THE PILOT "Tossing The Pigskin" With Doug Goans Bulldogs Twist Tails Of Bobcats, Win 27-7 By DOUG GOANS Gardner - Webb’s Bulldogs made their Homecoming complete as they trounced the Bobcats of Lees McRae Saturday night 27-7. The Bulldogs definitely regained the offensive thrust they had poss essed at the start of the season. The fleet GW backs ran for a total of 240 yards on the ground. Whatever hopes the Bobcats had for an upset were dispelled during the early part of the fourth period. The Bulldogs had scored once each in the second and third quarters. Then late in the third quarter Al ston Jenkins, the Lees McRae de fensive tackle, fell on a GW fumble on the Bulldog eight-yard line. In three plays they had moved the ball only to the six, but an offsides pen alty moved It to the one where Paul Gibbs, the Bobcat quarterback, sneaked it into the end zone. Paul Stacy, the fullback ran the extra point and it was 13-7 G-W. MOVE BALL WELL Gardner-Webb had moved the ball well on the ground in both their first two touchdown drives with Fred Ensley and Terry Whisnant picking up most of the yardage. However, the Lees McRae defense became tough deep in its own terri tory so the passing arm of Charles Mantooth furnished the first two TDs. The first was a 20-yard toss to Terry Whisnant and Bill Nix kicked the point after touchdown. The second climaxed a 51-yard drive. It was a 10-yarder to Pred Ensley, who literally took the ball away from Don Abee, the defensive halfback. The PAT kick was block ed and it broke the streak of 10 straight conversions by Bill Nix. G-W’s third TD came quick and fast. The Bulldogs had taken a quick kick on their won 24-yard line and moved it to the 48. Prom here Fred Ensley smashed off tackle and by the secondary, receiving a good block from Don Sparrow on the Bob cats 45, for a 52-yard touchdown run. Nix kicked the point and it was 20-7, G-W. The Bulldog’s fourth TD came af ter Don Sparrow pounced on a LM tumble on the Bobcats 22. Richard Ripley dashed the final four yards for the TD. Nix again kicked the point to end the scoring with Gard- ner-Webbs Bulldogs taking a 27-7 victory. Bill Nix, Pred Ensley, Terry Whis nant, Richard Ripley and Don Spar row did a great Job on the ground with Charles Mantooth completing 3 of 6 passes for 55 yards. On defense, it was Curt Bruffey, Ed Lohr, Johnny Wren, John Camp bell, Jeter Wilds, Nix and Whisnant. Late in the game Coach Norman Haris substituted freely and these boys held the Bobcats also. Gary Kilbourne, the Lees McRae kicker, did a great job as he aver aged 37 yards on his punts.
