The starting time for Sun
day’s racing action here at
Carolina Speedway has been
moved to 8 p.m., according to
Promoter Edgar Gault.
Gault said the reason for the
change to night racing is to
give drivers and mechanics
more time to get their cars
ready. “We want to give those
drivers who have blown en
gines or wrecked a chance to
get them back in shape for
Sunday’s races,” Gault said.
“Many drives have had to set
out Sunday racing for this very
fact.”
Such wasn’t the case Sunday
as 14 of the area’s top Sport
sman were on hand for the
main event. CarlSmart of Hi
ckory, in a Chevy II grabbed
the 1^ on the first lap and
led Daniel Warlick, inaChevy
n, Freddy Smith, in a Mus
tang, Stick Elliott, in a Chevy
n a^ Mike Duvall, also in a
Chevy n, around the track in
that order.
J. C. Humphries of Gaffney,
after star^ at the rear,
pushed his way out front to win
the Hobby race. Humphries
Suicides among young
people reported rising.
was followed by Ben Smith of
Spartanburg and Doug Cooper
of Gastonia. Ail of these, a-
long with the ever-popular
Jerry Bullock of Gaffney, are
expected to be on hand Sunday
afternoon.
Phillip Eggers of Gaffney,
after winning his first race
at Carolina, will return along
with Eddie Morris, Henry
Norman and Gilbert Reynolds.
"We’re now getting one of
the best fields of Sportsman
drivers anywhere,” Gault
said. "We’veraisedtbepurse
to $s00-$400-$300-$200-$100
in that order right down
through the 15th place and this
has helped our field. Also,
we have the only Sunday races
in the area,” he said.
Gates will open at 6 p.m.,
with racing getting underway
at 8, The Sportsman heat
races will be run first, fol
lowed by the Hobby heat. Then
the main event will be run ear
ly to give those who have to
get to bed early a chance to
do so. The Hobby and Rookie
mains will be run last.

The American League will
open It’s schedule on May 2nd
at the Community Center. Five
teams will make up the league.
They are Dicey Mills, W.D,
Lee, Oxford Knit, Gastonia
Heating and Minette of Grover.
This should be quite an inter
esting league, as some of these
teams are newcomers to the
league.
No word has been received
on the Church League schedule
as of yet, however, the league
opens on April 17th. Temple
Baptist will play Faith Baptist
in one of the openers.
Macedonia, El Bethel and
Temple Baptist should be
among the favorites In the lea
gue. At this time. It Is stiil
hard to even attempt to fore
cast a possible winner.
Women’s Softball in Kings
Mtn, doesn’t look too bright at
the present, as three of last
year’s team have moved on to
the new league in Gastonia.
Firestone, Wilson-Perkins and
the Trl - Angels of Belmont,
have all join^ the new league.
Kings Mtn. fans wish them luck
as I know we will miss them.
***
Rumors are flying real high
in the softball circles that the
District 33 and Area tourna
ments will both be played in
Kings Mtn.. This will be quite
a treat for local fans.
Gardner-Webb College has
announced an eleven game
football schedule for 1972 with
two new opponents, Catawba
and Wofford College.
Head Coach George Litton
said that the Bulldogs will
meet Catawba in Bolling
Springs, Saturday night, Oct.
14, and will journey to Spar
tanburg, S. C., to meet Wof
ford, Saturday night, Nov. 11.
A big change in the schedule
is a Thanksgiving afternoon
game with Lenoir Rhyne in
Boiling Springs. Last year the
Bulldogs and the Bears played
in the opening game for both
teams.
Tberearesixhomegames on
the schedule with Guilford,
Georgetown and Catawba set
for night games and Mars Hill,
Eton and Lenoir Rhyne set for
day games. Mars Hill will be
the Bulldogs’ Homecoming
opponent on October 28.
The Bulldogs will open their
season with a trip to New
berry, S. C., to play the Indi
ans on September 16. This
will be foUowed by a visit to
Birmingham, Ala., to meet
Sanford on September 23.
Carson-Newman will host the
Bulldogs in Jefierson City,
Tennessee, on October 21.
^ Artie Shoemaker, a real nice
coach and a good friend of
mine, is doing a fine job for
Champion Landscaping. Artie
never bawls a player out in
public and he seems to get his
points across to his players
very well. I look for this team
to surprise a lot of people.
Teams around the National
League that will be hard to
beat are Champion’s No. 2,
Craltspun, Duplex and Carolina
Throwing. Look for a real
tight race in this one before the
season end.
The following lineup of play
ers will represent Craftspun
Yarn this season in Indus
trial Slow-Pitch Softball lea
gue.
The team is coached and
managed by Gerald Hlpps.
Players are; Gary Shields,
Leonard Smith, Lefty Muss,
Glenn Perkins, Wendell Har
vey, Bubbles Pearson, Jerry
Ramsey, Dickie Burgess,
Pete Burgess, Steve Hicks,
Ricky Johnson, Larry John
son.

Switching from softball to
baseball, our hats are off to
Tommy Pruitt and his Central
Jr. High “Patriots”. Tommy
has another fine team. They
really play an exciting brand
of ball.
Next week, we hope to furnish
some more schedules plus
some results from the Church
league.
