Page 4 Tevard College, Brevard, North Carolina, Friday, December 6, 1935. Harmon Elected Captain C. W. Harmon was elected cap tain of the 1935 Tornado squad by an almost unanimous vote of the eighteen men receiving letters dur ing the past season. The election was the main event of a formal dinner that was held in honor of the squad on Thanksgiving evening just after the final game with Mars Hill. Harmon was one of the most con sistent and energetic men on the Brevard squad. He played prae tically all of every game at tackle, and through his fine work he re ceived a berth on the second all- state junior college team. While in high school he received a medal for being the best all-round athlete in the school. He made a letter in football here last fall. Three Brevard Boys Make All-State Football Team Bud Gaston, Walter Clayton, and Leroy Lail were named on the all- state junior college football team in a poll taken by the Charlotte Observer with nine of the ten conference coaches •SUlJiaitting a team. Gaston received the second highest number of votes for the position he won at end. Bud is a sophomore and was the powerhouse of the Tornado team. Walter Clayton, Brevard’ fastest and best-running back won the berth by his superior ball carrying. Leroy Lail was undoubtedly one of the most consistent linemen in the conference, and well deserves the position he won at guard. C. W. Harmon, captain of the team was named on the second team at at tackle position. Edward Clayton and David Ashworth received honor able mention. Oak Ridge was the only team to place more players than Brevard. CLOTHzira Honest Values r LU^MEE’S A Review of the Season in Football With eight victories, one tie, and one lost the Brevard Tornado foot ball squad packed away their foot- jall togs, after their final game on Thanksgiving, to rest until next all. These Tornado men answered an early call by coming to school to be gin practice on September 16, just one week before the regular session opened. During their first week they had the hardest and best work outs of the entire season. The boys learned each other, as well as a lot of football. The playing season opened Sep tember 28, with the boys playing Biltmore Junior College at Asheville. At that time the team was still un organized and the game ended in a scoreless tie. On the following Saturday the team began a winning streak that they maintained until their final game on Thanhsgiving, when they were beaten by the powerful Mars Hill team. Many of the boys who were in uniform for Brevard on Thanksgiv ing will never be in a football uni form again. A few, however, will continue their career here and oth ers elsewhere. Throughout the season the team had superior spirit. They' loved football and highly respected Coach James. There were a few injuries, as may be expected; but every boy ended the season a stronger man than he began it. As is customary, the outstanding players of the season were awarded letters, these being given for the time played and for the individual’s spirit and willingness. Those re ceiving letters are Bud Gaston, William Edwards Bill Davis, Ed ward Clayton, Walter Clayton, Ellis Frady, Leroy Lail, C. W. Harmon, Ernest Pruett, Clarence Henry, Ev erett Huggins, Garth Thompson, Charles Grey, Bill Furgeson, John Odom, Philip Brooks, David Ash worth, and Dan Williams, manager These were announced at the for mal dinner held in honor of the team Thanksgiving evening.

Continued from -page 1 Charles Deal had an irresistible way of excusing himself from Miss Smith’s English assignments. Give Elmo some cheese; he thinks he is anyhow! Gordon was the only boy who could quote poetry all night to the satisfaction of his roommates. He was also the only one who was al lowed to do this to the dissatisfac tion of those above him. There were only two — Elmo and Nick “Red” Duncan unnecessarily drank a great amount of coffee at one of the cafes up town. Earl was too busy to eat; but he did. The same could be said about his tennis playing. When the telephone rang the one nearest answered, while all the oth ers called him. Our rain was Mr. Dendy’s sun shine. Howard was jack of all trades and master of some. Out of the same deck of which he was Jack his roommate was the duce — I' Duce, however. Any time George Prentice want ed to go hunting the boys gladly called for Dusty. Wilson and Joe, representatives of the business and social activities of Gastonia, enjoyed working in the kitchen, with the privilege of eating, however. Cameron Flake continually waked the boys too early by the hufiing and puffing which resulted from his strenuous morning exercises. John Carson was halted between two opinions — should he ride ride a motorcycle or play a fiddle? It seemed that Burton enjoyed being alone, dspei|ially when his girl friend was with him. The boys on- the sleeping porch did not substitute the verb for the adjective which characterized the porch. Robert Stevenson did some excep tionally good scholastic work in spite of the fact that he had to look after the hens’ nests for his room, mate. Maugans, we did learn to pro nounce your name after seeing you play tennis. Willis Turner was from the Cap ital, but he wasn’t incessantly ask ing for votes to be sent back home. Whether it was in his hair or not, Jessups had strength. Vernon didn’t Tuck-’er awa.y, neither did he put ’er in a pumpkin shell. We heard the voice of one, Wood row Griffiin, calling to the multi tude to play leap-frog; with one ac cord we consented. The 1935 football season came to a close in Brevaed last Thursday when the Delphain Literary Society team defeated the Cliosophic team in a very interesting and well played game, by the score of 13 to 0. The game opened with the Clios’ sicking to their opponents; the Del phians took the ball on their 40 yard line on the play; and, after a consist ent drive, they put over their first touchdown early in the first quarter, when Buchanan carried the ball on an off-guard play from the Clio 2 yard line. The Delphians continued their at tack and scored again in the opening minutes os the second quarter; Deal was in the scoring on the play as he carried the ball off-tackle for the need ed three yards to toll. The attempt for the point failed. Throughout the entire second half neither team threatened their op ponents’ goal. The Clios, however, began a driving attack that netted fifty yards near the end of tha game. Football Schedule Date Team Place B. C.
