Season Begins With Bulldog Wins G-W Will Not Share Victories By TERRY KNIGHT Gardner-Webb in basketball this year is gunning for a high ranking in national standings. The well-drilled and impres sive team, coached by Eddie Holbrook and Ron Hopper have been bouncing opposing teams like a basketball. Starters for this season were difficult to choose from among so much talent available. The starters, thus far, have been center, All-American Artis Gilmore (7-2) and forwards, Ernie Fleming (6-5) and George Adams (6-5). The guard positions have been served by Steve Kebeck (5-11) and Kevin Cantwell (6-1). Also playing are Jack McGill (5-11) at guard and Alan Land (5-9) at another guard. Reserve strength for the Bulldogs is great. The likes of Tony Spagnola, Willie Rogers, Dennis Higgins, Tommy Quinn, Meredith Scruggs, Joe Brookins and Gerry Vaillancourt are there to help out when the go ing gets rough. On this fine team are some of the best players on the Eastern sea- Gardner-vVebb opened its season at home against Friend ship College and what an open ing it was. Ernie Fleming led the scoring with 23 points. George Adams and Steve Ke beck had 20 apiece while Ar tis Gilmore reached 19 and Ke vin Cantwell got 11.

The second game was at Win Football Wrapup By TERRY KNIGHT Gardner-Webb College play ed their last two grid games as a junior college eleven and showed they are really for the big times. GvVC began their offense early in the Appalachian frosh game and scored twenty-one points in the first half.

Gard- Campus Auction Promotes Lounge By RICK BLAKLEY English professors would have been horrified Monday night, December 9, had they attended the auction which took place in Hamrick Auditorium. Twisted words and tongue-tw'id- dling phrases coming from the mouth of the auctioneer gave the auction the feel of a for eign language class. However, a few of the rural students and teachers were able to trans late the “dolla bills” and the “dolla-on-a-hafo’‘ several items. Brush & Scroll Art Review By DAVID GREGORY Why would a G-W student, rushing from class, wish to stop by the 0. Max Gardner Building and look at an exhi bition of art? Probably be cause he would like to see other people’s viewpoint of things he has thought about. The Brush and Scroll Society finds itself also in this sit uation, and can do no more than thank a creator of art, Joe Whisnant’s artwork deals almost exclusively with the frail nature of man and the awesome place of God. He has used va rious media to express the as pects of man’s situation. Joe works primarily with oils on panel, although he exhibited pot tery, plaster, and clay sculp ture, watercolors and a por trait in chalk. Asa collection, Joe’s works shows surprising sensitivity and an almost pro fessional knowledge of the ma terials of art. Professor Mosley obviously understood the auctioneer (.or at least pretended to) for he walked away with most of the good. I didn’t know professors made that much money. I feel that if he had let his dog do the bidding that Mr. Mosley would have come out better in the pocketbook. A painting by Dr. Poston was auctioned and sold tor fif teen dollars. I thought it in teresting that Mrs. Poston re fused to bid for it. The goods were donated by students and faculty members. Some of the higher priced i- tems came from local stores. W hile many of the bidders end ed with some real bargains, others just did not know when to quit. Some interesting items that were auctioned were two puppies, two rabbits, a huge bag of dogfood, a mini-oven, and an antique movie projec tor. Proceeds from the auction go to the redecoration of the Bulldog room. Jan Bingham of the Bulldog room committee described the outlay of the room as a casual lounge containing a television and a study area. The walls of the red and black decorated room shall be re served for well known Gard ner-Webb athletes as a “wall of fame.” Express Yourself. . To The Pilot, Box 395, G-W
