'Peahead' Walker
Years ago when Wake Forest was a college and not a prestigious
university, when the school was located at Wake Forest and actually
got along on Baptist dollars without the benefit of the Reynolds
green, the football team played in the first Groves Stadium and
was coached by an irrascible, profane, demanding, unreasonable
genius named Douglas Clyde Walker. All of his friends called him
Peahead, and his enemieshad various namesfor him which generally
reflected either on his parentage or his legitimacy or both.
Peahead Walker gave Wake Forest more coachingper dollar than
any institution of higher learningever extracted from a football man
in the history of the game. He instilled in his players a fierce desire
to win, for they had rather face the devil himself with a bad Monday
hangover than to writhe under the scourge of Peahead’s vitriolic
tongue. The trouble with Peahead those days was that he lacked
the modicum of hypocrisy necessary to be acceptable to all the
clergy who roamed about in Baptist Bottom. In fact, when some of
the good brethren visiting the Wake Forest campus on ecclesias
tical matters saw fit to visit the football practice session. Peahead
seemed to spew forth an even more impressive barrage of lan
guage than he ordinarily did. Whatever reason you may have heard,
and whatever else may have mitigated the situation, Peahead really
left Wake Forest because he was strangling on Baptist preachers.
The fierce desire to win mentioned above was predicated largely
on fear. For while most of his hulking behemoths towered over Pea
head by a good 12 inches and sol id hundred pounds, they were scared
to death of him. And this unreasoning apprehension was shared by
most of the sportswriters who languished in the business at that
time.
But for all his ferocity, Peahead turned out to be a paper tiger.
Inside, the man has always been warm and cursed with an intense
loyalty to his friends and to the things in which he believed. It
was this very loyalty to his principles that prevented his com
promise with the meddling bands of roving clergymen who infest
ed the Wake Forst campus. So, he hauled off to Canada where he
was an uncommon success in the Professional Canadian League.
In recent years Peahead has been a scout for the New York football
Giants and much in demand as an after-dinner speaker whose salty
style and incisive wit could at once convulse and impress audien
ces of all ages and inclinations.
Presbyterian College's tennis
team ran its record to 9-3 Tues
day with a convincing 9-0 triumph
over Harvard University.
The Blue Hose will journey to
Athens, Ga., today for a match

The Blue Hose tracksters lost
76-68 to Wofford in the season’s
opener last week in Spartanburg
and are to face St. Andrews Col
lege in Laurinburg,N. C., on Fri
day.
In the loss to Wofford, PC was
without three of its returning let-
termen, including Doug Bowles,
the top point man on last year’s
team. Bowles, who injured an
ankle in an intramural basket
ball game, is just now rounding
back into form and may run a-
gainst St. Andrews. Bowles is
PC’s top sprinter. Javeline
thrower Bob Cosby has been out
with an illness but he also may
be ready for the St. Andrews
meet. Hurdler Tom Porter also
missed the Wofford meet because
of illness and his status is un
certain.
Thornwell product Rick Little
was the top point man for PC
in the Wofford meet as he gar
nered 10 points, winning both the
mile run and the two-mile run. A
senior, he has won three track
letters prior to this season.
Bill Caldwell, a junior from
Atlanta, Ga., put together an un
usual combination of events to
garner 7 1/4 points. Caldwell
placed second in the shot put and
then finished second in the 100-
yard dash. Freshman Bobby
Whiteside of Columbia also had
7 1/4 points, winning the 880-
yard run and running a leg on the
mile relay team. In 1968, White-
side held the state record in the
880 while a student at A. C.
Flora High School.

TIP
Peahead’s wife, Flonnie, probably has heard all of his stories
10 times over, but she always laughs the loudest She also plays a
very mean piano, and as the sportswriters grew older and lost some
of their fear of Peahead, it never failed to be great fun to sing around
the piano with Flonnie. Peahead knew he was tone-deaf, but he sang
anyway. ..

To eliminate these squeaks,
