NOVEMBER 3, 1960 THE PILOT PAGE THREE OATESES TOP NAME CONFUSION AT GW Barbara Jane Oates and Robert Franklin Oates—aliases Bobbie Oates and Bobby Oates—are now fast friends here at Gardner-Webb, as the result of having similar names. The students met the day Bobbie arrived here for the opening of the school term. Not knowing her true identity, Bobby as sisted her with her luggage. A little later he learned her tag, and the confusion has been going on ever since. The two are frequently seen to gether on the campus, often with the remark from friends, “I wonder what devilment those two are up to now!” The Oateses raised faculty eye brows earlier in the school year by going through the receiving line at the student-faculty reception — to gether. They were confused several times for Mr. and Mrs. and for bro ther and sister. Bobbie is from Chester and is a secretarial practice major; Bobby is from York, only 25 miles away, and is a ministerial student. Other students with similar or like names are Alan Merrill Freeman, a pre-forestry student from Ruther- fordton, and Allen Kirk Freeman, a liberal arts major from Lincolnton. Alan knows the joy of receiving that letter that brightens up a day— and the disappointment of turning that letter over to his namesake. a the game—of life at GW, that is, as Bobbie Oates and Bobby o Sandlappers, straighten out the book situation before going to le two students, who did not know each other until registration i^ear, are now the best of friends. Their homes are only 25 miles THE BULLDOG'S GROWL JUST THE FACTS: The BuUdogs, short of the TD but went over for with a 3-1-2 record for the season, as we go to press, are playing better ball than that record indicates. They have out-played every team they have encountered this season. The GW backs have gained an average of 191.2 yards per game, while stiff line play has held opposing teams to an average of 115 yards in the six games that they have played. PASSING HAS BEEN GOOD: Quarterback Paul Brooks has com pleted 21 passes for a total yardage of 362. His favorite receiver has been End Jerry Walker, who has caught 11 passes for 232 yards. Brooks has also completed passes to Ronald Wright, Roy Crisp, Larry Hunsucker, and Smith Nelson. RATINGS: Lees McRae sewed up the conference crown Oct. 22, with a 15-0 win over Wingate. The Bulldogs are presently in second place and ranked sixth in the South by “Junior College Sports,” a journal pubhsned in Grand Junction, Colo. Joe Much, there, has been giving the Bulldogs fair coverage. CRAZY LEGS COXTON: Those who missed the Davidson game miss ed some wild, reverse running by Benny Coxton, fleet Wildcat back. One typical comment: “He must have run all of 50 yards for that five-yard gain.” PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: “The Cleveland Times” has been honoring Bulldogs for outstanding perform ances with the title “Player of the Week.” Those honored include Ken Sanford for his opening perform ance with Chowan, and a second time for his spectacular 201 yards gained against Davidson, including a repeat performance of his 63-yard run against Mars Hill for the tying TD. Sanford was stopped 12 yards re also two students with the name James Hamrick: James Eugene Hamrick from Cltfside, a pre-forestry student, and James Ray Hamrick of Boiling Springs, a pre engineering sophomore. And finally, there are Larry R. Green and J. Lan-y Greene. Larry R. is a pre-law freshman from Ashe ville; J. Larry is an engineering ma jor from Boiling Springs. the score two plays later. Sanford is the leading ground gainer with bet ter than five yards per carry. Co captain Coley Brannock was named for his performance in the first Mars Hill tie. Coley anchors down the right side of the line from his guard position. Jerry Walker, GW’s lead ing pass receiver, won the honor for his receiving in the Lees McRae loss. In the losing effort, Jerry caught three passes for 65 yards in the last three minutes of play. He also spark ed the team on defense. In the vic tory over Wingate, FuUback Roy Crisp was named for sparking the drive for GW’s three touchdowns, scoring one himself in the first quar ter. Crisp carried 18 times for almost four yards per carry. Sharp-eyed Paul Brooks, quarterback, received the honor in the second tie with MH. Brooks passed four times for 70 yards and scored one TD on a quar terback sneak from the one-yard OTHER STANDOUTS: Larry Hun sucker and Bill Smarr are mainly defensive baclcs; however, they are averaging a smart 3.3 and 2.3 yards each. Lloyd Porter was carrying the pigskin for an average of 3 yards in 23 tries before he suffered an injury in the LM game that sidelined him for the remainder of the season. A SUCCESSFUL DOZEN: Coach Norman Harris is now in his twelfth year coaching Bulldogs. He has never had a losing season, although he admits that last year’s 4-4-1 was just about as close as you can cut ’em. At one time last season the team was rated third in the South. STUDENTS SECURE MASCOT “VICTOR I” COSTS $100 Gardner-Webb College now has a living mascot. “Victor I,” bought at the cost of $100, is a fine bulldog pup, almost three months old. Victor was secured through the ef forts of Professor Joe Godwin, direc tor of the Guidance Department. He was presented to the students in chapel last week. His almost solid white coat is marred only by a couple of brown spots on the ears. Mr. Godwin has indicated that solid white bulldogs are so rare as to be almost precious. Without the spots of brown, Victor would be valued at more than $300. Godwin indicated that the gray spots on Victor’s under wear are not to be mistaken for blemishes. The Godwins are at present guard ians of Victor. Godwin stated that Victor is behaving in true bulldog fashion. Mrs. Godwin has already lost one shoe. And his master says that he “can give a throw rug a fit.” Students who wish to show their affection for Victor by petting are asked to rub his face forward, not backward, so as to accentuate the ferocity that is expressed by the wrinkles. BMOC *Big Man On Campus—yea man! He treats the gals to Coke. Who can compete with charm like that. So if you’re 5'0" and a little underweight, remember—you don’t have to be a football hero to be popular. Just rely on the good taste of Coke. Put in a big supply today!
