October 23, 1964 THE PILOT Page Three Bulldogs Face Ferrum In Homeccming Clash Hinsdale’s Observations WE LOST, BUT WE'RE A MUCH IMPROVED TEAM Even though we lostour last football game to Chowan Col lege, we fielded a greatly im proved Bulldog eleven. Chowan was forced to punt once more than Gardner-Webb and we outrushed them by four yards. Part of the difference came as the Braves outpassed us and took advantage of a fumble deep inside Bulldog territory. Two new faces showed bright ly in our defensive line Satur day as James Bird of Ellenboro and Larry Lauderdale of Miami, Fla., played a superb defensive tilt. Bird was in on numerous tackles and Lauderdale not only played well defensively but blocked a Chowan punt which was recovered in their end zone by Bill Seel for a Bull dog TD. Let’s hope Lauderdale and Bird continue the good work. Though the final score was 9-6, the score was 7-6 until the final 17 seconds of the game. At this time Gardner-Webb was forced to go for the long pass plays and Wil'is Burkett was caught in his own end zone for a safety. FERRUM HAS 2-1 RECORD Ferrum College of Ferrum, Va., brings a 2-1 mark to Blan ton Memorial Stadium Oct. 24 for our homecoming encounter. We have a 1-3 mark going into the game but we feel the law of average is on our side as we play at home and with a steadily improving football NOTICED AROUND I noticed Sam Franklin and Gerald Mathis enjoying the fruits of being “most outstand ing” in the Chowan game. They were eating steaks at the cafeteria. It’s a shame Mr. Hol comb doesn’t give a steak to the MVS (Most Valuable Sports- writer).

H PATCHING UP — football play ers is an everyday chore for Johnny Burt, trainer. Who hopes Rarity Found On G-W Sideline By JIM HINSDALE (PUot Sports Editor) Johnny Burt is somevi"hat of an oddity. He is a man on the sidelines who doesn’t desire to get into the action. A freshmen student, Johnny is trainer for the athle tic teams and his ambition is to be a professional trainer. The Winston-Salem lad at tended North Forsyth High School where he was head man ager and trainer in his junior and senior years. He is studying a liberal arts course at Gardner- Webb. Serious about his chosen vo cation, Johnny has already stud ied under A1 Proctor, head trainer at N. C. State College. He has also attended North Carolina Athletic Association clinics at Greensboro where he received the N.C.C.A. Training Certificate. Along with these qualifications, add a graduate certificate from Cramer School in athletic training and you come up with one of the better student trainers in the state. Johnny, who is also on the annual staff, plans to attend the University of North Caro lina after leaving Gardner- Webb. His aim? To continue 'working as a trainer and then to go on and study under a pro fessional football trainer. We wish him luck. REGION 10 JUNIOR COLLEGE STANDINGS League Overall Team W L W L Ferrum 2 0 5 1 Lees-McRae 2 14 2 Gardner-Webb 12 13 Chowan 13 3 4 First Victory For Red & Black By JIM HINDSDALE SPORTS EDITOR Gardner-Webb College Bull dogs tasted victory for the first time in 1964, defeating Lees- McRae College 14-0 in Banner Elks Saturday. It was I^es-McRae’s first Re gion 10 loss and they dropped from first place as a result with Ferrum College taking over the top rung. Ferrum downed Chow an College of Murfreesboro 10-7 in what counts as a double vic tory and gives the Virginians a 2-0 loop record. Gardner-Webb picked up the Western N. C. Junior College title as a result of the win. With only two junior colleges fielding teams in this section, the two meet twice each year and the winner of the series, either in games or by points, wins the trophy. Gardner- Webb’s 14 point margin was one point more than the 20-7 or 13 point margin win by the Bobcats earlier in the year. A defensive duel for three quarters, the tilt was nearing its climax as Fred (Tyke) Fish er of Virginia intercepted a Bobcat aerial on their 35 and ran it into the two from where halfback Charlie Peeler hit for the TD. In the final minutes of the game, Gardner-Webb marched from their own 30 with fullback Gerald Mathis racking up 32 yards in seven carries to spark ing a 70 yard TD drive. Peeler carried it in from the 10 and Bill Seel of Greenville, S. C., booted his second extra point of the afternoon. been told by reliable sources that this team is headed for Kansas City this spring. Coach Eddie Holbrook has made his first team cut of personnel, leaving 16 boys still on the squad. Fifteen will be the maxi mum carried on the team. Players still out are: George McDowell, Phil Luckadoo, Ken ny Beam, Ron Bray, Butch Rod gers, Rich Holbrook, Jim Boven- der, Drewery Lambert, Coy Doty, Grady Goode, Cecil (Tow- head) Atchley, Dick Foy, Den nis Childress, Jim Melton, Jer ry Moore and Jim Hinsdale. This crew boasts two high school All Americans and two All American (honorable men tion players. Let’s prepare to back these boys all the way to K. C. Moral boosted by a 14-0 up set victory over Region 10 lead er Lees-McRae College, Gard- ner-Webb College Bulldogs hit the gridiron at 8 p.m. Saturday facing the Panthers of Ferrum College of Ferrum, Va. A victory here before an ex pected large Homecoming crowd would elevate the Bulldogs into the thick of fight for champion ship honors in the four team loop. Halftime ceremonies will in clude band music, crowning of a Homecoming Queen out of 14 candidates for the title. On campus, dormitories will be decorated by students. Ferrum slashed into Region 10 action last week, stunning Chowan College 10-7 and grab bing the league lead. Previous ly the Panthers had stopped all non-conference foes but fifth ranked Wesley of Delaware who edged them 19-14 in a rug ged battle. Less than impressive in an opening 20-7 loss to Lees-Mc Rae, the Bulldogs showed mark ed improvement despite a 20-2 loss to Furman Frosh and in their third week faltered 9-6 before Chowan. A win over Ferrum would give the Bulldogs a double vic tory since each league team plays twice during the season but Ferrum, electing to play each team only once, counts the single game as a double win or loss. A tie would give Gardner-Webb a win and a loss. Coach Norman Harris (Bull dogs have been rugged defen sively all season but have lack ed zip offensively. However the two touchdowns against Lees-McRae give hopes for more points in the future as the club reaches mid-season before a host of alumni, facul ty, students and friends.
