Litton Leads Dogs
In Home Opener
Against Newberry
By RICHARD
Newberry’s Indians will furnish
the opposition when the Bulldogs
open the 1971 season at home
Saturday night at 7:30. The South
Carolina eleven will come to
Boiling Springs with revenge in
mind since the Bulldogs scored a
3-0 win last year in Newberry. It
was the first senior college win
for the Bulldogs.
Coach George Litton will be in
his second year as head Bulldog
at Gardner-Webb. Even though his
first year’s work showed only two
wins in ten games things look
much brighter for the 1971 season.
Litton does have problems—
mainly a shortage of offensive
linesmen. Over-all depth injuries
hurt the Bulldog cause drastically
last year and should there be as
many this year, it could be another
long season for Bulldog followers.
Coach Litton is blessed with
one of the finest signal callers in
the two Carolinas. Junior, Ray
Hannon ranked in the top 20 last
year in NAIA status. He closed
out the season with a game total
offensive average of more than

Tim Livingston, a sophomore and
Heath, a junior, will be at guard.
The center will be Gary Black-

The defense should be tough,
but the defensive backfield will
have to make improvements. Two
fine defensive backs, senior Tom
my Way and Steve Carswell will
be seeing plenty of action. Hardin
Davis, Coleman Hunt and Mike
Godfrey will try to hold the front
line for the Bulldogs.

WILL THEY DO IT AGAIN?
Last year Bemie Sanders booted a 31 yard field goal in the second
quarter of the Newberry game and the G. W. defense made it stick for
a 3-0 win. This was Gardnei^Webb’s first win over a senior college.
In the Newberry game this Saturday, will Gardner-Webb be able to
show their strength again? Give the Bulldogs the support they deserve
and come out Saturday. In the picture above, the center is Gary Black-
well, with Bernie Sanders kicking and Tommy Way holding.
