EYES BIG BATTLE — Bob Hussey, former KMHS basketball

gest battles of his college career tonight when his Crusaders
go to Boiling Springs to test Eddie Holbrook's Gardner-Webb
Bulldogs. Tonight's game will mark the first ever for the two
area colleges and promises to be the start of one ot the top
small college rivalries in the state.

By GARY STEWART
World War III
Thirty-one years ago today, the Japanese bombed
Pearl Harbor and World War II began for the United
State.s.
Another war i)egins tonight at 7:30. The place of bat
tle will be Bosi Gym in Boiling Springs. The foes will be
a band of Crusaciers from Belmont Abbey College and
.some hungry Bulldog.s from Gardner Webb College.
Each side will be made up ot five fighters. Plenty of
shots will be fired. But their ammunition will be a basket
ball and their targtd will be a basket.
The generals of the troops will have to sit on the
sidelines and watch while two peacemakers in striped
shirts run up and down the battlefield to see that the
fighting doesn't get loo fierce. \
The two generals are alike in that neither likes to
lose. Off the battlefield, they are close friends. But during
this battle, they’ll be after each other’s throats.
The general of the Gardner-Webb ai’my is Elddie Hol
brook. He's a tested veteran in this business, even though
|his army this year isn’t as strong as in years pa.st.
" The general of the Belmont Abbey army is Bobby
Ilu.ssey. He’s had his stripes only a year. However, he’s
gaining rank Iasi. He’s highly respected in his field. He
has a young army but his soldiers are eager. Like their
fcarle.ss leader, they hate to lose.
The some 2,OK) iwrsons who will view this war in
person will e.xpeci the home forces to win it. They’re
fighting on home soil. They hardly ever lose there.
The (Lu'dner-Wcbb soldiers have been in big battles
before. Last year, they were the fourtli best force in the
United Stales in their battle division, which is called the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.. How
ever, the .soldier who made the most kills tor last year's
army, a muscular sergeant named George Adams, is now
doing his fighting for the San Diego Conquistadors of the
American Basketball Association.
A! Gi'aves. who was only one step below Adams in
rank last year, is still around though. And, he performs
at his best in big battles. He’ll be one of the leaders of
the Bulldog offensive. ,
General Holbrooks recruiters have done a good job.
They persuaded Jim Blanks of Kansas City, John Drew
of Alabama, and others, to enlist in Holbrook's arpiy. And,
Holbrook has other fighters left over from last year, in-
(duding Billy Ellis, a little soldier who carries a big punch,
A1 Jones, Ken Napier, and others.
General Hussey has all of his warriors back from a
year ago. However, they weren’t in as many big battles
as the Bulldogs and they didn’t win as many either. In
fact, they won exactly half of their 26 encounters.
But Hussey figure.s his troops learned a lot in those
13 defeats. And, this year other generals in the District
26 battle zone are sqying Hussey's Crusaders might win
^more fights than anybody else. '
f The best fighter in General Hussey’s army probably
is Carl Bell, who. like Hussey, has been going into combat
for the Crusaders for just one year. But, Bell is 6-d and
usually out-battles foe.s much bigger than he.
Other members of Hussey’s brigade are Larry Cone,
Alike Randall. Jim McDede and David Sluganski. All four
joined Bell on Hussey's front-line last year and they .stood
up well in battle. ,
Like his counterpart, Hussey recruited some other
good fighters.. Some of them might even get on the front
line and send some of the veterans to the rear. But, Gen
eral Hussey doesn't mind. He wants his best five men in
lh(* heat of the battle. Just as Holbrook does.
Tonight’s encounter will be the first ever for these
tw^o armies. The Gardner-Webb general has been wanting
to w'age this battle for years. However, Louie O Gorman,
the general wdio was in command at Belmont Abbev De-
fore Hussey, would have nothing to do with it. He claim-
Ilolbrook had stolen one of his best soldiers, a seven-foot
giant named Henry Boyd. ^ tt
Whether or not that is true doesn t matter to Hussey.
He likes to go into battle against the best. And. most ex
perts of this kind of war will quikly tell you that Gard
ner-Webb is the best. . ..-ji ..u i ■ ^ r
Hussey’s troops need this win badly. It s the kind of
victory that would put his army on the basketball map.
A loss would leave a bitter taste in his mouth, to say
nothing about what it would do to Holbrook.
The battle will be hot and the outomo will boil dowm
to whether or not Hussey’s defensive can withstand Hol
brook’s offensive. Whoever wins will know they've been
in the toughest fight of th-eir lives. .,i J i u ;i
At the battle's end, the two generals will shake hands
and beome friends again. But, this friendship won't last
long. For on February 10 theyi! go through the same
^thing again, only this time on Belmont Abbeys home
ffioil.

Mountaineers Third In All-Time SWC Standing
By GARY STEWART
Herald Sports Editor
Their first undefeated, untied
season under Coach Gerald Allen
has enable<l Slielby’s Goddon
Lions to surpass the century
mark in all-time Southwestern
Ccmfcrenco football victories.
Since the SWC w’as formed in
1954, the Lions have won 107
games, last 23 and tied eight for
a winning percentage of .801.
Those figures put them far ahead
of the SWC’s other nine outfits.
Figures supplied by W. C. Clary,
executive st’eretary of the West
ern N. C. High Schools Activities
A-srociation, show six of the 10
SWC sdiools W'ith eanfermee win
ning percentages of .500 or bet
ter.
The top six, in order, are Shelby
(.804), Lincolnton (.652), Kings
Mountain (.609), Rutherfordtoin
(..528), Belmont 5^th Point (.504),
and East Rutherford (.500), The
remaining schools are Crest
(.377). Chase (.269), Cherryville
(.238), and Bums (.111). •
Seven ctf the schools have been
rruembers of the conference since
its beginning. Chase joined the
I loop in 1959 and Crest and Burns
I berame oonference mombc*TS in
1968.
■Shelby won the fir-^t SWC
I crown in 1954 ;tnd has since won !
or shared 10 more conference |
titles. The Lions have also won j
the association title tluee times,
including this year when they
finished tJie season as the top-
ranked 3-A team in the state.
Kings Mountain tied Forest
City, now East Rutherford, in
1955 and took over the lead in
the all-thne SWC standings. The
Mountaineers held that lead un
til 1961 when Shelby took over.
The Lions took ov’er as the
SWC’s football ix>wer in ’61 and
have been atop the loop stand
ings ever since. Shelby began to
dominate the conference in 1968
when the Lions won their first
of three straight conference titles.
The Lions have now wn four
of he la.st fb e conference champ
ionships.
Shelby now has 21 more vic
tories than lits closest foe, Lin-
coflnton. which has an all-time
record of 86-44-8. Kings Mountain
isn’t far behind with a 7B-47-13
iigure.
In titles won or shared, Kings
■Mountain is sevond with fi\'e.
Then comes Lincolnton wiih foiu',
Kasi Rutherford with threi* and
r.-S Central and South Point with
>no a;)ieco.
Cn four ot'casions in its 19
years of existence, the SWC has
had co-cham'pion.s. Co-titlists in
cluded Kings Mountain and For-
o.st City in 1955, Linexjinton and
Siirlby in 1962, Kings Mountain
and Shelby in 1963 and East
Rutherford and Lincolnton in
19o.5. The FWC had tri-champions
in 1959 when Kings Mountain.
Ruthorfardton and Shelby shared
the title with 4-1-2 records.
Eight times, tho SWC champ
ion has gone undefeated and un
tied, including the last four .sea
sons. Unbeaten, untied champ
ions include Shelby in 1961, ’69.
'70 and '72, Kings Mountain In
1964. East in 1966, Lincolnton in
1967 and South Point in 1971. On
e-iglit other occasions, only ties
prevented tlio champions or co
champions from having undefeat
ed c.almipaigns.
The only tiimes a oTiampion has
euffored a oonferenra loss wort
■ in \54, when Shelby was 5-1, *57
when the Lion.s were 5-1 and '59
i when the Liens. K.M and Ruther-
i fordton were 4-1-2.
In other conferences in the
! WXCirSAA, Moor(‘sville leads in
titles won in tlie Xorth Pietimont
, with five, Albemarle in the South
I Pioiimont with seven and Hirckory
In the North'we.stern with se\'en
e\*on though the Tornadoes left
that league to go 4 A in 1967.
Lexington has won three A’orth
PitvinDont and two South Pied

and .Asheboro ha.s won two North
Piedmont and four South Pied

mong actiw NWC teams, Wilkes
Central is tho top title winner
\^’ith four, Lenoir with thret* and
V^aldesc* with two. Watauga. Tay
lorsville and Newton - Cono\’er
have won one apiece.
Albemarle’s dominance of titles
in the SPC i.s a result of a pow-
erhouic in tho early years of the
W?JrHSAA. Albemarle won or
