PAGE 4 THE PILOT TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1969 G-W Comes Closer To Goal By TERRY KNIGHT Winning is a necessity for every coach in today’s sports world, and Coach Eadie Hol brook is getting his share. The Gardner-Webb Bulldogs have proven themselves to be one of the best junior college teams in the land. On December 7, just before International Travel For Changes Name By RICKY BLAKLEY The International Relations Club met for the last time this past Wednesday. The club will be known hence forth as the Committee on International Relations and United Nations Affairs. The club members vo ted to change the name and the club is known (affectionately) by its members as Ciruna. The club in its Wednesday meeting, chose the delegates who shall attend the Middle South Model United Nations at Lake Junaluska in March. The members chosen were Rick Blakley, Perry Dover, Rick Jester, and a Bolivian stu dent , “Freddy Rodreguez.’The delegates will be representing Austria, and they anticipate a tough debate over the Czech- oslov3( invasion by Russian dominated nations. The club also made last ar rangements on an International Banquet to be held the evening of February eighteenth in honor of Gardner-Webb’s foreign stu dents. CIRUNA hopes the ban quet will become a traditional affair at Gardner-Webb. A program on Hong Kong was presented by Miss W'innie Kong. The program included a docu mentary and slides. The slides had been sent to Miss Kong by the Hong Kong Tourist Assoc iation, but somehow Dr. Allen and Dr. Lamb’s pictures got in the slides just as the docu mentary began explaining about the government officials of Hong Kong. It was a surprise to many of the club’s mem bers that two such distinguished government officials should be members of the Gardner-Webb Faculty. the Christmas break, the Bull dogs played host to one of the best freshman teams in the nation from the University of North Carolina at Chapel HUl. The Dogs (working with the inside help of George Adams, Artis Gilmore and Ernie Flem ing along with the outside shoot ing and ball handling of Steve Kebeck and Kevi n Cantwell) handed the “Hills” their first loss with an impressive 93-80 victory. Tony Spagnola, Jack McGill, Alan Land and Willie Rogers added punch to the Bull dog attack. While most students were out for the Christmas holidays, the Bulldogs were busy defending their high ranking against some tough teams in the Holiday Tournament held in Bost Gym. The four teams participating were McCook (Nebraska), Brandywine (Delaware), De- Kalb College (Atlanta, Ga.) and the Bulldogs. Coach Holbrook and the Bull dogs got a nice Christmas win, but it was not a gift. The BuU- dogs disposed of DeKalb Col lege the first night and ad vanced into the finals behind the gunning of Artis Gilmore. In the championship game a- gainst Brandywine, Gilmore poured in 21 points followed by 20 from Ernie Fleming, 17 from. Steve Kebeck, and 14 from Geo rge Adams. The Bulldogs be came the Holiday Tournament Champions with a 85-79 tri umph. Playing in Fort Pierce, Fa. with Indian River College the Bulldogs dropped thefirstgame of the season. Indian River, the highest scoring team in the na tion, handed G-W a 136-109 setback despite a 28 point ef fort by Ernie Fleming and 19 by Artis Gilmore. Another thriller was the game between G-W and Miami Dade. The Bulldogs, still on the road, went into overtime with the three-point play by Ernie Flem ing with six seconds remaining in overtime was the margin for victory. High scoring ho nors were shared by Ernie Fleming and George Adams with 23 apiece. Later, the Dogs more easily defeated Abraham Baldwin Col lege (Tifton, Ga.). On January U, the Bulldogs returned home to battle Clemson’s frosh. Gil more, scoring 32 points, led G-W to a 98-59 romp. GWC also disposed of North Greenville in preparation for the double-header to be held at Bost Gym with Mercer. In both games the Dogs came through compiling up 127 points the first night and 114 the next night to win their second tour nament crown. The Dogs, after the winnings over Spartanburg and Wingate suffered a close defeat to Bre vard. However, the sq uad plans revenge on February 20, when Brevard visits Bost Gym. Kings College offered little resistance as the Bulldogs overcame them 122-75 and Lees-McRae, an archrival, tried its best to stop the po werful Bulldogs with cheers such as “Whomp upside the head.” Lees-McRae was the only one to get “whomped ” as the Dogs acquired the US- 79 game. Gaston College offered stiff competition to the Bulldogs but with Tony Spagnola substitut ing for injured George Adams and Alan Land filling in some for Jack McGill and Steve Ke beck it was an exciting 125- 105 win for the Dogs. G-W’s Empire Building ...King’s ‘Konked’ Gardner-Webb College, in anticipation of its senior col lege program, has become a member of the new program for foreign study being directed by the Association of Southern Baptist Colleges and Schools.

Brevard is the only confer ence team to have defeated the Bulldogs this year and a large crowd isexpectedforthisgame. The Wake Frosh have had an excellent season since losingto the Bulldogs early in the year and that game is expected to be a real struggle. Advance ticket sales are heavy, it is reported.

The dates for the national Coffee House Future Viewed Dean Holland and a troop of college representatives attended the National Entertainment Conference Annual Convention Sat urday through Wednesday last week. At the convention, the troop lined up entertainment engagements for Gardner-Webb such as the Classics Four and Jerry Butler, both to appear this fall. Some of the other members of the troop were Assistant Professor Jerry Hill, Gloria Poston, Kay Anthony and Steve Phillips. Special recognition was cited for Kay Anthony who was the best campaigner for the group. Gardner-Webb is a charter member of the N. E. C., and Dean Holland presided over meetings of the colleges of North Carolina to gain talent for the state’s coffee house circuit. The Coffee House Circuit is a system by which entertain ment can be gained for mem.ber college campuses much more cheaply than _ a college could alone. When a college makes a bid for particular talent, arrangements and agreements are made with other colleges so that these colleges shall also feature the same talent. The colleges then set up schedules of dates which form a circuit that the entertainers must travel. The colleges pay the entertainers a ‘lump’ salary, and hence save on finances. Sports Shorts Excellent scoring shots have highlighted all the Bulldog games. Here are the top four ‘point-getters’ of the G-W team (as compiled through the Lees- McRae game). Fleming — 23.4 Gihnore - 22.2 Kebeck — 15.9 Adams — 16.0 Coach Jerry Bryson started the spring baseball training last week. Last year the team won their second straight Western Carolina Junior College Con ference title. The golf team, under the coaching of Dr. Garland Al len, finished second in the con ference and second in Region 10 last year. With four return ing sophomores, the team is looking for a great season. Re turning sophomores are: Mark Crawford, Greenville, S. C.; Greg Gault, Greenville, S. C.; Johnny Henderson, Converse, S. C.; Bobby Hines, Greenville, S.

C.; Yardaman Banks, Fairfax, Va. and Joe Patton, Morganton, N. C. Evening Advance Last Tuesday night, Gardner- W'ebb Campus became the scene of a major attempt by the male students (predominantly of Decker) to occupy the girls’ dormitories of Stroup and Ha- py. Upon signal by female a- gents within the dorms, the masculine armada charged in strength across the campus to ward Stroup Dormitory. Jerry Ruppe, his keen ears denoting a rather large up rising taking place, bravely headed alone to Stroup to cut off the male advance. However, Super Ruppe was outflanked by the second wave of the advance, and the male students headed for their alternative objective, Hapy Dormitory. The students occupied the front lawn area for about one minute but had to withdraw after a brilliant psy chological campaign", made on the part of Dean Thurman Le wis and Mr. Howell (the Pink erton guard), had severely re duced the students numbers. In good military fashion. Dean Lewis and his counter attack forces followed up the retreat and occupied, for a short while, Decker Dormitory. Finally, all had settled and the girls could relax once again knowing that Dean Lewis and Super Ruppe wee on the job.
