gardner-Webb somehow
lost interest in these sports and they
began to decease. This year let us
make it a good year for intramurals
by your participation.
Football is on the program first
with four teams from Decker Hall,
two from HAPY, and one from the
Day Students. These are the teams
taking part in football:
2nd west ) Decker Hall
2nd Hapy
Day Students
Make an effort to come out and
help your team in each of its games.
Let us all strive to make this year
one of the best for intramurals at
Gardner-Webb.
