BULLDOG
SPORTS
By Larry Thomas
This Saturday the Bull
dogs travel to Newberry,
S.C. to take on the Indians
of Newberry College, who
are coming off a 5-5-1 record
in 1973.
One of the losses the In
dians suffered last year was
a 23-14 defeat at the feet of
the ’Dogs, and since the first
game of this season is
against Gardner-Webb, they
will certainly be motivated
against the Bulldogs.
The Indians should be im
proved over last year with a
large number of starters re
turning, among them all the
fullbacks and running
backs. Because of this, the
Indians are expecting the
best rushing offense in re
cent Newberry history.
One great loss to the In
dian team was their number
one quarterback’s gradua
tion. He had started since
his freshman year and wiU
be hard to replace. Now the
chore is placed on the pass
ing arm of a local high school
product, Stuart Leslie, a
junior from Newberry.
Their offensive line re
turns intact, this year led by
All-District NAIA Allen
New and co-captain Mike
Harper, a two year starter.
But the success of the 1974
edition of the Newberry In
dians will depend on how
soon their defense matures
into a unit, and how they
cope with the loss of Greg
Hartlo, who was drafted by
the St. Louis Cardinals of
the NFL.
On Saturday, September
28, the Bulldogs play host to
the Terriers of Wofford Col
lege. Last year the Terriers
suffered their first losing
season since 1968 including
a 35-20 loss to the ’Dogs.
This year’s team will have
several plus factors over last
year featuring a new head
coach and a 1000 yards-plus
running back, along with a
senior quarterback who
passed for 1400 yards last
year and rushed for 518.
The new coach is Steve
Satterfield, a former South
Carolina quarterback, and
Clemson varsity coach. He
helped install the veer of
fense at Clemson last year
and has brought the popular
offensive scheme with him
to Wofford.
The Terriers have 31 re
turnees from last year’s
team around which they ex
pect to build a winper this
season. Among them wiU be
Carter Davis, the quarter
back who has established
two school records, compil
ing over 1900 yards in total
offense last year accounting
for 25 touchdowns.
Also returning will be jun
ior Rick Satterfield who led
the state in rushing in 1973
with 1198 yards on 227 at
tempts.
Defensively, the Terriers
must improve after allowing
24.9 points per game last
year, and giving up over 150
yards passing per game.
Opponents two and three,
Newberry and Wofford, will
•present seasoned teams to
go against our Bulldogs.
Both teams lost to the ’Dogs
in 1973 and will be looking
for revenge this year. Make
plans to go with the team to
Newberry and be sure to
stick around and support
them as they host the Wof
ford Terriers on September
28.
Players Of The Week
Action during scrimmage with Westem-Carolina.
Two football players, jun
ior, Bob Bolick, and sopho
more, Marcus Trivett, were
named players of the week
for Gardner-Webb College.
These two young men
played an important part in
the 14-14 tie of the Bulldogs
with Lenoir Rhyne Saturday
night in Hickory.
Coach George Litton said
that he must have to get an
even better performance out
of his entire team if the Bull
dogs are going to stay in the
game with the tough New
berry Indians Saturday
night in Newberry, S.C.
“Newberry has a very fine
ball club and the Indians are
probably one of the biggest
teams we will face this
year,” said Litton. “They
have a fine fullback in Ron
nie Harwell, a senior, who
gained almost five years
every time he carried the
ball last year. ”
Bolick, a product of Un
ion, South Carolina, is a 6-4,
250 pound offensive tackle
for the Bulldogs and accord
ing to offensive coach, Steve
Curtis, he graded out “very
high” and was cited for
some fine downfield block
ing in the Lenoir Rhyne
game.
Trivette, a Newton na
tive, was credited by the
coaching staff with eight
tackles in which he was the
lone man and assisted or
madeciinitial contact in 12
others. According to defen
sive line coach, John Taylor,
Trivette graded out at 75%
and “didn’t make any ser
ious mistakes.” Taylor said
that Trivette showed “ex
ceptional leadership along
the defensive front.”
